If this was simply Team RWBY riffing on Red Vs Blue, this would be the fanfic we waited for. The author's later attempt at making the RVB cast watch RWBY is mostly that, and worked just fine. Even if the snark depends on the characters taking a comedy shows completely serious, it's amusing and often funny.
But no, the writing has some glaring problems, and when it falls, the story between RVB episodes (not to mention some long-winded reactions) become a time to say goodbye and just skip for an easier read.The characters are changed into aggressive, potty-mouthed and perverted caricatures, and it gets even worse with the implementation of alternate personalities (and seeing a particularly annoying one getting more and more space to the point of being a character of their own is grating). Creating new backstories - which is slightly justifiable by the author starting way early in the show, but it's hard to swallow them being repeated over and over until the sudden retcon to add what's actually canon - and adding weird stuff such as "aura modes" doesn't help. And then there's resorting to shock value - wanton graphic violence! disgusting toilet humor! - and the frequent mispellings, which are glaring when they're beside the right way in the episode transcripts.
In-between, the author lets Team JNPR just live a mostly filler story with songs from the RVB soundtrack. Weird, but more bearable than what is done to Team RWBY.
In short, all flaws in this fanfic detract a lot from the parts that actually work. Uknown hero, the triumph won't be yours.
Could be much better
