A swing and a miss

The concept is certainly interesting; Sailor Moon being fathered by Naruto as a result of Naruto being flung into the Silver Millennium, but the execution was just bad to me. The characterization of some of the characters rubs me the wrong way; turning Queen Serenity—-canonically a kind, loving mother and a benevolent queen—-into a cold, uncaring person who was basically a tyrant and Princess Serenity isn't much better or maybe worse. The portrayal of the Moon Kingdom also rubbed me the wrong way for the same reasons as he basically portrays the Kingdom as a world-conquering empire that treats humans as inferior beings. I feel like the author went out of his way to portray the characters of Sailor Moon in a worse way possible so that Naruto could come off as more badass and as a better character. Not to mention how Naruto basically steals the Scouts' thunder by pre-emptively taking out the Dark Kingdom. Yes, I know he does this to protect his little girl, but it still basically taking away what is canonically their victory to give to Naruto. I also find it ironic that Naruto bitches about the Moon Kingdom being a matriarchal society when one of the most common complaints about his manga is how the female characters, especially the most important ones, are nerfed in their development. With all the things the author got wrong with the SM canon, one has ton wonder if he's even a fan of it or not. Another review recommends this for both SM and Naruto fans, but speaking as a fan of both, I wouldn't recommend it at all; even a Naruto fan who'd never seen Sailor Moon would probably be disappointed by how OOC Naruto acts at times.
