This story is a non-canonical side-story to Thousand Shinji.
Essentially it does away with all character development, themes and plotlines of TS and turns their Jerk with a Heart of GoldAntiHeroes into hypocritical, despotic, super-powerful Boring Invincible Villain Sues that enjoy committing atrocities and travelling to other universes to beat up, bully and mock their heroes -and sometimes villains-, all in the name of fighting people that is barely eviler than them (or they merely do it For the Evulz). It's boring how they always win, they always get away with everything and they are always right. And if someone calls them out on their actions, they stomp him/her flat, torture him/her or brain-wash him/her. Also, they deliberately always choose targets that are weaker than them so that nobody can fight them back (funny like the Goddess of War suddenly wants easy adversaries rather demanding challenges like she used to).
The plot is contrived and convoluted and full of plotholes and inconsistences. There're too many subplots and loose ends that go nowhere. Many descriptions are tiresome Purple Prose. New characters show up and are treated like a big deal before being quickly forgotten. New universes are pointlessly introduced even although they add nothing to the story and don't advance the "plot". And you spend a bunch of chapters reading about the author's MarySues and characters that you don't know of/care about/like as waiting for the return of characters that you actually love (even if they've been so utterly warped they're unrecognisable and even despicable). It's very telling that in the last twenty-four chapters Shinji only appears twice and Asuka only shows up once, and the remainder two main characters are completely absent.
Sure, there're some good bits... But when your AntiHeroes have been turned into gleefully irredeemable VillainSues that constantly commit all sort of inhumane crimes and then simultaneously insist that they are not "good" AND get angry because they are being treated as "bad", and they are replaced with boring and just so evil MarySues there's little to no motivation to keep reading.
Thank God the author said that it's not canon because I liked TS, and this side-story would ruin it for me.
