Yes, at first glance, this fanfiction seems like nothing more than something for the Furry chubby chasers out there who just want to see Rouge with some meat on her bones; hell, the fanfic is even on a furry website! But, looking past the potential Fetish Fuel, this is one of the more faithful Sonic fanfictions I've read in a while.
Rouge's character portrayal stays true to the source material. She is resourceful, arrogant, and takes great pride in her appearance, which is why the concept of this story is so fascinating. The idea of Rouge taking a vacation for once in her life could end up with some interesting results, and this is exactly what happens here. After months of relaxation, Rouge ends up unknowingly fattening herself up in the process. Her first reactions after realizing this were subtle but effective, and although throughout the story her belly ends up causing her grief, Rouge is still determined to get her hands on her precious jewels no matter the circumstances, which does fit in with Rouge's persona.
On the comedy side, as the host website suggests, yes, this is a story about animals getting stuck in some bad places. In here, this happens twice. It's lampshaded that Rouge was always very curvy, and the time finally comes where this comes to bite her in the ass while undergoing a stealth mission. The irony is quite entertaining. Finally, just when you think that Rouge has come to terms with her new physique and is about to get away, she gets stuck one more time, and if it weren't for Shadow, she would've stayed there. This moment gives Rouge some good Character Development as her arrogance had finally gotten the best of her, which gives her a new sense of humility, one that I think does fit with Rouge.
The way the story ends is interesting. She ends up returning the stolen jewel, and the question of whether or not Rouge ends up losing the extra pounds remains ambiguous; although she was annoyed by it, she was also amused by some aspects of it, such as her playful banter with Shadow; even giggling when he poked her stomach as a joke. One reviewer points out the potential for a sequel, and I think this story deserves one. It gives us a chance to see Rouge in a new light, one that, despite all odds, I think helps develop her character rather than ruin it.
