An OC centric fan fic may not be everyone's cup of tea, especially with every Randy Cunningham OC being little more but a new ninja. But Ken is different. He is not a ninja, nor is he the stereotypical good-looking hero. He is also something of a Jerk with a Heart of Gold, making him less perfect a character. Also when it comes to his romance with can character Heidi it is not perfect. Jet556 has written many Randy Cunningham fan fics and it was only what? The fifteenth story where Ken and Heidi finally become a couple. Also, Ken is not liked by everyone nor does he come across as the sanest of people. He seems to have encountered every sort of cryptozoological, extraterrestrial and supernatural beast and seems to be crazy when he speaks of them to the point of scaring others. He isn't some perfect cardboard character. He is a person.
Now, moving on from Ken and his interactions with others I must admit that there is some Early Installment Weirdness. In this he was stated to have been born in Leeville, Ontario. It is presumably named after Christopher Lee but until Ken mentions a sister town of Cushingville, this my own guessing. In a later story, Ken is said to have been born in Casablanca, Morocco. Further more his father it stated to have been born in 1942 in a later story so maybe there is a reference to the film Casablanca going on? Until the name of his dad is revealed to be Humphrey or Rick or something else entirely, i am just going to guess. Besides that, this story is the only one in the Ken Finlayson series that features Ken's journal with some chapters being entries from that journal.
Then we have Ken's adventures such as going to the house of a "Crazy Snake Man", obvious Friends reference, and having the Phoenician god Moloch haunting his family because an ancestor accidentally called summoned him when trying to summon some Irish god or something. No, really. This is a weird but good story but my one complaint would have to be Moloch as a starter villain. I mean come on! Who uses some dark and hungry god as the starter villain? He should have been the Big Bad for the whole series of fan fics!
Bottom line: Its good, its crazy but Crazy Snake Man should have been the starter villain and Moloch should have been a big bad.
