''Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-VOC'' is the most favorited ''Anime/YuGiOhArcV'' fanfiction on the site with 71 chapters (with 401,840 words), and of October 4th, 2017 has 1,833 reviews, 305 favorites and 294 follows. The story is also notable as it manages to avoid the common pitfalls of self-insert fics, as well as fleshing out many original characters, adding new legacy characters and plotlines. As opposed to just throwing an Author Avatar into a rehash of the anime, new plots are added, the new legacy are characters are well developed and some elements left alone in the anime are explored in great depth.
