Gary Stu ahoy - to be forewarned is to be forarmed

Fate's Gamble is just another "protagonist becomes super-special-awesome butterfly with amazing power and a huge harem" fanfic without any sense of satire on such unironic chauvinist powertrips.

For example, Harry possesses not one, but TWO REALITY MARBLES. Unlimited Blade Works, and Yumizuka Satsuki's Depletion Garden. TWO. REALITY. MARBLES. If those aren't buzzwords of low quality, then who knows what is.

Additionally, "Harry's" "Archerko (Illya)" complains about Shirou treating her like a sister rather than a woman, which "Harry" apparently does. This is just one complaint among many that I have seen from skimming over the fic.

Altrouge is treated like a lonely girl in need of a friend and "Harry" tells her all about his miserable life with the Dursley's - befriending her. That is terrible characterization for Altrouge. Altrouge and Arcueid act like friends to each other and Primate Murder is female for no reason other than to be another female in "Harry's" harem.

Bazett is "Harry's" combat instructor. Len becomes "Harry's" familiar. It seems Tsukihime is thrown out the door completely for no other reason but to make "Harry" have a larger harem.

"Harry" has Tracing/Gradation Air for no good reason.

"Pluto" is described as a symbol of sadism and power. No. Hades/Pluto is the nicest of his four siblings.

Perseus is turned into a "Draco Malfoy" for no good reason.
