Initial review: What I enjoy: Coyote has a fun Quirk. The initial friendship between him and Izuku was heartwarming. I was really invested in it, which is surprising since I'm usually meh towards OCs. Although I disagree with what led to it, the twist of 1-A dropping out because of Aizawa is shocking. It's cool to see 1-A and B in the same class.
Update: I have now dropped this fic. It has become nothing more than a diatribe that bashes anything in canon that the author- I mean, Izuku and Coyote don't agree with. Those two have become unbearably artificial and pompous. It's like the author hates the canon material. The final straws for me were the instances of homophobia, racism, and continuous mightier-than-thou attitudes from the characters we're supposed to support. I feel more sympathy and empathy for their "enemies".
Disappointing. (Spoilers for Chapters 1 to 4)

What I don't enjoy: Aizawa is completely Ron the Death Eatered with an entire chapter dedicated to characters telling him he's awful. The fic also falls into the fanfic clichés of "If you disagree with the MC, you are an irredeemably bad person and must be humiliated/punished." and "Izuku is so smart he blows everyone's minds by telling them how to better use their Quirks, even people far his senior who should know how their Quirks work after decades of using them". Most egregious example: the author changed how Momo's Quirk works so Izuku can tell her she's wrong.

Final verdict: Skip it, especially if you dislike stories with a major OC or like any character that ever disagrees with or inconveniences Izuku (for they are Evil and must be punished for daring to be mean to precious Izuku).
I'm really disappointed but in hindsight, I should have seen the warning signs.
