I'm a sucker for "characters react to their show" fics, and this is one of the best I've ever read. It's full of humour, with a bit of plot on the side, and gives a lot of flavour to the nameless student extras in the Main Campus. It's truly hilarious to see Class A gradually become more and more eccentric through forced proximity to Class E, and seeing everyone react to Nagisa being badass is incredibly satisfying.
However, it's not without it's faults. The huge number of typos makes me want to cry, a little—the author often mistakes one word for another, and the meaning of the sentence gets scrambled in the process, which makes reading over it thrice a necessity if you want to glean the meaning out.
Besides the typos, some parts also feel a bit sloppy—the author mainly follows the anime's English dub, and I love that the author also added characterisation segments that the anime skipped over, but it's weird that they added Maehara and Sugaya's but not Kataoka's. The author also drops Karma's use of Nagisa-kun only to say, when it became an important plot point, that it was because laziness and for the readers to pretend it was there all along, and the advice Koro-sensei gave Karma about laying his knife of pride at his feet doesn't have any payoff, unlike in the manga.
I'm writing this review here because barging into the author's emails with unsolicited criticism would be rude, but I honestly do recommend this fic, even if there are parts that I don't like so much. To finish a fic over the 700,000 word mark is truly admirable, even if most of it is transcript, and in the end there were more moments I liked than those I disliked.
