To be clear, I am not extolling this fic without reason.
Initially, this story might make readers groan and roll their eyes. "Oh, look, another Timetravel!Badass!Luffy. He's going to kick ass, get the girls, blah blah blah."
BITE YOUR TONGUE! This... this fic is *nothing* like that.
How so? Simple. Mary Sues and such are awful because they hog the spotlight, steal attention from other characters and make it all about them.
New Game Plus, however, circumvents this via a simple, yet elegant, answer: Shine the spotlight on *everyone*.
This fic makes sure that characters remain squarely in character so that they're believable, while simultaneously making you want to cheer your ass off. From the Strawhats and moving on to many, many others, some who you wouldn't even believe, this story manages to hit just the right notes for a reader's pallate.
It's filled with side-splitting laughs, jaw-dropping 'holy-shit' moments, and so much more.
Simply put... it's what every Mary Sue fanfic writer aspires to write.
FanficRecs THIS is how you write a badass, people!
