![]() ![]() On the plus side, Riley is a truer friend to Izuku than Bakugo ever was, so their friendship is heartwarming, even if it has its ups and downs. Since he's the author's main contribution to the story of MHA, and has a large impact on the plot, most of the review will look at him. The fic is essentially a retelling of MHA with an Original Character- Riley Coyote, who hails from America and is Izuku's Childhood Friend. While RH Junior's Coyote stays true to the plot of My Hero Academia, there's a lot of the author's influence in it, and that isn't a good thing. Writing fan fiction generally involves balancing fidelity to canon with adding the author's own touch, thereby creating something that's original but still recognizable as part of the original work's fandom. In short, this fic is just the author smugly waving his finger in front of canon and saying "Well, actually."įanFic My Hero Academia + Original Character = Author Tract The fic doesn't seem to take into account that carrying a lot of possibly unnecessary equipment into combat is not very practical. Also, as previously stated, in Chapter 4, Izuku lectures the rest of his class about how their Quirks "really" work and suggests using a lot of support items so they can be more effective when using them. And charge them money for it, because isn't that heroic? Now, this is something that could easily be used to spread false information about innocent people. For example, Riley and Izuku, due to all of the corrupt teachers they have faced in their lives, have decided to make recordings about any of their potential future teachers' personal information and give them to the other students. The fic also suffers from the author being so utterly convinced that he's in the right that he doesn't seem to stop and consider that maybe he isn't. Also, his complaining about how Japan treats bullying might have been valid if not for the fact that the author is incredibly insensitive regarding other cultures, homosexuality, and gender identity. Riley complaining about things on the grounds of "realism" is also extremely hypocritical to the point of unintentional comedy considering this is a Magical Native American (complete with stereotypical portrayal) with a Toon Physics Quirk named after something from a Dr. This leads to characters like Aizawa and Bakugou being vilified and while there might be some valid points about them, it gets lost when the author mouthpieces get off scot-free for how they treat them (Riley physically assaults Aizawa, his teacher, and faces no repercussions). Basically, it's the kind of fic that exists only so the author can complain about everything they didn't like about the canon work. Chapter 4 consists mostly of Izuku telling everyone else that they don't know about their Quirks as much as he does (even though some of his reasonings are completely inaccurate to canon). He even calls out All Might for supposedly being reckless when he saves Riley and Izuku from the Sludge Villain. This leads to scenes like Riley calling out pro-heroes' handling of the Sludge Villain. ![]() This includes him (and to an extent Izuku Midoryia) telling characters who should know better than them, but don't because the author wills it. This fic centers around the Author Avatar, Riley Coyote who exists primarily to tell the canon characters that they're doing things wrong and that he knows the "correct" way. ![]() is somewhat infamous for his fics (particularly his work in the My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fandom) consisting more of him trying to "fix" canon material or hammering his beliefs as a Conservative Christian.
