      I read the first 15 or so chapters, then stopped because Harry was just a completely insufferable Mary Sue. I see a lot of people praising for the ideas behind it but the actual writing itself is pretty bad.

        I’m not sure Mary Sue is the right trope. Although half the point is highlighting all the pointless stupidity of the original, so it’s hard not to come across as condescending.

        It’s dunking on basically the entire wizarding world being paste-eating levels of stupid in the original, as well as lampooning cringey fan-fiction. I think you might have missed an element of self-awareness.
