It's a surprisingly fun read. Enjoyable to watch this guy gradually infect these violent and prideful people with his chilled out vibe. At first they only play the games for the benefits they give but over time you can tell that they genuinely start enjoying them.

Best fanfic I've seen on this site by far. There's only one or two that can compete at all. Everyone feels really in character and the slow pacing really lets characters develop naturally instead of just skipping from fight scene to fight scenes. I'm really looking forward to more.

Everything about this story is pretty great. It's easily one of the best fanfics I've seen on this site. I like how Tai Lung is portrayed as still kind of vicious and villainous despite trying to be a better person. And his main motivation is a lot more vain than just wanting to help people. But at the same time you still feel for him because he really didn't do anything bad enough to deserve being paralyzed for 20 years. But the story also doesn't portray any of those who think badly of him as total assholes either. There's a surprising amount of nuance here that you wouldn't expect from a fanfic. Tied with Traces of Spring for my favorite Kung Fu Panda story.

I want to like this but there's such a thing as too much wish fulfillment. Like it feels like this guy just has infinite wishes and is super proud despite never actually doing anything for himself. He doesn't even draw the manga he's copying himself. He wished for the power to just spawn it with a devil fruit that has no drawbacks. I mean I can enjoy wish fulfillment insert stories sometimes but this guy isn't even willing to put a trace of effort into what he specifically wanted to do in this world. He's also got high combat abilities and connections to Roger's crew and his "system" is more like a fairy godmother that grants his wishes instead of rewarding effort. Honestly I kind of want to skip through the parts with the mc and just read people's reactions to the story because that is still kind of interesting but so far the vast majority of the story is the MC doing things with ease and patting himself on the back about his 'accomplishments' despite literally everything being handed to him. And reading the reviews makes it seem like that isn't going to change...
