I might have gotten the wrong impression by reading The Wind Calamity for so long, but I don not believe the world of Naruto is so simple as Issac is making it seem. The book is written masterfully, just like the author 's other books, but it feels weirdly... soulless. I have reached chapter 15 and I can't go on anymore due to the sheer impossibility of Issac's techniques and the way he not only masters them but improves them at such speed that it seems simply impossible. It begins to feel like a well-written crack-fic where the main character is so absurdly smart and overpowered that nothing would end up challenging him. This might change in later chapters, but up until now the only thing I saw was Issac calling himself worthless while reaching maybe beyond Kage level strength in 4? Or so years, while also mostly taking over the Land of Fire from the shadows. Another thing that annoyed me was the slight decrease in mental capacity when the author describes figures like Hiruzen, council members and especially Danzo but that isn't something that can be argued agains since the dude wasn't the sharpest tool in the kit even in the original. All in all, a good description of what would happen if a monstrously-tallented tryharder would play a game on easy mode. (At least till chapter 15) Good book, much better than most Naruto fics, but not for me.
