I Am Kamen Rider, Reversing Dimensions

The pacing is too strange. Every ten or so chapters there's a major event, and the protagonist has to pay a price to resolve it. The pace is too fast, there's too little slice-of-life content, and the power levels are odd. In some events in the early and mid-game, only the protagonist can fight, while the other Kamen Riders seem to be just there for show, which is very strange.

After some thought, I decided to leave a review. Let me state upfront that I absolutely love this book; in fact, I'd say it's the best Kamen Rider fanfic I've ever read. However, its flaws are so numerous that they're impossible to ignore or accept. First, it makes the same mistake as many fanfics: using the original characters as mere foils. Almost none of the original characters appearing in the book, whether protagonists or supporting characters, have any significant impact on the plot. It's all the protagonist carrying the show, while everyone else just stands by, cheering and benefiting. At most, they might introduce the protagonist to some basic information about their world, but even that becomes useless once the protagonist can directly access information from Earth's library. Towards the end, the acting completely stopped. All the characters who had helped the protagonist combined their strength to help him, only to have it crumble before the protagonist's cycle of reincarnation, without any resistance or struggle. This made everyone a laughingstock. That's one point. Secondly, the protagonist suffered too much pain and hardship, some of which could be described as being forced to endure pain. Chen happened to open the door while the protagonist was dealing with the data virus, causing it to leak to their side, then go berserk and cause massive casualties. In the end, the protagonist had to clean up the mess, and then he had to endure the insults and disdain of the natives. And right after finishing a battle, he was attacked by Godai and Kiana as if they were enemies, adding insult to injury. What was the point of all this plot? Secondly, and thirdly, it makes the same mistake as other fanfiction: stealing opportunities from the original protagonist. For example, the protagonist travels back in time early in Kamen Rider and kills the True Lord, greatly reducing the growth potential of Thomas and his group. The consequence and backlash is that Thomas doesn't even have a Dragon Knight, let alone the Ten Sacred Blades. Later, when the entire Sacred Blade team travels back to support them, they are wiped out. This overlaps with the first point about using original characters as stepping stones. Fourthly, the author doesn't understand the personalities and settings of the original characters. In the Heisei Final movie, Sento clearly distinguishes between Kamen Rider and the Kaiser System, but the book still refers to it as the Kaiser System. It's Kamen Rider. Daguba's Supernatural Ignition is really just a remote ignition technique; it doesn't have a disintegration function. What makes him as strong as Ultimate Kuuga is his sealing energy as a finishing move. Supernatural Ignition is just a small skill used to crush weaker opponents. Chief Barcos's stats are high enough to overwhelm Heisei Riders, not that his mechanics are designed to counter Heisei Riders. With the protagonist's stats, he could easily defeat Chief Barcos. Transforming into Geiz to fight him is pure suicide. It's clear that the author doesn't understand Showa Riders. V3's personality is as free and easy as the wind, which is a good tribute to Raikou, who is based on V3, rather than the hot-tempered old man. The hot-tempered Showa Rider was a strongman. It's fine to use a reference, but why take it seriously? Fifthly, the author directly copied the usage of certain skills from the encyclopedia, word for word, making it incredibly awkward. For example, the finishing move of the "Old Driver Black Cat Sheriff" form. Sixthly, the author handled some original plot points extremely poorly. In the original story, Kamen Rider 15 committed evil by using Bataan technology to revive his son. Later, with the help of Showa Riders, his son's spirit reconciled with 15 and his wife, ascending to heaven without regret. However, in the book, 15 is directly killed by the protagonist, and his son and wife are nowhere to be found. This family can no longer reconcile or resolve their resentment; the incident is never properly resolved.

You can even see a unique, one-time-only form of the Knights' Den inside! #(Funny)
