Fandom #40: Boku no Hero Academia
Nov. 5th, 2017 08:20 amThe world-building is great - a universe in which people have been developing Quirks, which are essentially mutations, for a few generations and so have been changing society at the same time - and there are some very talented authors working in the fandom. It's a young fandom, so many of the recommendations are WIPs. Quick note: I find Bakugou Katsuki to be somewhat but not deeply problematic (I prefer fics where he gets some character growth and stops being 100% a dick - which I hear is happening canonically as well, so it's not OC for him to change) so there are a few stories about him in this list, and like much of Western fandom I prefer not to read the canonical version of Mineta Minoru (although I don't read bash!fic).
LAST UPDATED: 6/19/20. The cracks in the canon world-building are yawning wider now, although it's hard to tell whether the manga-ka intended Japan-with-Quirks to have dystopia implications. Also, BnHA is becoming less of a deconstruction of shounen than a typical example of one (with the attendant problems regarding female characters). I may be ditching canon soon, but keeping up with WIP fics. EDIT 12/27/22: I've lost patience for most WIPs, as they haven't updated in years. I'm keeping only the ones I like well enough even if they're never finished.
( It's fine now. Why? Because I am here )
