Fanfic 2 Read: Super Sentai Academia

Fanfic 2 Read is a section where I recommend any of you fanfictions lover a story to read. And my first post is about Super Sentai Academia by Captain redryuranger11.

                                                        Kind of like this, but with schools and additional rangers and space colony...

It's about years after Super Sentai as the world is now in apocalypse and an academy trains the new generation of Super Sentai to fight monsters.

What I like about this story is how the author dedicated in this. Redryuranger11 is known for his work, Elemental Sentai Kodenrager. The fics are put into Mary Sue list as the protagonist, who used to be the author's favourite (since the name Ryu is used up a lot) ended up called as Mary Sue character. He gets all the girls and everyone likes him. He is supposed to be a weakling but suddenly become a hero.

That causes the author to suffer a breakdown. Ryu become his most hated character. He backs with re-write of the same fic, but failed to continue for some reason. Maybe because he still hate Ryu.

It is surprised to see the difference of the first Elemental Sentai Kodenranger and Super Sentai Academia in story telling. While Kodenranger is like a comedy sitcom, Academia is focus a lot in the plot.

Th unique of this fic is that the author use a method where only some fics used it; character submission. You can submit your own original character into the story, just make sure you follow the rule given. There is also Fake Rangers Submission, where you can create your own ranger powers. Be sure to discuss about your characters first with the author before submitting it. If you just submit like that, he will ban the fake rangers submission on everyone until you get it right. I once suffered from it.

You can also submit your own monsters in a forum provided. Of course, your monster will get destroyed by the rangers...

The author is so dedicated, that in my list of fanfiction subscribe, he is the fastest one to post a new chapter. And it is always fun reading it, especially when your character appear in the chapter.

I give Super Sentai Academia:-
