Grammar & Spelling: While there are some inconsistencies from time to time, they aren't common and don't detract from the story. The spelling is good, the grammar has spots every eight chapters or so where a person's gender might very temporarily change or where there might be an inconsistency but it's otherwise well done.

Characters: Instead of retreading canon, this AU makes use of original characters and does a good job of it. They have their own motivations and unique abilities, and they don't mindlessly fawn over the MC as is often seen in these kinds of fics. They're not treated as set dressing there to make the MC look good, but as their own people and that's pretty cool.

Plot: As an AU, it seems to make loose use of canon elements without mindless retreading of canon. It has its own plot planned out and isn't just mindless power fantasy wish fulfillment. The MC has some passing knowledge of Naruto, but it's just passing knowledge instead of a wikipedia the way some main characters seem to have. While the Golden Finger he has seems OP, it makes him work for his power and takes a realistic approach to growth instead of having him just smack people around without consequence.

Altogether, this is a Naruto AU with original plot and characters and a MC that has the potential to be OP and the brains to know he's not there yet. It could use a bit of work in grammar, but it's definitely readable as is and most definitely enjoyable.
