I read it last year and it reads like a glorified Japanese light novel or a US fanfiction. I enjoyed reading it but it's not something I'll remember too much about or read it again.

Maybe because I was exposed to something similar full of geeky references, pop culture, music, games and films back in the days when the internet was mere HTML text and you could only get subbed anime in VHS tapes. It was the very first "I write myself as the hero in my favorite show" Mary-Sue type stories/fiction that I was truly impressed with.

If you browse through the links you'll see the sheer enormous volumes of works the series have grown into spanning what, nearly 20 years now.

"Hi," said Ben's mom.  She grabbed her son by the sleeve, dragged him closer, and whispered, "Who is this?"
"I told you," Ben replied, pulling himself away.  "This is Kei.  She's coming home with us."
"," replied Anne, speechless.
