Review: The story's about a typical magus from an established Fate family getting inserted into the Harry Potter world.
I've only read the first 15 chapters, but so far, it's great. The highlights are the integration of Fate magic into Harry Potter and the logical explanations for it. The main character's also interesting.
For those familiar with Fate/Zero, the MC is Kayneth Archibald, one of the antagonists from the anime's second season. For those unfamiliar, the character is a petty, arrogant, and selfish nobleman who is immensely proud of his ancestry and the Archibald family. He sees himself as a proper magus and nobleman, with his own code of chivalry.
The twist? Kayneth "reincarnates" as a piss-poor muggleborn orphan and has to rise from the bottom.
Another plus I rarely see in this kind of fanfiction is that Harry Potter magic isn't just a shittier version of Fate's. It's a different magical discipline with its own merits. The philosophy and methodology behind it are polar opposites to the Fate magic system, so it's intriguing to see how Kayneth tries to learn and combine them with his own skills.
