Never read that either. Is it like Time Braid?
Time Braid is far, far better than Chunin Exam Day. For many reasons, including not being written by a sociopath.
Time Braid is what Chunin Exam Day could have been without a Harem and with a more convincing polyamorous shipping. Its a much better and less drawn out story, for instance there are many other complete AU remakes that go as long and as deeply as HPMOR. However, HPMOR doesn't have the vast amount of fluff and filler that many of the 6/7 multipart fics seem to have(barring SA which I enjoyed greatly).
SA?
Self-Actualization.
The difference is primarily one of quality. Time Braid is excellent, provided one is willing to accept the rewritten cosmology, while Chunin Exam Day is pretty much universally considered to be refuse.
I'm still not sure what specifically is wrong with PKH. The first chapter looks interesting so far...
I actually found it fairly enjoyable as well for the first few chapters. I didn't realize how much I hated it until I came to <rot13>Qhzoyrqber'f guvegrragu Ubepehk</rot13>.
Of course, the mere existence of that spoiler may make you want to read more just to find out how on earth such a thing could happen.
Good prediction.
Out of curiosity, what's your current opinion on the story?
Tried to stick with it, got bored shortly after they met a Fairy Queen or something.
