I read the first 15 or so chapters, then stopped because Harry was just a completely insufferable Mary Sue. I see a lot of people praising for the ideas behind it but the actual writing itself is pretty bad.

I'm not sure Mary Sue is the right trope. Although half the point is highlighting all the pointless stupidity of the original, so it's hard not to come across as condescending.
