Writing Style of Psychid

Psychid's writing style in this story is rather unique. He combines his own humor with the same kind of humor seen in the user-acclaimed Yu-Gi-Oh: The Abridged Series. To support this, Ezekiel and Harold are parodies of Beavis and Butt-head, respectively (similar to Weevil Underwood and Rex Raptor, respectively). He even makes Sayer a parody of Coiffio from Perfect Hair Forever. Some pop culture references are even included throughout the story.

However, this story was notorious for its use of insult comedy, and has received some flames from some users, more specifically PhenomsServant. His insulting behavior eventually resulted in him getting blocked by both Dueler King and Psychid.

Reception

This story received mixed to positive reviews. It has 141 reviews total, currently making this Dueler King's story to have the most reviews. It was especially adored by cutelittledizzymae, a user familiar with both the Total Drama and Yu-Gi-Oh! franchises, and a personal friend of Psychid.

Controversial Chapters

As written above, this story was often times controversial due to its use of insult comedy. The controversial chapters are as followed:

Chapter Four: Battle of the Rivals

Controversy began in this chapter. One of the scenes before Duncan's duel against Harold shows him talking to Gwen, suggesting that they are really dating. This resulted in getting an angry review from PhenomsServant (an anti-DxG supporter), who is disgusted by the fact that Dueler King supports this couple. Following the next chapter, Psychid made an apology for not warning anyone about this relationship, as well as mentioning another one of his friends, Freehugs41, in a bad way.

Chapter Six: Cat Fight

Somewhere in her duel against Courtney, Gwen declares that she has something her opponent "doesn't have". Her opponent assumes it is a fanbase where "most of its members are die-hard, unintelligent, whiny Gwen fanbrats". Gwen surprisingly agrees to Courtney's statement completely. This received an even agrier review from PhenomsServant, calling Psychid an "asshole" for making such a remark. He was, however, relived that Gwen won the match. In a private conversation, cutelittledizzymae also criticized him about Gwen's fanbase, but still considers him a friend.

Chapter Thirteen: Cry for Justice

This was the chapter that featured the duel between Gwen and Cody, in which Cody had won. Gwen's loss resulted in PhenomsServant giving the angriest and most insulting review in which he flips them off. This is the review that resulted in him getting blocked by both Dueler King and Psychid. Psychid himself references this in the following chapter, to which PhenomsServant was also given "eleven nasty spankings and a time-out", a reference to Captain Underpants and the Wrath of the Wicked Wedgie Woman. PhenomsServant further harrassed Dueler King and Psychid once again in a review to HyperForce's Yu-Gi-Oh! Total Drama World, in which he referred to them both as "assholes", and even referring to Duncan as "Duncass". Psychid retaliated to this by having Duncan say to Cody in the seventeenth chapter, "I'll teach you to beat my girlfriend, and then have PhenomsServant call me 'Duncass', as well as call Dueler King and Psychid assholes, when truly he is an even bigger asshole!"

Sequel

At the final chapter, Chris made an announcement for the story's sequel, Total Drama Chronicles, which was written by Dueler King and proofread by Psychid. It was first published on June 29, 2011. However, it was put on hiatus several times, and the story was eventually discontinued and removed in May 2014 after Psychid presumably ended his friendship with Dueler King. However, a different sequel, Total Drama Tournament 2 was published July 14, 2014.
