comment
Parasite Code is an ongoing Web Serial Novel began in 2022 by S. P. Tucker, and a Pastiche (slash Reconstruction) of shonen fighting series.Ava Hidalgo is a perfectly normal sixteen-year-old girl: she's five foot four, a hundred and thirty pounds, and really, really loves getting in fistfights with boys who are bigger than her. One day, after getting suspended from school and befriending a stray cat, she gets stung by a genetically-engineered parasite and introduced to a world of danger and adventure unlike anything she's ever known.Parasite Code (or ParaCode as the author sometimes refers to it in shorthand) received daily updates at roughly midnight CST on Royal Road (here), before going on Series Hiatus in October 2022.

Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Ava puts up an abrasive, violent front, and is indisputably a massive Blood Knight, but when the chips are down, she almost always does the right thing for the people she cares about.

 Parasite Code / int_4f4372e9
comment
Early-Installment Weirdness: The first five chapters are fairly rough compared to the material past that point, and per Word of God are going to be rewritten in the future. Ava is a much more blatant Expy of Yusuke Urameshi in the early chapters. Ava's attitude towards violence and death is extremely inconsistent at first.

Spicy Latina: Downplayed with Ava; by simple way of being a Latina and an Anti-Hero Blood Knight, she fits the trope somewhat, but it's explicitly at least partially a facade.

Joke and Receive: Ava attempts to fill time in the Parasite Tournament, when her first opponent decides to be fashionably late, by cutting a promo... that's lifted directly from Hulk Hogan, complete with copious Lampshade Hanging. Cue "Real American" and Wolf Rogan running in.

comment
What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?: Discussed between Ava and Mr. Johnson, when parasite evolution comes up; the latter mentions a shapeshifter whose parasite evolved to only allow him to transform into a literal Trumplica. Immediately subverted, as the character involved immediately turned it into a lucrative con scheme in the Bible Belt.

Expy Coexistence: During the Wolf Rogan fight, Ava and Sam both explicitly compare him to Hulk Hogan and express familiarity with the latter. Rubberman, similarly, draws direct comparison to Luffy and Mr. Fantastic from Ava, and One Piece is explicitly mentioned as being on television in a later chapter.
