From a writing craft angle, pacing is a massive challenge. His character is so big that stories can become all about him overwhelming the narrative. The romance needs room to breathe and develop. I’ve seen so many fics where they’re declaring love by chapter three because the writer is so excited to get to the ‘good stuff,’ but it doesn’t feel earned. A slow build where the reader character gradually chips away at his casual facade works better, but it’s harder to write. Also, integrating canon events smoothly—like, are they set during the Hidden Inventory arc? After Shibuya? That choice drastically changes the tone and requires navigating major plot points without the reader character feeling like an intrusive spectator.
Honestly, a frequent issue is just... voice. Gojo's dialogue is so specific—that mix of teasing, arrogance, and sudden seriousness. When writers give him lines that any generic love interest could say, it falls flat. I'll click off a fic fast if he's just calling the reader 'cute' in a normal way. He'd make it a whole playful bit, you know? Also, the reader insert often feels too passive, just reacting to him. The challenge is making that 'you' character have enough agency and personality to banter back, to actually engage with him, without becoming an obvious OC with a name.
The biggest challenge I see is avoiding repetition. So many plots are just: reader is a student he trains, or a coworker, or gets saved by him. It gets samey. I crave more unique setups—maybe the reader is from a rival clan, or a cursed spirit with a twist, or just a normal person who accidentally sees through Infinity. Something that forces a new dynamic. Otherwise, even with good writing, it all starts to blend together after you’ve read a few dozen.
I notice a lot of these fics struggle with making the power imbalance feel romantic and not just creepy. Gojo’s whole thing is being the strongest, and sometimes writers either neuter that to make him a generic soft boyfriend or lean into it so hard the dynamic becomes patronizing. The reader character ends up either a doormat or a Mary Sue who somehow instantly rivals him, which breaks the setting. The challenge is crafting a relationship where his strength is acknowledged—maybe it's isolating for him, maybe the reader offers a different kind of strength—without sacrificing his canonical arrogance or making the reader powerless. It’s a tightrope walk.
Another huge one is balancing fluff with the inherent darkness of the Jujutsu Kaisen world. You can’t just have them cuddling while ignoring the constant life-or-death stakes. The best fics I’ve read weave that tension in; maybe the reader is a non-sorcerer civilian he’s trying to protect, which creates conflict about his duty versus his feelings. But a common pitfall is dropping the dark elements entirely for pure domestic fluff, which feels oddly divorced from the source material. The tension is the point.

I transmigrated into a dating-sim otome game where I was supposed to romance a soft, fragile male lead. I had finally pushed him onto the bed and was just about to make my move when the long-missing system finally popped back online.
[Host, I sent you to the wrong game. This is a horror game.]
[The man you’re bullying right now is the horror game final boss.]
I lifted my head and met a pair of blood-red eyes staring straight at me.
My smile froze. “Um… you look a little tired. Maybe we should… continue this another day?”
He smiled back, calm and terrifying. “I’m not tired. Go on.”
After transmigrating into a novel, I realized the heroine and I had the exact same name.
Naturally, I thought I had transmigrated into the female lead.
So I marched straight to the man who was still a broke nobody at the time, threw all caution to the wind, and pounced on him like I had plot armor protecting me.
He even glared at me with red eyes and told me he hated me. I honestly thought he was just into the whole push-and-pull thing.
Everything shattered when the real heroine showed up and I finally understood one thing. He actually hated me.
Heartbroken, I packed my bags and got ready to disappear.
The next second, he pinned me against the wall.
"Where are you going? Already bored of me, sweetheart?"
My CEO boyfriend, Dylan Abbott, has a phobia of getting married. Because of that, he sets up a weird rule that requires me to pass all 99 trials set up by his secretary, Lynette Woods, before finally agreeing to marry me.
The first time we're about to get married, I wait for Dylan at the marriage registration department for three hours. But that's when I'm informed that Lynette has lost Dylan's ID, causing our registration to get delayed.
The second time we're about to get married, Lynette happens to be driving around in my car. She stages a brake failure and hits a passerby on purpose. By the time I'm done dealing with the accident and rush to the City Hall with Dylan, it's already closed for the day.
The 98th time we're about to get married, Lynette laces my glass of water with rat poison. Because of that, I'm taken to the hospital immediately to have my stomach pumped out, hence missing out on the marriage registration.
When it's the 99th time for us to get married, I'm under the impression that I've passed Lynette's trials, which means Dylan won't flake out on me anymore.
But I spend the day waiting for Dylan at the City Hall till nightfall. I've spammed so many phone calls and text messages to him, and yet he never shows up.
In the end, I come across a post Lynette has made on her social media feed about her and Dylan being officially married.
"My boss loves me far too much! All I said was that I wanted to get married as well, and he was quick to marry me at the City Hall! I love him so much!"
I just leave a like on the post without losing my temper or kicking up a ruckus.
That's when Dylan calls me on the phone all of a sudden.
"Don't misunderstand the whole thing, Felicia. This marriage is just a joke. Lynette is a graduate hailing from an overseas university. I merely married her because I want her to keep working for my company without any complaints.
"Once the divorce procedures are over, I'll marry you immediately before throwing you the grandest wedding ever, okay?"
What Dylan doesn't know is that I've already signed an agreement with the system. If I can't get married with Dylan in five years, that means I've lost the bet.
My time will be up in three days. By then, I'll get annihilated by the system. There will no longer be a future for me and Dylan.

Alright, let's get into this. The most electric Gojo fanfiction I've seen always starts with consequence. He's the most powerful, right? So the plot needs to break that. I'm talking about a story where, after the events of Shibuya, his Six Eyes are permanently damaged—not gone, but glitching. He sees fractured possibilities, glimpses of futures that never happen, and it makes him fundamentally unreliable for the first time. The plot then becomes about him having to rely on others, maybe a character he previously overlooked, just to function. It turns the 'untouchable' trope on its head. The relationship grows from necessity into something real, because he's literally unable to navigate the world alone anymore.
Another one I love is the 'found family' angle, but with a twist. Instead of Gojo adopting a kid, what if he's magically or cursed-technique-bound to protect someone from his own past—a non-sorcerer relative he never knew existed. The conflict isn't just external threats; it's Gojo confronting his own family's legacy and the cold isolation of the Gojo clan. The reader character becomes his tether to a normal human world he never got to have, forcing him to explain simple emotions he's always brushed aside. The plot works because it forces the invincible to be vulnerable in a way that isn't about physical power, but about emotional history he can't punch his way out of.
The push-pull between Gojo's overpowered, near-godlike status and the visceral, chaotic physicality of the Chainsaw Man universe is a huge source of tension. Authors have to figure out how someone who can casually reshape reality engages with a world where violence is so raw and personal. Does he get bored? Does he find Denji's desperate scrappiness irritating or endearing? That power differential itself breeds conflict—emotional distance versus forced proximity.
Then there's the whole thematic clash of cursed energy versus devil contracts. It's not just magic systems; it's about fundamentally different philosophies of power and sacrifice. Gojo's strength is innate, a birthright. Denji's is a transactional nightmare. Writing them interacting forces a conversation about what power costs, and whether Gojo's casual dominance is a privilege Denji can never comprehend. That misunderstanding, or the dawning realization of it, drives a lot of the quieter, more introspective fics.
And let's be real, the personality mesh is gold. Gojo's performative, flippant arrogance smashing into Denji's blunt, survivalist honesty creates so many opportunities for both comedy and genuine hurt. Denji might call Gojo out on his bullshit in a way no one in Jujutsu society ever does, and Gojo might see in Denji a kind of freedom his role denies him. The emotional conflict is rarely outright hatred; it's more about two vastly different lived experiences grating against each other until something sparks.
