His method of creating superheroes is deeply personal; Ragib typically envisions them directly in his imagination. This unique approach is reflected in his specific writing style. His chosen genres include Superhero Fiction, Thriller, Revenge Thriller, High-fantasy, Bengali Classic horror, and Urban Horror, highlighting his versatility.

His decision in 2013 to specialize in thrillers marked the true beginning of the Bangladesh Superhero Universe (BDSU), a significant milestone.

Notably, the BDSU has been acknowledged on various online research sites. It also benefits from a vibrant wiki community, accessible in both English and Bengali, illustrating its reach and impact.
