Through 'Naibed', he has presented a combination of thematic diversity, stylistic innovation, and human emotion in storytelling. His ability to express complex subjects like science, artificial intelligence, love, family, poverty, superstition, epidemics, foreign employment, and psychology in simple, fluent, and effective language is commendable.

His creative courage in particularly bringing the conflict between contemporary technology and human relationships into stories is noteworthy. Character psychology, unexpected endings, and a subtle insight into social realities have given Rizal a distinct identity. His literary potential appears bright among the new generation of Nepali stories.
