This is a pretty fun entry in to LitRPG, and it’s nice to see an entry into the super-beings type genre. The MC can get a little whiny at times, but I suppose that’s arguably in-chracter since he is young. However, there are some gaping plot holes you have to overlook, and that can be difficult if you are paying attention. They are obviously there to progress the story, but they don’t really make any sense and they aren’t subtle.

For example, the MC spends the first part of the book obsessing over his power armor. This is the foundation of his superhero abilities. Later, at one point, he is knocked from his armor. In the next scene, he is eating pizza with his parents, and then after that is in his lair. It’s not explained how he gets about, and no one(especially his parents, his dad in particular) asks about the absence of his armor or what happened to it after, and he doesn’t remember that he’s left the armor where ever it fell until he’s back in his lair. It’s needed to make a particular plot line happen, but really, the first thing he did wasn’t retrieve his power armor? This would be like Iron Man forgetting he left a suit of his armor laying around out on the street. It just doesn’t make any sense that would happen, no matter how distracted he is at the time.

So you have to be able to overlook some weakness in the plotting like that, or not notice (rather glaring) details like that. Otherwise it’s fun and imaginative, a bit of a popcorn listen, turn your brain off to enjoy. I’ll likely pick up a second book. The performances are good, with just the right amount of effects applied to the narrators voices to contribute, without being distracting. Oh, for DCC fans- you will recognize Jeff Hays doing one of the voices as one he also used in DCC.
