Synopsis

Perry Z has a Magical Destiny.

Born to a Magical Fantasy Princess and a nine-to-five Supervillain, Perry’s never felt…adequate. He’s completely magically dull, and without a scrap of superpowers.

When The System boots, he’s forced to follow in his father’s footsteps, but he’d rather take after his mother.

Maybe there’s a way he can do both…

Fluff

RavensDagger

Every year, on the same day, people across the world awaken new powers. They take the first step on the path to becoming Super Heroes... or Villains.

Emily Wright wants nothing to do with any of that. All she wants is to get her degree and maybe learn to deal with her anxiety so that she can have an entire conversation with a stranger without panicking.

She did not plan to awaken with the power to summon little sisters, or to learn that she’s been marked as a Villain. Will she be able to turn things around, or will she drown in a sea of super villainy and cuddles?

Argentorum

How I learned to stop worrying and solve my problems with demons until demons stopped solving my problems.

A snarky villain and her heroic nemesis blow themselves up and land on a fantasy world. They find themselves faced with two prospects: learn to cooperate and respect someone they've fought against for years, or be swept away by the powers that be.

Because Pride always comes before the fall.

Dylan is your average nerd. He works downtown for an architecture firm during the day and enjoys all manner of games and media in his spare time. But while Dylan likes all forms of sci-fi and fantasy, he really likes the genre of superheroes.

So when an indie company releases a virtual reality MMO where players choose to play as heroes or villains, Dylan immediately buys into it. He has a specific type of character he really enjoys watching, something that always makes his inner child laugh in delight. The Saturday morning cartoon villain.

Yes, those inept, bungling, yet highly dangerous villains found in so many of Dylan's cartoons as a child. He loves how they always come up with strange ways to conquer the world and how they get thwarted every weekend. He remembered laughing at every silly antic, every cliched shout of "Curses! Foiled again!" He loves it so much he decides to take this idea into the MMO.

But to grab a playerbase, the company has announced a promotion that players with a high enough reputation can get contacted to become permanent raid bosses in the game. Those chosen will be paid as if employees of the company. Serious players all hoping to live the dream of playing videogames all day rush to purchase copies of World of Supers!

What will happen when Dylan, someone playing the game for fun, clashes with these overly serious players?

Nobody’s Hero [System Apocalypse LitRPG Progression Fantasy]

There's one firm rule in Central City: everyone dies.

Super strength, invulnerability, regeneration, everything else is on the table. Everything except immortality. After all, if anyone was immortal, then Alpha, the completely-legitimately-elected dictator for life of Central City, could absorb their skill and become dictator for forever.

It's a good thing no one is immortal, then.

Especially not Levi.

Similar vibes to The Boys, Perfect Run, and Astro City, a satirical dark superhero story with a LitRPG twist!

Something is really, really wrong with the world.

Beyond the eldritch horror encroaching from beyond and the invasive species of man-eating aliens, something about the Federation of Man just isn't right.

Superheroes aren't much of heroes anymore, and super villains... well, they just aren't super. Sure, they have the power to tangle with the best of them, but where's the pizzazz! Where's the I.T factor?

The Federation of Man is desperately lacking a proper supervillain.

Luckily for them, there might just be one on the rise.

Luke was fine with being a cashier, watching Villainy be made a mockery of by amateurs.

But after being robbed, electrocuted, robbed, beaten and then robbed again all in the same week some screws might've gotten knocked loose. Because the state of Villainy is not fine, and Luke's bored, crazy and stupid enough to believe he can change it.

And apparently, some mystic jackass named the Architect thinks so too, planting a system on Luke that only wants one thing from him.

Evil... done right!

**********

What to expect:

Super Villain System is an action-packed Superhero LitRPG set in a post-apocalyptic world with a semi-dystopian dynamic and a whole bunch of chaos to be had. The MC is a bit crazy but endearing and I hope you all enjoy the neat side characters who pepper Luke's adventure to the top!

Includes:

Weak-strong MC

Futuristic and Apocalyptic Superhero world

Wild superpowers

A villainous lead who is maybe not downright evil but definitely morally questionable

A whole bunch of mystery about the world as a whole and the superpowers that run it

Chapter length:

Ranges from 4-6k

Schedule is MWF for Australians which will probably be a day before for most of you.

Somebody Stop Her

Vitaly S Alexius

This book is now on Kindle!

In the sleepy town of Saint Mary, the Kilborne superhero family's new neighbors are more than just odd—they're supervillains! School would be a breeze for Martin Kilborne if it weren't for Alexa Terranova, his raygun-toting classmate who recruited him as her minion. Martin becomes quickly tangled in Alexa's supervillain plots from stealing an ice cream van, to destroying the Superstate, to bewildering time-travel escapades leaping between his Earth and a dead world 400 years in the future. When Martin is awakened from mundane existence by Alexa, his life transforms from mundane to madcap—an ever accelerating train ride with no breaks, packed with adventure, dark comedy and post-apocalyptic, cosmic horror!

The battle against the Kobar Empire was utterly lost, and I lay dying when a strange blue screen appeared.

[ You have been identified as having the aptitude needed to be a Player. Would you like to reset the game and try again? ]

"A game?"

I laughed. Blood spilled out of my mouth and ran down my neck.

"I don't know if this is some weird near-death hallucination… but if I have a chance to reset everything and save everyone I cared about… of course, I damn well accept."

[ Reset in progress. ]

[ Beginning Round 2. ]

** If you're looking for a story with a MC who starts out very strong or very clever, this ain't it. Luca is neither. Luca is weak AF and... an idiot.

** Luca will also die. A lot. It's a time-loop story. But with enough game resets (ahem, deaths), Luca will learn and grow, so there's hope for him yet.

** This is a slow-burning and character-driven novel. It's also going to be long.
