Super Sales on Super Heroes: Book 2

I enjoyed Book 1, as the main character's behavior seemed to evolve towards a more open, caring role. I first read it as a Kindle Unlimited, but then bought it to enjoy in the future. I purchased Book 2 on this premise, and am completely sorry I did so.
In Book 2 the main character is revealed to be a sociopathic villain. Not only does he command the murders of innocent people, he is shown to only perform actions to aid himself. The Others he claims to love are being killed daily by Miu, and they ask him to make her stop. As he finds her powers useful, he does nothing. When it is pointed out that he could easily stop the killing, without lessening the help he is getting from Miu, he refuses. The pain and agony the Others go through mean nothing to him, although he "loves" them.

As i was eagerly awaiting the continuation with bated breath, i am glad to say that i was not disappointed! Truly, if youre looking for a fun and interesting story that is also unique and original, then look no further.

I really enjoyed the first book!! It was amazing!! This book here had so much plots and twist... I didn’t even know where it was going!! There was so many shocking points!! I couldn’t stop reading it!! I really hope he continue on with this series cause I am eagerly waiting for the next one to come out!!!

I very much recommend this followup. It keeps in the same line with the characters, but there is still good character development and the MC experiences troubles that seem both plausible and realistic. Great book all in all.

Spoiler

Now if anyone has read the selfless hero series they will see exactly who the “God” is. But i’m glad he’s in the book series and maybe we can see more of him in the 3rd book. Keep going strong William.

This book has the worst scene I've ever encountered anywhere in it. The "bad guy" who has kept her identity and powers hidden for years, flies down out of the sky and FOR NO APPARENT REASON AND IN TWO SENTENCES, announces to the main character who she is, what her power is AND WHAT HER PRIMARY WEAKNESS IS!!!! While that is so incredibly terrible by itself, it is made even worse by the fact that the MC had resources at his disposal and had every reason to find this stuff out for himself so all the author had to do was have the MC actually look into THE ONE PERSON HIS ENTIRE SUCCESS, IF NOT LIFE, WAS DEPENDENT ON.

Additionally, I have now read all the books in this series (at least at this time) and none of them resolve any story lines and each is short. Its like the author reaches 150 pages and just stops writing. Books are supposed to have a beginning, middle AND END- NOT JUST A CESSATION OF WRITING!

I'm partly disgusted by these books because they had such a great concept for the MC's power but these books are just terribly written. I wish I hadn't wasted my time.

The only negative I have is that, while reading it, I knew that this book would eventually come to an end and I’d have to wait a long time to get the third book in the series.

The story was great and the new elements in the story, hinted at in the first book, completely changed the landscape of the series going into the future (in a big way). When I read the first book, I had the thought that the book would make a great movie, and I had the same thought in this one too.

Really, really looking forward to the next book in the series and hope it comes out soon.

Engrossing, fast paced, builds pretty well on book 1 and expands the size of things with a pretty epic ending for Felix. The book does kind of have "how deep does this rabbit hole go" kind of feeling as well with some of the subject matter. Don't get me wrong, it is interesting as heck, but makes me wonder where the story is going as well.

Fun, fast read and I look forward to book 3!

So the first book I really enjoyed the first half and very end. This book was more like the 20% mark, and then the half way. Then the last 70% to the end. There were some stretches of every day legion life that I was like ok speed read through and let's see some fighting and Felix Powers. I got all of that plus some good violent scenes. Very excited to see where the religion stuff goes and Felix's hidden benefactor. Maybe release book 3 sooner.

Although obviously an exploitative power fantasy fiction, the first book was about growth and mastery. The second book is about... already being powerful, and continuing to be powerful. There is no tension and the already paper-thin characters from the first book have no more depth here.

I came across this series while surfing on the store, I wont give anything away, but if you enjoy comics but prefer novels this is for you. in both book one and two I was hooked with in the first chapter. so much so that the fist book I stayed up way to late and would have finished the book if my kindle wouldn't have ran out of juice, I used whisper sync with the first book that two was Amazing ride. I can't wait until the next book comes out.

In the first book, the slavery of super heroes/heroines was acceptable. In this book, a lot of time seemed devoted to apologize for that concept. Maybe I just read too much into it, but whatever. Also the story lines seemed rather fragmented and directionless in this novel. Gods were introduced which ruined the entire premise of the first book in my opinion. I might try to reread it again, but why when I can just pretend the story ended with the first book and the gods were never born.

I’m disappointed in this book. Im going to chalk it up to second book hickups and hope the next one is better. It’s my hope Mr. Arabs will see the slippery slope of evil his main charater is sliding down and give him a hard moment of self reflection. Also maybe real in the yandere stuff a bit. I like yandare and I was cringing at how bad it was.

I enjoyed the first book in this series, despite a few issues regarding character dialogue and an overabundance regarding the trappings of corporate business practices. Unfortunately, this issues still remain. However, those two things aren't the reason why I feel this book is less enjoyable than the first one.

I'm just going to address what might be the elephant in the room: the world leaping. Around halfway through the book, our intrepid villain and his harem/corporation suddenly discover one of them has the ability to create a portal to an entirely different world. Now, I understand we're talking about a fictional universe containing superheroes and villains, but the possibility of this hadn't even been hinted at previously. Not only that, but there was literally no reaction from any character regarding this absolutely amazing feat other than "Meh."

And therein lies a big part of the problem with this book and really the series as a whole: In crafting a story about super-powered beings and mystical races, the author I think unintentionally did something actually quite incredible. He made them uninteresting and verging on boring. It's pretty obvious that this was intended to be a story about the rise and strengthening of a corporation with the concept to super-powered beings being regulated to background ideas, but it just isn't that great of a meshing. Lilly is the perfect example. While we the readers actually aren't given any really good indication regarding what it is she can do, it's clear she is extremely powerful. And yet, she spends around 90% of the time in both books functioning as a lawyer only without using her magic. That just doesn't make any sense.

What also hasn't been cleared up in the slightest is how some of these powers actually work. The physical ones such as strength, speed, etc, are pretty self-explanatory, but the magical ones aren't really explained at all. The concepts of time travel/precognition are thrown into the mix but not really examined beyond a few sentences, Oh, and Gods suddenly appear on this other planet because...aliens? I don't know.

And that's really the big problem throughout this series. I was basically dragged along through both books without any kind of understanding about most of what was happening with the simple reason of: The author likes it this way. I can appreciate an author having his or her own style and writing about subjects or stories they want to write, that is completely his or her prerogative. However, if you're going to create a fictional universe in which there are super-powered beings, mythical races, Gods, alien planets, and so much more, it really is incumbent upon the author to give the reader some kind of explanation or exposition to explain things and not just leave them in the dark.

There really is no sense of time or pacing throughout. It's almost like the books are comprised of a series of cut scenes that might or might not make sense based on what was read in the previous one. We have no idea how much time has passed to know if this empire's progress is impressive or not. We're given very broad strokes about underground lairs being built, above ground headquarters being built, more and more and more people being brought in utilizing some kind of contract (not really explained) to the point this corporation seems like it sound have a hundred thousand people in it and have a honeycomb of tunnels and caverns built beneath the cities. It's just WAY too broad-stroked when it comes to story-telling, like the author didn't really want to deal with those parts of the storyline and plot and just wanted to get to the parts that he actually wanted to write about. I can appreciate that, but by doing it, it just leaves the reader confused.

Clearly, the ending is left open for another book since I have the feeling we're going to be seeing a massive, cataclysmic event taking place on Earth and a rebuilding of society on "Planet Legion". I just hope the author takes what I've offered here and uses it to strengthen his work going forward. The very idea of what he started with back in book 1 was interesting and could have made for a very entertaining read, but if he continues to allow all of these issues to bog down the writing, I'm afraid it will only be more of the same going forward.

A fine book by the author. This story apparently had so much ground to cover that it suffers from the rough edits. Whole chunks of sorry are just missing entirely.
While the story seems to take off when the first one left off, there are just too many unanswered questions.
The pacing is good but the rough nature of the plot makes it harder to understand and accept the choices Felix makes as flowing naturally.
As far as grammar and such there was a single instance of a 'To' where a 'Too' should have been. The author's writing style is excellent and fun too read. (See what I did there?)
Perhaps the author was concerned about getting stuck in Skippercity too long and felt he had to rush us out to the rest of the story. I, for one, would have been content to follow the story at a more thoughtful pace.
I'm also glad for the reduction in salacious material. A good story told well can beat a good story if the author feels need to titillate to sell it.
