The Perfect RunThe Perfect Run by Maxime J. Durand
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I've either read or seen a good number of superhero-type non-M/DC riffs over the years and I *thought* on starting this, I might be at my saturation point.

But then I fell in love with this.

Why?

Oh, QuickSave, my quirky Deadpoolish psychopath who has probably died and reset back to his save point more times than even ME in my RPGs, has a serious mouth with the chops to go with it.

If you like the OP dynamics of Mr. Pool or Carl the Dungeon Crawler, with all the creative and weird twists of both, then you'll love this. And even more: the characters are all fantastic. If you just imagine an R-rated My Hero Academia with enough CULTURE to choke even a fan of Ready Player One, then you've got a good handle on what this has to offer.

Run. Don't walk. Grab this one by Felix the Cat and yell, "Pandaaaaa!"

Personal note:
If anyone reading my reviews might be interested in reading my own SF, I'm going to be open to requests. Just direct message me in goodreads or email me on my site. I'd love to get some eyes on my novels.

Trouble on Paradise by Craig Alanson My rating: 3 of 5 stars Honestly? It was an okay mil-SF from the PoV of those left behind on Paradis...
