Summary

Immortality is on the line. So are his foes! Choo-choo, heroes.

Dylan is an average nerdy worker. By day, he works for an architecture firm. When his shift ends, he consumes all manner of superhero fiction—comics, books, or games. When an up-and-coming gaming company, Vert, announces a new superhero game—a game that promises infinite choice—Dylan is immediately ready to dive in. He has the perfect role in mind for himself: the egotistical supervillain from cartoons.

Vert is more ambitious than anyone knew. As launch day for their new MMO World of Supers looms, they announce that if players do something really over-the-top, they can become a permanent raid boss inside the game. Now Dylan’s antics will be pitted against streamers bent on immortalizing themselves in the gaming world.

When everyone else takes the game seriously, it’s only the casuals who have fun.

Supervillains have the most fun!

This is a light hearted, fun story. Not deep or anything, but fun. It's nice to see a VR/full immersion gaming novel feature a player who is out to have fun, and not be a top ranker or make money (or revenge, or whatever). Dylan is an entertaining protagonist, and the fun that he has playing Dr Zlo comes across really well.

Audio: the narrator has an awesome evil laugh (very important in this story) and it's well read. The problem I had was following some of the recipes, stats changes and other bits and bobs. I picked up the kindle version and it seems I totally missed that the swearing was being censored in the audio version. Understandable, but I think this is one where it works better written than spoken
