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? Collapse Comedic Undertone, Crime, Evil Protagonist, Game Elements, Game Ranking System, Gamers, LitRPG, Special Abilities, Virtual Reality, Modern Day Don't come into this looking for something exceptionally serious but if you want fun, and can ignore some small issues, give it a shot. I've listened to the audiobook of this series as well, and I can say it kept me going for hours on end. Try viewing this from the angle of enjoying the MC's antics, his roleplay, all of it. It's a hell of a lot of fun that way. You can even make and think up gadgets that Zlo may make, and who knows, maybe you'll have the same crazy ideas as the MC!Characters are well written, and it largely glosses over the real life aspects of the world, giving us just enough information to see how Dylan supports his lifestyle or providing a quick and plausible way to show a timeskip. Most of the time is spent in VR/In-game which I appreciate. World building provides some decent background to how the world works, etc. Progression isn't overly slow but doesn't blaze past so you can keep up without getting bored.Let me know how you find it. Шедевральное произведение. Не понимаю тех кто занижает баллы. Наверное это технодрочеры, которым важно чтобы автор был в курсе последних теорий разработок в VR сфере, не меньше. Потому что если игнорировать технические вопросы, сама история и герои отличные!Шикарный юмор и повороты сюжета, которые поставлены как надо и дают возможность реализовать безумно весёлые идеи злодейств. Никаких читов и никаких клише, кроме тех что задуманы главным героем, как часть злодейского плана!10 злых гениев из 10. This novel is a good example of a vr novel, very realistic and even though it's only a vr it has real life effect not like other vr novel that money would flow like a hose, this novel would actually gave us a reasonable depiction on how vr games can affect real life The thing that really hooked me was the side characters, even the first minion Roosevelt, got me to crack up! It felt like a homage to Stay-Puft from Ghostbusters...and the Jaques...the minion interaction was just phenomenal. Is this a novel dedicated to MF DOOM? I mean he is the one behind Vaudeville villain, with vilain like Viktor vaughn Could be? Dr. Doom was a staple bad guy / Mad scientist, but the MC does stereotype his villian between the lovable goofy interaction with henchmen, and the plans that fail have more back up plans! Do you guys know Korean novels where the MC has Coins that can turn into any weapon and the mc has an ex or sss level job or skill "I got an SSS-Grade unique skill" is probably what you're looking for Thanks mate no prob Could you help me find this novel. I read a novel where the protagonist starts by getting an ad for a virtual reality game that you level up by doing lustful things, plus he participates in a public gacha and gets a conscious AI. He also calls his cousin to play with him in this game, they end up going to a village where they stay in the house of a lumberjack who has a wheelchair-bound wife, if you can tell me the name of this novel I would appreciate it. Had great hopes for this. But it got phenomenally stupid really fast. Sounds awesome. Mmo novels are a whole thing. but i can not for the life of me, read one. What I especially like about this novel is that the author can actually write dialogue. Normally when I read webnovels, the "Sixteen-thousand year old Grand Dragon of the Azure Plains" sounds and talks the same as Joe from accounting or the grandma down the street. In this novel however, you can actually see the differences in speech patterns and accents. There's characters with southern accents, another character has one from New York, the beggar on the street actually talks like a beggar and not like the CEO of a fortune 500. Characters have catchphrases, they have banter with each other; they have so much personality that you can hear the inflections in their voice as they talk.
