In a world full of super powers, Felix had a pretty crappy one.
He has the ability to modify any item he owns. To upgrade anything.
Sounds great on paper. Almost like a video game.
Except that the amount of power it takes to actually change, modify, or upgrade anything worthwhile is beyond his abilities.
At least, that was until Felix leveraged a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to give himself a great deal of points.
Investing in Super Heroes and Super Villains and owning them. Using them, Felix built up an empire.
An organization by the name of Legion.
Felix got what he wanted.
He pushed, pulled, fought, and dug his way through the world to get Legion, or more accurately, the Association, to the fore-front of the world's politics.
In doing so, he lost something he couldn't afford to.
Andrea Elex had been lost in the final moments of everything coming together.
Now Ryker and Runner have come calling to get those favors repaid he promised them, except he only has one thing on his mind. Getting Andrea back and as soon as possible.
Fighting against Zeus with the Overgod and the Architect, finishing his business with the Guild of Heroes and League of Villains, pushing the Association and the Legion to the pinnacle of power.
All of those things were on his to do list, but to Felix there was only one real answer.
Andrea First.

I do it to myself, I know. Reading these is so painful it hurts. I kept reading all the various series for the Runner-verse tie-ins, hoping something cool would happen. It happened in the beginning of this book, and it wasn't cool. It was confusing, made no sense, and was essentially just an exercise in throwing as many characters from the different series into a pile as possible. And then it was over, and I had 80% of the book left.
This has always been my favorite of the series because of the extremely thin superhero theme and the main character's powers, but none of that matters anymore, and instead I'm left with what passes for dialogue now from this author. It used to be somewhat ok, with my only big gripe being that thing he does where someone is talking and the MC literally just zones them out and we only get to hear the tail end of it because if it wasn't important to him, it isn't important to us I guess. Then the books got overloaded with “I mean...” every page or two, which was absolutely horrible and made me feel that physical violence might be the only remedy, and now I get this crap, an actual line of dialogue copied verbatim:
“I-you-yeah! Sure! Yes!”
That might be tolerable if it only happened a couple of times to show being flustered, embarrassed, caught by surprise, etc. Except it happens approximately 400 times in just this one book. Every single female character, which is everyone but the MC in this book in case you weren't aware, is SO flustered and unable to hide their feelings and emotions and lust and ga-ga over the MC that they are constantly speaking just like that snippet above. It becomes exhausting having it forced upon us that they are breathless and surprised and overcome with emotions for this literal god of a man. While I am thankful that Kindle Unlimited must get the sanitized versions now (maybe people pay for the adolescent fantasy versions on Patreon or something?), it makes me think of the number of panties that would be ruined if this world really existed, because every single female that meets the MC immediately gets flustered and can't speak in complete sentences.
You know, it used to frustrate me that stuff like Twilight sold so well with female audiences. I read those books to see why they were so popular, and I crapped all over them at the time. I take it all back. I can't imagine these books do very well with the female crowd, so there must be a subset of males that just eat them up and give them 5* reviews. Yes, I'm guilty for reading them too, and giving the author whatever KU money my reading generates, but at least I realize they are trash. Twilight is mf'ing War and Peace compared to these books. I'm sorry for saying anything bad about Twilight. If I were strapped down Clockwork Orange style and forced to listen to an audiobook over and over, I'd choose Twilight over anything this author has written any day. May God have mercy on my soul.
