    As to the score, I'm only giving a slight ding to the rating (so far, though only seven chapters are out) because the story development is almost entirely just a fanfic version of the first Captain America movie, so I can't give it five stars until I see some real serious departure from the script into a new and unexplored territory. Everything else is exactly where you'd hope it'd be with a fanfic. There are a few small issues I take so far. For instance, I'm not 100% certain if the author has a full grasp on the powers he has shown. Two super powered people: Raven and John (Soldier Boy) have been shown, and both have shown a departure from their baseline canonical abilities. I'll be curious to see if they keep happening, if these were slips, or if the author just intends to make his characters 'vaguely based on' the originals.

    Interesting that people take issue with the shield, and not with the fact that he can overturn a tank without just sinking into the ground. Soldier Boy (and the rest of the cast of the Boys) don't have the support powers of a character like Superman. In the first season, that's the whole thing with Homelander saying he can't just lift the plane because he'd destroy it in the process. I'm curious to see if he has the full 'support power' package, or if this was just a slip up by the author.

    Every blow he delivered sent an enemy soldier flying through the air, his shield adorned with bright colors blocking each bullet with ease, and in a matter of seconds, he reached the enemy tank and With a single kick, the enormous metal vehicle was overturned with a ease Carlo could barely believe.

    As always, I'll try to come up with a plausible explanation for 'the guy with all the coins.' Here's my made up reason: One of the guys robbed a coin-dispenser in a laundromat earlier that evening.

    Bi Xiao has counted them, totaling $2,130 in bills and about $50 in coins.

    It may help, just imagine that this author is plotting Saitama's power as an exponential curve rather than a linear one. Then it starts to be a little less "what is this guy smoking?"

    Although it was just a casual punch, the fact that Arlong could withstand it without dying was indeed unexpected.

    "Well, first of all, they called me Wizard not just because of my looks, but to make fun of me. You've seen me with a pistol, but my rifle and shotgun training went absolutely horrible. 'Last in class' horrible. Secondly, I was the only rookie at Mid-Wilshire that year. Thirdly, I stopped shaving daily and started trimming. Went full 12 o'clock shadow all the way," Ben answered with yet another sigh.

    Not that I expect to change anything, or that it really hurts--but accuracy with a pistol almost absolutely necessitates accuracy with a rifle and well.. a shotgun. Controlled breathing/timing heartbeats, being able to line up your sights, and a smooth trigger squeeze are all FAR more difficult on a pistol, and the skills translate to a rifle which is basically the same thing with a more accurate gun and clearer sights. A guy who is an ace with a pistol is never going to be LAST in a group with a rifle.

    This character isn't autistic and has talked about how his brother has an issue similar to what Sheldon deals with. Therefor he is Ben Affleck's character's brother, who is played by... Jon Bernthal. Like I said.

    "Bro" you're stupid. Neither of those things were true. In fact, libraries were more popular in the 60s than they are today. Less big public bookstores, way more "hanging out at the library."

    After that, Alexander understood that there was no point in acting cute in front of couples anymore, he drowned himself in his studies and physical exercises to take out the frustration. By the age of 15, he had studied maths, physics, biology, botany, and chemistry to the master's degree level. He was able to do this by stealing books from bookstores, though, he hated doing that but he had no other choice as his pocket money was just enough to buy some cheap candies.

    I say: So what? If I don't have enough magical power, then I'll just grow stronger until I do have enough. There are times and places where it seems morally okay to do such a ritual. And the few times, I can think of that, is World War II for example. The world would be better off without one or two million Nazis, that's for sure.

    Yep. So, it's a young Jon Bernthal.

    Typical Webnovel "meh." The writing quality is fine in terms of coherency, but lacking in terms of an understanding of pacing or building a satisfying story. The novel appears to have regular updates. The story development as far as I got (not far) is rapid and not really satisfying, for example: the character starts out homeless and that homelessness is essentially resolved with zero effort. The character is under the thumb of a local gang, that's resolved with zero effort. The character is poor, that's resolved with zero effort. Essentially, the author could have started out the MC as a wealthy martial arts student in York New or some other random place, and you'd at least say, 'Lucky guy' instead of 'how the hell did he take those guys out'? Character design: The design of the MC suffers from the same thing as the story, they're unsatisfyingly good at what they do for no reason. The character is suffering from weakness caused by malnutrition, but apparently is strong enough to take out a gang armed with weapons--without getting hurt. They're written for the lowest common denominator of Webnovel readers who appreciate edgelord characters that are "totally badass." World background: didn't get far enough to really appreciate if the author fully fleshes out a satisfying HxH story, but they didn't strike me as failing to understand the world, so, I expect that they'll handle the setting fine.

    First, just use control of time to revert the damage, but yeah, good plans.

    After thinking about it, I have decided to wait to repair it for now. I will first visit Yggdrasill and ask it for wisdom and the power over Runes and then reforge it using the Eternal Flames and cool it using the Casket of Ancient Winters. And then I will also add runes to it while I'm at it. But that is for later, now I have something else to do.

    Being a slave means being told what to do without pay. He was a captive or prisoner.

    "You're wrong missy. Being a slave is a matter of mentality. If you call yourself a slave you accept the notion that you are beneath someone else and that he or she has all the power over you. Slavery is a mentality many never get out of. No one has power over me. I was never a slave."

    Apparently being an aimless block of wood in his past life made him an expert at storytelling.

    "Why ... you. What is going on? Why aren't you screaming?!", I can see that he is confused, angry and ... conflicted. It seems that my proposal about telling him a story has hit his fancy. Well, I got quite a few stories to tell, so he'll surely like them.

    And the reason for that, was. Nobody could start with a divine ranked aspect, Perform the highest in a damn hell of a first trial, Survive and have a divine being bless them. So it's safe to say. I deserved this reward more than anyone else. Even though Sunny's nightmare was vicious too, it was nothing compared to mine.

    Let's just start off by saying, all critiques below, aside... I enjoyed this, and look forward to more. It's a fun idea for a combination, author, and I hope you continue it. So, that said.. Biggest critique: the author doesn't strike me as as being SUPER thorough with character details or to seem to know the material of either the Addams Family or Harry Potter extremely well. Character detail issue: as an example that pops up a few times in different ways, in the early chapters the character talks about muggle studies and it's clear that they're pureblood and don't know muggle society. ... But within a chapter ends up quoting a famous American Muggle author from memory, which is just layers of odd choices for a pureblood wizard. Not only is he reading muggle authors, he reads them enough to be able to quote _poignantly_ on topic, all while going to Wizard school in Scotland and having a full academic schedule as he, I assume, prepares for his Newts or Owls, or whatever year he's supposed to be. Second issue (as an example of not knowing the settings): Grandmama (the Grandma in the stories,) is literally called a 'witch' or fortune teller; has a big warty nose, brews from a pot, spouts curses and hexes at people, uses voodoo, etc. It's not a thing that shows up in Wednesday (IIRC) YET, but I wouldn't be surprised--AT ALL--if magic of some variety shows up a bit more in the next season. It's not at the level of HP, so MC would have a huge leg up still, but acting like he's some unique unicorn is just weird. Lastly.. he's a Slytherin (cunning, ambitious), and not stupid, yet he apparently can't keep from spilling the beans about his coming from another world through more that ONE conversation with Weems, or ONE day of knowing Wednesday. Like, I don't care that he spilled, but he apparently does, and just can't keep a secret to save his life?

    The ban list was remarkably short for Gotham. Just Victor Zsasz and the Joker. And the methodical and purely malicious serial killers got a tentative blanket ban that could be renegotiated if they showed up and convinced me otherwise. The likes of Killer Croc and Solomon Grundy fell under that second consideration.
