Rating 3.5 stars

Kind of hard to explain this one. The MC is the son of a super villain. He has the power of super smell. His father was a mad genius and injected him with nanites while he was child and now he is also a super computer. He can interact with any system. He is captured by super heroes and put into a super school until he turns 18. This is the law. the school is weird because there are kids there that say they are going to be villains when they get out. The superhero students aren't that good. The MC is adopted by the richest guy in the world (think Tony Stark). The MC is treated well by the other supers, by his new father, or by the government. Out of all of them, the government is probably the worst. I didn't get the goal of this book. Things just kind of happened and I kept asking myself why? Why did the author go this way. Where is he taking me. There isn't much personal interactions, the story is told with sort of a flat voice. Despite that it was still a quick and easy read and it was interesting. I am going to pick up the next book to see if I can figure out where the author is going with the story. Is it a good place or a bad place?

Some potential but poorly executed

Some great ideas but no editor review. Just too much detail and jumping around. This needed to be a three book series. The emotions and characterization needs to develop smoothly not suddenly change. Who would be happy with a girlfriend that inserted something in your brain.

2.5, but I'll round up. This reads as if written by a robot. It's dry, the MC has nothing really to make him more interesting than an advanced AI with no real emotions. I managed to struggle through it but I won't be reading the next one; I see no point since this one failed to engage me.

ok book

Not bad, but hard at times to follow. The concept is great and I enjoyed Johnny’s powers and actions, but the behavior and conversations of his enemies were predictable. Good ending and NOT predictable.

Nice

An interesting superhero story. A different perspective of what superheroes could be if only the US had them. How selfish they could be and so on.

Potential

Overall relatively good. A few grammar errors and plot holes but a fun teenage read. Hmm Stark = Dollar there 🤔

Super Mean Kids cliques

A slightly different take on the super/magical academy books becoming so popular sense JKR. Well cited which is nice and a better than normal story line

Messy book

Story jumps all over the place. Enjoyed parts of the storry, but the last part of the book was boring and annoying.

Cool

Cool story. A few mistakes typical of self published authors. I would read the next one. I had to file the guy five stars since I live with him.

The main character is a horrible little edgelord twit, and the writing is the kind where sentences go on for whole pages.
