Making Supers #1
Making Supers 1
When people started to develop superpowers, the world changed forever. Me? I wasn't one of the lucky ones with powers. So I had to develop more mundane skills, skills which have taken me across the globe on dangerous missions.
But there are some missions I’ve always had to refuse. I've never been able to take on a supe. They're just too powerful. They're gods, whereas I'm just a man, even with all my knowledge and training.
All that changes after I discover my dad's secret research project. With this device, I can not only steal superpowers and take them for myself, but I can also choose to give them to other people.
I can make supers.
In a world ruled by egomaniacal supers, I'm about to upset the balance of power.

I get a nugget craving about three, four times a year.
Super hero books are a similar indulgence, but I really should know better. King books are lazy, cheap set ups with instant characters. They are the b-rated action flicks of books. If the story has a shred of continuity or made a little bit of sense, that would be fine. But this is just one big scene after another with no one to story. I really need to stop trying.

A lot of fun
This is a basic softcore superhero story with plot and characters but also a whole lot of sex. Whether this is you bag or not is nothing I will judge but it is one of the better examples of its genre.

The story is good to read, it is my personal opinion that sex scenes are added by writers when the story has no essence. In this book as well I think apart from adult scenes the book is great to read.

Fellas...are you ok?
Seriously, I want to have a talk with the boys for a second. We good? Heart to heart here, this is a safe space. We good? Because...I'm starting to really think we not so good.
I picked up Making Supers 1 for a few different reasons. It had a few things going for it: The first was 'It might be good for a few laughs'. I love these corny and cheesy romances (Heck, I loved 'Unhinged' the door romance book!), and this seemed like a smutty super-hero book. Also, there are a few quirks in this book that get my own engine revving: Stealing powers from one super and giving it to another? Yes please!
I've also read one other of these harem romances thinking it might be my jam, and didn't connect with it. So I thought 'maybe it's the story' or the characters that didn't do it for me. Which it partially was. But after reading this book...maybe it's this whole 'smut books...for him' that I'm just doomed to get the 'ick' from.
Ok, first off, let's talk about what I liked...It was funny as hell! But, I don't think it was intentional. Any time the MMC cracked a joke it was cringe as hell. It was almost anti-humor, in the same vain as 'you really can't be serious he just said that'. It was akin to knock-knock jokes. The whole book is in the category of "So bad it's funny", like Birdempic, or The Room. I'm sure Dante King thought he was cooking, but boy, you've really got some harsh internalized issues that I think you need to talk to someone about. There were many points in this book where I legit thought "Oh you can't be serious" but nope, King is VERY serious.
And that's about it in terms of things that I liked. Oh, the end had a nice little stinger to keep the reader going into book two which...I can't lie, I'm very tempted to, just to see how bad it gets.
Ok, onto the things I didn't like:
*Deep breath*
The plot, characters, and setting are paper thin. If you've ever consumed any of this 'edgy' Super-Hero stories: Think Watchmen, The Boys, Invincible, (but more likely Joss Whedon's Justice League with Stashgate) then you've read this book. You would see things coming a mile away, and not in the fun roller coaster 'oh here comes the loop!' kind of way.
The saucy sex scenes were also extremely vanilla. Like, the MMC only has one move and boy howdy is he going to use it. It's like the kid who has a Blastoise and only uses Hydro Pump even though it just has 5 pp. You'd think if you're able to steal super-powers and then give them to other people the sex would be a little bit more dynamic????
And the MMC....oh dear lord, let's talk about the MMC...
The main character, Dean. *pinches bridge of nose* I've never read a more closeted gay character outside of an Oscar Wilde novel. This man is OBSSESSED with other men's genitalia. It was funny at first...then concerning in a way that if I had met this guy irl I would have taken him aside, sat him down, and said "My guy...you ok? Do you need to talk? This isn't the 1980 anymore and you're acting like it's the 1940s so....you good?". Then when he just...kept...doing it, it became hysterical.
Like, if a guy actually thought like this, I want to take both of his hands, sit him down, and just say 'It's ok'. You know? The amount of internalized misogyny this guy is exhibiting could light up the tristate area for decades. And I seriously think it's because he's over-compensating due to his sexuality. The way he treats women and only sees them as a means to an end to prove he's not gay; the way he interacts with other men, constantly trying to prove he's better than them or in some way say how his dick is in comparison to theirs...it's kind of clinical you know? Like bro...why do obsessed?
Case in point: My boy Chuck. He's a hench man from Gwen: the second women (or as this book would qualify Gwen: Female) we're introduced to, and leader of The Basement: The underground (get it?!) organization who's trying to expose and take down the big bad super hero organization. We love Chuck. He's a great cook, an even better henchman, and professionally trained.
Thus we come to a part in the story where Dean and co. are planning to put together a team of super heroes. We know Dean's super power is being able to take a Super Hero's super power and give it to someone else. But plot twist: The only way he's been able to do so thus far is by having sex with the lucky recipient of those powers. Dean literally posits: All the females that I've encounter don't have the proper training that I need for a successful team, and we need at least one more person to stand a chance to this world ending, cataclysmic, doomsday problem.
My guy: Chuck is RIGHT THERE! You said he's professionally trained, he's seen action, he's a surgeon with a gun and even better at hand to hand. He's a BMB: Big Man Big! You have the perfect powers for him: this bull rush / invulnerability that will literally turn him into the Juggernaut. Problem. Solved. I know you're thinking it, but since that would reveal your biggest secret of being so far into the closet Mr. and Mrs. Beaver have invited Mr. Tumnus over for tea and have set a place for you as well...you'd rather bring in some random wild card (insane name for a Super-Hero alter ego btws) who you can barely trust because she used to work for the big evil corporation and you're not sure if she's still loyal to them??????????? Come on man, just knock boots with Chuck and make him the MVP you know he is!
Ok, enough of that.
I also read this book on audio, and I'm not completely convinced that Wayne Kelly, the male narrator, isn't an AI bot. Dude is way too monotoned with zero inflections, and sounds like an amalgamation of all the honest trailer voice over guys. The guy also needs to slow down, it's not a race. At least he/it could do accents really well, same with Raya Kane. Some of Raya's characters were a bit too baby-doll voiced to be believable, but her accents were fun. Still, I'm not completely convinced they both weren't AI...
Also, because of the audiobook, anytime they said Sup, I kept hearing Soup, and that always put a smile on my face.
In the end...this book was bad. REALLY bad. Laughably bad. Like, the kind of media you would put on with friends and tear apart because it's so terrible. You can just see the author thinking they're cooking the world's best meringue, but in reality they're throwing mud against the wall and making a mess of everything. I honestly still had an enjoyable time, and I am tempted to read part 2...but just know this book is one of the worst things I've ever read.

Better than I feared it may have been, overall a decent read for what it is. If that sounds like faint praise, it pretty much is, but this is a pulpy harem book so getting a 4 (from me) still indicates a better than average result. Sex scenes were really overdone, so I skimmed large chunks of this; entire chapters at times.
I'd say my favourite part was the "reverse cliff-hanger" at the end of this. A standard cliff-hanger leaves the hero(es) in a difficult spot; I can't say much more without a spoiler, but it was enough to keep me interested for a second book. Without that, it was pretty disposable, but it's earned another try.

Imagination
This group of "Supers" are either good or evil, depending on their orientation. Classic fights like Batman/Joker, Superman/Lex Luther but with a twist of subterfuge thrown in. Who are the people to believe? Can the underdogs win? Can't wait for the next story.

Meh
Imagine The Boys, only much more pedestrian, and much less interesting. The plot is pretty simple: Boring guy suddenly has powers. Girls can't help but fall in love with him, especially since he's able to give them powers by having sex with them. Boy and girls fight the evil corporate supers. Boy wins. WooHoo?
The boy's backstory isn't just unlikely, it's dumb and boring. The boy's personality is... non existent, besides being vaguely unlikable. The girls are mostly caricatures with limited personality.
There are 4 major engagements in the book (maybe 5) in as many days.
There is a training montage that gives one of the girls expert combat ability from zero ability in a couple of hours, and the same girl goes from office drone who is shocked by any kind of violence to blood thirsty ninja assassin in about a day.
The boy shows up and takes over an underground group in 2 days. In that time the group goes from distrust to adoration, following his every command, even when everyone agrees that the idea is terrible.
Don't get me started on the plotline with the father! Totally cringey.
The best part of the book are the villains and their organization. But that's not enough to make me get the next in the series.
In summation: OK, if pedestrian plot. Shallow characters without significant development. Unlikable, boring protagonist. Unfortunate family dynamics, and interpersonal dynamics in general. Decent bad guys.
2 stars because I finished it. One additional star to counter the Amazon rating system. Tom out

DNR
Inherited wealth badass macho man travels the world playing games set up by his father (not to impact father's business evaluation?). Every woman male protagonists meets is a target, for objectification of nothing else. "Making Supers 1" male protagonist is like Mummy's Rick O'Connell with emphasized worst qualities of poor self control for pursuing opportunistic sexual encounters.
Conclusion: 1/5. Listened on Audible included in plus catalogue. Narrated by: Raya Kane, Wayne Kelly. Harem and erotica. Male protagonist aura farms without real marketable skills. With romantasy on one extreme macho man fantasy is the other. DNF after 3h in. Terrible value for the length of the book - 1.94 $/hour ( 20.62 $ / 10 hrs 39 mins ).
Values:
Terrible: >1.66 $/hour
Bad: 1 - 1.66 $/hour
Good: <1 $/hour
Dream: 0.4 - 0.27 $/hour

1 - Not worth the resources to reproduce/preserve this title.

It's good
It's a really good superhero story lots of action sex violence everything it it proclaimed itself to be it delivers on looking forward to the next book in the series because the quality of the first book was so high and it's very hard to have a book be that good when you're trying to develop all the characters set up all the background describe the entire city for the character to work in and still have all the action and fights make sense so with his setting established the author will have a much easier time of having even better plots better fight scenes more interesting superhero interactions really enjoyed the twist at the end would tell you more but that would ruin the book for a lot of people Hope this review is of some help I apologize for lack of some structure and spelling and consistencies I'm doing this review with voice to text Hope it helps.

Absolutely awesome!
It's fun and exciting seeing some of these new and alternative super stories.
For a long time we had comics and stories of superheroes as the good and just.
And then someone asked "what if...?"
And just like the TV show "The Boys" this book covers a society brainwashed my corporatized supers who abuse their powers and see themselves as superior.
But with a witty band of outlaws and normal people wanting to make things better, to hold the supers accountable, and an MC who can steal and transfer those powers to redistribute them to the worthy...
Well it's one heck a read and I couldn't put it down. Can't wait for book 2!

Wow moved like a run away train
So good book from a good author. Wow was it fast paced. It never really stopped. Action upon action upon action with a bit of sexy time in between. Great story and great system so far. It's very simple of course Hopefully more complex in the future. Is the keystone for change of course. In this particular series quite literally. He can steal super powers and realocate them. Of course it's not so simple. Never really is. But he's building up his own cast of characters. Heroes. Not like the Super sized villains playing hero. Looking forward to the next book cause this one was a lot of fun.

This is a nicely put together book. It grabs you pretty quickly, and then keeps up the pace throughout so there's few dull moments, and those that are less energetic are only there to give you a breather before you go back into more action - whether it be in the streets or warehouses for some brawling and gunplay, or behind closed doors for some more -ahem- adult action. The main character is enjoyable, as are the people he ends up surrounding himself with. There's never too much of a sense of stakes or danger, as you know this is the type of book that things will work out, more or less. That doesn't stop it from being the sort of gun-blazing, wise cracking action adventure that would feel right at home in the 80's cinemas with the main character being played by any of the big action heroes.
In summary, it's not a deep, complicated story, but it sure is fun.

A good start to a new series. I will need to read the second book to be able to make an opinion of it. The story is good and has potential and there is a hidden arc that might promise a good twist.
Dean is a mercenary who works as a henchman for his father to do odd jobs.
He is being sent to a city where superheroes are being worshiped even as unhinged as they are. His mission: Bring the superheroes and their supervising corporate organizations down.
But how will a human possibly beat Beings that have superpowers? Well turns out he has an edge that might help him doing so.

Good, but of one note
The book is good, don't get me wrong, but it's very single note for the vast majority of it. I'd normally be able to finish a book of this length in a day or two but it took me eight days. I would just get bored a few chapters in each time.
The story is interesting. The characters are likeable. The writing just isn't all there.
I will likely read the rest of this series but either not for some time or just on the side as I read something else.

Excellent Read!!!
Making Supers was an excellent read! Great take on the Superhero genre! Pinnacle is the Justice League
If they were evil. Unity is what the they should be. The MC Dean Silver/WildCard is the perfect blend of Deadpool, Rogue, and Nightwing! Definitely can’t wait to see how Dante King develops this new series!

Fresh Story Line
A new way to view the old superhero story, showing that they are not always the hero's that humanity thinks they are. A great story to show how the elite can be corrupt and it takes the some what normal person to crack that corruption open to the masses and shed it to the light. Great job on the beginning of a Super series!

This book isn't bad at all. I do think it would have been a better book without the harem element, but that wasn't bad either. There's a lot of potential awesomeness in the concept of someone being able to assign and manipulate super powers, and how you could change the world with that setup.
I intend to pick up the sequel, whenever I see it.

Interesting and creative
While l am not a huge fan of super hero tropes, this was pretty interesting. There are, of course, unanswered questions about how the MC gained the siphon power but he is an experienced clandestine operator who is throwing chaos into Pinacles' nefarious plans. Looking forward to the next installment.

OMG... what puerile rubbish.
Here's the thing... there is the element of a good story possibility here, and it could have been a good book, even if it is in a quasi OP LITRPG style... but OMG this was rubbish. Some form of wish fulfilment harem piece of hardcore porn several times before reverting back into a sci=fi superhero story again.

Expectations
Making supers is a good book, but it's not for everyone. It's action-packed and full of cool superhero shenanigans and a fun underdog story for "sticking it to the man" but the plot is a little contrived and lacks depth. If you're looking for an intellectual and complex story this simply isn't it. If not, go ham, it's awesome.

Super or not, that is the question.
So you get a quest, take on the superheroes and end the tyranny. So we have a fun time of the David versus Goliath and we will eventually see if David wins again. Can't wait for the next book.

Loved it
This was a very good read. Loved the Mc, just enough confidence and smart mouth that is very entertaining. Enjoyed how the powers work and hopefully see more in depth on that later. Liked the way the book ended and can't wait for the next to continue the story.

Not so super heroes
Another great series. This is probably closer to The Boys then Heroes. The main heroes are just there to make endorsements and look good without any care for the citizens. The idea that our MC can remove and transfer powers opens a lot of options.

No more phemomenon?
Well he took her powers, two more to go! All have English accents? Snobs? Will he grow his team, no guys!? Be nice to add some, but the normal process won't work!

Great start to a new series
I liked the book, liked the consept of a guy taking powers and collecting them for himself and others who truly deserve them. Loved the fact that the heros are actually the bad guys even more lol.

Mary Sue Nonsense
Follow one of the privileged elite, a child of wealth and plenty, as he beats up poor folks and super powered jerks, relying on luck, incompetence, and plot armor to survive and win in this wank fantasy about humbling superheroes.

The Boys with sexier anti-heroes
Was a fun 1 day read that actually had me looking forward to a sequel.
Yes, definitely has similarities to The Boys, but not to the extent of being a copy. Lots of action an good old fashioned sexiness an smut.

A good idea, but a bit shallow.
This isn't a bad book, I hope future books are a bit deeper, and the character development grows. Want stands I won't read future releases they are a bit young for me.

Nice
I was expecting the worst and was pleasantly surprised. The ending was icing on the cake and looking forward to the next book in the series to see how wildcard does his thing.
