Resumen del Editor

Randold, better known as Rand, was no ordinary individual. Despite his best efforts, he possessed an extraordinary secret—he was a Super. Well, technically speaking, he belonged to that exceptional group, but he concealed his true nature from the world. For Rand possessed a remarkable ability to manipulate all forms of energy, even the Superpowers of others, a power that, if discovered, would undoubtedly land him in dire trouble with the government. The consequences ranged from imprisonment to something far worse.

But the weight of responsibility rested heavily on Rand's shoulders, a burden he never asked for. He had never aspired to be a Super; all he desired was a simple, ordinary life. His dreams revolved around attending university, graduating, and securing a decent job in the world of business. Saving the world was not part of his grand plan.

The existence of Supers had been a reality for over two decades. It all began with the dramatic entrance of a Supervillain, shattering the tranquility of the world. However, their reign was short-lived, swiftly countered by the arrival of a courageous Superhero within a week. From that point forward, the world underwent a metamorphosis, forever altered by the presence of these extraordinary beings.

It wasn't just the human population that experienced transformation; even animals underwent bewildering mutations, transforming into monstrous creatures. Even seemingly harmless creatures like rabbits had evolved into formidable level-two threats. An average human being was classified as a level-one entity, whereas Supers spanned a spectrum of power, ranging from level three to the awe-inspiring Titan and Dragon threat levels. In the face of such cataclysmic changes, humanity sought refuge in fortified City-States. Rand resided in one of the larger cities along the eastern coast, aptly named New San Diago.

However, everything changed on one fateful day when Rand found himself saving what he had initially assumed to be an ordinary human girl. From that moment onward, his life veered onto an irreversible path, leaving him uncertain if the consequences would be favorable or not. Concealing his identity as one of the most powerful Supers in the world became an even greater challenge, as the act of rescuing a single girl posed a threat to exposing his closely guarded secret.

Embark on Rand's journey as he grapples with the immense task of controlling his powers while navigating the treacherous path of secrecy. His quest is not only to hide his true nature from his newfound friends but also from other Supers who may be lurking in the shadows. Will he successfully strike a delicate balance, or will his remarkable abilities lead to an unmasking that could forever alter his destiny? Join Rand as he faces these trials and tribulations, where the stakes are high, and the world of Supers is fraught with peril.

Great story!

I found the story quite enjoyable with an overpowered MC with a charmingly loyal mind set with a strong sense of justice and righteousness. Great story!

Good story, good male performance, horrible female performance

Really enjoyed the story especially when it took turns away from the expected.
Really appreciate the author fading to black for all sec scenes and only referencing their existence.
The male voice actor's performance is solid but the female's is horrible, almost making me return the book early on, it drove me nuts the whole book. She sounds like a cheap text to speech

Little Silly at Times

It was enjoyable. Not stressful, boring at times but good enough. The author has a bad habit of repeating himself multiple times. The author will feed us a piece of information about a character in a conversation and then almost a carbon copy of the conversation will happen between the same 2 characters. It just bothers me a bit. Also, the guy has telekinesis kind of, he can just easily open and close a door behind him when rushing. Why does he keep breaking through doors for no reason while saying that he does not have time? It definitely would not slow him down much to just use the door -_-. Breaking doors while rushing off to not even save the world is just too edgy in my opinion.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this book!!

this is right up my alley! super heroes w a secret organization. the story is great. definitely worth a credit or paying for it. it seems like it's only going to get better too. already started the 2nd book & can't wait for the third! the narrators r great too. I always know which character is speaking due to the different voices. great job narrators!

Surprisingly good!

I was not expecting very much from this book, but was pleasantly surprised. The author has shown quite a bit of growth in his writing skills, and I am very impressed with this series so far.

fucking cliffhanger

the only issue I have is with the way it ended it pulled me in and the end was where I didn't even know it was the end.

Good start

Good start to a new series. I will definitely buy the next book and see how this goes from here

Use a door man!

Good story, fun to listen to. MC is a little bit of a hypocrite as he complains about collateral damage but keeps deciding he doesn’t have time to use the door.

Just go read Saving Supervillains

This is basically Saving supervillains and well its not a total knockoff I would compare the two VERY heavily

Both MC have the same power's, Both can Burn out peoples powers, Both can Give people power. Fuck there's even a fruit thing that GIVES powers or boosts them......

So far things seem a lot more PG13, Sex is talked about and implied but is not detailed or acted out in detail. i'm honestly not interested in this series to find out more.

The world for Reluctant superhero is pretty poorly played out to, its made pretty clear that no one really knows HOW this happened just that everything living thing is getting superpowers, Yet its also pointed out that Animals that are domesticated never turn into super versions of animals.

lastly we need to talk about this book as a whole. This book reads more like a Slice of life with a how will i hide my powers but i need to do the right thing, Him using his powers because some random red head hits on him and takes him out for a date is just kinda lame, The big reason he uses them is, she used this Fruit to get her powers under control because GET this small fireworks go off around her when her emotions are running high. I am sorry fcking WHAT? you have a cool ass effect going off when ur overly emotional and your worried about some random dude thinking poorly of them?? Why is a supposed HOT red head women afraid of what people might think about fireworks going off?? Its not till the last few hours of the book for any real movement to start happening. By then i just dont freaking care what he is doing. And now the fruit seller who BTW is telling people what these things COULD do to them. is magically a Alien who will enslave anyone with powers??? I mean fck it why not lets also have Fairy's and demons come out too fck sake i thought this was about SUPERHEROS. People who have a gift or talent and a dark side that the hero would have to deal with, but nope we have a Alien story.

Great book But not just typical work.

Usually this author has very well made World building with great storyline. And also Very spicy scenes. This book has no spicy scenes. Very PG-13. Not saying I don't like it just saying. Not quite sure if he wrote this book. But I'm a Deviant. I like smudie books. Take this review with a grain of salt.
