This is one of those fanfics you start reading and immediately get an headache. The MC apparently get an existential crisis and have a mental breakdown a few days after reincarnating, he doesn't want to be a "fictional character in DC" and doesn't believe anyone around him is actually "alive" as they are only figures preprogrammed to act as they are acting by script. That leads to him not wanting to use the points he gets from the system to get stronger, even after almost getting killed twice in one week he still doesn't use the points to get stronger. Eventually he gets over his fear and starts using the system points to get stronger, but yet he is still not killing anyone for some reason. That leads to the exact situation of all DC heroes, defeating a villain just to fight the same villain again a week later after he recovers... So he become just what he feared and criticized, a hero who is always taking out his enemies but never killing them, just like Superman and Batman... (I know the author said that the MC doesn't kill cuz he doesn't want the Justice League to be on his tail and arrest him, however that is stupid cuz even if they arrest him, he can just escape from prison just like every other villain does every week... and even after he gets stronger so he doesn't fear the Justice League he still didn't kill anyone... So in general the Anti-Hero tag is just there to pull readers...) Now, how to describe the story as a all? Predictable... Just as every DC comic, the author points out how stupidly and predictable the heroes act in those comics, and yet the MC acts exactly the same... I've never seen such an hypocrite author. On the one hand he makes the MC complain about how unfair it is that the civilians are getting killed constantly by villains who escape prison, and yet the MC too doesn't kill anyone and simply send them to prison to escape again...

So! Here's my review on what I think is a DC fanfic with a ton of potential and has my mind wanting more to read. Writing Quality: So, quality wise it's good. Only reason I'm giving 3 stars is because of the errors here and there scattered about that break my immersion at times. Also, because as far as I'm aware, the author is English speaking. Even if it is auto correct, I still give 3 stars for not going back to edit the obvious ones. Stability of Updates: This is a new fanfic so not really much to review on, but so far so good. Story Development: It's good. Not original at first, but then again nothing is in fanfics, but has it's own charm and is still in it's developing stages at the moment. There is no clear goal for the MC and I like that. Not saying the author doesn't know what he's doing, but that the story is naturally developing in a way that has me thinking of multiple possibilities that I don't know the end goal. Character Design: I like the MC. I've seen comments hating on him for being a "beta MC" but that's just them reading too many OP fanfics and Wuxia face slapping BS. The MC is no pushover, but he isn't an idiot either. He's a regular guy, in a f****ed up world and is suffering from a disconnection from reality and fiction in a realistic fashion that isn't presented as being a wimpy kid but isn't treated as a nonchalant passing of rushed character development that he gets over quickly and pursues strength. He's a guuy genuinely searching for some meaning in his existence and following the most convenient path for himself until he finds it. World Background: Not much going on, but that's because it's still new. For now, it's enough, but can probably be more descriptive in terms of his (MC) current setting in scenes. Right now, it's more like a description at the start and end of scenes with some breaks in the middle that describe a scene change before going back into dialogue. But still a 5 because the details mentioned in passing are enough for the imagination. Overall: Ton of potential with a unique MC and thought process that I can see him easily become insane or "real" in the eyes of the residents of DC. It's rare seeing this type of personality and thought process being explored in a way that doesn't make it feel like I'm reading a dictionary or scientific report. This feels like a nice, simple fanfic with some spice and not like the other existential crisis MC's in stories that take one chapter to write about nothing but filler, or some that are rushed so much that there is now flow. Short Version: I like it.
