Reviews of Marvel's Superman [Completed] by BingeFics - Webnovel

Review based off 124 chapters read of the translation, and complete 487 chapters of the full story via machine translation. I've read quite a few chinese Marvel fics and I have to say, this is definitely one of the better ones. Probably in my top 3. There is also no blatant racism or chinese propaganda. It's also a crossover fic for those who might be interested to know. I mean, besides just being "Superman in Marvel". The MC, Luke, will crossover into not only different Marvel universes but also Watchman and several DC universes. It might be handy to know this before you get too invested because if you only have knowledge of the MCU you might get a little confused down the line. The MC is... unbelievably a pretty good person. While he might be more gray area than a traditional comic hero, especially compared to the OG Superman, as far as Marvel fics go he's practically a shining beacon. Maybe my perspective is just warped from reading so many MC's being frankly a lot more sociopathic or just plain psychotic. Now the story itself has its up and downs. It does a lot of things a little differently from what I'm used to seeing. For example the MC starts at the same time as Captain America but instead of either of them going on ice they actually stay. So he actually pushed things forward a bit by introducing tech advances and ideas that would had otherwise come about in the next generation. Such as putting forward the ironman suit idea to Howard to see if he could make it, and even establishing SHIELD much earlier. The only real complaint I had with the story was that probably from chapter 200+ it begins to feel a bit... rushed I guess. That may not be the best way to describe it but there are a lot of small story elements that come up, plots that happen and seem to build up to something... only to then be basically never really touched upon again. like for example we hear that he's putting together this magic congress... but after putting all the pieces in place it all becomes background noise. We don't ever see it nor does it play any further role in the story. All the build up for only to get no real satisfying conclusion. There are a lot of moments like this where the MC gathers something with implied intentions... but we never see what it ultimately leads to. I feel like the author might had wrote himself into a corner and just ran out of ways to make the story interesting so he just rushed to tidy up an ending to call it a day. The reason I think that is because after a certain point in the story the MC has stacked so many Superman templates ontop of each other that he is basically a god who can punch through dimensions. Despite my complaints I did enjoy the story. (I have reposted this review several times. Between WebNovel inexplicably destroying the formatting and making this a giant wall of text instead of including my spacing, or just not showing my review to public eyes for some reason I'm frankly done trying to fight with it. Hopefully the stars still count for something.)

Fun story, though the MC sounded like a hypocrite a bunch of times. The story lost excitement when he became all powerful.

At the beginning the plot was fine, especially because I like the idea that the protagonist has Superman's powers, but when I discovered that all the chapters of the entire novel were focused only between World War II and the beginning of What it happens then I realized it wasn't for me anymore. I thought he was going to write a story about fighting Tano and the usual stuff, not this one.
