Synopsis

Superheroes are real.

Year 2030: the Seven were revered. Able to bend light to their will, dominate fire with ease, and control the very gravity that kept everyone rooted to Earth. The Seven were the world's first superheroes. It was practically everyone's dream to join their ranks.

In 2032, Felix Hale was the youngest astronaut to brave space at 20. As he was about to complete one of his final spacewalks, disaster struck. Disconnected from his ship, his destiny was to drift off into space, utterly alone. Desperate for a chance to change it all, he travels back in time to before he left the ship, becoming a superhuman in his own right.

Now back on Earth, Felix has to not only learn how to control his own powers, but how to navigate a world in which droves of people suddenly arise with abilities of their own. With villains seeking to utilize their gifts for their own gain, Felix will be tested again and again. And if he breaks, it means letting down those who need him most. A tough ask for a college junior.

This story absorbs you into its cosmos and the writer strings you along the adventure of a light-year. With a relatable protagonist - a college junior just trying to survive - the intimacy I felt with Felix was magical. Great pacing, no grammatical errors, amazing play on structure, meaningful characters, and immense specificity; this is the work of a well-seasoned writer! (Seriously, this is better than some paperbacks I've read) The author has a great voice that had me chuckling with every page turned (or screen scrolled). To attract more readers, I would only suggest slight changes to your synopsis: The cutting of fluff words and sentences in its first paragraph. By fluff, I mean words and adjectives that aren't of paramount importance e.g. 'Starting' (versus beginning your synopsis with the immersive 'in'), 'Able to ... to Earth', 'It was ... ranks'. Of course, this is just my personal preference and I could be in the ditches but the first paragraph would then become, "In the year 2026, seven people became the world's first superhumans; the Seven revered. The heroes of comic books and stories became real." Or, alternatively, "2026 saw the dawn of the world's first superhumans, the Seven revered. The heroes of comic books and stories became real." or something else to your content. Then, you launch off into the subsidiaries. You can always add the cuts back in after that. Either way, I can't wait to keep reading the rest of Hero's Genesis! Thus ends my obscenely long review teeming with way too much fluff in its own right!

A work of art. The author puts the words together so well, so amazingly well, that I can’t stop reading. Not to mention following Felix through his journey into becoming a hero. Great story telling.

The concept is incredible! The story will bring you into series of events that Felix will experience thorughout his journey. I beleive that the first few chapters could easily grab the readers, paired with the awesome plot written in the synopsis.

Alright, full disclosure, I'm the author of this subjectively great webnovel. I'm going to give it my best, and I'd love for you to read Felix's story. I've got plenty planned, and I hope to get you as excited about Hero's Genesis as I am!
