A Nerd's Wet Dream Come True (Tossing an OC into Marvel)

Description

John was an average man. At least that's what he tells himself at night. He lived in a rented apartment in the decent district, a well-paying job, and more student debt than he cared to think about being steadily paid off. Yet he was absolutely miserable. He spent his days living like a zombie, a slave in all but name to corporate. His only joy these days it seems was reading comics and writing fanfics. SI ones. Choke full of power fantasies and large harems. Yeah, even he had to admit he was a loser. His only redeeming feature seemed to be his photographic memory and the library's worth of comics and books he has read.

Yet, when fate took pity on him and had John transported into the Marvel Universe, he was only all too happy to oblige. A second chance to make something of himself. Is he going to finally have the comfortable life he wanted? Will he laze away relying on his past life's knowledge or does he want more this time? Will his ambition and hard work lead to sweet fruits, or will it rot away in the darkness hiding beneath the colorful costumes of the hero's society?

Now with crossovers! Be warned if you don't like to see OCs messing up the timeline or DC and other stuff showing up. I swear I'm not randomly adding stuff and there is a legitimate (as far as comic books and fanfics can be) plot reason why.

(I'll be honest, I don't know "cannon" marvel really... I watched some movies and animated series as a kid, but I haven't picked up a comic in years. This is just some light-hearted and casual writing for fun. If there are any errors or something you think would be cool please let me know.)

I'm also trying to have multiple main characters so that might be jarring for some people while I switch perspective. Sorry in advance, I'm new at this and idk what I'm doing, advice and feedback gladly welcomed!

So far we’ve seen Shang Chi and some Spider-Man character, but not yet the the man himself. Also some scenes with Rogue from X-men so we can probably expect more on that or the other Marvel supers. Not too much as happened yet though but apparently the first arc is about to begin!
grammar and spelling are alright, good to kill an hour or two.
a good point for the author is regular updates. Almost everyday has been constant updates with each chapter 1-3k words

Its really good but its a bit of a clusterfuck. The author throws in all sorts of shit from marvel to anime to ocs' and dc. There's a little bit ov everything. But its still really good, I enjoy it.

Let's start with the fact that I really liked the beginning of this Fic, it reminded me of this one other fic I read before but this fic developed much better than the other one so I continued to read!
I love multiple PoV stories, so don't get me wrong, but one of the things I hate most is multiple MC's, the concept is confusing for a simple-minded person like myself as I put myself into the shoes of the MC(Yes, yes, I'm a loser, have no life and what not, go ahead make fun and insult me), so when I'm told to put myself into the the shoes of multiple characters it confuses the hell outta me and makes me uncomfortable(personal opinion), sure I like multiple PoV's but I like a story focused on ONE person as it makes it easier for me to follow along. Now people will say "But the Author does a good job explaining things(or what not)" That doesn't fecking matter if I'm all over the place tryna put myself in the shoes 3-??? many characters, sure I could just not do that, but how am I supposed to escapes from reality when I can't completely focus on a single characters complete life!!!
Long story short if u like Multiple Protagonists then this is ur drugs, if not, and ur a picky fecker like me, read it a bit, leave a review or something then move on if u still can't follow along.
P.S. This feels like one of the stories where the Author doesn't really like his MC(If he can be called that, as there are multiple MCs so yeah)
P.S.S. It's an overall good story, just not for a picky fecker like me, plz continue to write for others as I can tell they will enjoy it~

Hmmm...
Since he have a photographic memory why is he a low wage employee???
He can easily land a job in forensics field...
If he is a bit smart he can even become a diagnosis or a neuro surgeon...
