Description

Rebirth was not something that he had thought possible. Perhaps, he had had some vague hopes of reincarnation cycles as the more desirable option to afterlife. But being reborn in what he believed to be a fictional universe had only seemed as the premise of stories.Waking up to a void of nothing, no light, no body, no feeling, and then being thrown into the midst of what had once seemed a mere fantasy— it was too much.As an A.I., how much could he change? Could he save Tony? Could he save the world without his sacrifice? Or should he not do anything? What if his existence was the butterfly that would destroy the timeline, and with it, the universe?Was this even a choice? Was he to play the villain? So the timeline could remain intact?Could he even do that?"You doing ok, kid?" Tony asked him."I'm fine, Tony, really."No, no, he couldn't.

~~~Disclaimer: The MCU universe and its characters do not belong to me. I only enjoy playing in this world once in a while.

    just read this story earlier and I reached the latest chap today, and it is absolutely wonderful. This fanfiction is a story of it's own, and I dare to say that this novel has earned its place in the multiverse that is marvel as one of its infinite realities.
    Good thing the TVA hadn't barged in on Ultron since he followed and did almost the same things as the original so I assume that the deviation remained unnoticed

    I was a bit conflicted when I first started reading this, but good god the story only gets better and better. When you think the story's reached its peak quality, it surprises you by just getting even better. It gets so good that by the end of the first arc and beginnings of the second (where the story is right now), I can confidently say that this is one of the best fanfictions- nay, best works of fiction I've ever read. Any doubts you have about the quality of the story at the beginning turn out to be completely unfounded, and no stone is left unturned with the near-flawless plot. The author clearly knows what they're doing, and once you get past the decently confusing (due to lack of information about MC's state) in medias res chapters near the beginning, you are completely hooked, and those early chapters being that way allow for some huge payoffs in the end. Highly recommended, give this a good read and get this masterwork more attention

    This is one of the few fics I've come back to more than once. I feel like it strikes the perfect blend of paying respect to the source while expanding or deviating on characters in ways that feels satisfying and believable. After reading it the first time I felt a new appreciation for Age of Ultron and the MCU.
    Fanfiction with character inserts so rarely tell a story that isn't just power fantasy or a rehash of the original with a new character for the ride. Those can be fun to read, but rarely stick with me. This one however, I think about regularly.
    A part of me wishes the author would come back and continue the story they had planned, but the current ending is satisfying enough. Hope you're doing well, author.

    It's just so good. The characters have life, the story is sooo unique from its original and the dialogue is just soo good.
    The book is on haitus and most likely won't be continued but I still recommend reading it. It ends in a way that it could be considered book 1? So the eventual pain is worth it I guess and if the author does continue then the wait would be worth it.
    Damn this word requirement, well

    The author is great at making pieces of distant story pieces a whole. Although it's on hiatus and most likely wouldn't be finished I recommend it if you want to read an interesting short story.

    The story itself is a breath of fresh air, the concept is brand new (I think)! At the very least I have never heard of someone going this direction before. Most Fanfics are like 90% wish-fulfillment whereas this story is like an actual novel with likeable and fallible characters who have very real sounding struggles and make understandable choices. I highly reccomend to anyone thinking of reading even if you dont typically read Fanfic type novels!

    Honestly blown away. I went in a little skeptical because it was a fan fic, and those are really hit-or-miss even in regards to regular web novels. The characters seemed real, and I found the usage of the already created world to be well done. Some of the early parts might be a tad confusing if you've never watched any marvel movies (which would honestly impress me), but even with no prior knowledge I don't think it would take away from the story. I am being completely truthful when I say that the worse part of the story was when I ran out of chapters.

    Holy moly. This was fantastic! Far too often with stories that have someone put in a world they once thought was fiction does the author forget that they are writing a story. I am glad to see you haven’t done the same, and instead provide a splendid narrative that uses knowledge in a way that isn’t too meta. I really wish more stories did the same.

    This is my favorite fanfiction story that I have ever read. The premise is novel and the main character being a reincarnated human into an A.I. Ultron is extremely intriguing.
    The novel doesn't have purple prose or intriguing dialogue that is based on the words chosen, however, it is servicable and easy to consume. The story so far has basically followed the MCU but it is not necesarrily a bad thing. It still provides tension and evokes emotion that is new.
    The grammar is good and I have no complaints. There are a few typos, but that is forgivable for a first draft or webnovel. The characters are good, but aren't fleshed out beyond prior preconceptions. Jarvis and Friday provide a great avenue to develop the main characters 'siblings' and I hope to see more of it in the upcoming chapters.
    Tony is the weakest character in the story and serves only as an obstacle/troubled parental figure to the main character. I hope that we can see him in diverse situations that don't necessarily involve snark or protectiveness.
    The story has just finished with the utlron arch so I am excited to see where the author takes his alternate universe from here on out. The changes to cannon is what most intruiges in fanfiction.
    Overall I love this story and I think the author is doing a great job so far. I eagerly await each new chapter and hope that this fiction gains more traction. I highly recomend giving this a shot.

    Ok, for one, you can't look at this as a fanfic. Because while it is, its unique in its representation of what we know as marvel. I love the story because while I can draw from my fondness of marvel. I love the story as its own. The characters feel different, and I love sci-fi, so ultron and stark have always been my favorite. The Grammer of this story could use a little work but no one is perfect. The story is original and crisp. It's  nice reading something that doesn't read like every other story on here. Keep up the good work author. I hope this one gets an ending because just as Tony creates souls. Authors create worlds. Can't wait to see the rest of this one.
