  this work displays far superior quality to many of the other stories on this site. this is clearly the work of an experienced author and will likely end up as a book at some point.

  Well written superhero stories are rare, but this is a good one. Yeah, the MC is reluctant to use his powers, but that only makes him bland if you like massively overpowered Ooh, Which of His Ten Thousand Powers Will The Hero Use This Time stories. Perfect grammar, interesting if a little whiny protagonist, action scenes I can actually visualize, what more do you want?

  Your first 2 books worth was a good read, but its time to take a step back and look at where you are going. I would personaly pull book 3 Dilate down for now. The new villian feels like a tackon to fill space like this is a procedural drama. You already have 1 shadow group walking around with enough active threats. Your heros side has some of the same issue, I have started to loss tracking on who is who and why I should even care. The fight scene you just had was so full of moving parts that it was machanical and not engaging. You have also set up a world where with this many powers no fight should drag on for the 7th hero to arrive from 4 countries over with his super flight to some how change the tide of battle.(almost like this sentence and just a pointless)

  Cranium9 said the tone of the story changed out of nowhere in chapter 1.09 and that didn't make sense. That's like saying the tone of spidermans story changed out of nowhere whne he put on a suit and started swinging around like a monkey in a concrete jungle to hunt down criminals. Of course it changed throughout the first arc, it's an origin story, like any other.
  And I don't know what Boronzinc and Munch are talking aobut either, the protagonist isn't bland, he's just not some gung ho moron too edgy to be an actual adult. The author does a good job of portraying him as an actual human, an average joe with the twist that he has superpowers and hates it. Then gets dragged into some bullshit hero vs villain conflict he never wanted any part in because he can read between the lines and actually see that it's all bullshit and he's better off as a janitor than risking his life in a thankless dead-end hero job.
  This apparently is 'bland' to them, but contrary to their words, he's quite unique, most stories of this kind have hero worshippers as the protagonists, hell, even the chick in Worm was a hero worshipper, all the others are either hero worshippers or hero haters, whereas in this story, the guy just doesn't want any part in any of it, heros, villains and vigilantes, it all seems like a pain in the ass to him compared to just living a regular life.
  Now I haven't read that much of the story, I'm just at 1.11 when I write this but so far I've been reasonably impressed. The quality is a notch above the average 'decent story' on royalroad.
  That all said, Munch did have a point that we haven't been given much reason to care about any of the characters besides the protagonist yet, a common problem for writers but in this story it could prove fatal if this doesn't improve. I've seen worse though, it's not a crime if the characters aren't instantly loveable.

  Boronzinc has no idea what he's talking about.  Tofu is both amusing and interesting.  No comparison.

  I liked it until 1.09 then the whole tone of the story changed out of nowhere. it just did not make any sense to me.

  The protagonist's an extremely bland idiot. The writing's pretty decent, but it can't make up for not having reason to give a shit about any of the characters.

  Here is a nice skeleton of a story. Bones are there. Structure they give is solid, robust. But it isn't fleshed out yet. It lacks meat, tendons... things that carry it, that make it moving. And thus it doesn't draw you in so much.
  There are several issues at play here. One is - of course - the superpowers. It's really hard to write a good supers story. Powers make storybuilding tougher. They force you to think in a completely wacky manner, allow the impossible and therefore make it difficult to plot.
  And that is just the beginning! What is the ratio of powered to non-powered individuals? How did the technology progressed due to powers? How one gets powers? Which powers are received? Is this a unique, case by case process? Or can you affect it? If you run a lot, will you be a speedster? If you read a lot, will you read faster or will your intelligence reach inhuman levels? For each combat power, how much non-combat powers there are? How did the world change? Were there wars? Are powers global in scale? Can a nuke-power-wielder walk freely? Why? How often people lose control over their powers?
  Then, specifically in combat, we have the old saying from, I think, Rurouni Kenshin. That everybody is looking for a one hit, one kill technique. The instant death. How do you make combat interesting, if it's always "I use my powers so creatively, that you died before you realized it"?
  And there's the power spectrum: what if a person gets a world ending power? Instant core shattering. World goes supernova now. I-am-moon level gravity control.
  Yeah, superpowers are super-difficult to write. Most stories fail here, this one does too. Some powers are IMBA (The Anarchist should rule the world by now with what he/she has showed), some are nerfed (super intelligence), some evolve as they need (Nate's).
  MC halo is strong in this one as well. That's... OK, mostly. Problem is, Nate is slightly too emo for this to work. And kinda... too mysterious. Author is rather stingy in his reveals.

  I don't like the MC. his monologue is so confusing and down right deppresing. Trauma or not, you can't stay mentally unhealthy after living with a loving foster parents.
  The theme is so dark. It only state the worse of humanity. For me. "Being hero is a thankless job" kind of story atmosphere.
  I find the fighting scene hard to follow. I need to reread many phrases to vaguely follow who's fighting who.
  The action of the MC is conflicting for my taste. Is he really sane?

  All the mc has done is complain, btch, and be a psy when he came to he was more worried about his arm not the fact that he was just threatened with his family and had part of his arm bitten off overall the mc is just a whining little btch
