This story has been thoroughly enjoyable and had me laughing on many occasions. It's an excellent take on a MCU alternate reality influenced by someone transferring from our reality. I've hardly been able to put it down since discovering it, and I'm eagerly looking forward to seeing where this story goes.

So good! Worth reading if you like anti heroes. Rough start, so give it 3 chapters and then it’s a non stop horse race of fun. Mc is smart, while also keeping the villain vibes alive. No harem, but it does have multiple girls in it. Worth reading if you like marvel and time travel

Big ol' hearty chapters of Marvel based wish fulfillment fantasy. I've been out of Marvel stuff for ages since it all started going down hill, but you don't need to remember anything to enjoy this. It just goes up and up and up because comic book universes just keep going.
It's a fun break from all the system novels. Numbers are very rare here, because the ultra rich don't really bother with exact numbers.

Don't read many mcu fanfics but this one's been pretty fun to read. The story's using the preexisting set pieces of the MCU to good effect and to guide it to a entertaining direction.
Characters definitely have their own personalities such that you can tell whos who.
Not a nerd about the MCU, but still know a little more than the movies. Occasionally had to look up a character, but not enough to be a bother.
Would recommend!

I really like where the author is taking the story, The antagonist really works well and the author knows the IP well enough to make a fantastic build up. Very easy to read, I haven't really noticed any major grammatical errors. The chapters are nice and long. For a fan fiction / web fiction this is top tier, highly recommend.

Biggest problem is the hiatus tbh...I'm halfway in and I worry atm. So far everything is done masterfully, the way the mcu should be handled, instead of the way it is.
Truly hope there's an ending coming, I don't mind how long it is but an ending is needed for any story to be good.

I like the story and I like the writing. Both are very good.
The OC character Hammer is done well. I like that he uses money and knowledge as his own super power. And that, as a kind of, villain he doesn't shy from using everything and everyone at his disposal.
The side characters feel a bit underwhelming to me and I'd like to see them be fleshed out more. Or some are given a bigger role to play.
That this world is a mix of X-Men and MCU kind of does the story a disservice, I feel. I would have liked to see less characters and more focus and only a couple of them. Even the MC complains about all the secret cabals.
All in all though I enjoyed reading this story and will follow it as it goes on.

I went into this expecting a generic SI fanfic. And well, it is that, but it's a refined generic SI fanfic.
Our protagonist is a supervillain much in the same sense that Google, Apple, Microsoft and The Coca-Cola Company are supervillains.
He doesn't go out of his way to do bad things, but he's willing to do just about anything for a profit. Or when he's just in a hurry. This mostly means human experimentation and shady backroom deals.
Although like in most SI marvel fics the protagonist does get powers (or rather grants himself ones), It happens gradually, slowly, and the purpose of them is mostly just as contingencies to keep him alive in the worst case scenario, it's not like he's going out and fighting with them. His fights are the kind that are fought with money and politics.
Overall I'm pretty impressed. So why not 5 stars?
It's simple.
Too horny.
Some of the female characters are reduced to a state where they might as well have been picked right out of hentai manga and dropped into this story, and the only real explanation is that the author was horny.
I've come to quite like romance recently, but this story has none of that, just a protagonist that sometimes likes getting laid. My biggest issue with it is how he gets laid, women just falling in his lap as a wealthy and powerful man ain't that strange, but come on, at least make it more believable. You get brownie points for not making the protagonist some kind of virtuous saint whose peen shall stay within his pants forvermore... But you lose them, and then some for just not unzipping those pants the right way.
Besides this, the only issue really is pacing pains. Sometimes the pace is nice and fast, sometimes it slows down so much that it barely feels like it's moving, this story could benefit a lot from more controlled pacing.

It feels like a very beleivable villain. Justin isn't just some evil madman, or some crazy ideolog like Thanos. He just really likes power. He isn't pointlessly sadistic, and he isn't just a good guy who makes money.
It's about what you'd expect from a well written evil business tycoon in a comic universe. If that idea appeals to you, then you'll like this.

The writing in this fic is solid, at first and then slowly but surely everyone starts becoming dumber and dumber. While only the mc has the brains and only he can stop WW3 and only he can etc, etc.
And then most of the women just start to open their legs to him because...plot. Also what is the point of having someone isekai'd but have the original character stay the same except with future knowledge?
80% of the side characters are cool, most of the time. I like Domino and the situation with the black widow. The issue is the mc has a mid level vilain mindset even though he operates on the world stage.
Since the mc is mid, the universe has to bend over forward, sideways and backwards just to make sure the mc hits the bullseye. The situation with Wakanda is a prime example.
I was hoping to see some kind of growth and realization from the MC but nope. Just mid.
Not to dissuade the author. The story and settings and powerplay are cool. Most of the side characters are cool. Some of the byplay between the mc and his sidekicks are funny. My main issue is the mc, his fixations and how the story got to what it got to after the wakanda situation.
The author could have gotten to the same conclusion without dumbing down the characters.
