Description

In a multiverse ravaged by darkness and eternal conflict, a universe ended up being saved from destruction.

Pygmalio, a transcendent being who helped save this world, had an idea. To create a being to save other universes, collecting the souls of transmigators—beings reincarnated from various other worlds—and fusing them, he created the Library of Memories.

Giving the Library to a new form of life he created that was meant to give the salvation he himself experienced to other universes.

Hoping to spread his vision of happiness, he sends the soul of this newborn being to the darkest corners of the multiverse. Giving him a farewell gift, a very special power, and the library to guide him.

The world in need ended up being one that is a mix of DC Comics, Marvel, and many more, where the light of hope begins to fade and the boundary with darkness slowly approaches. But many changes have occurred in this world to end up like this.

In Gotham, a city marked by despair and the ongoing battle against crime, Batman faces a powerful magical villain, unaware that their clash will alter the fate of all. At the end of this battle, the protagonist is born: a being created from the mysterious power that his creator grafted onto his soul, with a teenager's body but a child's mind.

Remembering some of the hero tales that his creator gave him while he was traveling through the multiverse, he tries to figure out how to make better the world with the library acting as the grumpy guide of this newly born soul.

But as the hero fights on for a better tomorrow, dark forces from the multiverse draw near, and a new cycle of battle for the greater good is about to begin.

    After reading this story I decided to create an account to review it. Before justifying my opinion I must state I am a friend of the author, just as a disclaimer.
    - Story: I'm not a Marvel nor DC fan and I have very limited knowledge of all things superhero, yet I felt the story pulled me in. The mysteries and enigmas are being solved at a reasonable pace. You see something new in each chapter, there's no filling. The narration is fluid, with a nice blend of tranquil scenes and frenetic action, of humor and darker stuff.
    There is a light presence of more gore-y imagery throughout the fanfiction, though nothing unexpected. It can be skipped without missing much if you wish.
    - Characters: Again, I know little of the official characters so I cannot judge how canon compliant is their portrayal (and the author has warned that things might be changed to better fit the story, so it's not an issue). The author has managed to make them entertaining and well-balanced. Everything from their skills (or lack of thereof) to the emotions they go through is justifyied and clearly understood. You see them grow as the story goes on.
    -Style: Unfortunately the author is, at the moment, not consistent with the formatting of the story. Sometimes you'll see dialogue in some way and sometimes in others. Same with paragraphs, but you won't see walls of text; it is readable.
    -Grammar: For not being an English native the grammar is good enough. It's easy to understand what's going on, although the word choice and syntax feels off at times. I'd personally advise to write the story directly in English instead of in the native language and then translating it, as I think the author has the level required, but I know that can feel daunting.
    Once it's finished I'll write my definitive review, but for now I'd say the plot is promising and the story is truly worthwhile. Keep writing my friend!
