The Supernormal
Community Rating
Description
In a world where fantasy has become everyday, one man stands against absurdity.
The local Tower stomps through the streets. Any hedge could contain a witch. Walls regularly crumble, though none more often than the fourth. In the magical city of Blackpool, all ridiculousness is possible, and it takes everything for Jack Of All Trades to survive.
Badly, at that.
Perpetually late with his rent, he'll take up arms for any paying customer in order to fulfill his quest. His obstacles include polka-loving ghosts, card-game playing vampires, and the most vicious monsters of all: copyright lawyers. When he's joined by an arrogant magus and an insecure vampire, his life gets even more complicated, but no matter what kind of infuriating choose-your-own-adventure he finds himself on, one constant remains—his rent is due at the end of the month.
On second thoughts, maybe he should stay in bed.
The Supernormal isn't your average web-novel. It's an urban fantasy parody that saunters through a world full of the absurd, delighting in poking fun at popular media, widely-accepted ideas, and often itself. Story arcs only loosely connect through the characters, who are themselves slowly fleshed out as the story continues. Think ofDiscworldmeetsThe Dresden FilesmeetsGintama.
This novel won't be for everyone, but if it is for you, you're in for a hell of a ride.

- mikemcdonald2ndRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0This doesn't have nearly the love and appreciation it deserves. I've been on the internet long enough to know that everybody here enjoys a good parody, and all of them are missing out if they aren't reading this. Wit bleeds through the pages— er, screen scrolls of this webnovel while also still delivering on a plot rich with varied characters and a premise free of the usual constraints of fantasy stories.
