Those Summer Fights

A LitRPG Superhero Adventure (The Hero Game, Volume 4)

De: August Aird

Narrado por: Robin Shay

The city faces threat after threat—the defenders are stretched too thin.

Jack Jenkins, aka the Boxer, and his superteam the Knuckleheads are getting a chance to prove themselves. If they can step up to the challenge then they will become a City Level team, with all the prestige and rewards that entails.

When increasingly powerful mutant monstrosities start attacking, the team finds themselves potentially out matched.

They have to struggle to just survive, all under the watchful eye of the beautiful cop assigned to evaluate them.

An even bigger threat looms over them—whatever is making these monsters is perfecting the process, and if the Knuckleheads can’t stop them soon, it will be too late.

The Hero Game: Those Summer Fights is a superhero LitRPG adventure for discerning adults.

Excellent all-around

As a whole, the series is a rather well done Superhero-litRPG (Gamelit? Whatever we call them now).

This one in particular is the chapter in which the MC’s powers and personal life start scaling up, so he’s forced to dash to and fro trying to keep up with a double life. It’s a familiar episode, but reasonably well executed.

My sole complaint *SPOILER ALERT* is that after credits scene. Really, August? We’re doing the Green Goblin Jr. thing? That was arguably the worst part of the Raimi spiderman movies.
