Super Sales on Super Heroes Kindle Edition

This is not a deep story, but a fun one. The main elements that make this story surprisingly great:-Buildup of his own empire from scratch-Villain doing good superhero stuff with villain's flare to it-Some trading-Cool tech/inventions-Light harem action-Character growth/leveling (specifically litRPG style, some will like others won't)-Interesting abilities (typical of the super genre)Only things that really nag me after reading this story:-Start premise was a bit weak, but it was brief and we moved on so that's good-The end. It was done poorly/rushed. Should have had another 10-15 pages setting everything right and tying up loose ends.-The main character getting his hands dirty there at the end. Should have stayed true to form and found a way to get the job done using his own unique talents/characteristics. (Everything after reaching the elevator bottom was garbage.)-Who was really the bad guy here? Yeah we kind of got a vague answer, but the point to the conflict was really vague and glossed over. He's just always under attack for what turns out to be a pretty thin reason that's answered in basically 2 or 3 sentences on a random page towards the end.Despite those few flaws, this is really one of the best books of it's type I've read in a year or two. Not many come out with with these plot elements that are done well. (Similar recent non-super examples would include the Stavin Dragonblessed series by Loren K. Jones, ALICE by Charles Lamb, Wild Wastes by Randi Darren, and Destiny's Crucible by Olan Thorensen.) Keeps you turning the page for sure. Short enough for a half-day read.I don't generally like most "super" stories, but this one was very solid. I'll buy the next in the series without waiting for reviews.

This has a great start giving it good potential... quickly shat on. Story quite literally explodes and takes off faster then a scifi space ship going into hyper drive. The antagonist... which barely even deserves the term is not a person but a group. A group of about two or three possibilities, that if you read you could guess. The action I found to be more heavily crippling to the story making it more crappy. SIGNIFICANTLY less "action" would have made this story way better and less a super cheap teen read. Mentioning guns and robots in the story never at any point seems fluid, just tacky with how it's shoved in for flashyness. The harem aspect only further cheapens everything with the wish fulfillment feel. Story is in need of at the extreme total total least... an extra 5-10 chapters. With how the pacing is, it gives feeling that entire chapters are in between some paragraphs, or other chapters. The pacing is just waaay too damn fast. The total lack of seeming limits to his power is above and beyond absurdly convenient. The convenience decimates any possible tension. I had not even an iota of surprise that he could raise the dead. Near the end my quite literally only surprise was he was not best pals, business partner or something with the villain who ruled the city.On a possibly highly irrelevant note.This story very strongly reminded me of something I forget I read many years ago. It was a total crap sex fiction on some site... somewhere. Guy got power to change bodies and stuff. Makes harem. Cures people for cash. Ends up with a cult and fortress full of seemingly brain dead females wanting to have sex. From what I recall as awful as the heavily chauvinistic story was... it had better pacing then spontaneously rich, with a fortress, and army, seemingly, overnight... The ending for Super Sales in Super Heroes is also not satisfying. Just BAM! kicked the enemies ass BAM! happy ending........ that's it. :/

The title alone got my attention when it popped up while browsing Amazon. I grabbed the sample, read the first couple sentences, and bought the full book. Super Sales was one of the most fun reads I've had in ages. I could compare this to the likes of Kim Harrison, who has been one of my favorites since DWW, but I digress. You want to know about Super Sales.Get it. Read it. Don't wait, don't think about it, just do it. This book was like reading a video game, but better. The alternative history/urban fantasy base works in a unique way for Super Sales, not just giving you a "what if" scenario, but giving it to you with a twist that works perfectly. The RPG and even FPS elements were strong, driving the plot and action, and the characters were all unique, even lovable. Yes, I have my favorites.Frankly, I'd absolutely LOVE an open world PC game based on this book. You'd end up with a multi-genre game with near infinite replayability. I know I'd never stop playing it. As it is, I just finished the book and am immediately considering reading it again, starting now. I've never enjoyed a book so much that I started rereading it immediately.Thank you, Mr. Arand. You've got a masterpiece with Super Sales on Super Heroes. Please, please write a sequel. I'll be waiting patiently and looking forward to it.

You'll either really enjoy this work or hate it. It's not for everyone. Call it a guilty pleasure, or an adolescent male power fantasy or whatever. Some of us love this kind of thing, other do not. I'd recommend you don't take it too seriously if you want to enjoy it. I know that a lot of things happen a bit too conveniently for the protagonist, people adjust to the idea of being slaves a bit too easily even if there are reasons some of them are happy about the benefits it gives them. The protag's ability is way too overpowered, even when it limited by being useless to him unless he owns people. There's also a bit of a plot hole where we're being told that he's getting the power to use his abilities by drawing off the abilities of others and they lose the use of those abilities while he's doing this, yet in the later chapters he seems to have full use of all the points his people could give him, with no sign that anyone is being deprived of their abilities in turn. I also found it a little irritating that some heroines who seem important during the first half of the book and who we're encouraged to grow attached too, seem to be abitrarily be ignored, never appearing and only being mentioned occasionally second hand, for numerous chapters. Only being brought back for the dramatic events at the climax of the novel.There are a few problems that the author could improve on, yes. Yet for some reason I couldn't stop reading it in spite of all that and other than those foibles I enjoyed most of it.Like I said, guilty pleasures. I'm likely just indulging my immature side that just wants to imagine having a incredible ability, going from nobody to leading a major power and being surrounded by beautiful young women who'd do anything for me. If that appeals to you too you may enjoy it. So long as you aren't too bothered by the idea of a slightly immoral protag who mainly focuses on how other benefit him unless certain others prick his conscience and make him do the right thing, but would otherwise calmly dispose of anyone who inconveniences him. It also occasionally gets graphic in the violent parts. There's no real sexual content though, for those who are bothered by that. If you find all that offensive though, or are looking something deep and based firmly in real life values and morality, then you'll probably rate it low. Don't say I didn't warn you.

An awesome new series, I love this authors books and this new series does not let down. While it may sound so different from his first series it is if anything even better and so I can't wait for the next book in the series. The one down side is that the last third of the book feels a little more rushed than the rest as it seems to contain less detail than the rest which is a shame but even with that it is still a great book.

I enjoyed it a lot. The main character is understandably morally ambiguous and goal driven, but does have definite limits and does have a heart. As the main character gently builds up his empire, you get to learn he's really a sympathetic character living in an unjust world that you just have to root for.

A very different background for a super novel. The protagonist is neither a Hero nor a villain in a city that's fallen to rulership by a Villain, instead striving to be 'decent', but coming into conflict with the city's new rulers and external forces attempting to gain the city back for the forces of 'good'.I really enjoyed it and with what seem a number of unfinished threads, expect another in the series.

I want more. That single sentence is the best review I can write.Needless to say... It has a fun, unique and fairly interesting setting and a decent lead character that matches it. The supporting characters were great with a certain girl making me smile every scene she was in. The book is far from perfect, but for the price I would recommend this to anyone who likes a bit of sci-fi, fantasy, superheroes and a dash of romance (granted not massively developed romance).
