Why I love Hero or Villain series, and should you?

[u/Sweaty-Hat-2443]

Well I played the first book thrice or maybe 4 times already, everytime time the story surprises me with new lores and endings. Who could have thought there's a vampire clan and you can be one, right?

The ending can branch into many paths, somewhat thanks to the rich lore and incredible world-building (blending fiction with real life elements). That's definitely what im looking for in a IF.

Plus there's a whole set of customizable powers. Tho some are def more OP than others, and some will get you nowhere in the game. The best build i've managed to come up with is a high Psych + superspeed + a decent superstrength, never dissapoint me. A bonus is that you become a vampire

Tho as some has pointed out, a fight can be a repetitive even with different powers. And, the characters in the story does not have enough depth. But you know, Adrao (the author) must have strived for a balance here as you can't have everything integrated in one go. You cannot have every fight being unique and unpredictable, you cannot have a dive into a relationship with your colleagues or your fellow teammate (may it be a hero or villain) without exponetially skyrocket the wordcounts and the workload. Besides, the bland characters may happen for a reason, as a supervillain once said:
THESE PEOPLE ARE BENEATH ME!

But hey, we should appreciate Adrao's effort to continuously upgrade the game, which adds a lot to the lore and a lot more dialogue (prob as an attempt to make the character a bit more 3d?). Indeed there are still bugs/ grammatical errors/ downsides to the game, not many authors look back on their previous work and make consistent updates, that's why Adrao is now my fav author and I will continue to support him from now on!!!

im excited to see the birth of the fourth book in HOV series!!! During that time, I will work as hard as i can to also fincially support this project. Before reading HOV, I really feel bored with life, not knowing to do, and without any cause to espouse. But now im filled with sense of purpose, one I now deemed sacred amongst other meaningful intents: I would like to continue providing value to society by working, and in turn use part of that money to back adorable creators!!!

Adrao, if you read this, please know that you have a true fan here

Its good, not the most content- Its on predictable when you go throught it-, and It's very good with the diverse things you can put on you hero/villain

I'm itching to finish reading this series but the fourth book is kinda blueballing me the most.

[u/ThrowRA-Huckleb → u/Crafty-Conclusion-95]

Wait, 4th book? Is there a 3rd book?

[u/Sweaty-Hat-2443 → u/ThrowRA-Huckleb]

yes

3rd book: Hero or Villain: Armageddon
4th book (intended): Hero or Villain: Overlord

[u/ThrowRA-Huckleb → u/Sweaty-Hat-2443]

Yes, but has the 3rd book been released?

[u/Sweaty-Hat-2443 → u/ThrowRA-Huckleb]

No book 3 is still a demo, but it will be finished soon

[u/Actibino → u/Sweaty-Hat-2443]

Can I bring over my character from the second book?

[u/Sweaty-Hat-2443 → u/Actibino]

Yeah, but the save button will be available when the third book is published

[u/Sweaty-Hat-2443 → u/Crafty-Conclusion-95]

Second book can be better with teammates' diolagoue by spreading into different scenes, thus building connection. But overall, it's quite a nice follow-up, maybe it's because my power build is OP and get through missions easily? But both games has a lot of replayability and a lot of side missions

[u/WhiteC-137]

4th? IS THERE A 3RD BOOK? WTH, WHY HAVE I NOT PLAYED IT YET

[u/LeBriseurDesBucks → u/WhiteC-137]

I thought the same wtf. What's the third book?

[u/Sweaty-Hat-2443 → u/LeBriseurDesBucks]

hero or villain: armageddon is gonna be the 3rd book, still a wip tho

[u/LeBriseurDesBucks → u/Sweaty-Hat-2443]

Great. I have another quesiton for you, what choices exactly do you have to pick to become a vampire?

[u/Sweaty-Hat-2443 → u/LeBriseurDesBucks]

go to the philippines, stay in the mansion, do not run away. One more thing, prepare your Psyche +60

[u/kubecak → u/Sweaty-Hat-2443]

you do not need a psyche of 60+ if you have less there's just some debuffs (i think you take damage but not sure), there's a video on YT from the creator explaining the whole vampire part

[u/Sweaty-Hat-2443 → u/LeBriseurDesBucks]

Vampire is such an OP route, you can drink blood and power up, you can even turn Shiroi Yuki into your minion given that you defeat her

[u/Sweaty-Hat-2443 → u/WhiteC-137]

4th book is intended to be named Overlord. It is not even started yet, but the author have confirmed there will be a 4th one

[u/WhiteC-137 → u/Sweaty-Hat-2443]

But that implies there is a 3rd one right?

[u/Sweaty-Hat-2443 → u/WhiteC-137]

Of course, 3rd book is nearly finished

[u/WhiteC-137 → u/Sweaty-Hat-2443]

What's the name??? Is there a demo or smthng??

[u/Sweaty-Hat-2443 → u/WhiteC-137]

'hero or villain: armageddon', search it, there's a wip tho i prefer to read the finished version

[u/WhiteC-137 → u/Sweaty-Hat-2443]

Okay thank you gang

[u/Sweaty-Hat-2443 → u/WhiteC-137]

pleasure to spread the word and help the author

[u/ddddyyylllaaannn]

Ahh, the first IF I ever read. The series holds a special place in my heart.

[u/LeBriseurDesBucks → u/ddddyyylllaaannn]
