*puts crazy pants on head as a hat*
In all due seriousness, the crazy is utterly justified by the set-up over the course of the entire series, and pretty darn well executed. Character growth, some fairly solid progressions in education within the provided framework, and a very enjoyable read.
And, coming back to it a fifth time, yep, this series really makes me happy every single time.

'She'd been around enough Heroes to know that sometimes, they just had to beat the living hell out of each other. But in a friendly way.'

Very well written and engrossing. But why does it need to be this long? Almost didn't read this series because of the length of the last two books.

Still lots of fun, still on board to find out what happens to all the characters soon, but also finally need a bit of the break before I dive into another thousand pages of writing that gets a bit cringy in places.

Year 3 arrived and things are even more complicated than before.
I realised something. Did any of you grow up watching anime (or reading manga) that is long, usually shounen and has a million arcs? Some of them typical for all. They usually have a tournament arc, some kind of epic, midfuck-y fight, usually a couple fun episodes with things like characters going to the beach or having to wear costumes/uniforms for a bit. Parents show up and turn out to be more important than you thought. Someone presumed to be dead, but still alive.
Yep. This series is basically that, in a novel format.
If you like it, you will love this. It's not the best written stuff, some things are cringe and sometimes sentences are awkward as hell. I'm pretty sure the author forgot about some things and characters halfway through. Sometimes the characterization is not super consistent.
But you will have fun with it.
Now this specific volume had some things that made me roll my eyes that didn't even pay off (EHMspoiler:EHM), but I am still into it.
I would also like more time spent on certain characters, like Dean Blaine or Sean Pendleton. Then again, I'm probably just getting old when I relate to the teachers more than to the protagonist kids. That's life, I suppose.
All in all, still a good read, even if the books are getting damn long. For my very first web serial, this was a super solid choice.

Still as fantastic as the first two books, but this book was a little different in tone. Nick had a semi-separate storyline, Hershel was hardly in it at all (but the increased time spent on Roy was good) and there was a lot more Chad and Angela (which was pretty great). The climax of the book was awesome - an epic battle where we finally got to see Heroes kicking ass.
