This story is about: The daily life of a teenager named Alden growing up, slowly growing his powers, and figuring out who he really wants to be in a universe with Systems, superheroes, and extraterrestrial wizards.
Readers can expect: character focused drama, slice of life, darkness, comedy, occasional disaster, school life, and extensive world building. I like a little danger with my alien beverage etiquette.
Super Supportive will be very, very long.
Everyone wants superpowers, including Alden Thorn.
He's got determination on his side and maybe a murderous alien desk clerk, too. But his dream of being a battlefield support hero depends on him being chosen by the extraterrestrial System that's been running things on Earth for decades.
And there's a bigger, more complicated universe waiting out there for those with magic. One that will challenge him and change him in ways he never could have expected.

I love this story. Yes, a big thing happens some time after the first big plot arc, you don't need to wait that long for it.
Some months after Alden gets off the 6 month "fighting for his life" arc on Moon Thegund... For 1 day, a chaos demon fight thing breaks out on Earth at around chapter 140ish or 150ish, and the ocean lashes out at Anesidora. Alden got a high priority teleport, stayed behind to help someone, and got stuck at ground zero. They get saved and he continues to enjoy life, though that event will have long term impacts on anesidora.
I enjoy it for the slice of life, it maintains some stakes in the background since Alden has to hide the true extent of his abilities. But somehoe it's enjoyable to read about
Superhero high school. The characters are compelling, realistic. Not just simple teenage drama, fortunately, though there is some of that, Alden doesn't engage in it much.
This is not some depressing, grim hero story where the protagonist never takes a break and gets thrown into one disaster after the other. You can find a bunch of those on RR.
The author is great at having a large cast of named characters that also have personality and touches of character development -- it brings the story alive. Reading this feels like a warm hug. I love Alden's character -- sure he's "special" but there are other special people too, and he's humble. His progression is reasonable and he still has flaws like general strength and close quarters combat. And when Big Plot Things happen it's exciting.
Oh, and the world building is amazingly detailed and consistent. I love reading about it and Artonan culture. Interludes of other characters' backgrounds don't happen much, but when they do they're a treat.
The best slice of life novel I've ever read!

The author has a unique and cozy style of writing, comparable to having a long day of work and coming home to your mother's signature dish that you miss. Everything seems to be in place, like it was meant to be. Tickling that small part of my brain that excretes that happy stuff. I hope the author doesn't have that rabbit skill.
The story isn't that slow, to be honest. I like reading world-building stuff after subjecting myself to that fool who sits on his throne beneath the fog. Most novels after that didn't really sit well with me until I found Super Supportive. Good world-building is what makes me want to stay and reach the end of a novel. It's like the author was a recluse and was waiting for the right time to surprise us. I hope I can live long enough to see the end of this great book.
The grammar and punctuation were already perfect and all in place by the time I was reading from chapter 1 to the latest chapter. But I do try to read most of the comments and reviews at the end of every chapter. The comments were even engaging. Deducing the upgrades and effects of different skills, character personalities, and their reactions to their different relationships, and even just admiring how funny some characters reacted to specific instances. But seriously though, I'm glad that Kibby survived. Phew!
The characters are real. They are alive in a different dimension. 5D? Yeah, that.
Super well written Superhero System story!

While still a bit early on in it's release schedule, Super Supportive has exceeded my expectations in terns of story, the depth of it's world building, and the strength of it's characters. The system is well thought out and surprisingly deep, even as it's just now being explored. Definitely worth the read and follow.
Slow Moving But Solid
Reviewed at: TWENTY-SEVEN: Boater
This story is a little slow moving and you really feel the slow update pace, but I think those are literally the only complaints I have, 27 chapters in.
This is a pretty fresh take on the superhero genre, in that there's a lot of lore and world building that backs up what superheroes are and why they are, which I personally find a lot of fun to slowly explore.
Grammar and style are excellent, I feel like the author has a fantastic grasp of when to keep moving versus when to linger in the scenes and go into more detail.
The characters and story are kind of hard to review right now - Promising, I'd say, but even 27 chapters in I don't feel like I've really seen them get pushed yet. It's pretty clear we're winding up for some big stuff, though. I want to see them get punched in the mouth before I lock in my final opinion on characterization, but I'd be pretty shocked if I didn't like how it's handled, given that I've liked everything so far.
Overall I think this is well worth your time, even if Superhero/LitRPG stuff isn't your normal forte, this could easily just be a good YA novel, to be honest. This is worth crossing genres for.
I will say - I think if you don't like it by chapter 5, you're not going to like it. The writing is very consistent and the tone and pacing also stay very consistent, so there's not really any like, "well you have to give Gurren Lagann until Episode 8 at least" type thing going on here - it's kinda what you get on the tin, and there's nothing wrong with that!
More please.

You know it's good when you can't wait for more. This story is high quality all around. Good grammar, believable and likeable characters/dialogue, solid pacing, fluid storyline. The only way I see this having a chance of failing is if the writer stops caring or if the pacing changes dramatically.
Real characters and real consequences.

Read it, its good.
As the title suggests, this story, despite its outlandish premise and world (especially off-earth), manages to remain grounded in a way other similar stories do not. It is captivating throughout, and one of my favourite stories on this website without a shadow of a doubt.
Great superhero book
Reviewed at: TWENTY-SEVEN: Boater
The setup for the MC (prior to his acquisiton of powers) has been really well done. Moreover, there is a driving factor that helps the reader unstand why powers are important.
Secondly, the chapters are longer (which I love) and there is a unique compelling aspect of the story. It isn't super strength or a basic power pushing the MC forward. Very intrigued where this will go.
Read it, it’s Worth It
Reviewed at: ONE HUNDRED NINETY-SEVEN: Flashes IX
One of the best stories I’ve ever read. One of the most believable worlds I’ve ever seen crafted, especially one based on a low fantasy setting which I find runs the risk of being more polluted by worldly baggage.
The Alien race feels like a real race. Not just rehashed human culture, but genuinely a group of people with their own way of life.
The characters feel real. Their goals, their backgrounds, it all just screams consistent motivation. I even love to hate Winston because I can tell he isn’t being an ass to be an antagonist. He life decision made him prioritize things that results in his choices.
The power system is simple enough that picking it up is easy, but deep enough that you can see how everyone results in having the way they fight with similar spells still be unique.
Highly recommend the read, and keep up the good work :)
stroy is slow chronologically, feels really fast
Reviewed at: Ritual of Return
I can tell you for sure the stroy is slow and has too many words, but the author writes so perfectly and the style and presentation is so great that its thrilling.
the character is not really strong right now, but he FEELS strong Really strong. Great story with a power system that has huge and vague potential.
This is a must read.
