by Maxime J. Durand (Void Herald)
The Perfect Run is now available on Amazon and Audible: Volume 1 (Audiobook), Volume 2 (Audiobook), Volume 3
Ryan "Quicksave" Romano is an eccentric adventurer with a strange power: he can create a save-point in time and redo his life whenever he dies. Arriving in New Rome, the glitzy capital of sin of a rebuilding Europe, he finds the city torn between mega-corporations, sponsored heroes, superpowered criminals, and true monsters. It's a time of chaos, where potions can grant the power to rule the world and dangers lurk everywhere.
Ryan only sees different routes; and from Hero to Villain, he has to try them all. Only then will he achieve his perfect ending... no matter how many loops it takes.
The Perfect Run updates on Tuesday and Saturday. Cover by Vitaly S. Alexius.

Incredibly fun and brilliant story
Reviewed at: 130: Farewell, New Rome (Ending)
Had an absolute blast reading this. Ryan is such a charming character who's humour never felt too heavy handed for me and his good hearted nature made it enjoyable to constantly root for him. Excellent supporting cast and the plot was phenomenal. Excellent story and well worth it's place in the top 3.

A masterpiece

The work has a perfect beginning, middle and end. She manages to turn a time loop into something fun, each loop is unique and brings necessary information to Ryan.
The secrets and plot that the work brings were great, there was no information filling or lack of information.
The character interactions were wonderful, all the characters had their personality and charisma.
10/10
Note: For those who don't like a steampunk comedy with lots of references, this work may not be your thing in the initial chapters.

this is probs my most favourate novel

the amount of insanity in this novel is amazing xD and random stuff, im not really sure what else to write besides if your borderline mentally insane it will make you laugh alot :D, the word count thingy is quite annoying the fact i got to write 50 words is probs really the only downside of this thing

A fun ride

This story was very well written. It was fun and silly while also being emotional and addressing many aspects of the human condition. A fun ride that kept you guessing and characters that were believable even in unbelievable circumstances. The perfect amount of flashbacks to fill in the gaps without overdoing it.

Extremely fun to read, while still very clever and flawlessly written. Time-travel is a tricky business, but it's executed absolutely perfectly here, and honestly it's all so well-made, well-put that I don't have much to say ! The humor is similar to that of Vainqueur the Dragon, with the added freedom of abundant pop culture references and absolutely no consequences whatsoever. I'm a bit embarassed to have so few words for this review, but all you guys have to know is that it's amazing ? I guess ?
Thanks a lot for writing this masterpiece !

Absolutely Fabulous!

This story was the first story in so many years to get me truly hyped about reading again, was on the edge of my seat the entire ride, well worth the 5/5 for me chief! Such fascinating powers and genomes, with the source of them being so interesting, and with proper and convicting character development, this truly was Perfect!

epic

Author is a genius at comedic sci-fi and fantasy. Great worldbuilding, memorable MC, ok is supporting cast.
Not as good as V&V from VtD - which shows the benefits having a straight man to blend with the comedic and disruptive MC. Solid effort for any book - 5 stars on RR standards.

There but forgotten, (Tale of a buzzer)

This book was amazing, the emotions in it felt so real and tangible. This is one of the few books that I have read that has impacted me. I still feel bad for some of the characters that were wiped from existence. While this book is easily in my top 3, I did notice a missed opportunity. Not once did Quicksave use the hand buzzer that was found on his person while trying to get into the Bakuto casino.

Near Perfect.

I loved this story. The writing is great. The main character is flippant without being too goofy. The Problem he has to solve is a unique one and the general approach of the book towards its premise is fun.
That's one thing I want to stress: This book is fun. There are times where it gets emotional as the stakes raise, but if I think about my experience while reading it, it just comes down to: Fun.
It's the 3rd highest rated book on the site so I'm not saying anything new or revolutionary with this, I just wanted to express my appreciation for this lovely book.

Great

Great read. Complex, interwoven storylines with rumbustious humor and deep emotions somehow blended in without highlighting their dichotomy. It did get a little slow in parts but the depth of the characters made up for it. Liked that he managed to do so while writing in first person. A neat trick, that. All in all, a really good fiction.
