Superhero Tropes

In front of a crowd, the classic "broken engagement" trope unfolded. Gu Feng smiled faintly and took out a golden abacus. "That certain someone, I don’t mind you breaking off the engagement. However, you’ll have to pay me compensation." "At three years and one month old, I secretly fed you a piece of jerky. The meat itself wasn’t worth much, but the seasoning on it was expensive—100 spirit stones." "At three years and two months old, I gave you a wooden knife. This blade was carved over ten years by a master craftsman—1,000 spirit stones." "..." "On top of that, you also owe me compensation for emotional damages over the past 15 years and the next 10,000 years, totaling..." "And for those times I kissed you..." --- Support me on www.patreon.com/c/AnubisTL and Read Ahead!

In 1945, near the end of World War II, an idealistic Golden Age superhero willingly sacrificed his life to stop the Wunderwaffe, a terrible weapon created by the Nazis. He was a few days short of his eighteenth birthday, yet he died with a smile, knowing his sacrifice would lead to a brighter future. However, he didn't actually die but fell into a long coma, waking up seventy-eight years after his supposed death, in a world he barely recognized. He didn't understand the new world but was still determined to be a hero and use his powers to save others.

Waking up in an unfamiliar world with no memories, I had only one advantage—a mind filled with knowledge of tropes, clichés, and common sense from countless novels. At first, I thought I was trapped in a romcom nightmare when I started triggering events like "Helping a Girl on a Rainy Day" and "Tripping Into the Heroine’s Arms." Naturally, I shut that nonsense down before it could escalate. No forced romances. No misunderstandings. No cringe. But something was off. The world wasn’t just a slice-of-life comedy. Beneath the cliché academy setting, there were whispers of awakening powers, hidden dangers, and a brutal magic academy entrance exam. And every challenge I prevented or manipulated was an opportunity to grow stronger. [Title Earned: Background Character.] [Achievement Unlocked: Firm Mind.] [New Ability Acquired: Anti-Narrative Influence.] ... I may be just a background character, but if fate insists on throwing these events at me, I’ll turn them into stepping stones. Let the protagonists play their scripted roles—I have my own path to power.

"I, an Immortal Cultivator in this world of superheroes, alone understand the Dao." Elius Northrim had a peaceful life—until he blacked out and awakened with tragic memories of his past life. Along with those memories was a realization that in his eighteen years, he was living in a brutal superhero universe, and his ruthless alien father—whom he had never met—was coming for his life because one of his brothers, the main character of the comic awakened his Solarion bloodline. Surviving while being mistaken for an awakened Solarion offspring of his father too, Elius must keep the truth hidden—he’s not one of them, but an immortal cultivator. If his father discovers the deception, both he and his mother will die. But the worst part is that he has become his father's favorite among the two. To avoid being constantly under his father's watch, Elius enrolls in a superhero academy, blending in while secretly growing stronger. However, with rival students, watchful instructors, and his father’s looming presence, one mistake could mean death.

The Fiends ( monstrous beautiful creatures bent on man's demise ) A story of a person that seeks love but finds despair, time and time again. A man deranged withing his own senses but perfectly sane in his soul. An adventure where we wiill find death, joy and despair but we hope for what was in the middle. They all do.

What is He supposed to be? Will He emerge from these mad times of chaos to become. THE GREATEST SUPERHERO. Or Will it emerge from the bedlam and bring about ruination as THE FINAL FIEND. What to expect. ( Be warned ) Core reality's of Life. War Love Hate Existential Horror Romance Rage Humour Symbolism Fighting ( Violent and brutal battles ) Death ( lots of it. I mean no one's safe in this book ). Genocide.

The parts of reality we try not to think about, the parts we run away from. It is the Journey of Theo and what he decideds to become. A hero or a Fiend.

Lucien Thomas was once a diehard fan of the comic Wonder Wise, until he grew disillusioned with its lack of character development. After publicly critiquing the series’ recent direction, he wakes up in the comic’s universe as Lucien Thomas—a character who never originally existed. In this strange new version of Wonder Wise, Lucien is best friends with the protagonist, Asher Neuman, the son of Earth’s greatest superhero. As Asher begins his journey as the rookie hero Neutron, Lucien realizes the story is playing out just like the comic's first issue. But rather than passively watch the events unfold, he decides to take matters into his own hands. Lacking the Q energy that grants others their powers, Lucien sets his sights on the ultimate shortcut: stealing the alien artifact known as the Wonder Wise suit. This mysterious suit absorbs Q energy and transforms its wearer into a formidable physical powerhouse. Donning the suit, Lucien takes on the role of a villain—not out of malice, but to force Asher to take his role as a superhero seriously. As Asher and Lucien clash, their relationship is tested, and the lines between hero, villain, and mentor blur. With both of their fates now off the comic’s original script, Lucien must grapple with the unintended consequences of his actions and discover whether he can truly shape his own story—or if he’s just another piece in someone else’s game.

Losing his fathers to monsters at just seventeen, Axel had given up on life.

With a mysterious guide, newfound allies, and enemies far stronger than him,Axel must rise as a superhero to save both worlds. His journey takes him to Superpolis—a sprawling city where everyone has powers. There, he makes friends with other superheroes, but not all friendships are built to last. Some will help him rise, others will try to break him. But Axel’s greatest battles won’t just be against lone enemies. He will face entire monster hordes, villainous empires, and warlords seeking to conquer both Khaos Realm and Earth. And then, there’s the villain—a being so powerful that a single swing of his sword could shatter galaxies. He waits in the depths of Khaos Realm, and Axel must ensure he never escapes. But this enemy is patient, calculated, and always a step ahead. Worse yet, Axel’s powers comes with a weakness—one he doesn't know exists… but the villain does. [A/N: This novel includes intense battles, strategic fights, and moments of gore(not extreme or too detailed), which is why I’ve used the R18 tag. Axel will be powerful as a superhero, but not overpowered—every victory will be earned. Expect detailed fight scenes and epic showdowns that will keep you on the edge of your seat or the road (considering what you're doing at the time of reading ^⁠_⁠^) The first villain Axel faces in Chapter 3? Let’s just say I have big plans for him. He’s not just an obstacle—he’s a key piece of the story. I’ll be releasing three chapters daily, and I promise, I won’t drop. Novel's cover by me]

Transmigrating with a system into a sadistic romance novel is a bit overwhelming for Paige at the age of 34 and being a Hikikomori. "You are the protagonist of this world." She stated while the system directly shocked her left and right for disclosing the storyline to the male lead on her first day. A system trying to satisfy the creator, a shut-in that can't take care of herself, and a teenage male lead catching himself infatuated with the wrong person. The more time passed, the more everything went out of control, as apparently nothing had been as it seemed. A dark version of the typical system trope.

A woman, doomed to live the life of a fantasy romance novels villainess again and again. Decides that this life she will simply be lazy, allow the story to drag her where it may However, the other main characters are acting rather strange this time around. They simply will not leave her to laze about in peace. This is my first book, and also incredibly self indulgent. Created mostly for my own enjoyment. Featuring: an mc who gives no fucks, obsessive male leads, and gratuitous use of fantasy tropes. What more can a gall ask for. (There is no weird sibling stuff, and there is very little of the miscommunication trope. Mostly because I personally dislike that sort of thing.)

Many label him a "mad scientist" due to his bizarre and overly complex projects. Despite his love for science, he finds himself frustrated with the common tropes in fantasy stories—where people are transported to another world and gain power without questioning the fundamental principles behind mana, necromancy, holy magic, and other supernatural traits. To him, it is absurd that these so-called heroes simply accept these forces without understanding their true nature. Determined to challenge this ignorance, Suteil embarks on a groundbreaking and utterly insane experiment—one that will change everything. And on that fateful day, he succeeds
