Vaudevillain #3
Cane Whirling Lunacy
Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you might blow up a space station or two!
Dylan feels like he’s made it in life: Menagerie achieved victory, and Vert has contacted him to request the use of Dr. Zlo as the next big raid boss. The player has all sorts of maniacal plans in mind, from a new getaway car to death rays.
It’s too bad Dylan’s newfound fame is attracting attention from everyone. Random players are always on the lookout to join Dr. Zlo in his next crime, but their methods don’t resonate with the wacky villain. To top it all off, his once-friend John returns once more: bent on showing Dylan the correct way to play a videogame.
Between new players, the interference of a hardcore gamer, and Vert’s ineptitude, Dylan decides it’s time to make the ultimate villainous weapon, and hold the world hostage!

Cane Whirling Lunacy
Dr. Zlo may have been thwarted in his last scheme, but now is the perfect time to set his sights much higher. In the VRMMO game, Worlds of Supers, Dylan has huge plans for Dr Zlo. Not only that, the company has chosen his character to be the main adversary for the next expansion event.
This is the perfect series for any LitRPG fan that enjoys comic books! There are nods to so many famous superheroes and villains. Honestly, my only complaint is that is not longer. There was one expansion that is talked about and not really anything done with. I could have used anther 5 or so hours! Austin Rising did an excellent job with the narration. Hopefully, they will make some more of these books!

Old time villain
Not sure why i keep reading this series except to say that the characters are plot are enough to keep me hooked. Being a long time comic book fan and a gamer, this series has a lot of both to go with the corny and sometimes cool ideas. This novel felt like a true novel and the escapades kept me hooked.

Amazing
I really loved the authors take on the classic vaudeville villain. The story was full of suspense, humor, action, and drama. I found myself laughing plotting and having a fun adventure while reading this story and that is the mark of a truly good book. I highly recommend reading this series

Great series, one of the best I’ve read in my life
I loved this series, as a fan of rpg games and superpower games. I love the dynamics of how the books worked, and I actually FELT the characters emotions. I love their personalities as well. I would stay up late at night to read this series. I’m sad the series ended, but I’m sure to find more series by this amazing author.

One of the best in game worlds ever
Most stories based around games always feel like they have artificial reasons for drama. This one felt real and I really enjoyed the full run.
