How is this fun?

While trying to dig up more Superhero Prose, I came across this:

A smart, imaginative, and evocative novel of love, betrayal, revenge, and redemption, told with razor-sharp wit and affection, in which a young woman discovers the greatest superpower—for good or ill—is a properly executed spreadsheet.

Anna does boring things for terrible people because even criminals need office help and she needs a job. Working for a monster lurking beneath the surface of the world isn’t glamorous. But is it really worse than working for an oil conglomerate or an insurance company? In this economy? As a temp, she’s just a cog in the machine. But when she finally gets a promising assignment, everything goes very wrong, and an encounter with the so-called “hero” leaves her badly injured.  And, to her horror, compared to the other bodies strewn about, she’s the lucky one.
So, of course, then she gets laid off.
With no money and no mobility, with only her anger and internet research acumen, she discovers her suffering at the hands of a hero is far from unique. When people start listening to the story that her data tells, she realizes she might not be as powerless as she thinks.
Because the key to everything is data: knowing how to collate it, how to manipulate it, and how to weaponize it. By tallying up the human cost these caped forces of nature wreak upon the world, she discovers that the line between good and evil is mostly marketing.  And with social media and viral videos, she can control that appearance.
It’s not too long before she’s employed once more, this time by one of the worst villains on earth. As she becomes an increasingly valuable lieutenant, she might just save the world.
A sharp, witty, modern debut, Hench explores the individual cost of justice through a fascinating mix of Millennial office politics, heroism measured through data science, body horror, and a profound misunderstanding of quantum mechanics.

This screams misery fiction to me. No thanks. A fascinating mix of Millennial office politics....nope. Plus based on that blurb: She works for a super villain and the "hero" breaks her somehow. Then she goes "hear me roar" woman mode with yet another villain boss. Hard pass.

Its no wonder superhero books aren't more popular: If its crappy preachy shit like this, it wont grow the genre but deflate it. Current Year BS is killing various industries, find stuff that is awesome and support that.

It's probably going to take the rest of the year to finish my series but I want it all done before I go into editing then covers.

Been working back and forth on the anthology and the main series. 

Again, this series is gonna have:

• Family
• Adventures
• Character Virtues will be on display rather then deconstructed
• Basically a massive blend of what I love: Earlier Superman + Buck Rogers +Flash Gordon+Green Lantern+Power Rangers+Babylon 5+Silver Age+Gold Age+Different Kinds of Strength. 
• Space Doggos
