Story
Meet Threadbare. He is 12 inches tall, full of fluff, and really, really bad at being a hero. Magically animated and discarded by his maker as a failed experiment, he is saved by a little girl. But she's got problems of her own, and he might not be able to help her. Fortunately for the little golem, he's quick to find allies, learn skills, gain levels, and survive horrible predicaments. Which is good, because his creator has a whole lot of enemies …

Story
When Alice Verianna went to sleep, she was just another teen from the Denver suburbs. She definitely didn't expect to be transported to a magical alternate dimension, inhabited by monsters and presided over by a mysterious System. Here, people resemble RPG characters and everyone has access to their own status screens. Grappling with the mechanics of the elusive System isn't the only challenge Alice faces. It seems an underground organization known as the Society of Starry Eyes has taken a particular interest in other dimensions.

Story
Power Day occurs every year on September 15th. Across the world, formerly regular people awaken with superhuman abilities—and labels to go with them. They become the next generation of Heroes...and Villains. September 15th is also Emily Wright’s first day on campus. While everyone else is out celebrating the start of their college career, Emily’s hiding in her dorm room. She wonders if it’s possible to earn a degree while completely avoiding eye contact with anyone. All she wants is to learn a little. Instead, she’s granted a superpower and categorized as villainous.

Alana wasn’t always a child of the Kingdom of Bergond. In fact, she hails from an entirely different world. But an accident on Earth left her dead, and she was reincarnated as the daughter of a farmer and his wife in the hamlet of Orsken. Now, she’s learning how to live in a land vastly unlike that which she came from—and how to wield the new powers she possesses. For, even by the rules of her strange new home, Alana is special: a young bard capable of mending wounds, counteracting poisons, and healing the sick, all through the use of mana and her own mind.

She's unlike any one or any thing else: a Non-Standard Leashed-Intelligence Cybernetic Enforcer aka NSLICE-00P. The first of her kind, she's let loose into a universe of superheroes on behalf of her sinister masters to destroy all who oppose them. And everything's going according to plan—until NSLICE-00P gets hacked and sent into the past to kill her own creator before he creates her. Obeying orders as always, she wastes the poor guy. Unfortunately, there are consequences to initiating a reality-breaking time paradox. The most significant: total ejection from that reality.

Suspension of disbelief difficult
The author is making this story use real world constructs like machinery and circuits instead of just "it's magic". Yet when main character has 25% circuitry failure, her mech suit is still pretty much 100% functional, the only difference is things can take longer / splurt a bit. It's more like a computer game character that continues to be just fine until the life bar goes to 0 and then the fully functioning person becomes dead.

Hidden gem
I picked up this short story on a whim and was SO SURPRISED. I've never experienced a 48 min story make me feel like I just completed a 12 hour fully fleshed out story. Dr. Dire is now my new favorite sometimes Hero. I'm immediately going on to the first full length novel in the series and can't wait to see what Andrew Seiple can deliver with nearly 12 times the content. WELL DONE!

The first taste..
Love the Dire series.
This one feels like a tiny encapsulated sampler (a seiple sample?) of the themes.
As someone who has already read many of the books in the series, it was a little nostalgic and makes me want to relisten from “born”.

Good, but didnt get much out of this
This short was well written and gave a small introduction into some of the characters in the main storyline but didnt shed much light onto who the previous incarnation of Dire truely was. Was about one of her schemes which wasnt necessarily evil but maybe a bit callus which shows some difference between the Dire we get to know in the main story line but i was hoping for a solid reason for why she erased her memory.bi suppose that would spoil the mystery though which the author is clearly building until one of the later books. Overall it was alright but nothing ground breaking.

Too woke for me
First book was great it subsequent books became too woke for me. Most of characters are homosexual and exploring their same sex relationships. Conservative politician turned out to be a rapist kidnapper. Black characters focus on race a lot Too politically woke.
