    Summary

    Noted historian and author Xiuying Liu (Elite Power: the White-Collar Paracriminal Lobby, The Yàngbǎn in Việt Nam, 1994-2009) takes an incisive and fearless look at the American military-heroic-industrial complex, and the ways in which emerging parahumanity became entangled with ongoing transformations in capitalism during the tumultuous decade that saw the birth and death of the first parahuman 'heroes.' Charting the development of 'Endbringer diplomacy,' Liu demonstrates unambiguously the ways by which the politics of eternal crisis became the foundation of post-Soviet American hegemony, and how the Protectorate-PRT became the sword and shield of the US State Department. A must-read for anybody who wishes to understand how the unprecedented material forces at play in the last quarter-century have created our unique historical moment.

    Summary

    20-year-old Pro Hero Deku gets thrown back in time from a timeline where AFO has basically conquered Japan, leaving UA and Shiketsu as the lone places of safety from his Nomu army.

    He doesn't get thrown back in time into his own younger body, though, he wakes up as someone else:
    Akashi Tatsuya, Quirk: Day's Grace, an indiscriminate healing quirk with no offensive power at all.

    If the powers that be think that's going to stop him from protecting his friends, they've got another thing coming.

    Summary

    Midoriya Izuku walks by his chance for greatness. Told that he can't be a hero by his idol and to not even think about UA by his once friend, he finally takes the realistic option and chooses Shiketsu's support course.
    Things get better eventually. He enjoys inventing and manages to make friends. It seems everyone was right, he wasn't meant to be a hero...
    But then everything goes to shit and the only way forward is to go back.

    In other words:
    Quirkless inventor Midoriya goes through a nomu apocalypse, takes some risks, and realizes he always had what it takes to be a hero. Add time travel to the mix.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Give Up? Don't Think So by Kocineczka

    Follows memory-time-traveller Izuku Midoriya from Nomupocalyptic future where, due to him going to different school, All Might was killed at USJ and other stuff happened. Besides memory Izuku took a handful of Quirks(Overhaul included) for the ride, building them into persona of "chaos deity" vigilante Phantom, while managing to get into Yuuei under "Quirkless" pretense.

    Has just the right balance of humor and serious, technobabble is verisimilar.
