Beyond the Limit (DC)

In Gotham, Joseph Bell faces escalating hardship, his struggles with dead-end jobs and grief over his mother's death leaving him desperate for an escape. A near descent into crime is halted by a chance encounter, leading him to discover new abilities and an AI companion. With a significant opportunity within his grasp, Joseph finds himself at a crucial turning point. However, navigating a world dominated by heroes and villains, asserting control over one's destiny proves challenging, as a single misstep carries irreversible consequences. The initial chapters draw inspiration from fanfiction works, with the narrative later diverging. The story is set within the Young Justice universe, potentially incorporating elements from other DC continuities. The author clarifies that AI is used for grammar correction, not story generation, and the novel does not feature a harem.
