reviewed Patient Zero by Jonathan Maberry

Is it a poorly written parody?

Extremely descriptive to the point of being boring. Most of it is how great the main character, Joe Ledger, is. Characters go out of their way to praise him out of the blue. It is filled with tropes and cringe memes, resulting in little progression to the story.

I found some perseverance to keep reading it, when I started thinking this is a parody of tropes: - Love interest, who doesn't want to like him but can't help herself - Nerdy sidekick - Dr. Evil villain

But my will power was never rewarded, I only received more boring descriptions and barely no story progression.

I should have trusted my guts and stopped reading it after the first chapter.
