Description

Night City is awful. Worse than any other place in the world by a wide margin. But if any place has opportunities, it's here.

Regardless of what happens, who dies or who lives- I have to keep working and reach the top, so I can see the way back clearly. I hope there is at least something above this city.

Realistic setting. No system. No sudden powerups.

Slow progression (very much so). Main Character will not be perfect, and mistakes will happen, especially at the start of his journey. He is a human...

Hacking/technical focus. A bit of action. A bit of romance.

This story is a hobby. Hope you can enjoy!

Story itself is well written, grammar is fine with only minor hiccups, pace is fine - could be slower, but that's personal preference. Introduction of characters feels organic, especially at the beginning when V is introduced and sets the period of time the MC has to work with. The steady mental degradation and the clear effect multiple personalities and life experiences have on a normal mind, including forgetting his past life as NC devours him, is just so good to read. The descent into selfish egotistic behaviour for self preservations sake serves as a perfect setup for something more down the line, especially when we look back at the Tarot card reading Misty did for him. Overall, exceptional story, characters feel realistic and human, especially the MC who is clearly suffering every step of the way even when he's supposed to enjoy himself. Keep the work up dear author.

Story was an ok read right up until a pointless character kill which makes the MC a scumbag. At that point there is nobody to root for.
Author ruined their own work.
Genuinely depressing to think the author would think the story could survive that, or that their own character would do what was shown. They were written as morally Grey beforehand and they are very suddenly a cold blooded monster for no real reason.
