Cyberpunk meets Eastern mysticism, with a fresh genre and fresh ideas!
Taoist talismans are combined with cybernetic enhancements:
The protagonist draws electronic talismans in cinnabar to fight tech conglomerates,
while his magical artifact is an AI compass implanted in his spine.
Cultivators have been reduced to “flesh servers” for unscrupulous corporations,
spiritual energy is computing power, and surviving tribulation means breaking through the brain-computer firewall.
