I Lead the Rise of Mechanical Gods
Also known as: Flesh Is Pain, Machines Ascend; I’m Already a Nobody, So How Can I Still Become a God?; Don’t Make Me Pull Out the Italian Quantum Cannon
When disaster struck, civilization collapsed, and the Federation locked everyone into their social classes.
The Awakened wield extraordinary powers, the Walkers temper their flesh into weapons of war, and the Augmented cling to life with steel. Only the wastelanders have been utterly abandoned by the world, trapped among mud and bones.
The whispers of false gods corrode the soul, and shadows from beyond this world lie in wait. Flesh is frail by nature, and mortal bodies cannot escape suffering and decay.
Lin Yan, a wasteland survivor, finds the spark of machinery in the depths of despair. Seeing through the illusion of the flesh, he replaces it with steel and relies on reason to weather the chaos.
He will not waste his time on pointless kindness, nor leave even the slightest loose end. Lying low in obscurity, he will use the path of machinery to break the shackles of fate and ultimately prove himself a god.
The protagonist isn’t a bleeding heart. He’s decisive and ruthless, and there is a female lead. If the writing isn’t good in the end, feel free to tear it apart.
The writing is pretty good, but I don't know what happens next.
