Name: The Ghostly Thief
Author: Indrajit

Synopsis

The protagonist is lucky: even death couldn’t stop him from transmigrating. He’s also unlucky: he transmigrated into the body of a thief during the three hardest years after the founding of the nation. The granaries were so empty even the mice had fled. What could a thief possibly steal? He couldn’t steal a thing, and was caught and beaten to death. That’s how he ended up transmigrating.

Fortunately, Xu Weiqiang had played a Thief game before and awakened the Heroic Thief System, which kept him alive. But even when you want to live a quiet life, trouble has a way of finding you. There’s no chance of that. To survive, and to keep his loved ones alive, he has to make the most of life. Xu Weiqiang can only rely on the Heroic Thief System to accumulate wealth and fortune. From the village to the county seat, from the county seat to the city, and then back to the village, he takes one step at a time, growing ever more capable and soaring to new heights as he carries out his grand plan for life. In the end, he finds his own happiness!

Looking for Stories That Obviously Look AI-Written, the More Ridiculous the Better

There are way too many AI writers nowadays, aren’t there? Not only is the barrier to entry low, but the quality is wildly inconsistent. I feel like they will squeeze many traditional writers out of their room to grow in the future. I guess writers will eventually have to emphasize at the beginning, “Not AI-generated, entirely written by hand.”
