Synopsis

Wuzhou floats atop a sea that burns without heat. Six hundred years ago, the ancient kings broke the sun in the sky into twelve “Day Spikes” and drove them into the edges of the continent. Thus, daylight was fixed, and so was history. After death, a person's name is extracted from their bones, becoming “name salt” that can be weighed. The heavier a name, the more power it has to command matter, but the easier it is for the world to remember its owner and for enemies to track them down.

Over the past century, the twelve Day Spikes have gone out one by one. Each time one goes dark, a region falls into “namelessness”: roads no longer lead where they should, relatives forget one another, laws lose their subjects, and the dead rise from their graves in search of those who once called them by name. Every faction believes that whoever claims the last Day Spike will rule the world. None knows that the spikes are really pinning down a god asleep beneath the Ashen Sea.

Looking for something like The Boss Is Insanely Cunning, and So Is My System. An original premise, a protagonist who isn't an idiot, and no major deal-breakers. The kind you can stay up all night reading.
