"Join Arasaka and give your family a safer, more prosperous life."
"Your talent and loyalty deserve world-class rewards."
--Arasaka Corporation Recruitment Program
In Night City, even getting a corporate job means fighting tooth and nail.
In 2075, Li An transmigrated here and received an offer from Arasaka's Counterintelligence Division.
A private apartment, medical coverage, and cyberware that ordinary people couldn't afford even after saving for half their lives.
The only thing he didn't like about this dream job was that his boss planned to have him killed on his first day.
Fortunately, the System revealed the hidden intel behind the assignment.
Li An used the evidence he'd uncovered to send his boss to the interrogation room, collect his mission reward, and successfully complete his probation.
His direct superior was named V, and was currently a middle manager in the corporation, focused on climbing the ranks.
Li An wanted to climb too.
The System could reveal the hidden intel behind every assignment, and every choice came with its own risks and rewards.
The Counterintelligence Division happened to have its own armed forces and field operation privileges. Once outside the company, there were worthwhile business opportunities all over Night City.
He liked the life Arasaka provided, and wanted to be the one who decided what happened to the things he'd worked hard to earn.
Arasaka would never allow an employee to maintain a private faction.
So before Human Resources noticed what he was doing, Li An had to climb to a position where they would have to keep quiet.
After seeing Chapter 34, I'll wait and see for four stars. It's a corporate dog route and the future development is still unclear. Let me mention a few questions that I personally feel. First, the writing style is a bit biased toward literary youth. I'm not sure whether it's the author's habit or deliberate shaping. I personally don't like literary youth, but it's not to the extent of literary youth disease at the moment, so I'll wait and see. Second, the presence of plug-ins is relatively low. Skill-based rewards are directly instilled. I can't tell which ones are or are not real objects because I see them a little too quickly. In addition, the recognition of plug-ins is not high. It is recommended that parts involving plug-ins be framed with [ ]. Third, my personal suggestion is that the author can decide on the heroine, but if you don't accept the heroine, I suggest you mention it less. There is no need to spend a large part of the plot describing how the protagonist promotes the emotional development of the supporting characters. Of course, if the author thinks that this can make the description more vivid, I will not refute it. I'm zz. Today I read a new chapter about cheats. I don't know if it's my memory error or something. It may be that I read the previous chapters too fast. Now it suddenly feels like the previous cheats part already had [ ] haha After reading it again, Klenchikov turned out to be a system reward, distributed through Arasaka in the form of a new experimental prosthetic body, but after seeing that it was experimental, the protagonist still wanted to apply for it and use it all the time. How can I put it, although this plug-in is more suitable for the background of the story, but it is not enough. After all, it is not much different from nothing in 2077, and the physical rewards are always controlled by others, which will give some readers a sense of uneasiness. A company-dog game like the one next door is enough, and that book starts with middle and high-level management. In this book, the sense of uneasiness is too strong, or in cyber terms, the company-dog smell is too strong. Life or death is not up to the protagonist, and it can only depend on whether the skills given by the plug-in can be tolerated.
It should have been given four stars, but the style is indeed different from other 2077 articles, the writing style is novel, and it is considered to be more rigorous among the 2077 articles. I say four stars because some of the dialogues are incomprehensible and I don't know who said them. It's a bit baffling.
Apart from anything else, the author has a very good feel for the description of the workplace, which makes people feel classy. I've just finished watching the second season of Edgewalker. It's just pure hook, and it's not as cyberpunk-y as the author's fan fiction.
So after looking at it this time, I feel that the protagonist's system can even be an AI, and the extra knowledge can be uploaded by the AI on the spot, and the rewards will be sent by Arasaka instead of appearing out of thin air. And why do you feel that the Counterintelligence Department does not function as an external department, but more like a safety production department? The classic picture of one person working in a pit at a construction site, surrounded by safety officers, directors, industry agents, on-site supervisors, and three-party illegal inspections is indeed the reality. Facts have proved that safety production cannot prevent anything, and it will also slow down the progress of the project.
I think it's okay. The only problem is that the author has really worked. Why does this novel make me more tired as I read it? 🥺
The writing is so real, as if the author has really traveled through time 🤭😏
The writing is pretty good, but I wish I could optimize the dialogue. It's often hard to tell who said which sentence, and the main plot is a bit slow. But if you go slower, it won't be easy to lose your combat power. The writing is really good. I hope I can stick with it. Nowadays, there are not many people writing about cyberpunk who are serious about writing about companies. Come on
It's real, it's pretty good-looking, I hope the pace will be faster
If you like 2077 and have played this game, you can watch it. The writing is good. At least I don't see much traces of AI recognition. It is the kind of writing that develops slowly, but it will not be wordy. If you want to watch the kind of story that will conquer the sky, the earth, and the air in a short time, forget it. I don't even know if there is a female protagonist.
You can tell from the beginning that AI is used
