Cyber Shanhai: Monster Invasion

[This novel was completed on February 3 and is now in its post-completion V sequence]

Before Li Qing died, one shot tore open space, bringing cultivators en masse into the modern world.

The world began to race forward. Technology and spiritual power coexisted, companies and cultivators controlled the cities, and ordinary people struggled to survive in the cracks between them.

After sleeping for thirty years, Li Qing woke up again with only one wish: to give up and die in front of his computer.

Just as he had only one breath left, a certain CEO dropped from the sky and dragged him out of his nest.

Monsters appeared out of nowhere, and the world became a grand amusement park.

Gu Chao told Li Qing to catch monsters, not knowing that Li Qing was one himself.

What Li Qing never expected was that Gu Chao was not only the junior of his archenemy, but also the adorable, money-spending "big sister" from his game!

To make matters worse, this junior wanted to turn him gay!

A few things to know before reading:

1. This can only be called cyber-popular, not cyberpunk. It's an imaginative work, so please forgive anything you don't like.

2. The monsters are based on the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

3. The bottom has had a very hard life. He was emotionally manipulated from childhood and abused later on, a tragic beauty who is as world-weary as he is tenacious. The top is also his salvation.

[Important content warnings]

4. The second male lead is a beautiful, tragic, villainous, unstable yandere. He appears midway through the story and has unrequited feelings for the bottom. I wrote him to oppose Stockholm syndrome, so the bottom will never fall for him. Never.

5. The bottom is a monster and will lay an egg for the top later in the story. It doesn't get much page time; it simply fulfills the author's wish as his doting mom.

I'm an obsessive reviser and often make changes. I'll add anything else that comes to mind later.

Here's a story I'm planning:

Forceful Invasion [Wasteland ABO]

King of the City X Wasteland Mercenary

A suited-up brute and a mad beauty, two self-serving desperadoes locked in a fierce struggle. Both leads are scumbags; no childbirth.

If you're interested, you can follow and save it on the author's page. I've already started writing it, and expect to update it in December.

Theme: In this world where black and white are turned upside down, every good person shines brightly.
