Mecha Buddha

Please add my new novels "The Misfortune Diner" and "Metaphysical Toddler in the Infinite" to your reading lists! Here’s the blurb for this novel:

Environmental activist Shi Nan died in a mudslide and transmigrated to the future.

What she never expected was that in a future full of advanced technology, people would be even more superstitious than they were in feudal times.

For merit, people released all kinds of strange creatures without a thought for the ecosystem.

For prayer beads, they chopped down rare, ancient trees that had stood for tens of thousands of years.

For faith, they’d be walking down the street and suddenly spit on you...

Shi Nan struggled to endure her discomfort as she grew up in this environment. In the end, she chose to self-destruct because her parents insisted she choose a faith.

Faith, huh?

Furious, Shi Nan let loose and created a website, declaring:

Play a mechanical fish drum, release electronic lucky carp, worship the Mecha Buddha, enjoy digital immortality!

Shi Nan had only meant to escape the faith she’d been forced into, but she never expected the website to become wildly popular soon after its launch.

That works?

Shi Nan couldn’t understand it, but for the sake of the environment, she still devoted herself to running her website, in case these people got bored and went back to ruining the environment.

Thanks to Shi Nan’s diligent management, the website grew more and more popular.

Then one day, she received a visitor who claimed to be a messenger from the Celestial Court.

The visitor descended from the sky in a way that defied all science. As soon as he walked in, he gave Shi Nan an especially warm smile:

"The Mecha Buddha, is that right? You won first place in the latest popularity poll for the gods. The Celestial Court is notifying you to come collect your prize."

Shi Nan: ???

"The Misfortune Diner"

Blurb 1:

Tang Li, forsaken by the will of the world, had been plagued by bad luck her whole life.

That was until she arrived in a future world that was a giant melting pot of artificial life, elves, merfolk, espers, mages, cultivators, insectoids, and more.

Although after transmigrating, she had no safety net beyond a dilapidated shop, no one in this world disliked her because of her bad luck.

So Tang Li settled into the shop subsidized by the Interstellar Civil Affairs Department and happily opened the diner she’d always wanted. Given her unlucky constitution, she named it "The Misfortune Diner."

She thought no one would come, but unexpectedly, the diner proved quite popular.

Diner patrons: What’s this Misfortune Diner? Let’s order something and give it a try!

Blurb 2:

The world failed to evolve to the next level, and humanity was wiped out. Tang Li, whose ability was genetic mutation, was entrusted with an important mission by the will of the world: return to the day the apocalypse began.

Genetic mutation could determine the direction in which all things evolved. With this ability, Tang Li created countless powerful fighters in the apocalypse.

But after returning to the time before the apocalypse, Tang Li didn’t take advantage of the head start as the will of the world had hoped, making humanity stronger before the virus could spread. Instead, she went straight to the virus before it could take hold and used genetic mutation to weaken its toxicity, bringing the absurd apocalypse to a complete end.

From then on, Tang Li became a bringer of misfortune rejected by the will of the world.

Even plagued by bad luck, all she wished for was peace in the world.

Tang Li didn’t regret her choice, especially when, by a twist of fate, she transmigrated to the distant future billions of years later and learned that humanity had ultimately evolved into a civilization through the power of technology, becoming one of the universe’s civilizations and sharing the sea of stars with countless species.

The universe was home to an astonishing range of species: artificial life, elves, espers, merfolk, mages, cultivators, insectoids... Even an unlucky person like her, who was plagued by misfortune, was nothing out of the ordinary.

Tang Li was happy. At last, she could fulfill her lifelong wish: open an ordinary little diner and welcome guests from all over.

Word gradually spread through the universe. They said there was a magical diner in the Tidal Sea, whose owner crafted delicious evolutionary meals tailored to the traits of different species. Before long, the species of the universe flocked to it, paying no heed at all to the word "Misfortune" in the diner’s name.
