Defective 残次品
“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.”, Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities “I carried a hatred buried deep in my bones and a scheme years in the making. I turned myself into a ghost risen from the dead and sank into the swamp, sank into the abyss. I wanted to plant rotting roots and grow thorns that would kill at a touch, to pierce this hypocritical civilization. I reached the depths of the mire... and found a star.” A top with a three-ton idol image VS a bottom who's a shre

The First Battlefield Analyst! 第一战场分析师！
Signed for simplified Chinese publication. Weibo: @Jinjiang Tuige - The current era is said to be the worst time for manual-piloted mecha. This discipline, rebuilt under the gaze of countless people, has yet to glimpse the glory of victory, and is already on the verge of fading away and leaving the stage of history once more. Everyone mocks, ridicules, and questions it, believing manual-piloted mecha has buried the youth of countless people and reached the end of the road. That year, Alliance

At the military academy rankings tournament, Dongqing Military Academy's resident mecha

Qiao Jing had been in this cyberpunk world, a place like a cesspit, for two years. Here, she'd learned firsthand that "technology creates a better life" was a load of crap. Qiao Jing had a perfect plan for getting by in this cyberpunk world: first, get her diploma from Colin University; then, join the government; and finally, live out a peaceful, comfortable life of affluence and dignity. She worked incredibly hard to make it happen, and everything was going smoothly until her pre-employment me
