<p>One day, a programmer and toy designer, with a love of robots, is accidentally killed due to a cosmic sysAdmin error and gets "reborn" on one of the other worlds that the sysAdmin has running on his servers. The new world seems like a typical Japanese RPG with magic, monsters, and fantastic races. He's even able to be born as an Automata, a race of magic robots. What could be better for a robot fanatic? To help him succeed, he's been given abilities that allow him to inspect and interact with magic as if it's code as well as crafting abilities, the downside is that it ends up that the Automata are a slave race viewed as nothing more than high-end magic tools. Has he been reborn into a life of servitude? Or will he rise up to become a mechanical Spartacus that leads the Automata to revolt?</p> <p>---</p> <p>This story is set in gameLit setting, and is intended to follow in the style of Japanese Light Novels in the genre of Isekai with some slice-of-life so the plot will be a slow-burn. There's crafting, programming, and a magic system based heavily on real world physics and principles. Expect some dorky humor and even dorkier references with lots of Easter Eggs for fellow Mech Heads.</p> <p>This book is part 1 in a trilogy, and should be considered an "Act 1" as the bulk of this book is set up. I'm a fan of poor decisions coming back to bite the MC later rather than right away, since that's how my life always seems to work out :/</p> <p>The completed book is 42 chapters and roughly 50K words. Books 2 and 3 will be about the same with the intent to compile them into a single novel for the eBook and audiobook. My target demographic is genre fans of quick, light, reading from kids to kids at heart. I touch on some speciesist/racist themes and things like slavery, but it never gets too dark. So if you're looking for some dark and meaty stuff, this won't be it.</p> <p>Oh, for funnzies, I give out +5 rep for the first person to point out given easter eggs in the comments ;)</p>
