Night City, it's a place of endless wonders and horrors. Opportunities and dangers, but before Motoko Kusanagi can access any of them.

She first has to build up enough strength to walk again. Learn the basics of living in a world that was just a game to her before. Good thing she found a Shard hidden in her stuff that opens the door of opportunity. But like all opportunities in Night City, it usually ends up in a gunfight.

Self-Insert with a modified Cyberpunk 2077 Gamer System. Not a direct Ghost in the Shell Crossover. MC just happens to share the name. Collapse

    For the whole novel, I never understood what her balance is and how much she gets from concerts. This knch is a huge minus

    There's a lot to like about the novel. I personally enjoyed the exploration of cyber psychosis, and netrunning. Generally the fic revels in exploring and enjoying Night City without all the drama and issues that other fics run into with V/Silverhand as MCs, This leads to a sort of mash up between murderhobo-ing and slice of life fluff, which is honestly right up my ally as a fan of power/progression fantasy and slice of life novels.
    The novel isn't the most serious of things, and you might find the regular references and occasional meme a little eye rolly. A fair bit of music is referenced as well that led me to youtube to find.
    All in all I found the work pretty thematic, and good for casual enjoyment. Its no Shawshank Redemption, but compared to the majority of chaff novels around, it stands out in a positive way. Overall I really liked it 4.5/5

      Also since I liked this novel I tried to find other stuff similar to it, but everything I found was generally worse.

      Still if you want some other option's Stray Cat Strut by Ravensdagger is very similar in terms of cyberpunk+ progression fantasy+ slice of life + Female MC. Personally I found it a little too hard focused on the "action" which got a little samey with constantly killing aliens or w/e. But ymmv.

      Otherwise Seras' previous novel: Pokemon Trainer Vicky is pretty solid too , if obviously much different settings wise, but otherwise "feels" very similar. It was abandoned when Seras started writing this novel, but whats there is worthwhile.

    1 Star ratings are from XXL burrito fans.


    This is a pretty good Cyberpunk 2077 fanfic with a system, decent character work, and pretty coherent lore. The start is really strong after a few chapters, cools off a bit as MC gets stronger and the latest arc has been starting wars in the comment section. The comment section on RR also has a lot of author interaction if you ever want official answers to stuff.

    Definitely binge worthy with a mix of harsh cyberpunk world and cozy slice of life stat grinding.
