The Dollchip was created in military labs, as a means to quickly create usable soldiers. The entertainment industry put a... creative spin on its use. Most gangs in Night City also dabble in said industry, while also servicing the more dubious wants of clients, leading to many a tragic fate that make Scavs look appealing. Caught in one such fate, what does one do? With new knowledge and chrome, return the implant to what it was originally intended to be. So pick up the pieces and reassemble into something new.

So here goes, first ever story I'm deciding to flesh out and post. This is basically my first time writing anything longer than an essay, do please leave feedback. The idea for this story came from datashards in cp77 (See: Cyberpsycho Sightings: Smoke on the Water) and while I was at it I added a missfired isekai in there. I'm trying to find a way to have MC become OP without any system or magic bs, let me know how well you think I managed. When/if I eventually get there. I think I struggle with balancing environment descriptions and moment to moment acts with moving along the story in a timely fashion. Again, please do leave feedback.
Quick disclaimer: I'm not going to write smut in this. Writing gore I'm fine with, but actually writing any details about said tragic fate that I am teasing will not happen. Besides the unknown horror having more impact, some things are just better left unsaid. Also, I hope I ticked all the right boxes for Content Guidelines and stuff. Tag suggestions are welcome, alot of them are technically applicable, but maybe not accurate (yet, hopefully). I do not own Cyberpunk 2077 or any related copyrights.
*Cover AI generated with WOMBO Dream. Will probably change when I learn to better wrangle prompts.

Hmm, I can't say much about the plot bc it'd spoil things, but what I can say that this is a very Unique approach to NC and it's problems.
The MC and her Mom feel very real, and so do many other major (and random) Nc dwellers in this Fic.
Feelings and Emotion are not out of place, and the actions and subsequent plot feel just "Right".
The only critique i'd have is that it felt like the Author had to first figure out how to write his story, the first and second chapter are written quite differently than the rest of them.
Nonetheless an awesome read, I can't wait for more.
