In a world desecrated by AI-war, Egg leads his found family of cyberpunk mercenaries in a bid to survive in the face of a slow human extinction. After we hit the AI with a logic virus—the Stilling—it rendered humankind infertile in its death throes. Egg believes that he is among the last generation, until he discovers a teenage girl inside a corporate blacksite. Now, it's Egg vs the corps who would exploit her, and he isn't even sure if she is a real human or something new. What to expect: • cyberpunks with personality defects • hacking scenes inspired by real exploits • high stakes gun play (gimmick ammo and all) • a society tearing itself to shreds • finding one last thing to care about Complete! I am also creating an audiobook and posting it to Spotify. You can support me by checking out the eBook on Kindle and other eBook retailers.

Both levers trail the field

Traffic and conversion are both below comparable stories. Cadence is the first lever — stories posting near-daily reached 25 followers 17% of the time; stories posting every few days almost never did. Get the flow going, then re-check conversion.

Benchmarks: 8,060 active Royal Road stories, percentiles within the 50–149 chapters band, cohort of 2026-07-02. Conversion is measured as followers gained per 1,000 views over the recent window.
