Neon Divide

Outrun, Book 1

By: Lost Rain

Narrated by: Clara Rose

Aythryn City—truly a mess of neon and trash all supporting the psychopaths that live here. Desire is the name of the game in such a bright place, as anyone on the streets can verify. Whether it be the gangs roaming the streets, the corpo rats in their tall towers, or the people just trying to get by; everyone wants something.

Then enter me: a poor thief turned investigator just to make enough for end’s meet. Or at least, that’s how it was supposed to go down. Now though? Now I’m caught in several storms between stealing from one of the Big 7 to a weird interface telling me what to do. I just hope I can survive this cursed city long enough to make a better life.

Cyberpunk LitRPG

Great progression with some questionable choices expected of a 15 year old. Very entertaining.

If one likes Cyber Dreams by Plum Parrot they will like this. This even has more progression and fun than that. Where those books are around one job, this has mutliple fixer jobs.
It also has far more growth both in character and abilities. very recommended.

Great world building

New world building style. Half cyberpunk half fantasy with magic being present but standing side by side with tech. A good start to a new series.

great narration and story.

read on royal road as it was being written, wonderful narration truly brought the story to life. highly recommend.
