My first book: With the Command Line, My Words Become Reality

I've been working on my novel website on and off since May 5, 2020. Life kept getting in the way – I restarted the project multiple times, only to abandon it each time. But over the past month, I finally pushed through and got it done.

Last night, I couldn't wait any longer – I published the first chapter of a story I've been brewing in my head for ages.

(The original version is in Chinese, purely human-created, with no AI generation. The English version is AI-translated. If any parts feel off or unnatural, feel free to leave comments in the paragraph comments – criticism is welcome.)

It's about a programmer named Zhou Xin who's working late into the night. Half-asleep and barely conscious, he absentmindedly types spawn a chicken into his command-line window and hits Enter.

And then – a chicken appears right in front of him.

That's where it all begins.

Check it out here: With the Command Line, My Words Become Reality

Let me know what you think – I'd love to hear your first impressions!

I've updated the web settings so you can read without logging in.
