Description
The Genesis of Misery by Neon Yang is a reimagining of Joan of Arc's story set in a space opera world. In this immersive tale, a young person named Misery Nomaki hears the voice of an angel claiming they have been chosen as a warrior to lead their people to victory in a holy war. Misery knows they are a fraud, having grown up on a remote moon colony where they don't believe in any kind of god. Their survival depends on mastering a holy mech and convincing the Emperor of the Faithful that they are the real deal. As Misery delves deeper into their charade, they start to doubt their convictions - what if this is all real? This story explores the nature of truth, the power of belief, and how these forces intersect in our stories.
