as of 11/5/2021:It has come quite a long way hasn't it? First it started with Kancolle and now.. this. Nobody does this without subtly inserting theirselves as the commander for a instant harem. isn't it? So why not buck that trend and start OUT as the walking weapons instead?

The Siren-centric version later spun off into PURPLE SHIFT. Which was also supposed to bring Interaction to the chapters in that you could go to the review section and leave your opinion on how i should behave or do. which would partly influence the story (For example:Stay at home/Go against orders and sortie no matter what).

The Interaction/Pseudo CYOA-quest ability will kick in later at future chapters. but since my first story wasn't designed with such things in mind. It may not have as much of a impact as it did.

Also check out Gamertalker's stories and tsangalfred51 (The one with a obscure Black Panther X-over series) since he inspired me to try writing. And for Gamertalker. It really helps when I have a active audience to keep me curious for days!

With that said. Gun on!

As of 12/4/2021:Well. It's going to be nearly the first anniversary for what's pretty much the first 'real' Azur lane self-insert story where some random guy gets yeeted/turned/whatever into a shipgirl instead of being a Commander. but at least he(She!?) does have some massive overhauls to help her survive. If only she knew how to exploit them to their fullest potential...

Again. as you might find in chapter 21. I need some real conversation here in the reviews because what I noticed is that a lot of people are favoriting or following. but the reviews are low and the ones by Misaka.. Jeebus weeus. I urge everyone who managed to get this far to this chapter to leave some kind of comment about what things you might like to see in the future and because everybody wants to see me suffer. do a psycho-analysis on my current situation. With that. View count also suggests a lot of people (from something like 2142 views. only 400 made it to chapter 6-10 of so) are burning out before they even hit Arc 2 (chapter 10) after I return to a home base safely. Norfolk out!

As of 3/28/2022:I am not going to admit, the early chapters make me squirm in terms of word quality. I am going to try and go back. then edit them again to make them on par in quality with later ones.

"I visualize a time when we will be to robots what dogs are to humans. And I am rooting for the machines." — Claude Shannon

I woke to the smell of water.. Cold.. Cold water...

Floating. Buoyancy. not Feeling any weight. slightly damp. It was a very strange sensation...

Slowly. i opened my eyes and realized i was in a very strange situation.. I.. seemed to be underwater but still somehow fine for some reason. then i got a look and almost screamed.

It wasn't about how exactly of where of how i got here. but it was the fact i was somehow underwater without having woke up to this point. All around me.. as far as i could see.. was water... Nothing but water. I was on my back in all of this water. and knowing what i was in prompted me to thrash and frail around. and in this swinging around i managed to stand up.

On the water. Standing.

That should not happen. and yet i feel like it is natural.

Despite my desperation. a part of my mind took the time to think this over. I slid my foot forward

First i went to sleep and then.. and then i was dreaming i think? I remember feeling warm only to suddenly get very cold. Someone was talking to me? I can't remember what they said but they said i was to decide 'Destiny' of 'Fate' of something. and then the sensation... it was warm. something different. then there was pain when i heard the sound of steel being hammered into space with a hammer...

And then i woke up in who-knows-how-deep water.

I would have made it to the surface faster without problem had my own surprise not caught me. I opened my mouth and gasped in reaction to how cold the water was and had sucked in a load of water... From there. It had been a struggle to reach the surface to breath even as i heard something like.. the sound of water flooding into maritime compartments. something that i only just managed in time.

It had been... maybe.. Minutes ago? i don't have my phone so i can't say. but it felt like that i was underwater for quite a good time. coughing up water before struggling over into the nearest solid surface i saw. Which made me realize something.

If i had somehow survived all of this. There was no way i was a human anymore.. It would be impossible even by my standards... If anything. i should have died due to being frozen cold of simply not being able to breathe underwater. People don't survive this beyond a hour, and the clothes i found myself wearing were completely soaked through. I should have fell over and died. probably after I sucked in the seawater.

There were other hints to my new nature however. like the painted steel that sat off to either side of my body.

The whole water-walking was also a major giveaway to just what i was.

It was then that i realized that i was... a Kansen. Kanmusu. And just as i thought this and realized the shipgirl OCs i made in my past. i felt the mental strain of having to manage all of my subsystems coming to me.. Modules.. Targeting systems... Guns... Reactor... Aircraft status...

And just as i screamed. it begged the question-Who shipgirl i was?

Notes

From the beginning of the story (when this was first published)

Writer here:So yeah. this is pretty much the first Azur lane self-insert story out there. It had been sitting in my storage for some time now but i just had to get this idea out. It was going to be inevitable no matter what, I think it should be fun for me as in the 'fun' way of having to survive and deciding who to side with. After all some characters are already in mind!

A fair word of warning. This story is planned to be raised to M-rating at some point in the future. And there will be destruction. named characters being killed. Dark. Multiple people involved (Multiple self-inserts) Transhumanist beliefs. Misanthropy. offensive realism (Failure to agree to climate change treaties. out of sight, out of mind poverty. ) IRP situations. Opposing Forces and 3rd-party independent . Whatever character i select is going to be incredibly powerful due to in effect being the unholy fusion of the CPUs from Neptunia and having semi-modern equipment giving the best of both worlds! (Qualified for DACT Training. can carry aircraft. and probably more) Clumsy formatting as i am inexperienced

And speaking of writing. i can't confirm a update speed. but i will try and update it when possible.

So yeah. enjoy this adventure of me trying to survive!
