Magical Girl Harmonia Lux [Superhero Schools] [Apocalyptic Invasions] [Progression]

Technomancer: A Magical Girl's Sidekick Volume 1 Retrospective / EDITED REUPLOAD LIVE!



Hey everyone, big day!

I've finished editing the first ~9 chapters of Technomancer: How I Became the Hapless Sidekick of the World's Greatest Magical Girl and extended multiple chapters by over 1000 words with tons more planned for the first two arcs. Instead of creating a changelog and reordering everything, I've decided to do a fresh upload for the story.

I may be incorrect with this conclusion, but I realized the fundamental issue with the first arc was that... I was in way too big of a hurry to get back to Terra. So the end result was that Ikki's Earth felt like more of a throwaway to a lot of readers that was ultimately pointless. The problem with the first two arcs ultimately wasn't just a 'pacing' issue - it was a failure to connect the worldbuilding together.

What I should've done, instead, was use the time on Terra to flesh out both the Terran side and Earth side a lot more - since the magical girls did canonically clear the way on Earth for resettlement.

I've improved a LOT since the second arc of Technomancer and through Volume 1 of Magical Girl Harmonia Lux. I hope that shows in this rewrite. Lux's Volume 1 has an arc or two left in it, but I figured it would be a good idea to get this done now because the worldbuilding will cross over significantly in the next two arcs.

So please, check it out. Enjoy, and please port your ratings / reviews over to help give it a kickstart!

Technomancer: How I Became the Hapless Sidekick of the World's Greatest Magical Girl (REWRITE!)

If you encounter this story on Amazon, note that it's taken without permission from the author. Report it.

Twelve years ago, the world as we knew it fell to the Aberrations. Cities across the world were ravaged, and entire civilizations fell.

But during Earth's darkest hour, swarms of unlikely saviors arrived through portals across the world. Soldiers with colorful, glowing hair wielding swords twice their size. Mech suits directly out of science fiction novels, and champions that instilled hope above all else — Terra's Magical Girls. These warriors stymied the tides of death and despair, and were hailed as heroes.

In the end — these warriors may saved Earth from complete destruction… but the world as the denizens of Earth knew it ended in ruin.

Ikki won't accept that life for his family — not anymore.

As the first child of Earth offered a scholarship to study magitech on Terra, he finally has a chance to change things. To learn the secrets of Terran magic and technology, to make a name for himself — and to build a future strong enough to protect his family and world. To fight so that his loved ones would no longer have to take on dangerous odd jobs just to make it to their next meal.

Then, on one final salvage run with his father's crew, everything goes horribly wrong and they are captured . But as he escapes his confines onto the open road, he finds something impossible. A sleek, pristine briefcase. Too pristine to be left in the ruins of a long-abandoned highway. Like it was waiting for him.

Inside was a Terran magitech construct — far more advanced than anything he'd ever studied. A machine that addressed him by name.

"I've been waiting for you… Ikazuchi."

Ikki once thought magical girls, world-ending monsters, and ancient conspiracies belonged in someone else's story. Fanciful tales for kids from the boonies like him to dream about.

But fate has plans — and it won't let him go without a fight.


What to expect: - A near-future cyberpunk setting with: Real Robots Mecha. Magitech. Frilly magical girls. Urban cyberfantasy.

- A 'weak' but useful protagonist.

-The usual horrifying extradimensional monsters associated with RR's Magical Girl subgenre.

-Lite LitRPG elements in the form of a tactical HUD and resource management apparatus that serves the plot.
