    When the System Apocalypse hits, Jane finds herself more and more in the role of a “Mary Sue”. What is going on that makes her that special…or is it really all about her?

    Ready to propose to Livia, her long-time girlfriend, Jane wakes up to humanity being digitised into an alien computer system. She seems to be the only person to notice, and when the System starts to manifest for people, the only one to question it. When the System seems to bend backwards to fulfil her every wish, giving her extra powers and surrounding her with a harem, she plays along, ready to grab at any straw to find out what really is going on.


    “Livia and Me” is a slow-burn System Apocalypse story following the life of Jane, a 21-year-old bisexual. It includes characters from the whole LBGTQ+ “letter salad” (even a straight side character or two), many of whom come with traumatic events (suicide, self-harm, murder, parental abuse, etc.) weighing them down.

    Content warning:

    • Traumatic events (suicide, self-harm, murder, parental sexual abuse, etc.) in the backstory of characters. These are referred to in the story and in various way, including grapic descriptions.
    • Includes characters admitting they weren't virgins when they turned 18.
    • Note: Only one character is younger than 18 during the events of the story; she's 17y364d12h when she joins the story. Bonus chapters do include flashbacks, but no depictions of sexual activity.
    • Includes themes of mind control, including for characters who engage in adult activities.
    • Includes characters who have wrong opinions.
    • Includes evil characters doing evil things.
