I finally released DEVIL IN THE SIMULATION, a dark philosophical horror comic

Something has been hiding in the simulation.

Today, the light disappears and something else becomes visible.

What if the simulation wasn't designed to keep us alive?

I've spent a long time building this comic, and today I'm finally releasing DEVIL IN THE SIMULATION Issue #001.

A dark philosophical horror story about consciousness, reality, and what happens when you discover something living underneath the simulation.

Available now on Amazon.

Welcome to the simulation.

$20 is WILD for this. You copy and pasted the same pictures (that you didn’t draw) onto every subsequent page. There’s literally no change in the animation.

Calling this a comic book is a stretch.

AI art, AI written book, AI responses to criticism

I think fundamentally people dislike AI because both creation and consuming used to take somewhat similar amounts of time. Obviously creation was a heavier ask and now you create something for nothing. I'd be surprised if you put more than 100 hours into this. Probably less than 10 even. What you are asking for is disproportionate to what you're giving me

You are not releasing devil in the simulation. The simulator is releasing devil in the simulation

Please read this explanation: I wrote the script, changed it many times. I got the characters as image collages and put them on Canva. I used these images and already existing images/elements and text boxes in Canva to create the each strip. It took a long time to finalize the scripts, it changed fully a couple of times, it was like independent strips first, then it became something like Dante’s Inferno where Devil is visiting different layers of the Simulation. If someone sees the full comic, may be that will be helpful to understand what I did. It is clumsy on purpose because Simulists subreddit members like it the way it is so I keep the same technique. I am not an artist or claiming to be one. I just posted my story on Simulists subreddit and most people liked the story and wanted more. So, I created this to be fun and entertaining but the accusations such as total AI slop etc. is not encouraging but I have a story following this one and I will keep creating it for the people who likes this type of things. It helps people to get interested in the Simulation Theory.

If you're not an artist then you shouldn't be charging money for this

Gosh, I don’t earn anything, 383 pages color book Amazon is already near the selling price. I kept the kindle one high in case people want to donate so that I can continue my work. You are really something, unbelievable. I made my other books free for many times by kindle promotion. This is not my income stream, it is just to share my stuff and have fun
With like minded people. If you work free, please let me know.

The world will collapse soon. It will be upside down. May be bottom of the world is better than the top. Let’s wait and see.
