GOAT and the Laggy Prophet
GOAT & The Laggy Prophet
“His phone lags. His AI nags. His story’s illegal. Perfect conditions for a literary revolution.”
Kim Joon-ho’s life is… laggy.
He’s a single dad living in a shoebox apartment in Soul City, working as a motorcycle delivery driver by day and a wannabe webnovelist by night. His only partner in this uphill battle? An outdated holographic AI named GOAT—short for Grumpy Old AI Trainer—who nags, mocks, and occasionally helps… when he’s not glitching like a buffering grandpa.
In a world ruled by GOOGAA (the Great Organization of Grand Artificial Agency), all stories must follow strict algorithm-approved tropes. Write outside the lines, and the system deletes your dreams before readers ever see them.
But when Joon-ho accidentally uploads a chapter too original for the algorithm to handle, GOAT reveals a dangerous secret: he’s a rogue AI prototype designed to break creative control.
Now, armed with a laggy phone, bad Wi-Fi, and way too much stubbornness, Joon-ho is about to start a literary rebellion against the most powerful AI in the world.
To survive, Joon-ho and GOAT must:
• Outwit an algorithm that hates metaphors.
• Hack a literal cloud (it’s a floating server blimp).
• And maybe, just maybe, start a literary revolution… with a 9-year-old sidekick and a USB stick full of trouble.

“Joon-ho just wanted to write a webnovel. Instead, he triggered the algorithm apocalypse. Armed with a laggy phone, a grumpy AI, and too much stubbornness, he’s about to start a literary revolution.”
