Lamb Of Clay
If you're here for a black-haired prodigy who unlocks their true powers by chapter 3, then I thank you for your time, and politely suggest you turn around.
This isn't that kind of story.
An amnesic wakes up in a doll's body, empty, no name, no warmth, no talent.
Only memories that never existed, trapped inside a surreal, collapsing world where nothing makes sense and purpose must be carved by hand, she is not the chosen one— She isn't even chosen.
This is not a world that rewards effort, and yet she will bleed for progress.
Train for hours.
Swing poorly.
Stand again.
Fail again.
The story follows her— the Lamb of Clay— as she stumbles through horror, sanity, memory, absurdity, and silence.
There is no harem.
No system screen.
No instant gratification.
Only someone with no history, trying to forge meaning in a dying dream and learning about life through philosophical conundrums.
Yet at the same time, if you came just to see something really edgy, then this might not be what you seek. The doll will actually spread wings, these wings may be broken, but even broken wings help you to fall.
This is my billet-doux (a fancy word I've always wanted to use but never had the chance) to the written world. Sometimes it feels like a light novel, and other times like a novel. It's not perfect because it's not meant to be; it's mine, and I enjoy it being mine.
So prepare yourself, because my dream is ending, and I have to at least leave a footprint in this world of what was once my dream.
(As I mentioned before, this is my billet-doux, probably in 5-10 years the process of writing will just be a bunch of AI's with our personal data so I had to rush this without properly learning everything I wished I could, even if it's not a 10/10 masterpiece, the work is good enough to be at least 7/10 I also might or not might teach you something.)
Please share, and give comments about what you think...
Any feedback is appreciated as long as it makes sense and isn't pointless or biased rambling.
English is not my main language

Works that my friend said are similar: The metamorphosis, Made in Abyss, Dark Souls, and Puella Magi Madoka Magika... (I genuinely don't see it with the last one)
