Isekai, self-insert MC, space empire, overpowered, do I need to say more? Oh right, I use Chat-GPT for this, just dump a bunch of ideas in, copy the barely coherent mess and paste it here. This is for anyone who see all of that and are still interested: I want to make a novel with as realistic physics as possible.

This is my very first book, so expect no planning and shitty execution, even with GPT.
