His Soul is Marching On to Another World; or, the John Brown Isekai (Total Nekonomic Collapse)

"The catgirls have nothing to lose but their collars. They have a world to win.
WORKING CATS OF ALL COUNTRIES, UNITE!"

Japan is an island by the sea filled with volcanoes, humans, and bipedal, humanoid cats. Known as the “cat paradise”, the nation boasts an impressive population of around nine million domestic catfolk with even more unaccounted-for strays. Many would assume that such a large nekonomy would trickle down to bring prosperity to the catfolk.

Cats, those that are “domestic” at least, are second-class citizens who can only freely travel with government-issued certification in the form of a bell around their neck. Strays (which compromise a majority of the cat population) are forced into workhouses and exploited as cheap labor. Those who cannot work in a profitable manner are kicked out of the workhouses and left to die on the streets.

A specter is haunting Japan – the specter of total nekonomic collapse, aided by another specter from a century past.

The John Brown Isekai is mainly hosted on RoyalRoad and ScribbleHub (which allows for images, this version uploaded on HoneyFeed lacks those).

Total Nekonomic Collapse is a novelette which has a story independent to the other volumes of the John Brown Isekai.
