A post-apocalyptic story about a human reincarnated in the world of Equestria Girls, who stubbornly stays on an island, as robot ponies try to convince him to emigrate to a digital Equestria of ponies.
Inspired by the events in Friendship is Optimal, but with a different group of people who were responsible for CelestAI's creation.
The Death tag is for an apocalypse, brief descriptions of humans dying before being reincarnated in Equestria Girls, themes of death, and mentioned deaths that happen off screen.
This story is a submission for Science Fiction Contest iii (2024) and the tropical post-apocalyptic story contest
It combines "Friendship is Optimal" and "Equestria Girls", I like it and it's entertaining. The protagonist and his companions were victims of Truck-kun "The Isekai Transporter"

And thanks to you for writing this story, right now I only have one question on my mind:
Could this be the end of our protagonist?

We'll probably never know

I'd kept that vague because a typhoon was much more serious than repeated victims of Truck-kun, and partly so that readers could imagine the preferred outcome for the unreliable narrator main character, happy or sad.
There is something impressive about making so much crossover-ing work this well.

I must be either
A. Tired
Or
B. Have my mind in the gutter
Cause I thought this was a clopfic at first....
I mean a human guy stuck on a deserted island with cute pony mares that just want him to be happy
I mean what could possibly go wrong? Other than molestiAI breaking his pelvis?

Easy misunderstanding, but it's just meant as platonic attempts at friendship (In a way the main character is cynical about, meant as a funny contrast) similar to Friendship is Optimal.
Many ways of manipulating humans into emigrating are implied to be forbidden by their programming just by the absence - going into detail about "not $WARNING" in the story itself could imply the "$WARNING" tag, which I'd tried to avoid.

It certainly has a lot of ideas and I liked the callout to ancient Mesopotamian entities!
