Description

“I, Shen Miaomiao, reluctantly took over a game company at the start.” Fortunately, the rebate system awakened just in time. As long as the company incurred losses, the system would compensate me with ten times the amount! So, the goal of this young CEO is to bring the company down! Financial freedom! “I, Gu Sheng, transmigrated into a game designer at the start.” Fortunately, the Game Treasury System awakened, allowing me to climb to the throne of the Game King by creating hit games! So, the goal of this Game Director is to expand and create brilliance once again! … When a laid-back CEO encounters a determined game designer, the company’s direction gradually becomes abstract. “You said no one plays mech games? What is this ‘Titan’s Fall’ you created?” “You said the horror game market is lacking? What’s the deal with this ‘Escape’ game?” “You said second-generation shooters are easy to lose money? Are you remaking ‘Call of Duty’?” As Shen Miaomiao looked at the profitable financial reports, her mind buzzed. Not a single penny was lost, so she made up her mind! “From now on, let’s torture the players mercilessly!” She couldn’t believe that she couldn’t lose this money! Upon hearing this, Gu Sheng unfolded a stack of game proposals in his hands. “Boss, take a look at these—’Black Blood Renegade’ and ‘Wolf.’ Which one should we start with?”

My Thoughts on Agreeing to Create Bad Games, What the Hell Is ‘Titanfall’?

This novel has been quite the rollercoaster! The premise alone, with clashing systems and goals, immediately grabbed my attention, promising a wild ride of comedic misunderstandings and unexpected outcomes. While the execution isn't perfect, there's definitely a lot to enjoy here.

First Impressions

The initial chapters are hilarious! The dynamic between the MC, who wants to create awesome games based on his past life knowledge, and the FL, who’s determined to lose money and tank the company, is fantastic. Their conflicting goals lead to some truly funny situations, and I found myself hooked on seeing how their plans would hilariously backfire (or succeed despite themselves).

What Works Well

The core concept is genuinely unique. Seeing a character knowingly "plagiarize" games from our world, only for them to be perceived as innovative masterpieces in this alternate reality, is a fun twist on the isekai trope. I especially enjoyed the "married couple" dynamic that develops between the two leads, even amidst their chaotic business strategies. The romance, while slow-burn, adds a nice layer to the story. Many readers praised the humor derived from the gamers' reactions to the games, and I can see why – it adds to the overall comedic appeal.

Areas of Concern

However, there are definitely aspects that could be improved. The extensive descriptions of streamer reactions and bullet comments, while intended to be funny, can become overwhelming and tedious. I found myself skimming through these sections at times, as they didn't always add significant value to the story. The premise can feel somewhat repetitive after a while, especially when the success of the copied games seems almost guaranteed, removing some of the unpredictability.

Just be prepared to skim through some of the streamer reaction sections!
