The Game Designer Is Too Cautious, and the Players Are Suffering

[Evil game dev] [Playing it safe] [Wacky players] [Gaming] [Sneaky tactics] [Hardcore grinding] An incredibly fun book. Our motto is: enjoy the game. Chen Yan, an unlucky game designer kicked out by his company, becomes the administrator of Planet 9527. He runs Planet Online as an MMO! “A brand-new version you've never played before! Ultra-realistic!” “Welcome to the Planet Online test server. Sure, the environment's a little rough, but it's all natural!” “That's right, the smog in the eastern district needs cleaning up! Bring all your aunts and uncles over to suck it all up! You can earn the Smog Devourer title!” “Player Thirteen, Muscle Barbie, has taken first place on this month's leaderboard. Your prize is one Psyduck, which you can put in your yard to remind you it's time to get up and grind!” “What's our motto? Grow bigger and stronger! Real men don't need rest. Work 996 plus 007, and you can make the leaderboard too!” Chen Yan hides expressionlessly behind the camera, smiling calmly. Do players need brains? No! All they need is to grind! “A good game designer should respect the players! I really didn't force them. They all volunteered!” All the players cry out in unison: “We volunteered! It's just that the designer plays too dirty!”
