[Modern Urban Life] dramatically revamped into a [World-Class Management Game]: “We’re leaving the world in your hands!”
Zhao Lingxiao wakes up one morning with a new modifier ability, and the world suddenly becomes anything but ordinary.
The title “Chosen GM” sticks to her like glue in an instant.
The System tells her: Everyone can have an ability, but they have to be “alive to enjoy it.” We must select the best, compete, grow bigger and stronger, and take everything back.
A predecessor leaves her this advice: I don’t know how to handle this either. I just set up a framework, but I believe you can do it.
(At first) Zhao Lingxiao: I smell “moral dilemmas” and blame-shifting. No worries, everything’s under control.
(Later) Zhao Lingxiao: I’m fixing it! I’m fixing it! Yours first, then yours. Stop rushing me!
Her roommate turns into an “imposter” and knocks on the door. A brat pokes a hole through an apartment building with one finger. A giant “slug” crawls down the road. A floating matchbox that grills and steams food at the same time...
Danger! Danger! Danger!
An unemployed corporate drone becomes the “Chosen GM,” going from saving her four-digit bank balance to [saving the world].
Just what the hell went wrong?!
“Why is our family so poor?!”
[That’s right, the house was robbed. The things are gone, and so are the people.]
It’s never too late to mend the fence after the sheep are gone.
[Reader’s Guide]
1. Very little romance, and no romantic competition. The story is plot-driven, with a large ensemble cast and a focus on friendship and family. Supporting characters have romances too, and everyone’s ending depends on how the story unfolds. It’s classified as romance because the female lead theoretically has someone she likes, but the odds are steep, and they probably won’t get together until the very end.
2. Urban superpowers with a touch of horror and mystery.
3. Just thinking about what I’m writing makes me want to laugh.
4. Set in a fictional world. Don’t read it as a reflection of reality.
