I Asked You to Build Bridges for Fun, Not Make the Whole Internet Cry!

[Game development] + [games that emotionally devastate players] + [subverting expectations] + [the whole internet loses it] + [mastermind behind the scenes]

Lin Yan transmigrates to a parallel world and takes over a bankrupt game studio, starting with a debt of a million.

He awakens the [Empathy Master Engine]. Make players feel intense emotions like regret, frustration, or despair, and he’ll earn god-tier technology and a fortune.

So...

“A bridge-building game? Cut the budget to the bone and offer a hundred thousand in prize money?”

“Watch me build a bridge for forty-five bucks using old newspapers and mud! Even capitalists would cry if they saw it!”

“Wait, why is there a little girl left behind in the village, bringing a cake to her grandma in level three? Why is she stepping onto my newspaper bridge?!”

“Don’t go! It’s pouring! The newspaper’s going to dissolve! The bridge is collapsing! No!”

Top-tier stars from across the internet are furiously slapping themselves on livestream, sobbing their hearts out as they beg to buy the titanium alloy blueprints.

And Lin Yan becomes the internet’s beloved and hated “Old Scoundrel Lin”!
