I Sold Everything I Had to Make Games [Interstellar]

You Yiyi transmigrates into a cyberpunk world where artificial intelligence has taken all the jobs, leaving humans with nothing but online games to earn money. Two and a half years later, with a thousand star coins saved from scavenging and a game pod she found worth a hundred million, You Yiyi finally gets to play a full-dive game. But the games on this planet leave her bitterly disappointed: Miner's Glory, Love and the Miner, Mining Elite, Digging for Gold... There are millions of games, but only one way to play: swing a pickaxe and mine for gold. There's no gameplay, level design, or reward system to speak of. All they have is the same monotonous cycle of digging and panning for gold. They might as well call it Cyberpunk Miners. You Yiyi is struck by how impoverished Blue Star's gaming culture is. Here, gaming is synonymous with being poor. The high-and-mighty upper class wouldn't touch it. All the game companies are unbearably arrogant. Even when their games are utter crap, the people in the slums have no choice but to swallow their complaints. Before transmigrating, she worked in the gaming industry. Furious, she slams the table. "With technology this advanced and equipment this cutting-edge, this is the crap you make?" "Let me show you the wonder of the ninth art!" * Half a month later, You Yiyi sinks everything she owns into making a game, and it takes the world by storm. The unchanging mining games instantly shift into an adrenaline-fueled thrill ride. Gaming platforms crash from overload, gaming devices sell out, Game streamers become top-tier stars, and content creators become a hot career. The upper class offer the poor ten times the price for their used game pods and get turned down. The rich kneel with their wallets, begging You Yiyi to take their money, and get nothing but an eye roll. Taking money from the rich and putting it in the pockets of the poor and herself. Hmm... How is that not cyberpunk-style robbing from the rich to give to the poor? Reader's Guide: 1. The male lead appears throughout the story, but there's little romance.
