My name is Lu Yu. In my previous life, I was a workaholic who thrived on workplace competition. From the start, I received the “Relax and Win System.”
As long as I eat, drink, and have fun with my employees, I can exchange it all for wealth. The more I take it easy, the more money I make.
In this life, I'm going to enjoy myself and take it easy to the very end!
I'm Liu Mengyuan. In my previous life, I was a good-for-nothing girl. From the start, I received the “Dream Come True Guarantee System.”
As long as my employees and I work hard, our skills are guaranteed to improve. Heaven rewards diligence.
In this life, I'm going to burn through my youth and compete to the very end!
But now the two of us have started a business at the same game company. What are we supposed to do? I'm online waiting, and it's urgent...
As the two of them take turns pushing their employees to the limit, the games get stranger and stranger:
It was supposed to be a catgirl adventure game, so why are perverts the key to solving everything?
It was supposed to be an island farming game, so why am I piloting a whale and trading blows with Captain Jack Sparrow?
It was supposed to be an urban workplace simulator, so why can my trash talk physically hurt my boss?
It was supposed to be a classic sword-and-magic fantasy, so why are a slime girl and a spider girl hidden in the village chief's house in the starting village?
It was supposed to be a VR dating sim, so why does my cyber girlfriend try to kill me right from the start?
It was supposed to be a card battle game, so why do the rules require me to flirt with the opponent's black-stockinged card player?
Many years later, a reporter visited the headquarters of the trillion-yuan Taoyuan Group.
Chairman Lu Yu had just woken from a nap. He stared at the reporter in confusion.
“I really just wanted to take it easy. How did I accidentally end up changing the world?”
CEO Liu Mengyuan held a cat and munched on snacks, just as bewildered.
“If I told you my greatest talents are eating and petting cats, would you believe me?”
I feel the author has some misconceptions. The protagonist's system simply prevents involution; maximizing benefits is enough. It doesn't mean the protagonist has to be careless and perfunctory in game development, nor can he rely on his subordinates to improvise indefinitely.
Well, it's basically the same thing in a different guise, similar to the premise of Titanfall. I'll have to look at the details later.
The female lead is an exhibitionist who always carries a yogurt container with her. Every time she and the protagonist finish having sex, she doesn't wipe it clean. Instead, she comes out holding the yogurt container and says that the yogurt was spilled. It's so perverted, and no one else would think anything of it.
The leisure points system feels a bit weak. A month-long vacation only yields less than 30,000 points, which are otherwise useless. Meanwhile, the company's second game generated tens of millions in revenue. Based on this concept, the protagonist wouldn't necessarily completely weed out the underperforming members, provided they provide a comfortable working environment.
Author, you need to understand that the domestic single-player game environment is not optimistic, especially considering the protagonist's timeline. You might release it and it could be unpacked the very next minute; those pirate websites are watching closely.
The theme of this book seems familiar; I read a book whose synopsis described a male protagonist struggling financially while a female boss squanders her money.
Is this plagiarism? Plagiarism looks so awkward. I prefer original works and heavily modified versions.
This novel should be classified as "science fiction".
Now I understand why this book did so poorly. I think this book is very good, but I don't feel a strong sense of connection with it. The game's name is mostly original, and much of the content is also original. The originality is both its strength and its weakness. Because it's not a game I'm familiar with, the more I watch, the less I feel immersed. Seeing the paid section makes me hesitant about whether to subscribe.
It's pretty good, but the male lead's company is too fantastical, making it hard to relate to. 🙄
