Finished Stories, You Cuties
A personal list of completed novels
From the Heart
Read with caution. This list has a lot of unfinished books. Right now, it's a mix of fanfiction, food stories, career stories, and imaginative stories. The last category is for books I find intriguing! These are books I genuinely love and some I'm currently following. Sorry! I only update the list when I have time. Thanks for stopping by!
True Insight: Games Like Illusions (Game Development Novels)
Mainly sharing game-development stories. If you know works like these, please recommend them in the comments. Everyone is also welcome to bookmark and follow the list. Updated irregularly.
Quiet Recommendations, Whether Finished or Just Starting Out
Some really great novels can't be recommended because of restrictions on their subject matter. That's Qidian's fault, you know how it is (￣∀￣). I'll put one here instead: Weapon Master.

In the realm of hardcore shooting games, Escape from Tarkov is undoubtedly the most popular (in every aspect). As for military simulations, Arma is indeed the most authoritative, but its fanbase is too small; personally, I feel it can't compare to Squad Tactics or Hell on Earth (a side note: the Insurgency series is also quite hardcore; you can check it out if you're interested).
What is Genshin Impact?
It's a pile of dog poop, anyone have a problem with that? My emotions are much more stable after quitting this fandom.
Pictures in the book
Phantom Beast Paru Outline Modification
When I was writing the chapter about the mythical beast Paru, one chapter of this book was unusually censored. The censored chapter was titled "Crazy Chicken's Diary." The censors deemed this game to have suggestive content, so the censorship was even more stringent than with "Sex and the Beast." Unfortunately, I had to revise the outline and plot. This part won't be explored in too much detail. Please be aware.
Many people don't understand why discussions about game development inevitably revolve around Hara, and why mentioning Hara immediately leads to accusations of pay-to-win mechanics. For these people, I suggest they first understand the current state of the single-player game industry; many video creators on various platforms have made videos on this topic.
I specifically subscribed to a chapter to criticize those who say the origin can't be avoided.
1. There are other games that allow you to make money besides the original ones, and there are other games that allow you to make a lot of money besides the original ones. 2. Rice isn't the only profitable manufacturer, and rice isn't the only manufacturer that makes big money. 3. Before the original game was released, were there no gacha games? No pay-to-win games? No cash cow games?
When writing about games, you can't avoid mentioning Genshin Impact.
Suggestion
While using many references and memes can easily resonate with readers, using too many can overshadow the book's overall quality and make it harder for the book to be remembered.
Recommendation (The author is advised to watch this after meals)
Speaking of making games, you shouldn't just focus on hardcore games. Competitive and social games are also essential. The studio has two teams: one working on hardcore games to build a reputation, and the other on online and mobile games to make money. As long as they manage the monetization strategy well, can't they still make good games?
Black Wukong is coming out soon. If this game doesn't reach 500 RMB in revenue and doesn't generate 10 million copies sold, then all domestic single-player games will have to learn from miHoYo.
