[No System] [Single Female Lead] [Game Development] [Half Urban, Half Game]
After being reborn, Su Sheng only wants to do three things: build a career in game development, live life seriously, and love the person he loves.
In this world, a desert devoid of games, Su Sheng receives unexpected praise and recognition.
Happy Farm is released.
Player: This game awakened the farming instincts that had been sleeping in me for a long time.
Player 2: This game only requires setting four alarms a day: 1 a.m., 5 a.m., 11 a.m., and 4 p.m.
Expert: As urbanization accelerates and the urban population continues to grow, many people have lost their connection to the land. We need games like this to fill that gap.
Expert 2: Student Su's idea of preserving and promoting traditional culture in this way, turning it into an emotional and spiritual refuge, is simply fantastic!
Jiu Zhou-Style Parents is released.
Player: I was in high school and could not even speak. I scored only a few points on every exam. By the end, I had accumulated several thousand Insight points, then studied like crazy. I could generally get into Peking University, Tsinghua, or something like that in the college entrance exam.
Player 2: At school, I usually crawled everywhere. I crawled to the school store, and even crawled onto the stage when running for class study monitor. Yet on the night before my college entrance exam, not only could I stand up, I had also learned to play basketball.
A certain representative: “Student Su's painstaking depiction of the students' spiritual world through this method is truly admirable. After playing for several hours, I felt so miserable that I have decided to submit a proposal for ‘double reduction’ at next year's assembly!”
At a certain press conference.
Reporter: Mr. Su Sheng, do you really make games through philosophy?
Su Sheng: Well... I have indeed read a tiny little bit of books.
To be honest, the book is alright, but I hate those who misrepresent their work. Urban fiction shouldn't be veiled in the game channel. Strongly negative review.
Shennong's Poison Testing🌱: Reviews so far, up to chapter 33.
In short: A well-written urban game novel that's worth reading. Detailed impressions: I personally enjoy the Happy Farm game where you steal crops, so after reading the introduction, this article immediately caught my eye and I was interested in reading on. I've read up to chapter 33 so far, and my impression is— 1. Suitable for patient readers who enjoy urban romance novels.
Why doesn't the author switch to urban settings?
Your writing style is quite good, but you should write about urban 7/3 games instead. In the gaming channel, all the urban games you've written about are just side stories; there's no need to change the original 7/3 setting.
The beginnings were well-written, but the book changed the moment the female lead appeared. If you call it a game novel, it's still stuck in a farm setting after dozens of chapters; if you call it a campus novel, the character development is too shallow. The male lead seems to lose his mind the moment the female lead appears. If the author isn't good at writing character emotions, I suggest glossing over them.
A fair assessment: the farm is too long. It should be shorter.
Why start with a school setting? Why would a game novel need so much about school settings?
First of all, the writing is indeed quite good, but the plot progresses too slowly. A simple QQ Farm story has taken so many chapters and is still not finished... But these flaws don't detract from its overall appeal; it's quite to my liking.
Let me rant
I've read about thirty chapters, and the plot and characters are fine, but some of the basic settings are really distracting. I couldn't resist, so I subscribed and decided to post this to vent. Brother, don't you do any research before writing your book? Go back to 2014 and make Happy Farm? The game was already dead by then. And do you want to check when NetEase went public? 😑
Stop writing about games and just stick to writing urban romance novels. This kind of double-dealing makes the pacing too slow.
The writing is smooth, and the main character is well-developed.
This character design is so much better than the previous one, Sugar has made great progress!
