To be honest, it's not bad, a decent read, except the realistic elements are a bit awkward. I previously read a book called "We Promised to Develop a Match-3 Game, But What's with Titanfall?", But its content had little to do with plagiarism and game development; it was more about history. This one seems to have a similar beginning, but I'm more optimistic about the one that plagiarizes the movie. Some of the game-related plot points do show the author's cleverness.
Actually, it was written as, "Rebirth: Am I Pure Black?"
If the Gotham game has a playtime of 60 hours, then the Riddler should take up at least 48 hours. The Riddler is an absolute must-play in Gotham.

Overall, it's a movie adaptation game, but it's not a simple adaptation or a mere "movie playback" as we might imagine. The game incorporates many other gameplay elements from the author, such as the Ace Attorney-style gameplay at the beginning and the Monopoly-style gameplay in the middle. I won't spoil the specifics.
The idea is good, but the pretentious and face-slapping plot feels like a short drama, with a distinctly ancient flavor.
The movie adaptation of the game was well-designed, which deserves praise. However, the clichéd face-slapping and backstabbing in the real-life plot is outdated, awkward, and unrealistic, disrupting the immersion. Some players and game companies have commented that the developers are just a bunch of Chinese idiom writers, and the "national destiny" plot is purely a fantasy.
The movie-to-game adaptation is well-written, but the background quality of the movie and the book is too different, making the business warfare parts seem silly. I suggest the author to downplay the background story, but of course, skipping over parts while reading won't be a big problem.
If movies are adapted into games, then other adapted games can too, right? For example, make a game called LPL, starting from Season 2, where you could choose Clearlove to fight to the death or kick Ruofeng out; choose Abu to die for his sister or not bring Clearlove into the team; or choose 55kai to break Faker's hand when shaking hands 🤭.
Batman is quite good, but the White Hawkman character is poorly designed. People in the White Hawk country like hard-working, successful elites and dislike elites with rigid class structures. The White Hawkman would be condemned to death in the White Hawk country.
First, let me clarify: this "national destiny" isn't the same as the "national destiny flow" game. This is about using a game to spark discussion and subsequently influence major international events. Also, the author should probably clarify this, revise the description, or pin the comments section.
