You Asked Me to Ruin the Company, So What Is This Game of the Year?

Jiang Shu transmigrates to a parallel world, where his greatest dream is to live a "busy" life, collecting rent from morning till night.

Then one day, he receives a commission.

If he can get a runaway heiress to obediently return home and inherit the family business, the client will give him the peaceful retirement he's always dreamed of.

That's when Jiang Shu learns that the heiress has a rather unrealistic dream of her own:

She wants to make the best game in the world!

"..."

How hard can that be?!

Jiang Shu has barely played any games, and he knows nothing about game design.

But if he just does the opposite of what the successful games on the market are doing, surely his games can't become hits, right?

And yet...

After joining the heiress's company, Jiang Shu watches the employees keep having epiphanies and saying, "I've got it!" He also watches each new game become an even bigger hit than the last, and falls into deep thought.

"I said a game with no attack button would be impossible to play! What the heck is this Vampire Survivors?!"

"I said playing cards were outdated and nobody was interested anymore! How is your Balatro selling like crazy?!"

"I said people have no friends to play games with! How did your It Takes Two win Game of the Year?!"

Then, at the TGA awards ceremony...

Staring at the Game of the Year trophy in his hands, Jiang Shu finally loses it.

"Listen, I can explain! I really came here to run this company into the ground!"
