This is an amazing a decent piece of work. The plot pacing is very good and the characters are very interesting.

The novel is about a game developer who reincarnates into a world of magic and when push comes to shove, he starts developing magical games to solve his school's financial troubles. The premise is similar to "The Sacred Land Is Going Bankrupt, I Invented a Mobile Phone!", "Otherworld TRPG Game Master" and so on. But the execution sets it apart from the novels of this archetype.

Writing quality and translation quality both are pretty great. I also like how this novel introduces a subtle but scathing indictment of today's hyper-monetized gaming industry. A very enjoyable read indeed. 9.6/10

Translation quality has gotten slightly downhill with mistakes in names (eg. Vin vs Bean, Zers vs Jars). This happens more than once or twice in every chapter. It's not terribly disrupting though. Theres also issue with number translation. Eg. Prize money goes from 1 billion to 100 million to 1 million. Don't know if that is translation or writing errror. Revised rating : 8.3/10

It can't be more obvious that they are blindly using MTL - character genders are also frequently mistranslated, going to and fro. This significantly disrupts the reading experience. Revised rating: 4/10 <<less

Dropping this. Honestly I like the "introducing games/culture in a fantasy world" stories but the male to female ratio of characters is annoying.

Too much emphasis and description on women and their appearance. It's horrible in terms of plausibility that MC as a game developer attracts pretty women instead of eccentric people from different ages.

Anyone who's helpful to MC must be a pretty woman even the enemy is a seductress.

Isn't there a proper cultural invasion story without authors simping on unnecessary female characters. FML

If you know anything about creative work, this will definitely annoy you greatly.

Claiming someone else's work as their own, typical genius praise all around, s*ave driver and it only takes an all nighter to finish anything.

Everytime these creative work reincarnation appears, it's always the above. Yes it's a fine novel to read and kill time, as long as you don't think too deeply and just accept it as is.

Honestly this novel was quite good, seeing the popular games in our world being made in another world and that other worlds residents reacting to it, but this was only true for around the first half of the novel.

After the first half everything just felt rushed, it doesn't even go into depth about how the games was made or even the reactions to it anymore, it just went on these weird and sometimes random tangents that in my opinion aren't that interesting, it even just ditched and disregarded two semi-main... more>> characters that were really interesting by giving them really unsatisfying conclusions.

I won't say any spoilers but it minimised or even got rid of what made this novel fun. The ending even felt completely rushed and didn't give me the sadness and satisfaction that comes from finishing a novel like others I've read.

Conclusion, fun novel but went downhill after the first half. <<less

Better than don't have any game dev novels this days.

I like the concept using crystals ball as console / catriges for both make games and store it inside.

Why 3 star................ The story got rushed. Feels like got axed.

The potential is there culture invasion with Nintendo games, Sega rivals but sadly all of it cut short in the story.
