Another World Game Developer Chapter 76 Discussion

  • #1
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

Edit: c76

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
