I Play Yu-Gi-Oh! Card Game Chapter 230ish Discussion

Look just wait a year to binge a decent chunk of this, or go to the raw site and either read MTL or read it raw cause you know Chinese.

Early on it's pretty solid, but I feel like players were just shoehorned in and only kept in place with some random glob of adhesive, like I love how it has NPC protag and access to the 'Forums', heck it has great comedic aspects, but it really felt that it's just a self-insert story with players added cause why not?.... Early on the chapters felt nice and long, but around 150? it felt like standard Chinese length story and subsequently shorter... The story is good, just the whole system and players were added for no particular reason in my books, it probably would've benefited if it explored the aspect more, explained some things better, and if it told us why only the MC can sell cards beyond "cause he has a system" (at least show players questioning that on the forums). Otherwise it could just not do the players, redid the players, or just completely redo the system cause it is not mentioned further other than "MC used all currency and barely got anything even tho it was pivotal to the player winning, because of eternal bad luck stat doesn't beat plot"... oh and even though the MC came from the future, he doesn't really ab*se his knowledge I don't think, but I can't say for the rest of the book

Spoiler

If I had one more thing to say, it just feels like the MC read Legendary Mechanic and was like "Ok, lemme take a bit of that to make it into my own thing"

Giving players random tasks that seem to serve no purpose

Loyal beta tester player that follow MC's every command cause quests

A streamer that has a fanbase and also follows the MC

MC is treated as a god by the players

MC runs a player store as an NPC

MC takes the money he receives from players to strengthen himself in someway usually beneficial

[collapse]

Closing thoughts, the book could be better, and I do like seeing scenarios of where the MC is a NPC or a gameworld that ain't Otome or JRPG, but yeah everything could be done way better instead of what felt like self-insert with players plastered into it... 3.6 it's a good time waster, but ugh the translations are too slow like seriously do you want to take 1000+ days to release something completed??
