Transmigrated into the Gacha Game I Abandoned for 10 Years Chapter 142 Discussion

Why 3 stars?

Probably deserve less, but there is a public that might enjoy, and it seen to be rather comedic light hearted, so maybe is not for me.

Want a japanese isekai lvl of dense protagonist, with little personality beyond want to upgrade his territory with phone lvl gameplay that deus exmachina his way to difficult situations and is obessed by many powerful, heroines that all devolve into idiots and catfighting each time they glance at him?

Then this novel is for you.

Obs: And no, the fact they blame the skill for the lack of emotion or personality on the MC dont excuse it.

2) good points:

The idea of mixing game elements of gacha and the idea that 10 year passed since he left is interesting, as well the differenve how his player action translated in the "gacha world".

The fact the heroines had grow into their own powers and how they dealt with his suddenly absence was another point of intrigue. Specially making you wonder why they want to mend their relationship.

Lastly the ability to help raise a hero and that help raise theie relationship had potential.

3) the bad parts

A) MC without personality- as mention before, MC has no personality, in fact feel he still playing a game with how one dimensional he feel.

- later the reveal about the side effect of his skill, just soured the situation. Specially when have been done better in serie such as Overlord, the MC is little more than a NPC. Worse yet oblivious that sound like a parody of the dense MC trope than something would write.

- worse yet, because the game mechanics he never feel very competent or only interested in his ambition. His schemes are fruit of points that are explained after the fact and so feel contrived even if pull the "it worked like that when I played 10 year ago" card.

B) Idiot ball of the heroines: all of them could be put in yandere in how mad they are for the MC and beside their incredible power and inexplicable loyal followers, only trait is being crazy for the MC make them act foolish and enter in inanes looney tunes lvl of catfights that grate one nerves. They also dub as the MC deus exmachina in their spare time as their actions alwaya help the MC direct or indirectly.

C) underwhelming game-lit mechanic - as all phone games that need hours to complete any building, in special gacha, is very underwhelming and the implementation in the story is to wave away any concern how he is able to improve things. And translation the game mechanics are almost 1:1 with the game, woth just enough space for the MC to easily take advantage of some elements.

D) boring plot - the MC does have some ideas to exploit the game system, but they are always incredible effective and with alot of downtime between so we have weeks of months time skip of the MC putting that 1 exploit to work and wait to make it enough money for the next upgrade.

The heroines outside plot is more interesting but because is marked with they going back to idiot ball each time when they visit the MC is tiring. And for gacha heroines are show to be OP so is mostly about them want to do something they think will give favor to the MC and accidently destroy other plot.

Worse yet, all theses plots are also boring and are almost always about evil nobles or demons that meet their ends under the overwhelming force of the heroines or the latest asspull of the MC.

E) deus exmachima - the story is divided between the generic kingdom building the MC is doing, with what the heroines are doing outside his territory. Inside the territory the MC always have 1 easy solution that wasnt really explaines before, to whatever problem come his way and if isnt enough the heroines will accidently help solve or improve the problem that he have no way of dealing with. So there is no tension and kind contrived.
