Ye Feng transmigrated into a parallel world where there were few games and obtained the game production system. As long as the players gave a "super difficult" rating, he could improve his game production ability, However, seeing the "very easy" comments on the game forum, Ye Feng was shocked, and he descended to the alternate world with the ninth art. "Getting Over It With Bennett Ford", "Undead Cells", "Bleedborne", "Sekiro"... A series of games was born. He would like to see who dared to say that these games were very simple! Admit it, rookies. It's all because you suck！ However, players whose confidence was shattered by these games still firmly moved the cursor to that option! "Very easy!"

Meet Orihara Satoru, a 33 y.o. Game Designer who was about to confess his feelings to an overly cute co-worker. Yes, he ‘was’, because his life unexpectedly came to an end. He woke up in a new world. In the world, where 99.9% of the population are reincarnated people like he is, and technology co-exists with magic. In the world, where every few days Beasts are summoned by a Wave to bring chaos and disaster. "How will I fare in a world, where everyone is an Isekai protagonist? Also, my build is a random mess and why am I a girl now? Oh, well. Creative Thinking is Everything I Have." Who might enjoy this story: - readers who love references to popculture/games/anime (also after the first chapter they are not that abundant) - fans of an isekai/transported to another world genre - those who dislike OP protagonists and prefer MC to grow stronger bit by bit and rely heavily on his friends. - people who enjoy black-and-white-and-grey stories, where life is not always bad, but not always good, too. Warning: you may find a bit of profanity and nudity (or minor depiction of sex-related content) here. Also, a lot of anime/game/popculture references. I'm trying to make this story a little more adult and mature than usually advised in this genre. A bit more of 'reality' and details, usually omitted.

Suddenly transported to a world where the gender ratio is heavily skewed, an ordinary high school boy is granted special privileges—including admission to the country’s most prestigious academy. Everything should be easy now... right?

Crab OG author : 喝一杯红酒 OG title : 游戏制作：从治愈玩家开始 Chen Xu travelled to a parallel world and was surprised to find that many classic and excellent games from his previous life were missing. I had a plan, but why did I get an 'emotion collection system', and the emotions such as happiness, sadness, excitement, fear, anger and other emotions provided by players who have played the games I made can make me stronger? But why is it so much easier to get anger than happiness? Looking at his score, Chen Xu expressed his confusion. As a result, Chen Xu's career as a game designer gradually took a turn for the worse. In Undertale, countless players pounded the table and screamed: I was cheated by this game! In Outlast, countless players screamed, my cabinet moved and I stopped playing.

Facing the reporter's question, Chen Xu smiled slightly: This isn’t criticism, this is encouragement from players around the world to me, this is love! Thank you all, I will keep up the good work!

Seven years ago, Valen Linus became the youngest Alpha in Linus Pack's history by killing his father. Feared by many, he’s seen as one of the most ruthless and calculative leaders in Wolfen society. Many see him as power-hungry, but Valen’s only concern is protecting his family, strengthening his pack, and solving a 2-year-old mystery that could ruin everything he’s built. He has a lot on his plate, and the last thing he needs is an unwanted mate, but fate seems to have other plans. *** “If I get in that bed, Zira, it won’t be to comfort you,” Valen warned gruffly. I was sure he meant it as a warning, but he couldn’t be more mistaken. My eyes lingered on the lines of ink swirling across his chest before returning my eyes to his dark, silver gaze. “I don’t need you to comfort me.” No. Tonight I needed something different altogether.
