Chapter 1Chapter 0: Please Call Me a Videogame Designer

Translated by Coldtaco

Edited by Aelryinth

As a videogame designer, Chen Mo thought that his life was already perfect.

All the games that Chen Mo had designed went into video game history.

"Journey" had received seven awards at the Global Game Developers Conference, including Best Visuals, Best Design, Best Sound Effects, and Most Innovative Game of the Year.

League of Legends was now seven years old and still held the throne of PC gaming. The League of Legends World Championship finals continued to break viewership numbers.

The Last of Us, Uncharted, and GTA5 were popular all around the world, selling tens of millions of copies, breaking many records in the process.

Outlast, Tales Of Glory, and Thriller Paradise had revolutionized the VR gaming industry. Many video game designers considered them classics as they studied them repeatedly .

Even mobile games, such as Honor of Kings and Onmyoji, were always at the top of mobile games ranking, barely threatened by their competitors.

Don't even get him started on the money tabletop games made in just two months. That was really easy money.

And then there's also RapeL... Nevermind, that genre hadn't really been explored.

If Chen Mo had any regrets, it was probably the fact that he still hadn't fixed his habit of daydreaming while on overtime.

That's right, all of the above were just Chen Mo's daydreams. He was actually the main producer in a mobile games company from China. It was inevitable that he would start daydreaming after two months of gruesome overtime.

Just like other video game producers, Chen Mo entered the industry filled with hopes and dreams. However, after a few years of overtime, the dreams he once had were drowned out by harsh reality.

However, Chen Mo still liked calling himself a video game designer despite being a video game producer. That might be all that remained of his hopes and dreams.

Chem Mo looked at the table next to him, which still had a cup of noodles from yesterday on it. It belonged to a software developer with messy hair and massive eye bags.

Can't help it, the software developer had stayed back longer than Chen Mo did.

Perhaps software developers were aliens. Chen Mo felt like the extra five minutes of overtime might kill him, but the software developers seemed to be able to maintain this zombie-like condition for months. Even when more bugs appear after they say 'it'll be online after this bug's fixed', they still have enough energy to fly to the moon.

Alas, that is the life of hard workers.

"This is so boring! I can't take this anymore, I'm gonna take a nap."

Not knowing if he was laying down or had passed out, he felt his vision going black. It didn't matter as long as he was unconscious.

Perhaps it's just a part of his imagination, but Chen Bo heard a sound in his dream.

Card Apprentice Daily Log

Dalton Wyatt, a world-renowned scientist and inventor, is transmigrated into the body of a high school student, also named Dalton Wyatt, who had tragically committed suicide due to unfortunate circumstances and a complicated life. The enchanting world of cards he finds himself in is vastly different from Earth, yet eerily similar in certain aspects. Unlike the peaceful Earth, where humans fought only amongst themselves, this new world is plagued by dungeons and monsters. Here, humanity's survival hinges on battling these mythical and legendary creatures. Ordinary mortals lack the strength to stand against such formidable foes. Thankfully, a select few are blessed with the ability to harness their souls, manifest soul power, and become card apprentices—humanity’s last hope against extinction. Card apprentices are individuals who form contracts with grimoires, mystical artifacts that allow them to wield powerful and versatile cards to fend off monsters and conquer dungeons. A grimoire provides card apprentices with abilities such as card creation and card fusion. Most importantly, it enables them to unlock their full potential in card battles. While this world shares the concept of science with Earth, its focus is not on electronics or industrialization. Instead, cards replace the need for most technologies, fulfilling even the smallest of daily necessities. This world revolves entirely around the grimoire’s abilities, particularly card creation and card fusion. Transmigrated to a place where strength can be bought with money, Dr. Wyatt is forced to earn a living to ensure his survival. Fortunately, with his otherworldly knowledge and expertise, card creation comes naturally to him, setting him apart from other card apprentices. Dr. Wyatt crafts and sells perfect, powerful, and resourceful cards, steadily growing stronger in this monster-ridden world. --- "What did you say? Making good cards is hard? Bah! Card creation is a breeze." "My friend, let me enlighten you—there are no 'trash card ingredients,' only incompetent card creationists." [Commencing card creation using ingredients, i)Bloody Veins - G Rank, Mortal Grade ii)Nyon Rope - G Rank, Mortal Grade iii)Common Core - G Rank, Mortal Grade Card creation… complete! Card Name: Bloody Rope Card Type: Item Card Card Rank: E Rank, Common Grade Card Rating: 3 Stars Card Durability: 100/100 Card Effect: The Bloody Rope can bind and incapacitate its target. When in contact with a target’s wound, it triggers paralysis and blood drain effects. Additional Effect: Paralysis, Blood Drain] "This can’t be real! You used G-rank mortal-grade ingredients and yet crafted an E-rank common-grade card with full durability and a three-star rating? This isn’t real—I must still be dreaming! I couldn’t possibly have woken up today—this has to be a dream!"

Hello! My name is Tofu and I'm responsible for this novel. Let me explain a little bit how novel selection works at Webnovel; Webnovel will essentially pay translators to continue novels that are more popular, such as those that were selected during Trial Reading. However, novels that was not selected during Trial Reading will therefore not get paid for. Therefore, whenever you see novels being put on Voting Pool, it means WEBNOVEL is not paying for it. This is PURELY because the Translator wants to continue the book out of their own interest. Please don't give the book bad reviews just because translators for other dropped books are not willing to continue their books.

I dint know this was getting a tl lol. I read this one before and the mtl too. The story is pretty good, especially if you enjoy gaming. And to the people saying it like IRAS, yes and you know why, cuz there is some large face slapping about to happen. They’re gonna doubt his games and he’s gonna deliver on quality. Now if you don’t like that then you probably shouldn’t read this. From what I’ve seen there’s no harem, but I haven’t read that far to conclude conclusively about romance. Because he hasn’t competed much in the foreign industry (as far is I have read) I don’t know about if there will be racism. But if you like video games you will probably like this. And also if you liked IRAS. I like it personally, but I understand why people might not like it. So cool I guess.

Ive read up to chapter 64.. and I've found that this book had good translations and story.. If you count out all the in-plot copying.. After aroud chapter 45.. aka the pay to unlock chapters.. The book starts to go down hill in terms of quality.. Whether its the translators fault or the authors IDK.. But the book just starts to skim through descriptions and just Info-dump every and any kind of information about card games, W.O.W and Animes.. When we get to around chapter 60.. Its so bad its like Im reading MLT books.. Also this book has been released up to chapter 58 since November 2nd (Free of Charge, now on 64) but has been repacked through trail reads?? Im afraid that if I rate this book too badly they will take my post down like in other unworthy books that have already passed vote selection (Bots for votes and Bots for 5-Star reviews)

They’re deleting every review to fluff the numbers. The real rating of this novel is 2.2. Don’t look at any of the higher reviews. This novel was dropped and replaced other options all out of the greed of webnovel and Tofu. This novel is trash and racist. Don’t read it at all.

Though I am not a fan of such novel, This was a good read. I am especially proud of this translator who took up this novel without the extra pay and delivered this to us just because he likes it, And I am sure this novel will not be dropped like the tens of other, Whose petty translators start dropping them just because they weren’t making them enough money. This is a passion project, Neither the trial novel slot nor the voting pool slot was taken. Please check it before going hysterical. Again Great respect for the translator, I wish he would have been the one to translate some of my fav novels like World of Deities or Lord of oasis etc. Now Regarding the novel, I disliked it at first because of knowing how all of the games will be copied, But the good thing about this one is, Later he also start developing his own games and also add extras to the copied ones. It’s a leisure face slapping novel. 5 star just because of the great Translator. You have my utmost respect.

They are deleting every 1 star review cuz "they all are trolls and aren't really doing reviews" but don't do anything to the hundreds of 5star reviews that don't say why they put max stars. Because of the unfairness of this website now only the high rated reviews are there, this novel had a score of 2.8 stars and overnight it became 4.4..

Hell yeahhhhh. I'm soo excited that this is getting picked. I've been waiting for months now. Also for those who are complaining, when trial read was introduced webnovel said that it might bring back the novels that didn't get picked before. So please stop rating it low just because this was picked. Cuz there are many including me who are waiting with hope that trial novels which didn't get picked before get picked. Also above thing isn't the reason I rated this 5. It's because I freaking love this novel. Do give this novel a try if you like iras kinda troupe with no racism bs but with video games. I'm really sorry for my grammar guys. I'm pretty sure I fked it up badly.

Slap to the crybabies 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻 Rating a novel low stars because of other novels is kinda pathetic. If you want dropped novels to be revived find a damn translator that’s willing to translate. Just like this one. Also read your notifications so you wouldn’t be as clueless as you did. In the future there will be revived novels because translator like to translate them, hope you guys won’t cry as you did here✌🏻
