So You Guys Wrote "Very Easy," Huh!?

[Survey: Very Easy]

Ethan Vale sat in front of his computer, looking at the results of the game difficulty survey on the screen.

Every single response said the same thing: Very Easy.

He had transmigrated. The moment he arrived, he found himself sitting before a computer screen in a daze.

In his previous life, he had been a veteran game designer with a net worth of over a hundred million! He had been enjoying the waves and beautiful women out at sea when, on a stormy night, a massive wave capsized him and swallowed him beneath the endless surf.

It took him a full half hour to accept the fact that he had transmigrated.

After sorting through the original owner's memories, he realized that if Blue Star had been a world where the ninth art had exploded into prosperity, then this place was nothing more than a gaming wasteland!

None of the games from his previous life existed here!

He thought of Hollow Knight, Sekiro, Dark Souls, Dead Space...

The more he thought about them, the more uncontrollably his body trembled. Any one of them could easily crush the games here, all right?

Very Easy?

Ethan Vale looked at the survey feedback he had just collected.

So you guys wrote "Very Easy," huh!?

[Ding! Game Creation System activated: Our goal is Super Difficult!]

[Collect Super Difficult survey responses to enhance the host's game creation abilities!]

[Super Difficult responses obtained: 0/1000]

[Upgrade reward: Holographic Projection Technology]

Ethan Vale let out a heavy breath. As a transmigrator, he could still make it work even without a system.

But with a system, wouldn't he be able to flourish in this other world?

"Easy is fine. My games always get the same result anyway. I'm used to it."

"As long as we pass and graduate, isn't that enough?"

The person speaking beside him was Song Shan. Like the original owner, he was a student in the game design program.

Not long ago, their instructor had assigned them homework:

[Create and upload a game. Students will be graded based on download numbers and online user ratings.]

Sixty points meant victory; sixty-one was a waste.

Almost everyone had that mindset.

Passing was enough.

"Then I'll give them another one. Let's see who still dares to write 'Very Easy' this time!" Ethan Vale immediately opened the game development platform. In an instant, a game capable of shattering people's resolve appeared in his mind.

Getting over it

This game had driven countless players insane in his previous life and had even been dubbed the Roaring Simulator by players.

Without changing his expression, he reopened the game editor on his computer.

This world had an incredibly convenient game framework platform, offering countless free and paid game assets.

There were also simple physics engines, free music, basic game logic, and all sorts of other things.

The world had intended to vigorously promote game development, but no matter how much support it gave, the industry still could not get off the ground.

The entire skill tree had been invested into technology, leaving games severely neglected. Despite being given abundant resources, there was still nothing worth showing off.

"What are you planning to make this time?" Song Shan stood behind Ethan Vale.

"Something very easy." Ethan Vale rapidly dragged free assets around the editor. Soon, a pot, a bald man, and a hammer appeared on the screen.

The three simple sprites were pieced together, forming an extremely ridiculous image.

A naked little man sat in a pot with a hammer in his hand.

Even the motion of his swinging arm was somewhat stiff, making him look utterly comical.

"What kind of monster is this?" Song Shan asked suspiciously from behind him.

"This is the game's protagonist." Ethan Vale remained expressionless. For a period of time on Blue Star, this little man in a pot had been the source of pain for every game streamer.

The moment they heard his name or saw that hammer, their expressions would unconsciously begin to twist.

After finishing the character model, he began editing the map. The map of Getting over it looked crude, as though it had been stitched together from cheap textures, but every section had been meticulously designed.

Make a mistake anywhere on the map, and you would be sent straight back home.

In just one afternoon, he finished the game. Then he picked up a microphone and began recording the endless background narration.

One witty remark after another attacked the player's mentality from beginning to end.

Song Shan, who had been watching him make the game the entire time, stared at Ethan Vale like he was a monster once he understood what he was muttering.

That narration!

Was this guy really not afraid of getting beaten up?

He had completely given up, hadn't he?

"Ahem, it's finally done." Ethan Vale grabbed the cup of water beside him. The continuous voice recording had left his mouth dry and his throat parched.

He opened the Yogame platform and directly selected the upload client.

[So you guys said the games I made were very easy?]

When Ethan Vale added that promotional message along with the game, Song Shan's eyes widened beside him.

He felt that Ethan Vale had definitely snapped.

Everything he had done that afternoon was either asking to be beaten up or dancing right on the edge of it.

The character model lacked sincerity, the map was slapped together carelessly, the background narration was full of mockery, and now even the promotional message was packed with provocation!

"Done. Come on, I'm in a good mood today. I'll treat you to a meal at the cafeteria!" Ethan Vale threw an arm around Song Shan's shoulders.

Feeling his youthful body, he would be lying if he said he was not happy.

The moment he shut the dorm room door, he glanced at the computer on the desk, which had already been turned off.

From now on, I've arrived with a gaming empire!

It had to be said that Ethan Vale's promotional message worked wonders. The game had barely been released before it drew a great deal of attention.

With graduation season approaching, many game design students had been uploading their own games to the platform.

If they received good feedback, they might even get into a decent company during campus recruitment.

This time of year was also when streamers and online users looked for entertainment.

Animation and game design were jokingly called the two funniest majors by netizens.

The students' graduation projects were all kinds of bizarre.

People were more than happy to give those games the ratings they deserved.

Silver was a streamer on Shark Platform. As one of the biggest gaming streamers, he drew massive audiences every time he went live.

Recently, he had been especially fond of reviewing games designed by graduating students.

Those games were full of things to mock, and while they were hilarious, they also gave him great streaming material.

After every review, he would always kindly leave four words in the game's comment section.

[Very Easy]

While playing another game, he received a notification from his viewers that a game called Getting over it had gone live.

"I'll be damned, that game recommendation is obviously aimed at me!" Silver laughed and cursed when he saw it.

Who did not know that Silver liked writing "Very Easy" for people?

But this time, it really was not him.

The original owner might have known who Silver was, but he had not taken him to heart. Naturally, Ethan Vale had not bothered sorting through that part of his memories after transmigrating.

"Good lord, he actually has the nerve to price it at ten bucks? This character, this model! Even one dollar would be too much!" Silver curled his lip and held up a hand before him. "Brothers, we are absolutely fair and impartial."

"Watch me play it, then I'll give him a sharp review. Very—easy!"

Very, very egg-sy!
