说好做免费游戏，怎么氪成首富了
 (Suppose to Make free games, How did you became the richest man through microtransactions )
 (Modern, Video Games, system, no harem)
The protagonist of this web novel is equipped with a unique system that rewards him with points whenever players spend money on micro transactions within his games. These points can then be used to purchase and replicate popular games from Earth. Leveraging this system, the main character creates free-to-play games but monetizes them through pay-to-win mechanics, a strategy that proves highly lucrative. The world he inhabits is one where gaming is dominated by either one-time purchase models or monthly subscription fees, leaving players entirely unfamiliar with the concept of free-to-play games. This creates a perfect environment for the protagonist—a former professional game designer from Earth—to innovate and capitalize on this untapped market. The story falls into the popular sub-genre of 'creating video games in another world,' a theme I find particularly engaging. Not only does it introduce me to new and intriguing games, but also evokes a sense of nostalgia when it references classic games I’ve enjoyed in the past.

美剧世界：从洛城巡警开始 (World of American TV: Starting from the Rookie)
 (urban, American TV, police, harem, system)
 
The protagonist begins his journey as a rookie officer in the American TV series The Rookie, taking on the role previously held by the character West. Equipped with a 'Detective Development System,' he earns points by performing police duties, which he can then use to enhance various skills, such as marksmanship or physical strength, among other abilities. The novel closely follows the events of the show’s first season, but with notable deviations, as the main character’s knowledge of the original plot drives him to alter certain outcomes—particularly in his efforts to save Zoe. Intriguingly, this story inspired me to start watching The Rookie, and I must say, it’s an excellent show that lives up to its reputation.

I have so much backlog of novels to keep up (as one can see from my weekly post) so I won't be adding too many new books.

Cultivate the Dao of MTL to see novels that hasn't been translated on novelupdate.
