Almighty Video Game Designer was picked up by someone on a blog site (unlicensed), and they translated another 20 chapters past ch60.
It’s been out of trial read for a few weeks already so it’s likely they just wanted to capitalize on someone’s illegal translation.
Star rating is not an important factor regarding books to be chosen, especially given the fact that reviews can be deleted and are often times posted for the sake of exp.
Reviews are not indicative of a novel’s performance, at least not on this site. Example: “A Bite of Hogwarts” is by no means a bad novel in and of itself, but reviews for it were bombed because 1) it was posted under male lead with a female lead and 2) it is an unlicensed Harry Potter fan fiction.
Novels are picked up and pass trial read based off of how much money can be made by hiring translators and editors to translate content from the source. If there is not sufficient interest, Webnovel will rotate out trial read novels and not bother continuing translation.
There has also been a recent wave of novels dropped by translator on this site due to lack of popularity, mentioned on another thread.
“The Legendary Mechanic”
“I am a Legendary BOSS”
I recommend “It’s not easy to be a man after traveling to the future”.
There are teases to potential romance but considering how the MC has had practically zero romantic interaction with another character after 1200 chapters I think this can safely be classified as minimal romance.
