Synopsis

Due to his failure to buy a gaming helmet needed to play virtual reality games, the malovent-looking Li Huailin steels his heart and DIYs a homemade gaming pod to play the new online game, Heart of Glory.

To his surprise, he ends up creating a bug with his in-game character.

Others kill monsters for experience, but he gets negative experience from killing monsters.

Others earn money and gain experience from completing missions, but he gets experience and money deducted from completing missions.

As he begins believing that there's no point playing this game again, he dies—only to have a windfall of experience. He comes to a realization…

He will not die if he doesn't court death!

To level up, Li Huailin begins a life of desperately courting death!

I'm caught up with the Translations. I am sure I'm not the only one who waited years for this Novel to translate. I was very confused at first and thought it had similarities until I realize it was actually "All Things Wrong." I thought this would be a crafting novel. I won't speak out of bias since I still don't know whether this novel is good or not but from what I can see everything is well written so far. Mysterious plot, hilarious cast of characters, and loving this MC. I'm still uncertain what the Author trying to do but I hope there's Romance with 'Misty Rain' as you can see potential development. At first, she was cold but slowly warming up to MC.[img=coins] I also hope the Author utilizes his characters well. That's a big flaw in VR Chinese novels. They start off good but then become something stupid later. (Take it from experience)[img=exp] [It's funny just two days ago before this came out, I found this novel in my history which made me feel a bit regret. But now it suddenly came back on this website. I can't help but think of it as fate lol]

tbh it is kinda boring. maybe if you havent read many mmorpg novels you might find it good, but it is same old cliches with slight twist. all buffs turn into debuffs and all debuffs turn into buffs. poison gives health, restoration takes it. comedy is meh and it just turns into another unbalanced mmorpg protagonist with possible harem. i would rate it half a star better than average mmorpg novel on this site.

Idk about others but I found this novel hilarious. It's similar to another vrmmorpg novel with a white hair protagonist which I don't remember the name of but better. Feel free to disagree to me

This was already translated before on a different website. Don't remember which but was a somewhat decent story with some cliches here and there.

This book is quite unique and interesting. Here, the MC basically is a BUGed character and the way his bug works is something fresh and quite funny to read. If you are still hesitating whether to read this or not, trust me you'll have fun. It is one of the better picks in this week's trial read. Totally worthy of getting selected.

Somewhat humorous, a little bit cliche, and sometimes a bit forced. It’s not too bad of a read, so I guess you can give it a try. This is as of chapter 30.

Its slapstick comedy and it's not bad, but I can only take so much literal face slapping. Our MC builds his own virtual device and logs on to skynet. And as a result things are reversed for him.

Hi, This is Tynan, I am an editor from another platform that focuses on adventurous Genre Fictions. After reading your “Retrograde Gaming”, I decided to contact you and if possible, to extend you an invitation on distributing your works. However, there are so little I can talk about it here. If you were interested, please contact me via geekyteddyyo@gmail.com, then I should take opportunity to discuss it with you in detail. It was a great pleasure to meet your story. Sincerely Tynan
