Synopsis

To achieve a reality of being able to convert between game currency and fiat currency, a powerful and robust economic institution is required to guarantee the conversion rate. And such an entity can only be the government of a nation. But why would a government be willing to act as a guarantor of such a currency exchange?

A war can be fought in such a way. One need not win a war through bloodshed. "Zero", a game that allows the exchange of game currency and fiat currency, is the ultimate money making machine, and yet, a financial bomb waiting to explode.

Hello, Wolfy here. Most of the reviews are mostly true. About the start of the stroy anyway. The novel is HUGE, what I've done is just a glimpse of an iceberg. Kindly jump to the back a bit, you may find something that is "not so boring". The author didn't write a novel with 20+ million word count while boasting about the MC from start to end. Annnd sorry for the slow speed. As said, I'm not a contracted translator! The spare time I can spend on this voluntary work is really limited. Regards.

Just your classic CN gamer story, without reincarnation anyways. A good amount of Japan hate, MC is rich not poor, also so far it does not seem to be a harem. MC has mostly really good luck but weird stuff does happen. Overall nice to read a CN story where the MC is not out for revenge because his father was killed, mom committed suicide, sister kidnapped, and his dog raped.

3k+ chapters and an unstable 3 chapters a week? No thank you. I thought QI had a stable 5 chapters week requirement. There is no point reading it like this, since it'll never get finished.

If you like a bland MC, OP items and skills Per chapter this is the novel for you ! Idk why people put 3 stars on this boring novel.

The translation quality is fine and even if it wasn't, I can't expect the translator to make a diamond from ****. Now the novel itself? Complete and utter tripe. Would not recommend. Would never recommend. Don't give me **** that it'll be better later. It's the beginning that lays the groundwork for the future and if the beginning of this novel this ****, then I don't foresee the myself liking what comes next.

MC is f$$k too OP He levels up like 30 times a day while other players in the game level up like 5 - 10 times per day. MC luck is crazy beyond belief There's literally no point in reading this novel since there's barely any challenge or obstacle for the character it basically reading his life story (Which is boring as f#k) The game this novel is about is made by his mom's company and sponsored by his dad's company -_-

Hehehehe, this is the novel I am currently translating, and here are some thoughts as to what this novel is about, as to where I have currently translated until, Book 5. The Author, Thunderstorm, I believed, wrote this story with the intention of having an extremely OP and lucky MC, with readers to enjoy the world of Zero and how the MC actually forges relationships with other Players. It isn't that the MC is truly OP, but the amount of Support he actually receives is out of the world. Although this is a game novel, I would have to say that it focuses on a different aspect of the genre, I personally enjoy Rebirth of the Thief, Night Ranger, Overgeared, etc, and this story actually deviates from these mainstream novels. Read this novel with a pinch of salt, I know after reading a few chapters, one might think that the MC is simply too lucky, but I believe that is the point Thunderstorm was trying to make. :) Enjoy!

Honestly, i thought the plot armor was not that big of a deal. I was wrong, terribly and extremely wrong. This is a force field of plot armor, it spread everywhere and affect everything. But if you can deal with it it become a funny story

This is likely the lowest score I've ever given a novel. The translation quality is fine, no issues there. The update schedule is, however shocking for a 3k+ total chapter count. At this point in time the chapters are coming out 1/week which is nearly useless. The story follows a 'This happened so I did this' type writing style. To take an example the MC finds a chain so he grabs it and runs. He finds out the chain is firmly secured to SOMETHING (doesn't check what) so he summons his dragon to pull it. That doesn't work so he does this. Then that happens and he does this. An extraordinarily boring thing to read, at least in my opinion. The character relies on bull**** luck to accomplish everything. His family is rich and his Mom owns the game. Basically this character has the thickest plot armour I've ever seen.

Im not sure what to say about this novel honestly, i feel this poor translaters talent is wasted on this novel honestly i quite liked the first 50ish chapters where it was more of a slap stick comedy with a retardedly op mc, with plot armor so thicc that he could honestly survive a direct nuclear blast However, after reading a bit further, that is really not the case, the mc feels so incredibly weak, levels, stats and gear have no meaning this chapter i dropped it, he has a pet with a base 750 ms, which is so fast that the pet can catch arrows mid air. this stupid mother****er gets some **** stolen from him (game mechanics lol) and he doesnt use the fastest boi alive, excuse me what the **** it was an alright time sink comedy, but jesus christ he ruined that too
