I Just Want Players to Save Money, They Insist on Giving Me! Novel

Ke Jin finds himself transported to a world where gaming is plagued by predatory monetization practices, with companies constantly scheming to extract money from players. Armed with the Free Game Production System, he is determined to create games that allow players to earn rewards—specifically the "Complete Collection of All Game Design Schemes"—without spending any money. Ke Jin implements an aggressive free-to-play strategy, offering endless benefits: fifty consecutive draws during summer, one hundred draws after launch, exclusive skins for reaching fifty daily active users, and fifty thousand crystals as a bizarre celebration gift. His sincerity seems unbeatable. Yet reality defies his expectations. Despite his efforts, players interpret his generosity as a sign of financial desperation and spend enormous sums to support the company. A game launched with near-total discounts becomes a global bestseller, generating billions in revenue. Frustrated and sleepless, Ke Jin desperately pleads on social media for players to stop spending. His plea backfires spectacularly—players assume he is hinting at hardship and spend even more, convinced that supporting him is their duty.
