I remember the MC transmigrate to a wuxia video game, and he is able to change properties of the status, like his name font color change to purple (which is a higher ranking npc) and pretend to be an important character. He can also give out NPC quest etc... When the players enter, he aslo disguises himself as a beginner NPC that distributes skill, while bringing up his own 'game protagonist' reputation as strong etc. Basically trying to scam the players into thinking he is the MC of the game when he is not. He is also very very handsome, so when his face was revealed to the player the game forum was on fire or something. His image is that he is the 'main character' of the game, and that he is mysterious and strong. First few arc is networking with future real main character. Then the game went live, and he pretend to be the game's protagonist and issue quests to the players About the game world, there is not just one main character, there is multiple and throughout their 'main quest' it happens all at the same time. Also if I am not wrong, whatever the players do it will be permanent. For example, if the players burn and entire forest, the forest will remain burnt/not resetted. But this part is a bit blurry, so might be wrong. Other things I remember: -there is a beta test before all players descend. That was when his face exploded all over the volume cuz he is very handsome -he picks out players that he thinks is influential and makes them his first few disciples, in order to kind of lure other players to join his sect or something
This sounds like a good one! I remember a similar one where the guy-turned-NPC basically assigned escort quests to get to secret areas (so he could get the secret items). Players were so desperate to 'build rep' with him for new hunting grounds he was able to cheat them out of a lot of loot.
It's not that one. The one I am looking for is set in a wuxia/cultivation game Do you know the title of that novel? Sounds fun
this really sounds like The Legendary Mechanic, but TLM is not wuxia, it’s interstellar welp this looks interesting so Imma camp hehe pls tag me when you find the title
I It's definitely not that. I've read TLM before. I'm at my wit's end. I already scrolled through endless the chinese isekai in NU to no avail TT_TT The closest similar story is "Stay low profile, sect leader!", but it's not the novel I am looking for
