Why the bug I wrote became a core gameplay mechanic?!

This book is also known as: "How Programmers Turn a Crappy Game into a Timeless Classic with a Single BUG" Recently, the president of Nitiandang, Gu Fan, once again fell from grace due to a minor bug in his new game. As a top-notch designer in the industry, all of the games designed by Gu Fan have very distinct characteristics: At first, players felt that these games were monotonous, dull, and purely revolting garbage. However, once players discovered a major bug, the gameplay underwent a drastic transformation, rendering them sleep-deprived and unable to quit! So, players once again launched a major debate over "whether this is actually a bug or a game mechanic." In response to this, Gu Fan clarified in an interview with all seriousness: "Hello everyone, I'm the game designer Gu Fan, but you can also call me by my English name: fan·gu (means rebel). "I want to reiterate firmly that these so-called 'core gameplays' were not part of our company's original design—they are bugs! It's just that we didn't fix them because the players liked them!"

Soulrift: The Unbound

When a rift tears open in the sky above the Forbidden Forest, an ancient force slips into the world—one that predates magic itself. Vesperian is born from this force—emotionless, flawless, and incomplete. Forged from pure energy and cast into a body not fully human, he carries within him fragments of every race and every discipline: magic, martial arts, elemental breathing styles, and something older still—something forgotten. But Vesperian is only half of what he was meant to be. His secret brother, the other half of his being, was scattered across dimensions the moment they were forged. While Vesperian grows stronger with every step he takes, the silent pull toward his missing other half intensifies, drawing him toward a destiny neither of them fully understands. Vesperian's journey leads him to Astralis Arcanum, the legendary academy of mystic arts, where rivalries simmer, alliances shift, and the truths of an ancient kingdom lie hidden beneath layers of deception. Here, the strong feign weakness, long-forgotten races walk among humans, and the very fabric of reality trembles, holding power that could shatter the world itself. As forbidden magic stirs and the rift between realms weakens, Vesperian must navigate a kingdom on the brink of chaos, rediscover what it means to feel, and decide whether to seek his other half—or transcend his fate entirely. A tale of broken souls, transcendent power, and the dark secrets that lie beyond the rift.
