A modern gamer-guy gets transported to a cultivation world and gets a "system" (common helper trope in many Chinese stories). Instead of helping him as a level cheat, he gets the power to open an internet cafe. The more players he gets, the more games and computers he can have in his shop.
The twist is, playing the games helps the warriors and cultivators improve their skills and they can learn some of the skills and abilities in the game.
It is a novel idea and it was really fun at first. Unfortunately, a *massive* cast plus some rather repetitive ideas bogged it down and I gave up reading about a third of the way through. It is a light and relatively easy read, but there is a distinctive lack of any real stakes in the tale.
Good for a fluff read.

I liked it. It's an ode to gaming and internet cafes and cup noodles and xianxia, all mixed together in a very weird experience. Nothing to remember, nothing deep, but entertaining nonetheless for the few hours I spent in this world.

Sometimes it feels too dragged out, however overall it's funny and a good read.

This is the only excessively repetitive Chinese novel I’ve finished. A major reason I may have enjoyed this is because I wasn’t familiar with the majority of the source material used. There is a ton of rehashing popular gaming/tv story plots.
BTICS is not at all what I expected. I wouldn’t call this good, but it is surprisingly fun and entertaining. Although the story didn’t go anywhere too interesting, and the protagonist was often not a great character, I’d recommend reading at least some of this. The only major issues I had with this was keeping track of all the characters and the infrequent need to skim. The quality of this varies, but it stays consistent good overall.
Pro tip: Download an ePub of this to search the names of all the characters you forgot.

Lots of fun, with plenty of Easter eggs for gamers.

Started out super fun then it got repetitive and boring, but I did enjoy the beginning a lot.
