Novel name: The founder of Gaming
Alternative title: God of Video Game/Grandfather of Video Game/Pioneer of Video Game
I'm going to start posting a new novel soon. The story is set in Japan during the late 1980-1990s?, and the protagonist is fully Japanese.
I think you'll enjoy this one, maybe even more than Godlike Developer.
Summary: In this world, movies and TV shows dominate the entertainment industry, while video games are either incredibly niche or practically nonexistent. Technology is always about 10 years ahead of our real world, but it's grounded, there's no apocalypse, VR pods, or other over-the-top sci-fi nonsense. Every game is played on handhelds, home consoles, or PCs.
The protagonist founded everything by single-handedly creating the modern gaming industry. He develops the first handheld console, the first home console, and brings legendary franchises such as Mario, Final Fantasy, and Grand Theft Auto (eventually reaching GTA V) into existence. Along the way, he pushes console technology forward (like xbox, playstation, handheld console like nintendo), There's a lot more to the story, but I don't want to spoil everything.
Yo7 also don't have to worry about face-slapping m or the story glazing China (Won't happen with me as the helm of this novel)
One more thing: the original novel is not a harem. The MC only marries one girl. Personally, I think that's a bit of a missed opportunity, so if you guys want, I can adapt it into a harem with a maximum of 3–4 girls. He'll still marry the main heroine, while the other 2–3 will remain his mistresses.
I'll put up a poll later and let you guys decide.

To give you an idea of how the setting works: 2015 (Novel World) = 2025 (Real World):
Advanced generative AI, AI coding assistants, and other modern technologies already exist.
