Chapter 152 - Situation of the Card Game Industry
Chinese card games are a unique concept, and are completely different from card games like Hearthstone or Magic: The Gathering
Games like Soul Hunters and Onmyoji may seem to have different combat systems and cards, but their core are similar.
The so-called Chinese card games are represented by I Am MT. They stimulate the players through combat, obtaining and training cards. The ways they materialise themselves are also constantly changing.
From I Am MT’s cards battling to Soul Hunters’s 2D character models combat, to Onmyoji’s full 3D turned based. The combat may seem different but are similar at heart, all of them are known as Chinese card games.
Chen Mo decided to read the reviews of the popular card games before deciding on which game to make next.

“I heard there’s a new card game being released with a anime IP, anyone wanna play?”
“Nah I’m good. There are so many similar games, aren’t you tired of this format?”
Onmyoji didn’t have that problem as the artwork, music, story, and characters were all the best of the best in the mobile game industry, no games should be able to threaten it two years after its release.
As for Fate/Grand Order, Chen Mo couldn’t recreate the entire Fates series as of yet, which was why he had to set it aside for now.
Chen Mo opened a new designer document and started working on the design concept for Onmyoji.
“You’ve copied off I Am MT for a whole year and helped me expand the playerbase for mobile card games. I’ll count that as even. But now, everyone will have to do their best,” said Chen Mo
