[No CP + everyone’s favorite + goofy at first, then dark and twisted + walking the edge + men and women alike]

Content warnings: infidelity, drama queens, dark and twisted themes, an imperfect protagonist, mild horror, and not a traditional dating sim.

If these aren’t your thing, please read at your own discretion.

Qin Sheng was accidentally hit on the head by a flowerpot thrown from a great height. The world took notice of her, and she became a tester at the dating-game development division of a cosmic corporation.

Her job was to play an NPC in dating games, discreetly find bugs in the game, and report players’ grievances.

To earn the achievement of ten thousand points, become a senior employee, and gain her freedom so she could wake up in the real world, Qin Sheng used her sharp eye to nitpick one impeccably crafted immersive dating-game world after another.

“This still needs some tweaking.”

[What needs tweaking?]

“The looks of the romanceable NPCs.”

“Take the one from earlier. If you knew it was human, you’d know it was human. Otherwise, you’d think it was some kind of bizarre creature.”

“That one, that one needs tweaking.”

[Tester QS333, please elaborate.]

“This NPC is way too unattainable. At this rate, the NPCs will just end up dating each other.”

[That’s because the players aren’t good enough.]

“This NPC is really popular.”

“The player is always right. Get it?”

[…Got it.]

“Look, I’m just saying.”

[Tester, please continue.]

“Is this plot seriously feeding us shit?”
