I Maxed Out Her Affection, Then Broke Up With Her. Now My Virtual Girlfriend Is at My Door With an Axe

(A veteran author trying a new genre. If it isn't new, you can hit me. If it isn't good, you can hit me too.)

(City life + romance + laid-back daily life)

“Only three things can save your sleep: alcohol, soft music, and a lover who will never leave you.”

After a devastating breakup, Li Jiyuan became hopelessly addicted to a virtual girlfriend app.

Believing that a game isn't worth playing unless you finish it, Li Jiyuan maxed out her affection and wrote, “Maybe we'll meet again. Until next time. Live well,” in his completion message.

Just as he thought he could finally get on with his life, a knife was pressed against his neck.

A silver-haired woman from another world said coldly, “Explain what ‘Maybe we'll meet again. Until next time. Live well’ means.”

Li Jiyuan's entire worldview collapsed.

As more and more character cards unlocked in the game app, including “the devilish underground queen” and “the goddess about to be offered on an altar,” a brand-new world appeared before Li Jiyuan.

What Li Jiyuan found even harder to understand was...

“Why are they calling me Master?”

“Is this not a dating app, but a training simulator?”

“Why do they all want to kill me?”

Over-the-top, chuunibyou-style blurb:

Many years later.

As countless treasure hunters from other worlds came to see this place as a land of riches,

smirking as they robbed, killed, and set fires in the streets at night,

Li Jiyuan stood atop a neon tower, the howling wind making his coat flap.

He looked toward the camera and smiled:

“Would you like to hear the story of a heartbroken boy saving the world?”
