When a Dating Sim Player Has a Character Affection Collecting Fetish

[BG romance, shipping or self-inserting with the protagonist as the focus + players from the Fourth Calamity + lots of gloomy, male-centered characterization] Quick content warnings (more at the beginning of the main text, don’t miss them!): A crossover, but only with sports anime. Mainly volleyball, with Blue Lock, The Prince of Tennis, Kuroko’s Basketball, and Free! I don’t mind shipping or self-inserting, just don’t take it too far or start fights over it. We read novels to have fun, after all. . One day, Yuzuki Sawako got a strange dating sim. She left it alone for a while, then eventually opened it. She had no idea what she was in for. The game had a huge cast of high-quality romanceable NPCs, and every route had a great story! She was hooked for a long time. During that period, she won the hearts of who knows how many romanceable NPCs. Quite an achievement. One day, for reasons in real life, she closed the game and never opened it again. Gradually, she let those memories fade. Until one day, the NPCs from the game appeared in real life, turning Yuzuki Sawako’s life upside down... . The first time I saw her... it’s hard to describe how it felt. All I know is that the first thing I felt was the heat of my emotions changing, hot enough to melt my brain. Then I found myself already drawn close to her, heart and soul. A lot of men asked themselves at that moment: Was this love at first sight? It took only a few seconds for them to settle on the answer: It had to be!!! But one question continued to haunt them. Did she love them? Even after the barrier of the screen was shattered, that question never received a definite answer.
