Genshin Impact: The Research Institute's Slice Records Handbook

The heroine’s traits: “devoted Dottore fanatic” + “rational lunatic” + “academic-level scoundrel” + “seasoned carnivore.” In short, she’s delightfully unhinged and deeply in love.

The male lead is a segment of Dottore, specifically the one from the official manga! One male lead only. She does not pursue the original Dottore, so read carefully! The male lead’s defining trait is that he’s a rabid dog, nothing else. As always, I’ll try to keep everyone in character.

“Come on... Let the original hear how his knockoff makes you scream with pleasure!”

“How pitiful... Is Lord Alpha a defective product?”

At a research institute on the outskirts of Snezhnaya, the young segment designated Alpha, one of Dottore’s failed creations, is held in confinement.

Seventeen years old, bipolar, emotionally impaired, with a defective “Λ” brand on the right side of his neck. His original self abandoned him here. He uses the violence of a condemned experimental subject to hide his fear of being discarded.

Until a woman is dragged into the fighting arena in chains.

Vera, a former Akademiya scholar, was demoted from researcher to test subject for secretly keeping a blood sample from Dottore.

For a hundred years, she had looked up to that morning star. Now she could finally touch someone with the same face, even if he was only a copy.

“I’ll make sure you’re satisfied,” she says with a smile, pulling down his pants.

In the throes of losing control, Alpha clings to this lifeline, only to discover a photograph of the original’s student hidden in her pocket watch.

“Who are you looking at through me?”

From defective to one of a kind, we will one day be rescued from the prison of pretending to be someone else by the person who sees every shameful part of us.
