Synopsis

*Top

*Beautiful, charismatic top x powerful, spoiled bottom

You are a world-renowned, internationally acclaimed artistic genius.

Painting, music, architecture... You have explored many artistic fields and achieved remarkable success in them all.

At eighteen, your sudden rise to fame was like a bomb, setting the world alight.

[First playthrough: Your debut video goes viral overnight, earning you fifty million fans across the internet. Your beauty is undeniable. Congratulations, player, on achieving the feat "Beauty Beyond Compare."]

[Second playthrough...]

[Third playthrough: You unexpectedly draw the golden-tier talent, Dreamspace. Every work you create becomes a landmark in its city! Authorities in the field rush to endorse you, young designers treat you as their muse, and invitations to top global projects pour in. The architecture world marvels at you, a rising star.]

[Fourth playthrough: The "genius painter" appears out of nowhere, and the media praise you as "a modern-day da Vinci who weaves dreams with color" and "a visual poet seen once in a century." Leading art schools court you; art museums hold solo exhibitions for you, and on opening day, a line stretching a kilometer forms, with fans crowding around your works.]

Your fans adore you for your orphanage upbringing and your turbulent life. They raise funds to establish a foundation for you, and streets are lined with banners supporting you.

[Dear player, welcome to The Great Artist Simulator.]

[Please draw your starting identity.]

[New Money / Academic Family / Ordinary Employee / Homeless Orphan]

[Please draw your talent.]

[Photographic Memory / Athletic Ability / Design Prodigy / Social Butterfly]

[Please draw your field.]

[Architecture / Painting / Theater / Music / Design]

[Please draw your regret.]

[Sensory Overload / Crushing Debt / Memory Loss / Emotional Disorder]

You are playing a game called Artist Simulator, and you draw three starting attributes: [Perfect Looks], [Design Prodigy], and [Emotional Disorder].

People in the field see you as a god at the top of the pyramid, gazing up at your talent as if on a pilgrimage. Those outside the field are enchanted by your vulnerability, which you reveal without meaning to.

Even though you play the field among numerous powerful and influential people, and there's a rumor that you and your mentor, the godfather of fashion, have an ambiguous relationship, your fans remain terrifyingly devoted.

Some even defend you, saying, "Artists are always a little eccentric, and a rare genius like you is bound to be different from ordinary people."

*Top, with a different partner in each playthrough

*An unapologetic everyone-loves-the-protagonist story

*All bottoms are sexually inexperienced, before and after

*This isn't entirely a simulator, so many of the simulator's features don't appear. It's actually more like a life simulator.

*The protagonist is imperfect and has character flaws

Theme: Love life.

Top-Centric Romance

I’m more of a top fan, and this is a little record for myself. Looking back over six years, there haven’t been many great reads. No weak or weepy tops, no overly animalistic portrayals of tops, and no episodic stories.

Love Angsty, Twisted Romance with Gravity-Bending Dynamics (Top-Obsessed Edition)

The whole world can revolve around the bottom. I love melodrama, angst, and top-tier weird kinks, but I have high standards. I especially like heavy, intense stories… not so much the fluffy ones.

Su Tops, Strong Tops, and Dominant Tops

I'm partial to stories that glorify the top; making the top the coolest is the top priority. No weak tops, muddled roles, top-bashing, or tops who need rescuing.

Gong-Centric, Gong-Obsessed, Straight Gong, Pampered Gong

I like stories with pampered tops, or tops who are straight or don't return the love. Sadly, there's not much to read, and so many great stories are unfinished. Keeping a record so I can reread them later.

A Peerless Beauty Descends, BL or BG

The protagonist has to be drop-dead gorgeous. I'm that shallow. Male or female, top or bottom, preferably with a career-focused plot and a protagonist adored by everyone. I especially like dark, twisted bottoms.
