Synopsis

A veteran game producer transmigrates one day into the body of a weak, pitiful, helpless male insect: Berkeley Rosen.

The System tells him that if he can't collect enough love within a month, he'll die. “We recommend dating at least ten female insects a day, or actively donating sperm.”

Rosen: “...?”

Dating? Donating sperm? No.

Looking at this love-starved world, where male insects are scarce and female insects are abundant, the workaholic in him stirs.

If love is the currency for clearing the game, why not develop a dating game!

That ridiculous love-collecting System can also be his ultimate game-development cheat...

The dating sim, A Promise of Reunion, makes its sensational debut.

“Game character [You An]: a male insect who lost his beloved and wanders alone through countless worlds. Fragile as he is, he takes up a blade and fights his way through 182 worlds, until at last... he finds you.”

This unprecedented dating-sim experience takes the interstellar community by storm as soon as it launches.

The forums erupt:

[Lord You An fought his way through 182 worlds alone? Impossible! What is the Male Insect Protection Association doing?!]

[Every other lord is carefully looked after, but he's left to wander... This makes no sense!]

[That broke my heart! Tell me how to help him!]

Rosen smiles faintly and keeps the story coming:

[Danger on a Rainy Night]: You An is badly injured and sends you his last words. Will you help him?

[Sweet Treats]: Pick his favorite candy to perhaps raise his affection.

[The Past Revealed]: The truth behind their separation begins to emerge, full of unrequited longing and the pain of parting...

Following his lead, players' hearts are wrung out one moment and soaring with joy the next. Like parched earth finally receiving rain, they lose themselves in this grand, beautiful virtual romance.

Love points flood in like a deluge, all flowing into the account of one “unscrupulous” producer.

Just as Rosen is devoting himself to writing a new story, his biggest investor, the interstellar admiral famous for his coldness, sends him a message.

Investor: “When are you free? I'd like to talk.”

Rosen raises an eyebrow, fingers flying over the keyboard: “I'm busy upgrading the engine. We can talk about the new story tonight.”

The other party's status stays on “typing” for a long time.

He sets down his terminal, but then someone knocks at the door.

Outside stands the admiral, just back from a bloody battlefield, still radiating a murderous aura. But the moment he sees Rosen, he drops to one knee, takes his hand, and presses a restrained yet burning kiss to it:

“I'm sorry. I wasn't talking about the game's story.”

“I'm afraid you'll be blinded by false affection... They love the illusion you created.”

“But from beginning to end, there has only ever been you in my eyes.”

[Career-obsessed, adored by everyone without realizing it, top x A killing machine to the outside world, insecure lovesick romantic in private, bottom]

Set in a fictional virtual world, unrelated to reality. Please don't project it onto real life.

A Dedicated Top Reader Who Only Reads Top-Pairing BL

I'm a fan of the top, so I tend to favor stories with a top as the protagonist. I prefer characters who are sexually inexperienced, but I'm a little open-minded. My favorite is when two strong characters dote on each other. Absolutely no pathetic, clingy tops, no bottoms who aren't sexually pure, no stories that only put the top through angst, and no bottoms whose feelings aren't strong enough.

Recent Ongoing Stories with a Submissive Top: Beloved Tops Are the Best

I’m a top’s mom and love stories where the top is doted on by the bottom. I’m not into ordinary bottoms. Everything on this list is something I’ve been following recently. I’ll mark the ones where they dote on each other.

Insectoid Society (Males Above Females)

This kind of love may be unhealthy, but it's just too delicious (no power imbalance, no frustration, no heartache). I'll also include quick transmigration stories with insectoid characters. The comments are my parking lot.
