Sienna Schroeder got her hands on a full-dive immersive game called [Fall in Love~DM Universe: Infinite Possibilities].
A dedicated completionist, even when playing a dating game, Sienna was determined to collect the ending CGs for every romanceable NPC.
But maybe Sienna just had terrible luck in love. Every romance ended in a BE. Forget about an HE, she couldn't even get an OE.
So, in a fit of anger, Sienna swore to achieve the most heartrending, unforgettable BE ending possible.
Starting over from the beginning, Sienna went all out.
She went straight to the Green Lantern's personal route and unlocked the Bad Ending [Dandelions Drifting Over the Ruins].
Postscript:
"Born unlucky, you came close to death countless times, but fortunately, you always survived."
"Later, you fell in love with a hero and found a brief moment of happiness. But sadly, that love was destined to scatter like dandelion seeds in the wind."
Second playthrough
Congratulations! You completed Batman's personal route and achieved the Bad Ending [Winter Snow, Slowly Melting].
Postscript:
"You met in early spring and fell in love in midsummer."
"Sadly, a happy HE ending exists only in fairy tales. In the end, you died on the last day of autumn, as the leaves withered. On the day you were buried, Gotham's first snow fell."
"That day, he stood by your gravestone for a long time, so long that the first snow began to melt."
Third playthrough
Congratulations! You completed Spider-Man's personal route and achieved the Bad Ending [Half a Soul].
Postscript:
"At the very end, the girl who loved him, and whom he loved in return, was gone. All that remained was the ash left behind after her soul burned away."
"A transparent ghost with no memories or feelings, stripped of love and hate, and never to feel affection or resentment again."
Fourth playthrough
Congratulations! You completed Daredevil's personal route and achieved the Bad Ending [The Bird That Never Stops Flying].
Postscript:
"After that day, Matt regained his sight and continued working days and nights as he always had, as though the girl who changed his life had never appeared."
"Still, whenever he happened to see the moon in the night sky, he couldn't help but lose himself for a moment, remembering the night he first met you."
"He remembered how, whenever you talked about death, you would always say lightly that if you could, you hoped to become a bird after you died, flying from one end of the world to the other."
"Then may your wish come true. For the first and last time, Matt hoped that a wish would come true. He gazed at the crescent moon and spoke silently."
Fifth playthrough
Congratulations! You completed Superman's personal route and achieved the Bad Ending [Black Madonna].
Postscript:

Eighth playthrough

Driven to madness by all the heartbreak, the player fought back with an utterly ruthless string of Bad Endings, including:
[The False Garden of Eden], [Beneath the Nightmare], [The Ghost That Follows Like a Shadow], [A Shooting Star That Vanishes in an Instant], [The Last Human], [The Shattered Crystal Ball], [A Promise That Can Never Be Kept], [Code in Progress], [Drowning Together Beneath the Moon]...
Just as Sienna was having fun and starting to grow tired of the game,
she met someone whose face she couldn't make out in a dream. Sienna, who had been letting loose in the game, was told:
You think this is just a game?
No!
This is a parallel universe.
Before Sienna could even react, she was told that the exes she'd given a BE to were about to find the universe she was in!
After learning the truth, Sienna was just about to flee. She had barely boarded a spaceship when a black hole opened behind her, and a man stepped out of it.
The handsome man smiled at her and held out his hand. "Come to me, Sienna."
Sienna: Stay away from me!

Notes for readers:
1. The protagonist doesn't learn until the middle or later that the game is actually a parallel universe, a real world.
2. Most of the time, the protagonist thinks like a player. Her occasional moments of emotion are just for completing routes and immersing herself in the role. She doesn't have much genuine feeling.
3. The protagonist is ridiculously powerful, but her strength is nerfed early in each playthrough. Once the ending is set, she starts fighting for real.
4. Every playthrough ends in a BE, except for the final one, which has an HE.
5. It features a Type-Moon crossover, but most of the characters who appear are from FGO.
