Possible trigger warnings:
1. A long psychological horror story with light mystery and a serious tone, told in an immersive second person, with no names or physical descriptions.
2. You are not a helpless vine clinging to a tree. You are a dangerous force capable of destroying everything, with magic techniques and domain abilities.
3. Includes mental manipulation and dissociative identity disorder (no selfcest). The emotional intensity is high early on. Stop reading if any scenes make you uncomfortable.
4. People lie according to their own interests. Every major character who appears develops extreme, excessive feelings for you. Almost every character has serious flaws they can't escape, and no one is a complete saint.
5. The story's timeline only goes up to 2017. There are many characters, a chaotic mix of obscure, niche, and popular ones (there really are a lot... and they haven't all appeared yet).
6. The character relationships are realistic, with tense, fiery romantic rivalries and gl elements (a character really does have a one-sided yuri crush on you). The men are faithful, though they're in their twenties, the perfect age to be a player!
7. No picking a favorite love interest. The male lead is Gojo. Happy ending.
As the story develops, you'll have different feelings toward the people you meet, but that doesn't mean you're in love with them. People are shaped by their surroundings, and they influence each other, too.
People are complicated, bundles of contradictions. The story contains many morally gray depictions of human nature. If you expect characters to be completely flawless, you'll probably be disappointed.
And, most of the time, the narration is limited to your point of view. You can't read the other characters' minds, and have to infer what they're thinking from their words and actions. Come enjoy the story!
Your feelings are not the same as reality. Misunderstandings and conflicts are often born in the gaps between what people know.
The male lead has been decided, but the story mainly revolves around you. It's not centered on any one character. If anything, it revolves around you.
Please read the author's notes alongside the story! They include [Some Speculative and Imprecise Research and Timeline Assumptions]. No spoilers, just discussion and explanations of some canon details and original headcanons!
