[The King's Avatar] Emotional Deficiency Treatment Plan

To treat her emotional detachment, Shang Rong took a friend's recommendation and entered a full-dive romance game, Love and Glory: All-Star Edition. This romance game, said to be all the rage among countless young women and featuring forty-four male leads, had a supposedly powerful but utterly baffling system: On the surface, your identity, family, and job were just like those in real life. But every morning, you had to use a sign-in to determine your luck for the day, draw a card to decide which male lead you'd meet, and make choices in all sorts of big and small situations to raise his affection. Only after reaching the required affection level could you unlock a date and obtain a Bond Card. Of course, the game did have a few considerate features. For instance, each male lead's starting affection depended on how she was dressed and what she did when they met, with bonus points for appearance and bearing. Eager to challenge herself, Shang Rong set her sights on the male leads in the supposedly hardest-to-win-over "National Team" series. But after logging in, she found that nearly every male lead already had an affection level above the designated romance threshold of 60, and they were all eagerly trying to flirt with her. Shang Rong: ...There's no challenge at all. I'm logging out. System: [Dear player, the romance and dating system is about to unlock, along with various hidden storylines and CGs. Are you sure you don't want to collect them?] Shang Rong thought for a moment. "You have a point." Note: The heroine is from the original world's setting, but she doesn't follow the game and doesn't know any of the male leads. The early story takes place mainly in the game; later, the game world and reality will merge. The author is playing a very long game, so brace yourselves. The forty-four male leads aren't listed in the blurb; see the plot summary in the table of contents for details. This story is also known as: "Can We Take a Break From Flirting?" "If You Can Recommend It, You Can Let Me Log Out" "The Heroine Is Constant, the Male Leads Are a Revolving Door" "X Won't Even Leave the Women Alone"
