--[Love: A Blade in a Riot of Blossoms ☆ Taisho Tale]
One day, you get your hands on a virtual-reality otome game with an extravagant name like this.
It's advertised as 100% realistic, with an endless number of routes to pursue, and you can even sample all sorts of delicious food in the game.
[Now that's something I can stay awake for.jpg]
"Once your affection level with a romance target reaches 80, you can enter the ending. It's really simple!" The troublemaking AI Q-bear cheerfully leads you on.
You look at the ending of the route you've worked so hard to clear, then start another playthrough without changing your expression. You little liar. I wouldn't believe you if my life depended on it!
After clearing several endings, and choosing just one romance route each time you reload, you know all too well how important it is to stay "faithful" in an otome game. But while you're working diligently through yet another new playthrough, one of your previous romance targets looks at you and asks, puzzled:
"You seem really familiar. Have we met somewhere before?"
"N-no, it's probably just your imagination..."
Author's reading guide:
1. Although this is a crossover centered on Demon Slayer, the "game" is focused almost entirely on the Demon Slayer world. The "real world" has the worldbuilding of YGGDRASIL + Katekyo Hitman Reborn! + a little bit of Touken Ranbu + K. The timelines are a mess, and there are lots of personal additions, so be warned.
2. The main routes are mostly based on Demon Slayer, and there are plenty of romance targets. If he's handsome, I want him (?). For example, swordsmiths. The story follows multiple routes in parallel, but at key points they'll split into branches with corresponding endings. (Save files are great.)
3. A Mary Sue dating fic with a mountain of fanon. The Demon Slayer anime has only adapted the first season, so the rest follows the manga. All the details are made up, there's no logic or writing skill, and my original additions may get face-slapped by canon.
4. Second-person narration warning. OOC warning.

Well, I don't know if my wife still remembers my ID. It's been more than two years since I last saw you and said you would update it tonight. It's been three years in a blink of an eye. Is the third dimension going well, my wife? From the time I read this article in my second year of high school to my freshman year in college, I'll come here from time to time to see if there's any updates. My memory of the content of the work and my love for anime are not as good as before, but I still remember the author's touching writing style. I hope everyone who was active together in the beginning will have success in the third dimension.
It's really beautiful! The line about Anjuro Purgatory is the best piece of writing I have ever read. The characters and story are both great! I've brushed it five or six times! Big! When will you come back? I really want to read this novel to the end! Great writing!
Today is 2022.2.8. I'm at the bottom of the trap
Wuwuwuwu, it turns out this is a trap. Wuwuwuwu.
I'm back after three years. Please, your book is really, really good. Please, don't cheat me.
It's 2023 and I'm still here qaq
Even though I knew this was a trap, I still jumped in.
Although I read the reviews and found out that I was fooled, I still came in and read it. I felt very touched. The writing and plot concept are also very good. The TV version of the Knife Forging Village chapter has just been aired. I really hope that my wife can watch Hui Keng and finish writing this article. I want to buy it four or five times.
I was tricked, such a good writer,,, so sad
Three years ooooooooooooo
