A Game Called Bungo Stray Dogs

[Taking a break] The next chapter will be late (I haven't finished writing it), or might come whenever, orz. The author is currently away from work in wh and still hasn't returned. I've kept up a daily update pace while slacking off, but I have no backlog, so every day I'm tearing my hair out and a nervous wreck. I'm very grateful for the messages from my lovely readers, which have helped me keep going, but the pressure is still huge, orz. I'm not a professional writer (I feel like this whole book has a lot of problems), and after failing to get a contract many times, I'm about to start work as an office drone, so updates will become irregular. (Honestly, I already want to lock the story and do a major rewrite. I haven't managed to capture the feeling I want, and I'm starting to think I lack both the foundation and the ability.) I hope I can get my feelings in order and set off again. You must move between different organizations and forge bonds, using your beauty and intelligence to gain familial love, friendship, and a one-of-a-kind romance. Your ultimate goal is to romance every male character in Bungo Stray Dogs. Changing into a male character unlocks female achievements (bonus content). Lucky one, are you ready? Xiao Shi Aisaku: I'll choose death... (collapses) Borrow your ability, 486. Talking about feelings with me would only hurt our relationship. I'm truly scum, I truly love you, and even a bad ending is still love. No one confesses their love to her. Everyone knows that the moment they say it aloud, they will be sentenced to death. Loved by a witch, she will eventually fall and become a witch herself. [Details] Multiple playthroughs, with different routes depending on your choices. No central pairing in the main story; the endings have one-on-one side routes. The story as a whole is slow-paced, with character relationships taking precedence over the plot. This book will be long. It's a heartwarming story. A sweet story (said deadpan). Just think of it as a game walkthrough. [Warnings] 1. This is a self-indulgent fic. The characters' intelligence is capped by the author's intelligence. Point out any bugs and I'll try to fix them. 2. 486's ability is an addition, and the secondary setting is not meant to be taken seriously. You don't need to have read Re:Zero; just know that it's about going back to a save point after death (meaning the character will die many times). 3. No save files, but there is an outline. Even if I abandon the story, I'll publish the outline (probably). The author is an office drone who starts stories when there's nothing to do. Leave a message if you have questions; I might not answer.
