Turning the NPCs to Our Side [Infinite]

[Blurb for the upcoming story “After the Dating Sim's Heroine Awakens” is at the very end.] Blurb Lusha, the most powerful necromancer on the continent, accidentally arrives in another world. Not long after she settles in, a being claiming to be a System pulls her into a space called the “Battle Royale Game.” A desolate city full of monsters, an abandoned skyscraper trapped in a time loop, a zoo where limbs fly everywhere... Players can only hope to survive if they complete their missions within the time limit. Everyone who enters the game gets a unique skill, except Lusha. She gets nothing. Lusha: “??” I have reason to suspect the System is targeting me. Fine, then don't blame me for what happens next. Looking at the monsters, whose taste in looks is as wildly unpredictable as that of her pets, Lusha says, “Hey! You look just like my next pet.” The NPC about to eat someone: “?” Before long, the other players in the battle royale discover that there's a bug among them. Everyone else hides in terror. Lusha cheerfully charges out. Everyone else diligently searches for clues. Lusha pulls an NPC over to discuss job prospects. After a while, the System finally notices that its NPCs are quitting one after another. System: “???” A spy! This must be a spy sent by another game! It'll report her! ·The male lead is basically a prop; the romance is slow to develop and gets little focus. ·Ensemble survival game, happy ending.

One day, Qi Tang suddenly realizes that she is the heroine of a dating sim adapted from a novel. At the same time, a System comes to her and tells her that if she successfully wins over four male leads, she can break free of the game's control and gain her freedom. The targets Qi Tang has to win over are the aloof campus heartthrob, the clingy, spoiled superstar, the domineering tycoon CEO with countless assets, and her childhood friend, who seems to have a secret identity. Qi Tang: “As long as they don't show up in the same place, I can do it.” System: “Host, rest assured. They're all in different scenarios~” Qi Tang relaxes. Winning them over goes smoothly, almost too smoothly. Just after her first target's progress reaches one hundred percent, she hears his inner voice. [System, does this mean I've successfully won her over?] Qi Tang: “...” She discovers that all four targets have also been given a System mission behind the scenes: they have to win her over. I thought I was winning you over, but it turns out you were winning me over? Qi Tang: “Interesting.” Anyone can act, can't they? (smiles) Just as Qi Tang gets carried away with her performance, the promised separate scenarios never materialize. All her targets show up together! Campus heartthrob: “Tangtang, I need you.” Superstar: “Tangtang can only be mine!” Tycoon CEO: “Don't worry. I'll take you somewhere they can't find you.” Childhood friend: “Just say the word, Tangtang, and I'll take them out for you.” Qi Tang: “...Oh.” -Sliced male lead: all four targets are the same person. -A story where both sides pretend to pursue each other, then really fall in love.
