The Flawed Ones Game

A barely alive, overworked office drone bottom × a seemingly gentle but truly yandere top

Jiang Jie was dragged into an infinite game. He asked why they had brought him there.

[You have a flaw. You lack emotions.]

Jiang Jie: “I don't think so.”

[It's not a big deal. Whoever I say has one, has one.]

[Everyone selected has some kind of psychological issue. You're the people most likely to clear the game, and I'm looking forward to it.]

Jiang Jie: “...”

All right. Sounds like every player has something seriously wrong with them.

.

As it happened, Jiang Jie ran into a college classmate in the game: Zhong Shizhi.

Back in college, Zhong Shizhi had been easy to overlook. He always wore old-fashioned black-rimmed glasses, almost never got into arguments, and was widely known among their classmates as gentle and good-natured.

They knew each other, but only as casual acquaintances.

The two people the game had labeled as mentally unwell formed an alliance. As they worked together to clear the game, they gradually let down their guard and learned to trust each other.

Until one day, Jiang Jie realized Zhong Shizhi really did have something seriously wrong with him.

Even someone like Jiang Jie, whom the game had defined as “lacking emotions,” could give Zhong Shizhi a lesson in emotional intelligence

“Zhong Shizhi, I did say that ‘liking’ someone means wanting to be with them twenty-four hours a day, but no matter how much you like me, you shouldn't hide under my bed.”

“Zhong Shizhi, you're being really creepy.”

Note:

1. Main character is the bottom; infinite-game story.

2. You can tell from the blurb that this couple has an unconventional approach to romance. Let's wish them well, shall we? We shall!

3. The urban legends, folk tales, strange monsters, and other supernatural elements are based on things I've heard and made up. Don't take them seriously; believe in science.

Theme: Love and redemption
