If Not for Love Rivals Everywhere

[The protagonist is not a virgin and has an ex who won't leave him alone] [The protagonist is selfish, self-righteous, and thin-skinned]

When he first clicked on this strange game, big spender Chun Chenbanjian did it out of boredom. The rewards for reviewing the game had also piqued his curiosity.

[Clear the game and you can choose any one item from inside the game to take out with you~]

Wouldn't that make you invincible? It's like one of those Gold Miner games: just haul the gold out!

To be honest, the game's gimmick and formula weren't anything new. Eight out of ten games make the same claims. But the game's art was excellent. For a 3D game, the character models were practically perfect, and the characters didn't even clip through things when they moved. So, although the game had plenty of flaws, Chun Chenbanjian could put up with them.

These men, incarnations of swords, each had a distinct personality and their own strengths. They were gorgeous, and they even addressed you with humble honorifics. In another game, just four of them could carry the entire franchise. And here there were dozens.

But the longer he played, the more something seemed off...

Again and again, Chun Chenbanjian had to make choices. It seemed as if he chose correctly, but somehow he always seemed to choose wrong. It wasn't just the game: even in real life, it felt as if one wrong step always led to another.

Since that was how things were, he might as well stick to his original goal. One choice, one result.

His own sword-men stood against him, and in an instant he lost everything.

But why should he care about them?

It's just a game. He could reload and start over.
