[This blurb is not the final version]
On the opening day of the full-dive game The Ultimate Performer, it becomes a global sensation. Jiang Li, one of its ten most popular streamers, returns to her capsule after disappearing for three years and chooses the hottest game setting of the moment: [The Detective World].
System X: Esteemed player "Money Makes My Favorite Dance," you are the 4534...88th performer to choose [The Detective World]. You have now been assigned your primary identity card!
[A good-for-nothing true-blooded black-side player, badly outmatched in every way, who just wants to coast through life.]
Great.
This is not an easy role to play.
The game's passing score depends on votes from the live chat audience, which determines how well you play your role and unlocks [Secondary Identity Cards]+.
Once all identity cards are lit up and you score at least 60 to pass, 80 for excellence, and 100 for a perfect score, you can beat the game.

Popular primary identity cards like "The Sixth Member of the Police Academy Class," "Kudo's Beloved Older Sister," and "The Younger Sister of a Police Academy Classmate" aren't among them.
Jiang Li gives up the option to pay for a new identity card and clicks confirm.
Live Chat:
Another one's gone crazy. Everyone knows the Red Side is terrifyingly strong now.
The distillery's destruction is inevitable. The last person who chose a true-blooded black-side identity already has three feet of dirt over their grave.

Game Start:
[Esteemed player "Money Makes My Favorite Dance," your starting identity is named Qiu Ran Jiang Li, codename Marsala...]
Jiang Li: This game's logic is something else. I'm already a good-for-nothing, but I still get a codename? That's unfair to those capable, diligent fringe members of the distillery :D. I like this kind of unfairness. Give me more!
System X: ?
If she wants to play the role of a [good-for-nothing true-blooded black-side player] well, she can't steal the spotlight.
She pushes Rye up onto the rooftop: You can snipe, so you do it. I'll stand nearby and fluff your hair.
She shoves Bourbon into the driver's seat: You know how to drive, so you drive. I'm a delicate young woman who gets carsick even in bumper cars.
She hands Gin a gun: Come on, Old Gin, give our teammates a good beating. Let's see who still dares to call us the bad guys. We've killed more people on the Black Side than they have on the Red Side!
She gives Scotch a shoulder massage: You don't need to do anything. Being a cook in the organization suits you. Stick with me and I'll make sure you get promoted and rich, and last until the end.
The men: ? What the hell is she talking about?
The men work themselves to death up front, bleeding and sweating, while Jiang Li gleefully takes all the credit from the sidelines.
Jiang Li: They can do what they do today thanks to my excellent support :D
Live Chat: The streamer has no shame.
Live Chat: The streamer really has no shame.
Live Chat: The streamer is utterly shameless.
System X: [Ding! Congratulations, player, you've unlocked Secondary Identity Card No. 1: The Office Drone Who Works Under a Mysterious Public Security Officer]
Jiang Li: ? My primary identity is a true-blooded black-side player, and my secondary identity is a public security officer. Am I a double agent?
/////I haven't figured out what happens next yet. I'll add more later.
Most likely it'll be a management (crossed out) harem story about building up the distillery, going legit, taking down Karasuma to become the boss, and dating men.
