They Turned Dark After Their Affection Hit Max

[VIP Announcement: This novel will go VIP on Tuesday, June 27. Chapters 1-20 will be switched to VIP status retroactively, starting from Chapter 21. There will be a 10,000-word update on launch day. Thank you for your continued support!]

I was a magical girl sent to rescue trapped players, but my mission got stuck on the very first step.

My lousy System set all the NPCs' starting affection levels to 100%, hoping they'd help me complete my mission.

But... the NPCs went dark.

The upright and wise base commander has become wildly controlling, gripping me by the nape of my fate.

"Please get a grip and don't turn into a criminal!"

The wise and selfless head of the research institute has become a yandere.

"I suggest you put down that knife! Don't make me kneel and beg you!"

The bravest and strongest mercenary... Ah, he's fine, it's just...

"Are you raising pigs?! I really can't eat another bite!"

Wondering why I don't just go it alone?

That's because... my lousy System set my combat power to 5. (Big-nostril smile.jpg)

The game starts in hell. I'm probably doomed.

P.S.

1. Regardless of faction, gender, or race, all eligible romance targets have maximum affection once their routes are unlocked.

2. The heroine has no feelings and is here to complete a mission. Everyone's feelings are unrequited.

3. Third-person narration.

New novel coming soon:

[Wuxia Crossover] When I Put on My Anime Secret Identities

Name: Ma Liangchen

Occupation: Fan artist specializing in anime

Cause of death: Stayed up all night working on a deadline because she was obsessed with games

After she died, Ma Liangchen opened her eyes in a wuxia world and found herself bound to a calligraphy brush that claimed to be a divine pen. It said that anything she drew could become one of her secret identities. If she could retrieve the book Classic of Mountains and Seas, filled with mythical beasts and demons, from a certain major villain, she could come back to life.

For the sake of the game she hadn't finished, she set out to save the world.

But...

Ma Liangchen: I drew Gojo Satoru, Uchiha Madara, Asakura Hao, Sesshomaru, Shana, Kikyo... and you're telling me only Doraemon can come to life?!

Divine Pen: Can't be helped. Your level is too low.

Hua Manlou: This little dinosaur called Agumon gave me this. It's called a Digivice. I'll show you how it works.

Ma Liangchen, sprinting toward social death: Please, don't! (I don't want to transform in front of everyone!!)

Conan (Ma Liangchen): There's only one truth... Take this!

Chu Liuxiang: What's with this soft ball? It... turned into a star?!

Tie Shou: Are you even human?!

Conan (Ma Liangchen), chewing on a blade of grass: Don't ask. You wouldn't understand. It's Conan science.

Ma Liangchen grabs the divine pen by its "neck": Are you doing this on purpose, making me use only these secret identities?!

P.S. These aren't the only secret identities, of course.

A nostalgia trip, with most secret identities from older anime and novels.

Including, but not limited to: Shaman King, The Twelve Kingdoms, Bleach, Naruto, Katekyo Hitman Reborn!, Pokemon, Hunter x Hunter, Journey to the West, Investiture of the Gods...

Completed:

Streaming the Emperors' Dark History from the Start. They can't get to me anyway~

[Wuxia Crossover] When I Put on My Anime Secret Identities: ??? Why is your whole organization full of such oddballs?

Theme: Even when you're backed into a corner, don't give up
