The Otome Game's Collapse Rules

[Thanks for being here with me! (Unit Zero raises a tiny mechanical flower)]

[Please check out my upcoming novel, Offer Your Heart for My Lord's Advent [Insectoid]]

Xi Yin, the Empire's Silver Blade and Her Highness the Princess who devoted herself to aiding her elder brother, had just submitted her 366th resignation when a System suddenly appeared and informed her that she was a sub-character.

A supporting character in an otome game who cannot be romanced, but plays an important role in advancing the plot.

System: You need to take Capture Target A to the back garden, beat Capture Target B half to death, steal Capture Target C's emergency rations, and take Capture Target D's red umbrella on a rainy day... In short, you have to support the heroine and do your best to advance the plot.

Xi Yin: ?

The heroine met a sub-character, and the plot progressed smoothly!

The lazy heroine refused to move without being dragged along, and the plot ground to a halt!

The capture targets didn't get angry at Xi Yin for making things difficult for them. Instead, they fought each other fiercely, and the plot went off the rails!

Xi Yin stole the heroine away and ran off to explore the different realms!

The plot... fell apart completely before it had even gotten started.

System: (frantic) (breaking down) (terrified) What are you even trying to do?

Xi Yin: Oh, I forgot to mention, I'm the savior.

The anchor stabilizing the world is weeping.

The World Tree, rooted deep in the earth, will one day cradle the bones of its companions.

Its child will take up the light of the stars and moon, no longer hiding in the shadows.

"Let's see... Tsk, this is pretty heavy. Better save it."

The unromanceable princess, the shadowy ruler lurking in the dark, the World Tree's agent... From beginning to end, her gaze was fixed on the whole world.

No overtime. Defend freedom. Firmly oppose any unreasonable infringement on personal time.

A. The workaholic but fragile, weepy Emperor: rejected.

B. The battle-crazed Red Wolf, who loves licking people in both human and wolf form, and thinks every wound can be fixed with a few licks: rejected.

C. The delicate but self-sufficient little green tea snake who can bake: rejected.

D. The tsundere, stingy mecha and starship mechanic who is willing to give Xi Yin a discount: rejected.

And the young sea monster she raised on pocket money, the dragon who treats paperwork like messages in bottles, the jealous, husband-coded classmate... All rejected!

- There's a proper plot. The relationships include family, friendship, and all kinds of one-sided crushes, with a happy ending for everyone, as friends.

Offer Your Heart for My Lord's Advent [Insectoid]

Yaoguang is a devoted player of the RPG Insectoid Universe.

Rebuild desolate planets, explore the cosmos, wage interstellar wars... She had leveled up every module to MAX, then started a gaming career that was "supposed to be recruiting subordinates, but was really building a harem."

A defective specimen, wandering among countless star domains and unable to complete its metamorphosis, was rescued from an Insectoid graveyard. She carefully raised it, until its scaled wings scattered stardust capable of tearing through space and time.

A cold-blooded weapon that fed on its own kind and slept in the gaps between wormholes was subdued by her strength. It willingly put on shackles to restrain itself, suppressing its appetite and desire as it swore allegiance to her.

A fellow royal heir, born in the same nest and competing for the throne, was raised at her side. When the day of transformation came, it abandoned its claim to the throne, metamorphosing into the sharpest blade in her hand.

The Insectoids don't practice monogamy, and Yaoguang got the crowd-pleasing reverse-harem ending.

And then... she transmigrated into the game.

The good news: her game progress was preserved.

The bad news: every character, including the protagonist, started out with max affection for her.

Yaoguang: Is it possible that the whole point of my game was raising daughters?

Wait, why is my sweet little darling also... (trails off.jpg)

*

The Insectoids know that their true master is someone else.

She descended from beyond the stars, placing a weak royal heir on the throne and saving them from endless suffering.

"I offer up my body."

"I offer up my time, which will never reach its end."

"I offer up my surging love."

"I offer up half my soul."

"We pray for your descent."

There are other upcoming novels in the same genre on my page! If you're interested, go take a look, and please add them to your collections, hehe. (Raises a huge bunch of mechanical roses.)

Theme: Everyone is the sole protagonist of their own life.
