After Reincarnating as a Noblewoman in Another World, I Discovered...

She was an information-giving NPC in a dating sim. But luck was never on her side. For the first decade and a half after her reincarnation, she worked tirelessly to build her character, make friends, and raise affection ratings. Only after she had maxed out the affection of everyone around her did she realize the truth. The male protagonist transferred in, and the moment she struck up a conversation with him, a voice rang out above her: [Not gonna lie, this NPC in a gay dating game is pretty cute.] Then a flood of comments scrolled across her vision: [What do you mean, gay? You chose to play a male character. How is that the game’s fault?] [In a full-dive adaptive game, the romanceable characters are attracted to the protagonist, so the streamer’s not wrong, lol.] [Isn’t this NPC just the guide character? The friend who gives you information?] The barrage of information hit her like a bolt of lightning. No wonder no one had confessed to her, even after all those hearts piled up. They were all destined to fall for the protagonist, who was a guy! * After climbing Mount Kongtong overnight, her only amusement was getting close to the streamer, messing with him, feeding him false information, and setting him up with romanceable characters. She watched him and the comments fly into helpless rages... She tricked him into sneaking a peek at a noble young man turning into a mermaid, and heard him yell, [Holy crap, that fish stench is so strong! I’m gonna puke, bleugh!] She helpfully reminded him, "I hear mermaids lay eggs." Streamer: [Holy shit, caviar!] She tricked him into playing mediator between twin demons who hated each other, and heard him roar, [Is my face here for each of you to punch me once or what?] She whispered, "Once they start fighting over you, they’ll corner you and ask which one is which..." Streamer: [Agh! Stop, I can picture it now!] But when she tricked him into saying something like a confession to her in front of the romanceable characters, she heard him say, [I’m kind of shy, darling. My one and only, my destined wife who’d be better off mute!] She: "..." Streamer: [Darling, are you really mute now? Darling, say something!] Get lost! * As the first playthrough neared its end, she heard the streamer ask, "The hearts have turned black. Does that mean the affection meter is maxed out?" It means they hate you. She smiled sweetly. But before long, as she held a tea party with the romanceable characters, the streamer suddenly yelled from above, "Come on! Even if I can’t get a boyfriend, can’t we at least be friends? Who the hell poisoned me? Wait, there are several kinds of poison!" She sipped her tea with a smile. What a country bumpkin. Dark, obsessive, and volatile men are standard in dating sims. Bad endings are the norm. Good luck, babe. See you at the save point. Sunlight fell on her golden lashes, making her smile seem all the more pure and serene. The other romanceable characters at the tea party smiled too, wondering what excuse they could use to explain why a certain new friend had suddenly disappeared, and... How to get closer to her than anyone else. * 1. Apart from joking around or comedic scenes, there are no BL elements. This is pure otome. 2. The game is a full-dive adaptive game with a choice of gender, a pay-once text adventure. In the story, it is an unreleased demo. Please don’t casually compare it to real-world games. 3. Mary Sue, everyone has a one-sided crush, romantic rivalry, daily life, and snark. 4. Comments that try to start fights, push BL, or mention other works will be deleted. 5. It’s a full-dive game, and the male protagonist actually enters the world. Core theme: Keep striving!
