Tang Yun has never been interested in romance.
But the only confessions she'd ever turned down were from guys, until
Underclassman: "I've liked you for a long time, Senpai!"
Adoptive sister: "Will you take care of me?"
Best friend: "I don't want to be your friend. I want to date you."
Teacher: "I don't support dating in high school. But after you graduate, would you let me pursue you?"
Delinquent girl: "I like both cats and you."
Poor thing: "Thank you so much! So can I stay by your side forever?"
Childhood friend: "I've liked you for so long. Are you telling me you really haven't noticed at all?"

Tang Yun: ?? What?
You've got to be kidding me.
This is way beyond my pay grade.
·
A stone-cold loner who stays unmoved even after getting skewered by one-sided crushes.
Tang Yun: I'm absolutely never going to date anyone.
·
One-line summary: Who are you going to date? Pick one, damn it!
·
* The protagonist has the clichéd, everyone-loves-her character setup.
* Everyone has a one-sided crush on the protagonist.
* The romance is very slow-burn.
* I'll write whatever comes to mind.
I just want to write a story where she unwittingly wins people over, then gets pursued herself.
Overall, the protagonist is the one being pursued, and she's very hard to win over.
The protagonist is a little oblivious, but she's not stupid.
I couldn't find what I wanted, so I'm writing it myself. I want the story to feel like a yuri-style dating sim.
But a large part of the early story won't be very direct about the romance.
There will definitely be character-specific IF routes in the extras (single-route endings, so no worries if you're a stickler for monogamy).
But the main story may not suit readers who firmly insist on a one-on-one romance and monogamy.
All sorts of wild things may happen during the pursuit!
I'm not sure whether it'll have an open ending. I'll know when I finish writing it. I haven't decided yet.
If it ends with no couple, it'll go like this
Everyone: Pick one of us!
Tang Yun: No matter who I choose, I'll hurt the other six. So I'll choose none of you, and we can all suffer equally.
(Trust me, I'll do my best to finish this someday... in my lifetime, maybe...?)(hesitates)
Theme: If you bloom, the butterflies will come.
How long does it take to update? I can't wait.
