After Getting Four Bad Endings, I Choose to Give Up

This is a dating sim that has swept the Federation. With the help of advanced virtual-reality technology, players can immerse themselves in a Western fantasy world inspired by the medieval era and enjoy romantic encounters with the game's eligible love interests.

"A gentle, ascetic Holy Son of the God of Light, a humble and loyal commander of the Knights, an elegant and mysterious Vampire Prince, a handsome and wild Werewolf Chieftain... Every type of high-quality man you could want is here!" reads the game manual.

The advertisements weren't lying, but for Jasmine, the romance in this game was a miserable experience. Thanks to its intelligent AI, the game could produce hundreds or even thousands of endings, and there wasn't a single walkthrough to consult.

So Jasmine, whose brain didn't even have a wire for romance, managed to collect the bad endings for all four eligible characters.

Just as the game released a brand-new version, increasing player freedom and adding even more eligible male leads, Jasmine logged in for the fifth time. By now, she was too lazy to analyze the male leads' inner thoughts and had decided to stop trying altogether. Instead, she chose to play the game differently.

She turned the dating sim into a solo city-building game and even sparked a kingdom-wide war that engulfed the entire game world.

What Jasmine, wholly focused on building up her duchy, failed to notice was that the world had become real since her latest login.

What's more, all four male leads she had previously pursued had awakened the memories of their time with her.

The moment Jasmine logged in for the fifth time, the Holy Son of the God of Light, the commander of the Knights, the Vampire Prince, and the Werewolf Chieftain all had the same memories appear in their minds. Their gazes turned in unison toward a certain female lord on the frontier of the Kingdom of Dennister.

But to their surprise, this female lord named Jasmine didn't pursue them as she had in their memories. Instead, she stayed holed up in her territory and threw herself into developing it.

As all kinds of novelties from that frontier town were sold across the continent and Jasmine transformed a rundown territory into the jewel of the kingdom, the male leads who had been watching her from afar could finally hold back no longer. One after another, they came to see her.

The ascetic Holy Son of the God of Light dropped his reserve in her presence. The wild Werewolf Chieftain was willing to become her loyal dog. The devoted knight expanded her territory for her, while the Vampire Prince became her personal secretary...

Jasmine was utterly baffled. Why had their affection all maxed out this time when I hadn't even pursued them?

The game's eligible male leads all had something to say: Even though she recruits wizards to study forbidden experiments on the human body, makes deals with demons and shows no respect for the gods, plunges the world into prolonged war and conflict, and even wants a share of the dragons' treasure... she's a good girl, isn't she?

Please note before reading:

1. The female lead is not a good person in the traditional sense. She hasn't realized that the game world has become real, and at heart she's a player who just wants to have fun. Some of her actions may deserve a place on the lamppost.

2. The Vampire Prince is the current choice for male lead. There will be a romantic rivalry early on, and the ending will be a one-on-one happy ending.

3. A lighthearted, comedic story in a fictional Western fantasy world. Please don't overanalyze the setting.

4. Feel free to discuss if you don't like the story, but please don't attack the author or the characters. Thank you very much.
