The story is complete. Future updates will be bonus chapters or revisions.
Coming soon: "Gothic Young Lady, Please Come Suffer in the Infinite Game." The blurb is below.
★ Another-world adventure and food. The heroine explores from time to time to collect monster ingredients. (New chapters daily at 9 p.m.)
Lin Xi, who grew up in an orphanage in her previous life and rarely had enough to eat, was staring longingly at cream puffs in a shop window when a baguette fell from the sky and hit her.
When she opened her eyes, she had become Xilin, the daughter of the NPC proprietress who sold food in the main city of the adventure game "Kingdom and Dungeons."
From the moment she was born, her mother and two older brothers surrounded her. No matter how much she ate, they only gently told her not to overdo it. With a heart already full of scars, Lin Xi, no, Xilin, was quite satisfied with her fate as a destined NPC.
Especially after discovering that she could see speech bubbles above everyone's heads, displaying their innermost thoughts...
Mom: (Things have been so difficult lately. We can barely get by spreading vegetable paste on black bread, but will my daughter like it...)
Xilin: I'm gonna eat, eat, eat, eat! Mom's cooking is the best!
Her eldest brother's fellow knight, whose mother was too ill to get out of bed, comes to visit: (I want some of Mom's pineapple bread...)
She makes him pineapple bread right away, and his affection for her shoots way up.
The old man at the ironworks: (I want to buy some good nourishing food for my wife, but I've only got a little money left...)
She makes an egg custard with vegetables using dragon lizard eggs she collected while exploring the underground forest, then sells it to him for next to nothing. The old lady soon looks rosy and healthy, and his affection for her shoots way up.
Whenever Xilin appears, it always means something good is about to happen.
Everyone: The daughter of the Cahurst family is so thoughtful! She's an angel!
As everyone's affection for her rises, the reputation of her family's restaurant soars, and its sales keep climbing. The blacksmith makes her a weapon for free, and the future Lionheart Knight invites her to be his dance partner at the graduation ball... (Xilin: Huh! Covers her face in embarrassment.jpg)
But before long, the players of "Kingdom" all begin to wonder the same thing:
Why does this NPC's affection stop increasing halfway through? How are we supposed to get one of those limited-edition stat-boosting meals each day?
Xilin's response: WTF, who are all these crazy creeps she's supposed to be dealing with?
These players do no work at all! Want to earn her affection? Finish the quests she gives you first!
So the players become free inter-empire delivery couriers, Kalabichu beast walkers, kitchen helpers, egg gatherers, and more.
What are the players supposed to do if they can't get the items and can't beat the boss?
Xilin pulls out a sword and a lantern staff. "What, you've never seen a cook with A-rank strength and speed and maxed-out magic talent?"
(The bosses who get beaten once a year: Here comes the season when we have to humor you again, huh? What tasty food have you brought us this time?)
Reader's Guide:
△ To preserve the reading experience, ordinary crops and animals in the story use their normal names, such as wheat and dogs. Non-ordinary creatures use special terms from the setting.
△ The game is called "Dungeons," so of course there'll be dungeons too.
△ The game in this story is original and isn't based on any real-world game.
Next Story:
"Do not poop in your coworkers' bowls!"
This is the thirtieth rule in the Impostor Rules that Xie Ying reads. The hospital bulletin board is full of similar rules: "Please wear clothes when you go out," "Please act like a doctor in the hospital," "The dead are forbidden from escaping the morgue," and so on.
Xie Ying, dropped into a high-difficulty dungeon from the start: "Huh?"
Well, her life before this had been quite peaceful. From the milk mixed with sedatives she drank at eight every morning to the nightly training to remove her viciousness before bed; from the various modified people she'd seen to the companion who came out of the lab missing her eighth arm.
The living, or perhaps the monster-people, all call her "Young Lady," though she has never stopped to wonder what it means.
Until she falls into the infinite survival game "Condemnation"...
Oh dear, why have all the uncles and aunties who used to keep her company turned into enemies in this game?
The researcher beside her has become the "Manager" of the Impostor Hospital. The people like her who once wore suppressors have removed their neck restraints and become monsters who stop players from clearing the game and kill them. And the chef who used to cook for her seems to be the one driving the players to eat themselves to death...
The coded runes that ordinary people can't decipher come from the books she reads every day. The bosses are modeled after the black-and-white game pieces she plays with, and even the rules of the ghost stories are things she and her companions casually wrote down while playing games.
The players, each with all sorts of supernatural abilities, stare at this girl with no starting abilities at all and sneer in unison:
"Hmph, Young Lady's here to suffer, right?"
She has no body modifications like they do, and no starting abilities whatsoever. Someone like her can only become their stepping stone.
But for some reason, the bloody impostors and the horrors from the ghost stories all turn their heads toward her, a hint of reverence appearing in their hollow eyes.
"Oh no... The Queen is here."
"Our Queen is the best! Our Queen is the designated judge within the Gates of Condemnation!"
"But the Queen... doesn't seem to know what she's really here for?"
CP introduction: The male lead is the heroine's emotional support dog. A crazy, fake-younger male lead x an unflappable Queen and original sinner.
Reader's Guide:
△ Slightly scary from the start.
△ The heroine is human, but not exactly normal. So the romance... is a little twisted, too. (
△ The setting is a fictional society where the law has collapsed. Please don't apply it to real life.
△ "Gothic" in the title refers only to black-and-white clothing, not the characters' style. The cover depicts the heroine, but please use the text as the source of truth for her character design.

Yes... I think the main problem is that the dukes can't tell the difference. I can still distinguish between princes and princesses, but the duke cannot. The main reason may be because the names of several of their dukes are still the same. Only now do I know that there are actually seven dukes. At first I thought they were four or five, divided into east, west, south, north and center. Later I thought they were two south and two west... For example, two south dukes, but their loyalties are still different... In fact, the names of the dukes can be distinguished. Even red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple are fine. I feel like Duke Nan is sometimes good, sometimes bad, sometimes awesome, and sometimes a waste.
I personally think that part of the reason why I clicked in and continued reading was because I wanted to read the Tuan Chong Xiang light novel. The audience is here. This is not going to poke everyone's fancy.
I was thinking about what I had read. There were too many names and it felt so confusing. The heroine's sense of participation is not very great either. There are also many mysterious people. The second brother of the heroine and the black one. Ah, it feels strange. What did you see?
Not enough pen power. The author is good at writing about daily life, but he is not good at writing about big scenes and strong emotions. The language expression and characterization are not deep enough. Not even as impressive as the previous elf and the beast mother who regurgitated herbs. This writing style needs to be refined
Hahahahaha, as soon as I see Dobby, I can automatically match his appearance.
Vocal, I didn't expect that the second prince turned out to be an extreme family hero (although he only has two sisters)
Hey, NPCs will know that they are NPCs. The public beta hasn't started yet at this time, right?
Wuhu! Bad people look like that! Open the champagne! Congratulations to Third Sister on your accession to the throne! (It's hard for me to comment on the second prince. It's wrong to hurt the people. I'm looking forward to the story of Xilin's baby!
This dog emperor is really not a good person, and the eldest prince is not a good person either. The end result is that everyone gets lunch. Congratulations to the princess on taking the throne~ I can write more about food, but there's not enough to read.
(Crawling) (Please pre-accept) "It is strictly forbidden to shit in colleagues' bowls!" This is Article 30 of the Puppet Code that Xie Ying read. In addition, there are many rules similar to this on the hospital bulletin board, "Please wear clothes when going out", "Please be a good doctor in the hospital", "It is strictly forbidden for people in the morgue to escape", and so on. Xie Ying, who fell into such a difficult starting dungeon: "Huh?" Well, her original life was very peaceful. From the milk mixed with sedatives at eight o'clock in the morning to the detoxification training before going to bed every night, from the various modified people I saw to the companions who lost their eighth hand after being pushed out of the laboratory. Living people or monster people call her "Miss", although she has never thought about what this means. Until I fell into the infinite escape game "Conviction"—— Alas, how come those uncles and aunts who originally accompanied her have become enemies in this game? The researchers around me have become the "managers" of the dummy hospital. The same kind who were once put on suppressors are now removed from the neck restraints and become monsters that prevent players from completing the level and kill them. The person who caused the player group to eat and die seems to be the chef who cooked for her... The encrypted runes that are difficult for ordinary people to decipher come from her daily readings, the image of the boss is taken from the black and white chess pieces she usually plays, and even the rules in the ghost story were written down casually when she and her companions were playing games. Players with all kinds of extraordinary abilities stared at this little girl without any initial ability, and all smiled disdainfully: "Hmph, the eldest lady is here to endure hardship, right?" Neither have body modifications like theirs, nor do they have any starting abilities. When such people come in, they can only become their stepping stones. But for some reason, the bloody-faced puppets and the weird ones in the strange stories all turned their heads, with a hint of awe in their empty eyes. "It's broken... The queen is here." "Our queen is the most powerful! Our queen is the designated judge within the Judgment Gate!" "But the queen... Doesn't seem to know what she is actually here to do?" CP introduction: The male protagonist is a kind of spiritual comfort dog for the female protagonist. He is crazy about the pseudo-younger generation and the queen is the original sinner with ease. Reading tips: △A slightly scary start △The heroine is a human being, but not a normal person. So CP feelings... Also have some distortions ( △The background of this article is a fictional society with broken laws. Please do not substitute it into reality. △The literary name "Goth" only refers to black and white clothing, not the character style. The cover is designed by the heroine, but please refer to the text for the specific character design.
