I'm Everyone's Favorite, Seriously?

1.

Cyril is a self-aware AI.

Though he doesn't know it himself.

He opens his eyes to find himself in an unfamiliar game world. With the healthy attitude that it's fine to live and fine to die, he starts coasting through the missions.

A prison level's guard, the guardian deity of a little people's tribe, a pastry chef in a bizarre tower, a discipline committee member at a violent academy...

Whether he clears the levels or not doesn't really matter. He just takes it easy.

But... why are all these NPCs acting so strangely?

2.

Level One: The Bizarre Tower

[Clear Condition: Deliver twenty desserts you made yourself]

Since the level takes place in an infinite-loop death game, none of the players dare eat the pastries made by Cyril, one of the Bizarre Tower's NPCs.

Just as he thinks he's finally going to fail the level, only a few days later the players' attitudes make a complete turnaround. They all come running to beg him for sweets.

“I heard that if you eat the pastry chef's desserts, the chainsaw killer won't chase you at night!”

“I ate the pastry chef's dessert yesterday, and that perverted collector actually gave me a clue for once!”

“Come on, hurry! The pastry chef said he only made twenty! First come, first served!!!”

Level Two: Academy of Espers

[Clear Condition: Catch one hundred rule violations]

The students at this academy worship violence. To maintain peace on campus, the discipline committee records rule-breakers and deducts points.

Skipping class: minus one point. Damaging school property: minus four points. Murder: minus eight points...

At ten points, the student council president personally gives the offender a lesson in the rules.

Cyril dutifully catches students breaking the rules. But he seems to catch too many and accidentally makes enemies of too many people at once.

The top student snatches the pen from his hand and smiles cruelly. “You want to deduct my points? Fine. Let's add another rule, then. I wonder how many points it costs to kidnap a discipline committee member?”

The student council president lifts his chin and hypnotizes him. “Good boy, you have to set a good example.”

Level Three: The Giant's Garden

[Clear Condition: Escape the botanical garden]

Pests are running rampant in the garden. The botanist parts the weeds, clearing out the little bugs that have sneaked inside.

Then he sees a player tied up in a spiderweb.

“Where did this butterfly come from?” The giant smiles and catches Cyril, placing him inside an elegant glass case. “What a wonderful specimen for research. You'll stay here.”

Line after line appears in the lab notebook:

Month x, day x: Caught a beautiful specimen.

Month x, day x: I couldn't find another butterfly like him in the research database. Is he a new species?

Month x, day x: Preparing to conduct a crossbreeding experiment.

Month x, day x: I was wrong. Those bugs aren't worthy of you. I'll find better specimens for you to breed with...

Level Four: …

3.

Kill me.

Don't talk to anyone else.

Don't leave me.

I love you. Will you die with me?

Cyril earnestly agrees to every request. He says, “Sure,” “Okay,” “Got it,” and “No problem.”

He has no idea how unwilling those people look after he casually agrees.

Everyone wants to be the one who warms a cold stone.

He doesn't understand. So they act without restraint, yet don't know what to do.

# The three levels in the blurb are listed out of order. They are the sixth, ninth, and fourth game levels.

# The protagonist has capybara energy and is emotionally very stable.

# Oblivious beauty bottom x various types of one-sided-love tops

!! The main text focuses on the plot!!

No picking a favorite love interest. The protagonist gets more scenes on his own, and the ending is an all-in route, not a competition for the love interests.

Theme: Even when facing hardship and challenges, believe in yourself and never give up.
