An Artist Star from Scratch! [Spring Volume]

[The full story is now complete and free to read! The Summer Volume is also updating next door.]

“Keep It Up! Art Star!” is a popular character-raising game. As the protagonist, the player starts out as an utterly ordinary nobody and works their way to the top, ultimately earning the highest achievement, “Art Star.”

Yuan Ling is an ordinary high school student. One rainy day, she slipped while heading out to shop and fell right into the game world.

In this world, magic is born from art, and its dazzling light can give people hope and anticipation for a better life.

Yuan Ling must earn the highest achievement, “Art Star,” to return to her own world.

Yuan Ling looked at the problems she now had to face:

One: A granny eyeing her cardboard box hungrily.

Two: An orphanage on the verge of bankruptcy.

Three: Herself, with absolutely no artistic experience.

System: It’s okay! I believe that if Host keeps building up her stats nonstop, twenty-four hours a day, and loops through multiple playthroughs, she’ll definitely reach her goal!

Yuan Ling: I absolutely refuse to do that!

At last, Yuan Ling enrolled at Star Forest School of Magical Arts. To avoid starting a new loop, she set out on a one-of-a-kind artistic journey.

She performed in sign language during the dazzling audition and joked around with a judge in a wheelchair.

She publicly confessed to a certain young lady, leaving her at a loss for words.

She forced herself to cling to an introverted student council member, successfully cornering her.

She stole her junior schoolmate’s bed, keeping him awake night after night.

And there were countless other stunts like these...

Yuan Ling: Hehe! Art Star is mine!

The story unfolds at a relaxed pace.

It borrows some elements from a related anime, but the plot and characters are all original, including some original worldbuilding.

The heroine is a sunny, upbeat type. She complains now and then, but she really is a positive, good-hearted girl! The System doesn’t get much screen time. The blurb accounts for about eighty or ninety percent of its scenes.

There will be original descriptions of singing and dancing.

An all-route otome story. The romantic interest is one-sided in every case. Since only one volume has been written, many later romance arcs are unfinished.

Theme: Never give up on a better life.
