[An acquired taste. Please read with caution.]
Cen Jiu receives a spot in a confidential beta test for a game, but she's left to explore the content on her own.
When the game begins, she finds herself aboard a ship headed for a new continent.
Just when she thinks it's a fun vacation simulator, a sea monster raises its tentacle toward her.
Just when she thinks it's a life-skill simulator, an NPC blushes and brings her flowers.
Just when she thinks it's an otome romance game, she becomes a legendary adventurer on this continent.
…So what game is she actually playing?!
#Thanks for asking, exploring the game is so much fun, and the life-skill checks feel so realistic. You could call it a second life in another world :)
[You have unlocked a new achievement: Greedy Adventurer]
But as she keeps playing, some of the NPCs start acting a little strange…
Cen Jiu: You have a clue for an achievement quest, so I'll just start the quest chain and make my way to the top of the game.
NPC: She's so enthusiastic with me. Does she like me?
Cen Jiu: I made this while practicing my skills. I have extra scraps, so you can have them.
NPC: She gives me food every day. Is she into me?
Cen Jiu: This NPC is acting weird. I need to observe them carefully.
NPC: She treats me differently. Could it be that she's fallen head over heels for me?
Cen Jiu (denying it three times): No, no, no. I haven't. It's not me. I never said that.
But even after she turns them down again and again, these NPCs keep trying to cling to her, one after another. What is she supposed to do?!
※ Fundamentally a lighthearted power fantasy. The protagonist has an absurdly overpowered cheat, and everything serves her having fun with the game and its men along the way.
※ Set in an imagined future. The full-dive game features a low-magic Western fantasy world.
※ The protagonist treats the game's NPCs as NPCs from beginning to end. She's a morally ambiguous fun-seeker pretending to be good.
※ Not a fourth disaster story. The protagonist gets a little emotionally invested in the game, but not much.
※ The men all fall for the protagonist and remain chaste. There are many love interests, with some harem-style rivalry.
Theme: Life is like a play, so enjoy the game.
Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!!!
