Bored, she decided to try an otome game recommended by a friend. It was supposedly highly interactive, and even if you didn't pursue the romance routes, you could still enjoy exploring a vast world.
[Enter your name.]
"Lan Lin."
[Would you like to import your real-world physical data?]
"Yes."
[Would you like to modify the characters' stats?]
"Yes."
After a few more steps, she finally entered the otome game.
Looking at the incredibly lifelike buildings before her, she fell silent. ...With graphics this detailed, is this really an otome game?
At first, she tried approaching the green-eyed bard with the affection meter floating above his head.
But she soon realized that hunting monsters in the wild was far more satisfying than searching for romance options in the city! And there were chests to loot, too!
Later, after reaching the level cap, wielding a golden weapon and covered in blessings from the gods, Lan Lin declared:
"My friend didn't lie. You don't have to pursue the romance routes in this game. Exploring the vast world is super fun, too!"
Her friend: ? It's an otome game, right?
Her friend: Wait, are you playing an otome game...?
Looking at the huge words "General Audience" in the game description, then at the screenshots Lan Lin sent of all the characters at maximum affection and their storylines, her friend fell silent.

★ The protagonist is the center of everything, and the entire plot revolves around her.
★ The protagonist is not Lumine/Aether. The Traveler Aether or Abyss Aether may appear.
★ The timeline will jump and change, and won't follow the Genshin Impact game's timeline.
★ Amateur writing and mindless plot. I'm not a lore buff, and a lot of it is made up.
★ There will be OOC moments! A mountain of headcanons! A bit of "Fourth Wall" and "breaking the fourth wall," as well as "characters throwing themselves at the protagonist," "everyone loves her," "love at first sight"...]
