[Content warnings: The whole cast is written for a female audience, open ending, male lead leans toward Reinhard, loves the overpowered type, breaks up canon couples, includes yuri.

[Before you read (covering my bases):
■ This is written for a female audience, and you can self-insert.
I've always believed that anyone can put themselves into my stories. Even if the heroine has a name, you can still imagine yourself as her if you want to.
Ultimately, whether readers self-insert or not is personal, and I can't control that.
■ The heroine has a name and physical descriptions. Since this is a long novel expected to be at least 1.5 million words, it's hard to write without giving her a name or details.
■ By today's terminology, I'm a ship-and-self-insert-into-the-original-story combo writer. If that's not your thing, or if you have strong purity preferences, feel free to leave. Don't tell me what to do over a free story.]
Story blurb below
Recently, while on vacation, Xuan Fei started playing a romance game called [Re: Starting from Zero Again].
She took a liking to one of the romanceable characters, Reinhard, and began trying to win him over.
But after entering the game, she saw that the affection rating above his head was eternally stuck at 99, and slowly blinked.
Xuan Fei was baffled. Xuan Fei was stunned! She hadn't even turned on the conquest mode! This couldn't be right, could it?!
After pondering for a moment, Xuan Fei chose to stop thinking. It was fine, she could still play.
*
"Do you love this world more, Reinhard?"
After hearing the same answer again, she reached the bad ending once more. Xuan Fei looked at the ending on the screen, closed her console, crossed her hands beneath her chin, and fell into deep thought.
Damn it, she'd better keep playing so she wouldn't get bored. She could always try to win over someone else.
She opened the game again.
She would once again become a royal selection candidate, then choose a new guardian.
The gentle elf knight devoted his loyalty and love to Xuan Fei alone. If nothing unexpected happened, they should have reached a fairy-tale ending together.
But as everyone knows, the moment you say nothing unexpected will happen, something unexpected happens.
Time was reset, and the elf knight died in the new timeline.
Poisoned wine fell upon the roses. Through his gradually blurring vision, the knight saw his beloved rushing toward him.
"I love you..."
Congratulations on reaching [BE: Words of Love at the Brink of Death]
The cat knight wasn't good at fighting, but his gaze and healing never left her.
In the dim office, the cat knight knelt on one knee and looked up at the young woman before him, his gaze focused and reverent, as if she were his god.
"I may not know how to fight, but I still want to stay by your side and protect you."
The green-haired young woman beside the knight placed a hand on the hilt at her side. The exposed silver blade reflected her resolute expression.
"I will become the King's sword, and clear away every obstacle in your path!"
What a beautiful scene. But Xuan Fei's death shattered all its warmth.
The cat knight consequently fell into a deranged mental breakdown, while the green-haired young woman's blade grew lost and broke.
Congratulations on reaching [BE: A Tomorrow Beyond Hope]
After several bad endings, it felt as if an invisible hand were controlling everything behind the scenes.
Who was behind all this?
"I know I don't deserve you, but I won't let you go. I can't stand watching you by someone else's side!"
The male lead said this, using his power to return from death to deceive Xuan Fei, who was playing the game.
Xuan Fei was the person who treated him with the most tenderness, the one for whom he didn't have to pay any price.
Someone so good deserved to be by his side...
"Subaru, do you see me as an object, or are you pursuing me as a person?"
Xuan Fei looked at the young man beyond the cage. Even as helpless as a bird in a cage, her eyes remained gentle.
The young man's stunned silence told Xuan Fei all she needed to know. She gave him her usual gentle smile, but her words sent a sudden unease surging through his heart.
"Goodbye."
Congratulations on entering the outsider route and reaching [BE: Object or Sincere Love]
After completing the hidden route, all the plot threads finally came together: the time loops, the knight who was poisoned...
With her questions answered, Xuan Fei chose Reinhard's route again, still clinging to a glimmer of hope.
"Since I can't protect everyone, then protecting only you should be enough, right?"
This time, the red-haired knight's mind gradually began to break down, and the girl who appeared in his world became his last emotional support.
Congratulations on reaching [HE: A Flower Kept Safe in My Hands]
Her last lingering fixation resolved and all the romance routes completed, Xuan Fei felt tired for the first time in ages.
So this time, she wasn't going to date anyone! She was going to farm!
But it seemed this world had no intention of leaving her alone. Xuan Fei had been enjoying a leisurely life with her friends, but when she got up that morning, she saw all the characters with maxed-out affection gathered around the yard.
...?
You guys! Don't come any closer!

Infatuated Julius, please wait for one more life (Intrusion (To be honest, you really only need to wait for one life💦
Except for Rhine, everything else scores well. The infatuated sword master must wait for the rest of his life, hahaha Hmm, I feel like Rhine will really be relegated to the sidelines if he doesn't take the initiative this time. Look at how quickly and proactively other people improve their scores. Although it is because of Rhine's great love and sense of justice written by the boss that it is so delicious, I hate it and love it at the same time. In this case, Rhine should have a nervous breakdown and get enlightened. If the world is destroyed, there will still be 486 to fight, but if you chill your wife, you will have no wife. Yeah, I repeatedly commented on the deliciousness of the protagonist. It may be a bit biased to say this, but I feel that 486's emotional feedback is more than that of Rhine. When 486 died, Rhine was still protecting you, so you couldn't even commit suicide or die in love. It really doesn't work or I haven't thought about it (angry). It's like I've been looking for a balance between Felt and the protagonist to satisfy both parties, but neither party is satisfied. Why don't you ask for your opinion if you can't get over it? It feels like Felt has never thought about becoming the master. When will I get emotional intelligence protection? I feel like I will become wiser after I get emotional intelligence protection. Before that, I was very restrained. If I am a little too restrained, I can't tell whether it is true love. Damn it, let's just force our protagonist to have sex. I think this is delicious too. Your Rhein Tomato brother has been relegated to the cold palace. Come and score points. Jie Jie Jie, just let this tomato always be loved but not be able to get it (angry)
This man favored him as soon as he appeared on the scene, just like the royal empress arriving. Boss, why do you write so cruelly, and how cute you are about Rui Ji, how pure their love was before, how they both loved and hated Rhine 😭 😭 😭, why are you so unsatisfactory, why can't you give Rui Ji complete preference?
Madam, your article successfully drew me into the RE0 pit. My friends recommended it several times before and I couldn't stand it. This time I took the initiative to read 🐶🌹🐶🌹.
I also want to write a long review, but it's a pity that my poor brain can't seem to write any ink. It's so sad.
Why do you think all the male guests except Lain are so proactive? . . Rhine, what are you doing?
What?! Doesn't Ross have a place? 😣 Besides, Garfield picked him up so quickly! Do it so quickly! [Spread flowers]
I feel so relieved to see him in such pain...
Rui Ji will always fall in love with him even if he forgets that Rhine, but Rui Ji lost his name due to gluttony, but Rian only has a fluctuation in his heart [rolls eyes][rolls eyes]
Tied. The author is really good at writing about the emotional pull between characters. Because the plot and so on are all online, I didn't feel ugly or disgusted with the characters, and it even made me cry. Although the fourth natural disaster players are popular nowadays, I still think it is important for the protagonist to treat the character as a human being. Finally, I just want to see Reinhardt awakened by a strong awakening, stand firmly on the heroine's side, and respect Felt's own wishes.
