Synopsis

[Playing The Sims on the Grand Line]: Me, a Sabaody Archipelago waitress, tearing up the simulator

[Dokidoki~ Grand Line Dating Sim]: After transmigrating to a terrifying, closed-off other world, I shut myself away. Then I get a simulator and, from the start, set out to win over Luffy!

*

[Codename: Grand Line] is an unreleased open-world game in testing, combining exploration, city-building, cooking, and monster-slaying.

Prelle is an utterly ordinary player selected to participate in the test.

As a player, of course she has to act like one!

Fight monsters!

Level up!

Experience the open world!

She lands in the newbie village and, from the start, gets a quest to retrieve stolen treasure from a blond boy wearing a top hat and carrying a modified pipe.

He’s one of the “bullies” at the junkyard. While he hasn’t noticed her yet

[There’s no honorable way to win. Sneak attack!]

[A sneak attack is a dishonorable victory. Attack head-on.]

[Abandon the quest and leave.]

Of course she chooses the sneak attack!

The sneak attack fails. Prelle stares at the unfriendly boy, whose level is 22, then at her own pitiful level 2, and falls into thought.

Isn’t she a player?

Isn’t this a newbie village?

Are all the NPCs in this game that strong?

Much later, Prelle finally figures out how to play the game.

[Player is in the Navy faction and has defeated more than 10,000 pirates. Earned title: “Pirate Buster.”]

[Player is in the pirate faction and has defeated more than 10,000 Marines. Earned title: “Marine Buster.”]

[Player has three or more bloodlines. Earned title: “Mixed-Blood.”]

[Player has joined and left factions three times. Earned title: “Outsider.”]

[...]

Out on the sea, whenever someone mentions that person, someone is bound to shudder and exclaim, “Unpredictable, mercurial, inscrutable, cold-eyed, impossible to read, terrifyingly imposing, fearsome indeed!”

When Prelle learns what people think of her, a question mark slowly appears above her head: ?

Tips before reading

1. ASL! Though there probably won’t be much romance later on.

2. The female lead is obsessed with raising her stats. Later, she may join all kinds of factions and pirate crews.

3. Lots of monster-fighting and leveling up, emphasis on lots! I also love writing protagonists who are incredible fighters. By the end, she’ll be at the top of the power scale.

4. Lore purists, beware. There may be some discussion of power levels, and I’ll do my best to get it right.

5. For the sake of the plot, there will be plenty of major changes and original worldbuilding.

Theme: What kind of life do you want to live?

Books Finished by a Omnivorous Reader with a Very High Drop Rate

A bit of everything, mostly derivative BL. Keeping a record of what I've finished. I don't have any specific hard limits; anything that bothers me gets dropped, so there won't be any particularly low-rated novels here. I don't read morally chaotic stuff. Ongoing.

One Piece Fanfiction

I only read stories from the female lead's perspective. I enjoy strong or weak female leads, otome stories, Mary Sue stories, universally adored heroines, and career-focused stories. I'm always trying to dig up hidden gems. I usually don't comment on whether something is out of character.

Derivative Fanfiction: A Bit of Everything, Part 1

A mix of anime, Western superhero, and wuxia crossovers. These are the ones I found interesting enough to reread. I have a goldfish memory and forget the plots. There may be OOC. I prefer stories centered on the protagonist with a light tone. I’m bad at chatting.
