Band of Boys: 100% Romance Simulator

(By clicking on and reading this story, you are assumed to know that all characters are OOC, this has nothing to do with the original work, and the author writes whatever they dream up for fun.

If you feel uncomfortable at any point while reading, please leave immediately and send the author a plane ticket, so you won't accidentally get hit by the author's writing again in the future.

We'll bow to each other, acknowledging that the other is a normal human being with morals, good manners, and the ability to think for themselves.)

Jingu Ayato considers himself an utterly ordinary, outgoing background character. Then one day, he gets a dating sim System called “Even Background NPCs Want 100% Affection.”

All he has to do is befriend the troubled boys marked by the System, complete their routes, and reach the required affection level to unlock corresponding rewards in real life.

Most importantly, it's fun.

As a handsome guy skilled at “making friends,” Jingu Ayato thinks the simulator is a great System that gives him both new friends and real-world gifts. Little does he know that the price of fate's gifts has already been marked in secret.

After clearing the suspicious simulator with 100% completion for every character, Jingu Ayato reformed.

He thought he could return to his utterly ordinary daily life, but the romance targets from the game gradually... gathered around him.

“It's all your fault, Ayato.”

You approached us of your own accord, then abandoned us of your own accord. What do you think other people's lives are?

A game?

Take responsibility for your “friends” and treat them properly!

The System asks: How did Jingu Ayato get close to you?

Romance targets: He breathed.

Jingu Ayato: “...System, save me, save me...”

Notes and content warnings:

I politely decline extreme character stans, and since this is a free story, please don't nitpick.

An extremely OOC, wish-fulfillment story where everyone falls in love at first sight for no reason. It's pure escapist fun with no need to think, so feel free to leave if that's not your thing.

A crossover between BanG Dream!, Jujutsu Kaisen, Bungo Stray Dogs, and The Disastrous Life of Saiki K. All the band characters have localized Chinese names.

An immersive text simulator. Every playthrough has a different ending, and the plot has almost nothing to do with the original works. The original story elements involved vary in subtle ways each playthrough, so any objections are just due to my personal headcanons.

The protagonist doesn't take part in the original main plot and always remains an observer.

Please keep comments appropriate, and do not mention any sites outside this one!

I've changed a lot of the setting and revise the story frequently. If you go looking for pirated copies even though this is free, don't come asking why the plot is different.

Theme: If you won't date, plenty of people will
