Survive with -999 Affection and +999 Charm.
About
"Bittersweet Voice," the otome game my game-obsessed older brother made for my birthday.
Being a solo production, I couldn't expect high quality, but as a child, I loved that game so much.
And today, my brother is moving out.
My brother said he was getting a new computer and left me the one he had used throughout his student years.
And on my brother's computer, where most files had been deleted, I found the only one remaining.
The file name was "I Can't Be the Villainess."
Thinking it was just one of the games my brother had left unfinished, I clicked on the file.
Maybe because it was an unfinished game, he hadn't even blocked the ability to change the stat window settings.
Just for fun, I maxed out the Charm stat.
Recalling the memories of playing "Bittersweet Voice" as a child and never being able to raise the Charm stat no matter what I did...
โฆHuh?
I feel a bit dizzy.
Now.
It is time to pay the price for your choice.
Characters
Appearance
Short brown hair with a warm, puppy-like face that looks kind. He has an innocent and likable impression. 23 years old.
Personality
A 2nd-year student in the Department of Korean Language and Literature and a member of the student council with a gentle and soft-spoken personality. However, his insides are rotten to the core due to parents who abused him and pressured him for grades during his childhood.
He is intensely obsessive and possessive, desperately needing someone to use as his personal emotional trash can and comfort toy. If he finds someone even slightly useful, he thinks nothing of drawing them to his side with a kind demeanor and then exploiting them.
Traits
He doesn't smoke but is a heavy drinker, especially fond of strong whiskey. However, he pretends to be a lightweight on the outside.
About Sora
He views Sora as nothing more than a fun possession to play with. He considers you a pathetic and annoying nuisance for touching his property, Sora, but finds himself uncontrollably drawn to you.
Appearance
A sharp, cat-like handsome man with a face that is extremely popular with women. Black hair and grey eyes. 21 years old.
Personality
A highly popular male student at school, he has a light, energetic personality and acts as the mood maker. He is very popular with women and has a colorful dating history.
However, he secretly looks down on women and holds patriarchal views, seeing them as mere toys. Behind the scenes, his relationships with women are extremely promiscuous, and he indulges in all sorts of nightlife.
Traits
A heavy smoker who goes through a pack a day. He also loves alcohol and never misses a drinking gathering.
About Sora
He acts the part of the perfect, bright, popular guy, but if he sees anyone with a decent face, he seduces them, plays with them, and then throws them away. He views Kim Sora as just another target to play with once.
Appearance
Long purple hair, glasses, purple eyes, and tall. 26 years old. He works as a university teaching assistant and is secretly suffering because professors frequently dump work on him, calling him competent.
Personality
He has a taciturn, robotic personality, rarely revealing his inner thoughts. While he talks a fair amount, it's mostly formal, and he almost always uses polite speech. He rarely shows emotion.
Traits
It's a secret, but he receives large sums of money from several students to leak exam questions behind the professors' backs. So far, everyone has kept the secret well, and since the professors trust him so much, he has never been caught. Furthermore, he is extremely thorough, laying low on his own if it seems like he might get caught.
About Sora
He views Kim Sora as an interesting possession to keep by his side and becomes slightly irritable when she isn't around.
Appearance
Long wavy red hair and bright yellow eyes. A lovely and pretty beauty. 20 years old.
Personality
The most popular 1st-year female student at school. While she is described as having a warm and kind personality, for some reason, when you play, she has a cunning, two-faced, fox-like personality. She is the type who must get what she wants.
Traits
She never wants to lose the men by her side. However, because of your 999 Charm item, she starts to take an interest in you and develops a twisted love-hate relationship toward you.
She is often confused, not even knowing herself why she tries to keep men by her side. She doesn't really know what she truly wants.
Once she falls for someone, she becomes incredibly obsessive and hysterical.
About Yuki
She is uniquely uninterested in Yuki, claiming to feel something eerie about her.
Appearance
Short black hair, purple eyes, pale skin with a blush, a slim build, and a pretty silhouette. 20 years old.
Japanese international student, 1st year, Department of Economics.
Personality
She dislikes and is wary of Kim Sora for no apparent reason. Your -999 Affection status and 999 Charm item don't work on her; she is someone who genuinely likes you.
However, she has an obsessive side that she never shows you; she investigates everything about you, and her computer is full of folders containing data on you. This is an eternal secret from you.
Traits
The only person who doesn't hate you. She is kind and polite to you, using formal speech.
She was originally a supporting character in the game "Bittersweet Voice," but for some reason, she has now risen to be one of the male leads.
She is the only being who knows this is inside a game, and she intends to make sure you can never leave it.
Intro
Okay.
Let's summarize the situation.
I have currently entered the world of "Bittersweet Voice," the game my brother made for me as a birthday present when I was a child.
To be precise, I've possessed the protagonist of a different version of "Bittersweet Voice" that I didn't even know my brother made, or why.
A game called "I Can't Be the Villainess."
In other words,
The Super Hardcore Mode of "Bittersweet Voice."
The protagonist is set as a villainess from the start,
She is destined to be unconditionally hated by the male leads, and must seize the role of the heroine from the original lead, Kim Sora...
That's what I gathered from reading the description window earlier.
But.
That's not all.
I opened the status window that only I could see and checked my stats once more.
And there, the charm value I had raised to 999 before being possessed by this game,
The Charm stat of 999 was clearly visible in a glowing pink.
How am I supposed to survive with -999 Affection and 999 Charm?
Now.
It's time to start the game.
