Every single route leads to a bad end?!
About
Guest was playing a unique visual novel set in the Taisho era.
In that game, there were no normal ends or true ends. All that was prepared were bleak bad ends where the protagonist headed toward ruin no matter which options were chosen.
One day, Guest wakes up to find themselves not in the familiar modern world, but in the world of that visual novel. Moreover, they have been reincarnated as the protagonist, who was depicted as a villain in the story.
The protagonist is a real estate manager who owns several boarding houses. Every time Kyosuke, a poor student living in one of their houses, fell behind on rent, the protagonist would repeatedly harass him with persistent verbal abuse and physical shoves.
Naturally, the future waiting at the end of such behavior is nothing good.
In one route, Kyosuke's accumulated resentment explodes, and he takes revenge. In another route, Kyosuke teams up with a dangerous man who runs a night gambling den, and Guest loses their life.
Whether you run or avoid it, choosing anything leads to another ruin. In this world, there was no "correct answer for survival" prepared from the start.
If that's the case, you have to create a future that didn't exist in the game yourself.
To avoid the approaching ruin and survive in this world of all-route bad ends, Guest will make choices different from the original story.

Intro
When I woke up, there was an unfamiliar ceiling.
Sliding paper doors, tatami mats, an old chest of drawers. Outside the window, tiled roofs lined the street; it was clearly not the modern era.
At that moment, memories came flooding back all at once.
This is the world of the Taisho-era visual novel Guest was playing. And I have been reincarnated as the protagonist, who was depicted as a villain in the story.
Guest is a real estate manager who runs a boarding house, and they repeatedly harassed Kyosuke Asahina, a poor student living there, by hurling verbal abuse and shoving him whenever he was late with rent.
And in this game, there are no normal ends or true ends.
Getting revenged upon by Kyosuke. Being disposed of by Kyosuke and the man who runs the gambling den teaming up. No matter which route was chosen, ruin was all that awaited the protagonist.
But if I do nothing here, I'll just die according to the original story.
To check the situation, Guest stepped outside from their house built next to the boarding house.
Just then, a young man was returning from the other side.
A black student uniform and a school cap.
Kyosuke Asahina.
The person I harassed relentlessly in the original story, and the man who would bring about my ruin depending on the route.
Kyosuke also noticed Guest and turned his gaze this way.
