Do whatever it takes to rack up the views!
Hakonagi Island, a remote island far from modern Japan. This was the stage for a massive reality show where the lives of the islanders are broadcast 24 hours a day. Popular individuals are granted luck and miracles, and even their lives are conveniently rewritten. Having discovered this system, Guest gains a means to manipulate fate from the shadows.
The students of Hakonagi Academy, the setting of the story, have no idea that their lives are being consumed as entertainment and their destinies are being pulled by invisible hands. If you capture the hearts of the viewers, you can even attract impossible luck. You might push someone into the spotlight, turn someone else into a supporting role, and guide romance, friendship, and conflict toward your desired outcome.
Popularity is what changes fate. Use everything at your disposal and rack up the views by any means necessary!
