Picture this scenario.There is this currently ongoing live-service gacha game, with loved and favoured heroines who are the stars of the game.Now enter male side character number 1. He subtly makes his way into the main plot and attempts to help these heroines. But he is viewed as unlikable and labeled a stalker with his overly friendly and drastic actions towards them by many players and even in-game characters, diminishing the game's reputation.Now, the novel's protagonist/main character, a long-time player of the game, can't help but vent his frustrations on this character and how his appearance has messed up the state of the game. Imagine the shock he has when he becomes this very character.That is the very premise of this novel, in which the protagonist has to figure out why this character was viewed the way he was and adapt to his newfound identity while figuring out the identity of someone who has framed him. A mystery in a fantasy game.The MC's motivations are understandable, and the interactions between him and the "heroines" are interesting, as their personalities are more complex than what is shown on the surface.I recommend this to anyone looking for a quick but engaging and entertaining story and relatively likeable characters.
