When burnt-out office worker Cassie overworks herself straight into another
world, she expects the usual isekai package: gorgeous nobles, dramatic
ballroom politics, maybe even a swoony romance route to fix her trash life.
Instead, a mysterious system boots up in her vision, one that tracks "Affinity
Scores," hands out quests, and helpfully reminds her that her entire reality is
stitched together by tropes.
At first, it's fun. Easy quests. Pretty outfits. Flirty eye contact. Cassie finally
feels... chosen.
But the system isn't stable.
Routes flicker. NPCs hesitate. A "Questline Not Found" error pops over
someone's head. And when Cassie accidentally pushes past her expected
script, the world glitches, revealing pieces of something bigger, older, and
very aware that she's here.
To survive, Cassie must outsmart destiny, navigate dangerously handsome
love interests, and resist becoming the perfect protagonist everyone expects.
But every choice she makes corrupts the code a little more... and the system is
starting to notice.
Welcome to your happily ever after. Please ignore the 404 errors.
