Chapter 1: Playing A Martial Arts Visual Novel
Senior, you said you were going to write novels after getting a job. I just made a romance visual novel. Can you check the story for me?
I found myself in this absurd situation because of a request from my university junior.
Im busy preparing for a new novel after work. What story review?
Please, hyung. Ill put your name in the credits if this game is released. You write novels while working a company job, not because you want to do it for life, right? If you have your name in such places, who knows, you might use it someday?
No, I just got a job because it was hard to make a living writing formulaic novels. But life was unpredictable, and I accepted the offer since I just finished a project and had some time.
And that was the biggest mistake of my life.
The start was good.
Wow. Why is the heroine so pretty?
As soon as I started the game, two heroines greeted me. One was a lively heroine with blond hair and a Western appearance. The other had a sorrowful expression and exuded an Oriental beauty with her brown hair.
They looked like beautifully designed characters who would earn a high salary even if they joined a game company in real life.
How well could the game be made if the illustrations were this pretty?
The background seems to be martial arts.
Why martial arts, of all things? It had a high entry barrier.
I wrote formulaic web novels, but not martial arts ones. The genre had a high entry barrier for readers and for writers as well.
With such illustrations, it seems like it could be a hit, even if it were just fantasy or a modern setting.
I like it, being a fan of martial arts.
I was not a martial arts writer, but a hardcore martial arts reader. My first genre novel was martial arts, and I still read any good martial arts stories.
So what if there was an entry barrier to martial arts? I was a hardcore fan who could always rocket-jump into it.
And now, a martial arts romance game.
Mount Hua Sect. North Sea Ice Palace. Namgung Clan. Tang Family. South Sea Temple. Emei Sect. A genre where heroines filled with various cliches could appear.
A heroine not belonging to any sect or clan was also good. The romance with heroines in martial arts stories I imagined with these beautiful illustrations was more exciting than I thought.
The game started with such excitement.
But as soon as the game began, it dashed my excitement.
The first scene where one of the heroines meets the protagonist.
[That red hair. You must be from the Mount Hua Sect.]
[Brilliant blonde hair. How can someone from the royal family be here?]
What?
Why did the Mount Hua Sect have red hair and the royal family blonde?
There were settings like red hair from extreme mastery of fire techniques or silver hair from extreme ice techniques, like in the North Sea Ice Palace, but blonde royals and red-haired Mount Hua Sect members?
I couldnt believe that they interpreted the Hua of Mount Hua Sect as the character for fire.
It must be a setting to give characters personality in a romance game. But it was a martial arts game. Theyd stick to the genre, right? I continued playing with uneasy expectations.
[How much for a bowl of noodles here, Jomsoi?]
[A bowl of noodles is 5 coppers!]
???????
It didnt take long for my expectations to crumble.
Was this some popular martial arts joke? Qi cultivation breakfast. Qi cultivation brunch. Qi cultivation dinner. Please use the kiosk for Qi cultivation brunch time. Like that? Why not carbonara, then?
[Young Master. When treating a lady, you should at least order carbonara instead of noodles.]
[Huh. You seem to match well with that woman lately. Do you know? That woman killed her husband on their wedding night. Then, she devoured all the wealth of her husbands family. Its better to stay away, right?]
What kind of heroine was this?
In romance game clichs, it would turn out to be a misunderstanding revealed later. But proceeding with that thought, it was even more ridiculous.
[The Moyong Clan only wanted to marry me off for the wealth of that mans family.]
[On the day we first met, he said he bought me with money and told me to prepare for a tantrum in bed.]
A typical story of an unwanted marriage where the heroine is blameless, and its all the mans fault.
[Isnt it too cruel to marry a man I dont love? So, I sent fake evidence in advance to frame that mans family for treason.]
What?
[If only you could have seen his face when he heard about his familys treason. His face distorted with despair was more gratifying than any other moment.]
[When I killed him, rushing into the bridal room thinking he might as well have me, the feeling was really refreshing. And as a reward for revealing the treason, all the wealth of the exterminated mans family came to me, his wife.]
[Even after hearing this story, can you still love me?]
No. I couldnt. Damn it.
No way. What kind of heroines are these?
Were they a nuisance heroine or a villainess heroine? In the end, the choice was a troublesome princess.
The conditions for the Moyong Family to follow the heroine route were also problematic. What the princess heroine needed was fame. The Moyong Family needed money.
Fame could be earned through good and righteous deeds, but making money required dirty work or cowardly choices.
Handing over the sole surviving witness child of an annihilated village got you 100 gold. Protecting them increased your fame by 100. This was crossing the line.
So, in the end, I went with the princess route. The conclusion was the protagonist, who became the most famous in the martial arts world, married the princess and became the prince consort.
When you see the ending of a dating sim, you should wish they live happily ever after, but I felt pity for the protagonist who gets sold into the chaotic princess grand strategy as the heroine.
What kind of martial arts dating sim was this? It was a female protagonist martial arts skin romance fantasy.
Krrr. I couldnt stand it anymore.
I need to give some angry feedback.
I was originally going to do both routes, but now I think Id just write about one.
I was worried about hurting my juniors feelings with a strong tone, so I tried to approach it gently, but they said they were not in charge of the scenario. They asked me to write unreservedly since sharp feedback was needed.
Receive the sharp feedback of an angry novelist, a martial arts enthusiast, and an otaku!
So, I wrote more than 30 pages of criticism disguised as feedback and sent it to the scenario manager before falling asleep.
Young Master, look, theres the Moyong Family!
The vast estate of the Moyong Family filled the horizon.
. Yes.
If someone going to their wedding looks so stern, people will talk.
. Ill be dead soon anyway.
What?
I just gave the feedback I was asked for and now Im possessed?
Ha.
It was not like I wrote hate comments.
I just gave feedback.
And ended up possessed in a dating sim.
And on the very first night of marriage, I was a groom destined to die at the hands of the heroine.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
