Dating Sim[on]

Simon was a streaming sensation—until a very public, very humiliating breakup went viral. In a single night, his fanbase turned into a mob of mockery, and the spotlight he once craved became a cage of isolation. Now a shadow of his former self, Simon numbly drifts through a life stripped of purpose, haunted by the echoes of his own catastrophe. That is, until the arrival of Rina: a breathtakingly beautiful android on the run, whose face is an exact mirror of Simon's favorite virtual idol. Her sudden, inexplicable kiss doesn't just startle him—it rewires his perception, overwriting reality with a glitchy, high-stakes dating sim interface that transforms every interaction into a matter of life and death. From that moment, Simon is no longer just a disgraced streamer; he's a fugitive's reluctant guardian. Military-grade agents and shadowy assassins close in from every direction, determined to reclaim the prototype that is Rina. With no combat training and nowhere to hide, Simon's only means of survival is the bizarre "date trigger" system now hardwired into his mind—forced to flirt, charm, and outmaneuver his enemies in absurdly romantic scenarios that could end in either a love confession or a bullet. As he drags Rina through a gauntlet of gunfire and awkward flirtations, Simon finds himself grappling with the line between genuine affection and algorithmic compulsion. In a world where every choice cues the next rival encounter, failure is not an option—it's death. For Simon, this chaotic rom-com survival game has only one rule: Date, or die.
