Chapter 276 Just Like A Sims Dating Game
Hera had anticipated that the male leads would gradually show their support for her as their affection grew, so Dave’s offer of help didn’t catch her off guard.
Recognizing Dave’s cunning nature, Hera saw this as a test of her limits. Her response to him would reveal her true worth. Aware of Dave’s shrewd and calculating personality, made her recalled how he fell in love with Alice in the novel—a woman with high emotional intelligence, which she demonstrated notably during the drugging incident.
After being drugged and unintentionally sleeping with Alice, Dave felt a responsibility to make amends, especially since it was her first time. Initially, he didn’t feel much about the situation. However, Alice’s response revealed her character: she demonstrated strength, compassion, and kindness. Her actions showed Dave that she wasn’t someone who would exploit another person’s vulnerability. This display of integrity and empathy deeply moved Dave and changed his perception of Alice.
Because of this, he recognized Alice’s good character and high emotional intelligence, which intrigued him. However, it wasn’t enough to prompt him to pursue her romantically. Instead, he viewed her actions as a favor and chose to support her using his political influence and power.
So, following this outline, Hera looked up at Dave and smiled faintly before shaking her head. Her response only heightened Dave’s curiosity. It wasn’t that he doubted Hera’s capabilities, but he genuinely wanted to know if she had a plan to handle the situation. If not, he was prepared to step in and assist in resolving the issue.
And Hera knew too well that was what Dave thought because that’s how he helped Alice in the novel, although she helped Dave in a different way, the outcome was still the same. So Hera surmised that the storyline operated similarly to a simulation dating game, where the female lead would be provided with various paths and each path would lead to different outcomes but there was still some intersection where some outcome would be the same just so the story would continue to the next important scenes for the male and female lead to create their connection.
Some interactions can lead to favor, but negative ones may result in disapproval and a decrease in interest. If this happens, the female lead may find herself in a challenging position, making it difficult to progress in the game. Towards the end, she may struggle to meet the interest requirements for certain male leads to become her lover or enter into a specific relationship with her.
She also needs to consider that in a Sims dating game, each love interest has their own preferences. When the female lead correctly identifies and approaches these preferences, their interest increases, allowing for greater tolerance of mistakes or presenting better options.
This is how she sees it and comparing how the storyline works with a dating sim seems more appropriate. However, the sequence is scattered as she attempts to alter her fate, potentially changing the destinies of others along with hers. Consequently, she anticipates a different sequence, but having this guide will undoubtedly aid her in navigating forward.
