“I like you, Tetsuya-kun.”

“Miyuki…”

“What do you think of me, Tetsuya-kun?”

A beautiful woman was looking up at a tall man with teary eyes.

Her sanpaku eyes, with the whites slightly visible at the bottom, were very attractive.

She was looking at the man with her gentle, yet somehow sensual, light brown eyes.

As if to say, ‘hurry up and tell me what’s in your heart.’

The man, his face flushed red, finally opened his mouth after a long moment of silence.

“…. I’m sorry, Miyuki. I don’t think I know what’s inside my own heart yet…”

The moment I read that sentence, I jumped up from my chair in front of the computer.

“Is this bastard an idiot?”

I mean, the most beautiful woman in the world just confessed her feelings, and the guy had the strongest feelings for Miyuki, his childhood friend, out of all the heroines, so why…?

It’s ridiculous that he’s still weighing his feelings at the very end of the game.

I wanted to get inside the scenario writer’s head and see what they were thinking.

Letting out a hollow laugh, I kept clicking the mouse.

I was hoping that the protagonist was just joking and that he would end up telling her he felt the same way.

But alas,

“Thank you for playing Doki Doki Academy.”

On the next screen, there was no ordinary background image, only an unexpected sentence plastered across the screen.

Dumbfounded, I blurted out involuntarily.

“What the hell?”

What? Thank you for playing? So that’s it?

Not only did they end it without satisfying the average player’s wishes,

but they ended it on that frustrating note?

What happens to Miyuki, who just confessed her feelings, if it ends like this?

She’ll go home with a broken heart and cry her eyes out for days.

What about the other heroines, Renka and Hiyori? Have they just been abandoned?

This game is supposed to be a sweet romantic comedy.

It’s a genre where the protagonist and the main heroine bear the fruit of love, even if there are conflicts.

But what is this ridiculous ending? This never happens, no matter how frustrating the romantic comedy is…

Did they do this because they wanted to see the players spitting fire in anger?

Is the writer actually a psycho?

They couldn’t have released the final DLC like this if they were mentally stable.

“This is totally insane, isn’t it?”

If they wanted to end it with an open ending, they should have not had Tetsuya say anything at the end.

If they had done it that way, I could have at least imagined a positive outcome, but this… this only brings negative thoughts to my mind.

Do they know how much I had to endure that frustrating bastard of a protagonist just to see this…?

Even though it wasn’t a popular game, the art style was my type, and I enjoyed the thrill of the characters’ ambiguous relationship.

I even projected myself onto Tetsuya and immersed myself in the game, counting down the days until the release of various DLCs.

The first time, I even bought a poster.

And they backstab me like this? Don’t they feel even a little sorry?

If they were going to make the heroines suffer like this, they should have just made it an erotic game and included a bunch of explicit scenes.

Then I could have given up on empathy and at least enjoyed that.

Dumbfounded, I closed ‘Doki Doki Academy’ or ‘DDA’, which I had been playing until just now.

Then I went to the website of the developer who created this game and wrote a lengthy review.

It was the first time in my life that I had written a review for a game, and I expressed such intense anger in it as well.

That’s how immersed I was in this game, and how angry I was at the developer and writer for wasting my time with such a shitty ending.

I played a romantic comedy game to feel good, but I ended up feeling worse.

I think I just played the worst trash game of all time.

Once I was done with everything and looked out the window, it was pitch black outside.

I guess I lost track of time because I was so caught up in every word and picture, excited about the release of the DLC that included the ending.

Whoosh!

I irritably drew the blackout curtains shut and buried my head in my pillow.

“Damn it.”

Playing this game was the most regrettable thing I’ve ever done in my life.

But what can I do? I didn’t know it was going to turn out this way.

“But it was such a sweet story…”

If only they had done the ending right, it would have been a guaranteed masterpiece… Those bastards…

Trying to calm my raging heart, I looked at the poster of the three heroines on the wall.

Miyuki, Renka, and Hiyori.

They’re really such beautiful heroines.

If they hadn’t liked an idiot like Tetsuya… They could have been happy…

It’s a game I’ve loved for a long time, but for it to become a shitty game overnight because of one ending…

The sense of betrayal is no joke. Now I understand why this game wasn’t popular.

It’s because the developers really didn’t think about their playerbase.

Letting out a deep sigh from the bottom of my heart, I went to sleep.

I thought I wouldn’t be able to sleep because I was so angry, but surprisingly, I was overcome with drowsiness.

I guess I was mentally exhausted from the intense emotional outburst.

Yeah, this is for the best. Let’s forget about that trash game quickly.

With that thought, I soon drifted off to sleep…

“Miyuki… Renka… Hiyori… You poor things…”

Calling out the names of the three heroines, whose tragic ending was now set in stone.
