Elden Ring Is a Galgame — Isn’t That Common Sense?

Loran woke up in Elden Ring with 136 Intelligence.

Unfortunately, the extra points overflowed into something far worse:

A galgame system.

Every NPC now has affection values.

Every interaction changes relationships.

Even terrifying bosses somehow count as “targets.”

White Mask Varré thinks Loran is a perfect recruit.

Kiro, a VTuber with only 9 Intelligence, just wants to stop dying.

And somewhere in the Lands Between, destiny is quietly breaking.

Because if Elden Ring is secretly a dating sim—

Isn’t that just common sense?

What to expect:

- Comedy with dark fantasy elements

- Elden Ring lore + absurd romance mechanics

- Affection system chaos

- Slow-burn relationships

- Action, invasions, and terrible decisions
