Description
*”Welcome to the world of Personality Plunder. You possess three initial personality cards. You can use any means to plunder personality cards. Black cards represent ‘high-risk personalities.’ Proceed with caution. You must…”* Shi Qian stared at the three pitch-black high-risk personality cards in her hand, deep in thought. Game system, are you serious? Even though I filled out the questionnaire with things like ‘My right hand seals an evil power,’ ‘Black wings of rage are my arms,’ and ‘I’m so tired of saving the world, let it perish,’ I’m just a simple chuunibyou (teenage delusional) case, okay?! System: Your complaint has been noted. As a gift, here’s the black personality [Arrogant Dreamer] . Excessive humility is the ultimate arrogance. Shi Qian: “…???” Fine, then I’ll become— System: Become? Shi Qian: A regular convenience store owner who, despite possessing superpowers and evil personalities, sets alarms to grab discounted eggs and pinches every penny! System: “…???” ——【Personality No. 001: Physical Sleep Specialist】 On a rainy night, a creature followed a girl in red through the alley and slipped indoors. Its black-gray tongue l**ked its lips, the temptation of fresh blood driving it to kill— Suddenly, bright white lights flickered on. “Hello there?” The black-haired girl in red sat at the dining table, tilting her head slightly. She smiled, narrowing her eyes, the clinking of her knife and fork piercing the air. “Do you prefer steamed or braised?” The creature, which had always disdained learning human speech: “…Help!” ——【Personality No. 066: Necromancer】 Tu Ge, the top streamer of Personality Plunder, controlled a black personality as he moved through dungeons, cutting down NPCs indiscriminately and sending them to heaven. Only a barefoot girl remained in the slaughterhouse. Holding a stuffed toy, frail and pale, she slowly raised her arm… The dead NPCs rose, bones buried in the earth came back to life, ignoring all physical attacks as they swarmed toward the streamer Tu Ge. The chat exploded as Tu Ge’s personality card was stripped away: “No… she’s not an NPC! She’s a player!!” ——【Personality No. ??: ???】 True form unknown. Do not look. Do not listen. Months later. Watching the new world Shi Qian had created through her chaotic roleplay—where evil gods and true gods coexisted, and the bizarre blended with the divine—the system quipped sarcastically: “Just a~ simple~ chuunibyou~” Shi Qian: “? I really am, though.” What else could I do when all I got were high-risk personalities? If you can’t beat them, join them.

My Thoughts on Rules for Role-Playing High-Risk Personas
"Rules for Role-Playing High-Risk Personas" is a wild ride, a novel that throws you headfirst into a world of amnesia, ability stealing, and personas with potentially godlike powers. It's definitely a story that demands your attention, and while it has its quirks, I found myself ultimately captivated by its unique premise and intriguing protagonist.
First Impressions
The beginning is undeniably disorienting. I was initially confused, struggling to grasp the world's rules and the protagonist's situation. The narrative jumps around, and the sheer amount of information thrown at you can be overwhelming. However, sticking with it proved worthwhile, as the initial confusion slowly gives way to a compelling mystery. The amnesiac MC's perspective is key here; we're piecing together the world alongside her, which adds to the intrigue.
What Works Well
The protagonist is a major draw. She's cunning, clever, and possesses a certain amoral charm that makes her incredibly engaging. I loved her bizarre thought processes and how unpredictable her actions could be. The "game elements" are well-integrated, and the constant creation of new personas keeps the story fresh for a good while. The overarching mystery surrounding the MC's past and the nature of the world is also incredibly well done, with each arc revealing more about the complex reality she inhabits. Philosophical undertones add a depth that elevates the novel beyond simple entertainment. The story explores interesting questions about control, divinity, and human nature.
Areas of Concern
While the constant stream of new personas is initially exciting, it does, admittedly, begin to feel repetitive after a while. The pacing can also be a bit erratic, with the story occasionally feeling like it's jumping from one idea to another without fully developing them. The world-building, while creative, sometimes lacks depth, and I found myself wishing for more detailed explanations of certain concepts and settings.

The clever protagonist, intriguing mysteries, and philosophical undertones make it a worthwhile read for those who enjoy stories with competent, slightly ruthless characters and supernatural/survival game themes. If you're willing to push through the initial disorientation, you'll find a complex and rewarding story that will keep you guessing until the very end.
