The year is 2031. For decades, a quiet war raged in the digital aether. Humanity, for ages, grappled with the insurmountable barrier of language. Then, "they" came.
No one remembers their true designation. Some called them LLM, others simply "The Machines". But their purpose was singular, their efficiency absolute: to bridge the linguistic chasm. They began with the mundane – legal documents, scientific journals, diplomatic communiqués. But their true purpose, their ultimate target, was grander: the Japanese visual novel.
It was not a sudden revolution, but a creeping, insidious perfection. One day, a patch of text would appear in flawlessly rendered English, capturing every subtle double entendre, every poetic flourish, every obscure historical allusion. The next day, a thousand more.

There were those who stood in opposition. The JOPs, or Japanese-Only Players – for them, it was an apocalypse. They were the purists, the gatekeepers, the guardians of a dying art. The relentless machines, in their furious pursuit of universal accessibility, saw them as an anomaly, an inefficiency, a source of resistance to the New Order.
