“Life Experience” consists of six parameters that represent protagonist Ichiban Kasuga’s characteristics and human nature. Those parameters are “Enthusiasm,” “Mentality,” “Cheerfulness,” “Kindness,” “Intelligence,” and “Stylishness.”
There are various merits to building up Life Experience, such as getting a specific job through Hello Work, talking to people you would normally not bother to talk to, gaining the upper hand in battle, and becoming more popular with women. Build up all sorts of experience to strengthen Kasuga’s Life Experience.
Your Life Experience parameters will develop based on your actions and choices. Here is an outline of each parameter in greater detail:
- Enthusiasm – The source of “willingness” and “romance.” Develops through enthusiastic conduct and doing things with utmost effort.
- Mentality – The source of “mental strength” and “concentration.” Develops through situations that test your courage and emotional strength.
- Cheerfulness – The source of “sociability” and “brightness.” Develops through actions that lighten the mood.
- Kindness – The source of “broad-mindedness” and “empathy.” Develops through kind interaction with people, animals, and nature.
