1. An information processing system, comprising:
processing circuitry configured to:
present a predetermined number of advices within a first time period to a user via a virtual agent user interface associated with a first virtual agent generated based on an agent character database;
detect a first number of times of occurrence that the user has followed the predetermined number of advices; and
control the virtual agent user interface to be updated or to not be updated for use within a second time period after the first time period based on a relationship between the predetermined number and the first number, at least appearance, voice, or personality of a second virtual agent being rendered as different from that of the first virtual agent when the virtual agent user interface is updated,
wherein the predetermined number of advices within the first time period correspond to a same recommendation or one or more different recommendations of a same advice category.
