Description

The story of a young woman’s struggles after being reborn into one of her beloved romance otome games–as the antagonist!

Iris, an otome game addict with no time for romance, gets hit by a truck after getting out of work–but instead of dying, she finds herself in the world of a game she’d played just hours earlier. However, she’s not reborn as the game’s protagonist, the main heartthrob of the harem. Instead, she starts her new life as the antagonist, right at the moment she’s being sent to live in a nunnery–for the rest of her life!

barely any romance; as of vol 5 it's no longer slice of life either

by TiredandDeadInside

Rating: 8.0 / 10.0

And that's a huge plus for me. The romance is there, it's happening but it's NOT the point. Thankfully.

Otherwise I agree with everyone's good and bad points. The good heavily outweighs the bad...there's none of the stupid love triangles or female jealousy or court intrigue...so far.

EDIT: Ohohoho -- Shit’s getting real in vol 5 onwards. Political maneuvering, ahoy! The reviews saying everything is going FL's way and that's why this is boring s partially wrong. Sure, at first it looks like FL is a Mary Sue where everything she does and touches is instantly adored, and that she's always in the right.

All the bad things that should have happened as FL pushed through social, cultural and political reform are now boiling over the top! It's finally happening, where other companies and her shithole of an ex-fiance is trying to destroy everything she's built up.

It's getting exciting. Things aren't as easy and carefree anymore. Also Dowager Queen Grandma is quite the conniving schemer herself.

The women in this manga are magnificent. So satisfying. The FL's mother is the protagonist of another story and it's fucking amazing. FL's father was quite a looker in his youth but he is incomparably hotter now as a DILF. FL's genes don't lie.

Unfortunately, in vol.7 ch.52 has FL's grandfather, the General of the Royal Army, throwing an unmistakable Seig Heil. Wtf, artist-san?

That Romance tag is misleading

by kakimochi

Maybe I haven’t read far enough ahead (I’m only on volume 2), but how this is considered a Romance is beyond me. It’s 99.8% about how to be a business woman in an otome world. MC is perfect, amazing, everyone’s savior, and can do no wrong, apparently. So if that’s your thing, then you’ll probably like this one.

UPDATE: The characters and story get drastically better by the middle of the third volume. And there really is a romantic subplot, color me surprised.

I can count few manga where the quality of the story is so much more than the individual parts, and the individual parts are good to begin with.

The art and character designs are excellent.

The world building is extensive, detailed and convincing, and done in such a way they inform the plot, which builds up slowly to some riveting moments that feel genuine. Then the plot, when it takes off, really takes off and pulls you in.

There are victories and losses, and losses because of victories, and vice-versa. Time flows and years pass, and actions do show consequences.

Then add to that characters that are at least 2 dimensional, with many of the main cast being 3 dimensional when it comes to characterization. And it's consistent with its characterization and character growth as well.

The story hangs on not just its characters, but also its world building and plot.

As long as the author stays passionate but doesn't try to force it past a natural end and some epilogues, this story will remain one of the few isekai/vilaness stories that really stand out for its quality.

Dreadfully boring

by Crosswalker

Rating: 1.0 / 10.0

Things mentioned in the description matter for maybe 2 chapters. The rest is a glorified wet dream on how to be a successful businesswoman. Without facing any of the challenges of such grandiose reformations.
Reading this felt like reading a series of articles on Finance category of a news site.

Simply incredible, but definitely not an easy read.

WOW I did not expect this manga to be so detailed! I'm LOVING this. Other's might find this boring, but wow I'm honestly completely shooketh.

** disclaimer: ** if you are looking for the typical otome-game-isekai-harem tropes in this series, you will be very disappointed. This series is ** nothing ** like any of the other manga series about aristocratic female leads. This series dives deeply into economic jargons, geopolitics, public infrastructure reform, and civic servitude. I'm a pretty well-read/nerdy 22 year old, and I had a hard time understanding some of the concepts mentioned in this manga!

** But, if you are intrigued by city-planning, trade, geopolitical feuds, and economics, you will undoubtedly find this manga awesome ** Rebuilding a fief from poverty takes priority during the first 2/3 of this manga, so romance definitely took a backseat. But that also allowed a relationship to develop much more naturally between the 2 MC's.

I love that the MC's are so multi-dimensional. We find out in ch.1 that a modern Japanese accountant's soul fuses with that of Iris, the villainess. So unlike other isekai, new Iris still feels the emotions that old Iris would have felt. I love the struggles that Iris faces-- we see her closing off the love receptors in her brain after her brother/ex-fiance abandoned her in favor of the o.g. game heroine. She, understandably, becomes a workaholic to (1) distract herself from trauma and (2) find a new purpose in life. She becomes our mirror into the world of a pre-capitalist strict social hierarchy. Also, the inter-familial relationships depicted are complex but subtle. Unlike a lot of manga, this author doesn't just repeatedly say "so-and-so is brilliant." Instead, we are shown how cunning and knowledgeable the FL and ML are through their interactions with each other and the situations around them.

Long story short, this manga series actually feels like something intelligent. It's not just wish-fulfillment. It's fantastic world-building that comes as a breath of fresh air after all the juvenile isekai stories I've read.

This is an absolute favourite. Quite a refreshing read and a more adult (not sex, just a bit more intelligent) than the take on villain-isekai.

It started out a bit rough and confusing but the way the action developed, the male and female lead formed their bond, and the political intrigue just completely floored me.

my opinion for reccomendation

cliche about isekai female protagonist as villainess noble is more alike redemption story.
but also it is heartwarming story telling live of protagonist were there character development is necessary or not,
for audience already know what's coming or predicted. but i think there is many lesson to learn in the story.
is kind of seinen and shoujo category in manga
the art work is look alike yaoi artist. but protagonist is well drawn
few scenario only focus on dialogue, and glimpse world around it but granted is not shounen manga
romance is flaw but is what reality romance would drawn in (with dean and iris in that balcony chapter 44)
10/10 i need more like this, because villainess herself is hardwork female lead

Bait-and-Switched Plot

by SomberNight

Rating: 6.0 / 10.0

The art is good and the characters are enjoyable, but the whole plot (up to ch. 12 at least) is just boring.

The original premise of avoiding a nunnery gets resolved in 3 or 4 chapters. From there, the rest is handled in a way that doesn't even require the MC to be from our world. It feels like the isekai beginning only exists to get isekai-fans to pick this up. Afterwards it just becomes a boring explanation of finance concepts.

Very good

by PZcolo

So far it's been an interesting read with decent characters and a decent enough story, thou there is nothing particularly original here it's done well and it's easy and entertaining to read. Also, the art style is nice and the amount of dumbly smiling bishounens is kept in check which is a relief since the artist takes conveying the story seriously and doesn't make a fairy tail out of it with the art, something very common in shoujo.
That said, there are few things I just can't digest in this presentation. The first being that all that innovation is basically transforming that medieval country to Japan's present administration system, which might not sound bad but the issue is that it isn't realistic that the nobility and royalty would allow or turn a blind eye to a fiefdom that empowers the citizens in such a manner and without the leave of the king.
And the second and my main gripe with this manga is that the MC, while interesting, is not very believable or consistent, one thing is knowing how a bank works and thus applying that but the author takes it to levels of knowledge she should not easily poses. Also, and above all, the MC takes over the body of Iris at the breakup of the relation, she has no reason to be depressed or shocked about what happens since from the get go she knows about it already, nor should she have any real feelings for the second prince or her own brother or anyone for that matter, they are just characters in a video game, it's understandable if she gets attached after living there but that's not the case, the truth is all previous memories she has are simply not hers, it's ridiculous to assume she would be so heavily affected by them and that she would be able to so seemingly adopt Iris persona and pretty much loose her real identity completely. Then there is also that she's a firm believer of the church... she's not even from that world, how can she believe in a god she didn't even know about? The MC is riddled with this lapses on the writer's storytelling, I think the author just doesn't use the isekai theme properly and used it only as a tool to have the MC have knowledge about economy and government that she could not have otherwise but she disregards the setting later and thus erred greatly using that theme at all imo.

Edit3: Having said all that and in spite of it this is one of the best implementations of the "transmigrated into a game" kind of settings. The fact that I'm nitpicking at such incongruities means (in my book) that it does most of the rest well and has a solid foundation. I sometimes tend to get carried by the negatives, a bad habit. 6.5 > 7.5 > 8
It's good too that the story doesn't stop or stagnate in petty rivalries and the usual romantic polygons' mess that plague the genre, it starts to expand it's playground, goes from her fiefdom to the country, then involves religion and conflicts with other states, likewise it goes from almost exclusively focusing in economics to encompass politics, it's quite interesting to be sure.
Just realized that the novel is completely translated, oh goodie.
