No, wait. It`s worse. It's otome isekai. And I`m the villain.
Of course, there must be some kind... more>> of cheat to make up for it. It's that kind of story.
And my cheat is... being a shoggoth. Which apparently includes being a genius with setting up all sorts of production. Because "engineered to be universal labor" backstory for that race, I surmise.

------------------------------------

Ann, a corporate slave in the modern life, suddenly couldn’t resist her body’s drowsiness and fell asleep after working non-stop for... who-knows-how-long. Her sleep wasn’t a good one as she was overly worried she wouldn’t be able to finish her work. When she finally woke up, she was greatly shocked.

An unknown room, an unknown man with his icy expression, and moreover, the man addressed her as “Arlea”, and not “Ann”.
And then she finally realized. She somehow ended up in the body of “Arlea”—a villainess in the fantasy/romance otome game she had played in the past, when she still had free time to relax. To make things worse, she remembered that in the next one year, she—Arlea—was fated to die.

‘In such a situation, what should I do?’
‘Let’s think seriously of a way to overturn the situation?’
‘But hold on, what if I can’t change the scenario? Why bother?’

Having lived her days in the modern life as a serious and restrained woman who became a corporate slave to her death, Ann finally decided... to spend her additional 365 days to live well, and to cross out some of her bucket list that she could still do!

'If I can avoid my death, it's good. If not, at least I've enjoyed my additional time here in this fantasy world where magic and monsters exist, where I don't need to slave away my life ridiculously for the corporate!'

Little did she know that her decision would cause everyone who knew Arlea to be very surprised and alarmed with her change.
What happened to the villainous, hateful woman called Arlea? Why did she become like this? What is she scheming now??
Let's see how long she can keep up her pretense!

Can she avoid her death flag, or will she be able to survive more than the designed 365 days? <<less

"We are well aware that the relationship between us is not healthy. Our love is far from perfect. It's messed up. Just like us."
- Bing Shi & Mr. Jelly... more>>

After a painful separation, Bing Shi gets a once in a lifetime opportunity to get back together with the 'love of her life' under one condition. To get one of her wishes granted, she will have to travel to different worlds and finish all the assigned missions from the System HeadQuarters. In each world, she will encounter the best species of men — men that are many times more influential than the Mr. Jelly from her previous life.

So what if these men are more handsome than her boyfriend?
So what if they have an eight pack, while her boyfriend doesn't even have four?
So what if they have all the money in the world?

She will refuse them all, that's if they will even be interested in her.

Really?

Will she be able to resist the alpha men that could make any human fall to their knees?

Of course!

She will just kneel down like everyone else in order to blend with the crowd.

She might not be able to wait until she finishes all the missions, but she will surely stay loyal to her boyfriend until the very end.

That's what she is saying, but things are always easier said than done.

Being reincarnated as the mother to the main love interest in an otome game.

Not only did she became a mother right after she reincarnated, but she was also married to the most powerful man in the country who was famous for his tyrant ways of conquering other countries in only just two years of his ruling and by then he was just fifteen-years-old.

"Hey, hey! Why are you acting so different than the rumours? And why are you clinging to me? I'm not in love with you, okay? Heck, I don't even know your name! Go back to your one-hundred concubines!"

"But, wife, I don't need those ugly women. I only need you. Wife, how about having a daughter this time around?"

Life was hard and... Cruel.
That is how Rue Sweet Lee saw the world.... more>>

From young age, she already faced death...

Once.

But, now?

It's coming to take her again.

'Truthfully I really wanted to laugh at her reaction that time, but I wasn't able to, because everything hurts, every parts of my body hurts so badly.

I just then realized, that I was really dying. It was really my end after all, but I told myself,

"Well, at least I won't need to endure, and suffer with this family anymore."' She thought.

All her life she was alone and pained and burden by the misery of being alive.

The only thing that was keep her on going, was her almost finished Otome Game, titled 'The Strings Of Love' that she considered as her only 'friend'

But, death was like a gum stuck to her

"BAAAM!!"

While laying on the floor, dying the only thing on her mind that time was.

'Oh no!! Is there any hidden target!? No!!! I wasn't able to know if the rumored Hidden Target do actually exist!? ...'

A story of a girl, who face death once, now twice, and even now waking up and found herself reincarnated and given another chance in life again, was once again still forced to face death once more.

"Death! You know what!?? If you keep hunting me!! You'll really be the death of me!!"

This is her story when she decided to bow down to her fate and bow down to face her death.

And be the Main Villainess of her favorite Otome Game, which whose death was already predestined.

So, What can she do now?

"I have decided to be a Sacrificial Villainess, to give them a route to their happy end…"

"But…"

"Hmm?"

"How about your happy ever after then?"

"My happy ever after?"

"Yes"

"Ohhh… But, I'll be having none."

"But, Why?"

" I'm not worth it. Besides I'm nearing death's door anyway"

A girl who saved everyone…

"You're not alone."

But, who...
Will save her?

"Goobye... Everyone"
She walked away

Like a dream, she silently faded…

Out of their life…

Out of 'his' life.

"LUNA!!!"

Reincarnation: Villainess' Chosen Path <<less

“Death by Love”... more>>

Just like any other visual novel, the villainess shall suffer—in the name of “justice”—for trying to obscure the relationship between the heroine and her man. Although in this certain game, mercy wasn’t ingrained into any of the members of the developer team’s vocabulary and she doesn’t simply leave with a scratch. In fact, she doesn’t leave anywhere with an exception for one path—a road to pure destruction. Be it the happy endings, or bad endings, she suffered a devastatingly horrid fate all the same; only befitting for a game rated +18—if the title didn’t already give away its grim nature.

Even with this knowledge, our villainess continues to look for the meaning of a “fulfilling life”—this time, one she doesn’t regret.

All systems are go, but but but there appears to be a catch.

He held his beautiful head and screamed, "How did this happen to me?!"

After waking up to an unfamiliar ceiling a former man found himself sporting long black hair, fierce red eyes, fair skin, and a rather incredible figure. "This resting b*tch face ..." he contemplated momentarily, "It's totally my preference! But it's totally my face! Totally bad news!"

The only option was to buy time until he could figure out what was going on and very soon he realized, "Aren't I screwed?" He was a duke's daughter engaged to the crown prince of the kingdom and was currently attending a magical academy with a cast of overly hot men happening to be the same age. This was clearly an otome game setting, and with his elegant, flower of evil, villainess face he inwardly broke out in a cold sweat.

The major problem was his total lack of information for he had never heard of the otome game he was currently in. Ergo, he had no idea how to avoid a bad end. However, the true problem was even more profound. "Marrying a man is impossible: I'm only into girls!"

The Count's daughter, Elena De Heuser, had unfortunately fallen in a tragic event. At that time, her soul resonated strongly with another soul in the... more>> void. The supposed villainess would have her life turn around and achieve something more.
It was a rare chance, a one in a trillion but it happened. Something horrible took notice of the resonance and switched places with them. A fate that had been twisted was twisted even further. Perhaps it was a good thing for her or perhaps not.

A streamer who had thousands of fans in Japan, who loved otome games, reviews them posting online and making a living out of streaming. ... more>>

One day one of her fans sent her a very horrible rated otome game but since she was curious and it was her passion to rate every otome game that ever existed, she downloaded it and played it for the whole day. "What the heck?! All the love interests are horrible on this game?!"

The production company who made the game, [Love Lily Blossom Otome Game]. Such a long name by the way, made all the love interest have some sort of distorted personality and even if the heroine does end up with one of them, she'll be either locked in the love interest's mansion, exiled, or will be the love interest's slave?!

Only the villainess was the only sensible one but even she got the worst ending too for being engaged with the crown prince- and dying at every route she's on.

"The author of this game is... psychotic. Why invest a Millions of Yen in a game like this? I wish I could save the Villainess myself."

One day, she suddenly dies and realizes she's not in her own body anymore. She was being pinned down by the Villainess in the wall proceeding to threaten her. "If you don't leave the crown prince alone. I'll have no choice but to use other ways to shut you up." she says coldly, glaring at the cowering girl.

Well that was the Villainess thought but the former streamer was just so confused and excited she couldn't help but shout- "I-I'm the Heroine of Love Lily Bloom?!"

The Villainess looked at her weirdly once the Heroine was eyed leveled with her gaze. Those pupils dilated and seemed to have formed heart shapes irises. "You-! I'm going to save you!"
