It begins as a usual isekai story.
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. ... more>>

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?

What was worse than being reincarnated as a villain of a story?... more>>

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?"

This is the story of a man who made a lot of bad choices.... more>>

An American army engineer finds himself at rock bottom in Japan, but finally figures out a way to put his life back together. While waiting in an airport in Japan, he was hoping to reconnect with his ex-wife, repair his relationship with his daughter, and get his family back.

The plane never makes it to Japan.

Having reached the end of his rope, Ryan just can't take it anymore, and decides to end it all by stepping out into traffic. The only problem is that he stepped out in front of Truck-Kun on the prowl.

As Ryan awakens, he finds himself trapped in the midst of a Romantic Isekai Otome Game, a world he knows nothing about. To add to his troubles, he finds himself occupying the body of the school's social outcast, destined to be married to the villainess, who is on the verge of ruining her engagement with the crown prince and facing exile from the kingdom.

On top of that, Ryan soon discovers that he is not the only one who has been transported to this world. Someone else very familiar with the setting is trying to manipulate the world to their own benefit and in the process may change the genre from what should be a simple rom-com into a demonic apocalypse.

To prevent this, the Gods have given Ryan an offer he can't refuse.

Stop the end of the world and they'll help him find his family. <<less

Francine Lataille is the villainess of an otome game called 'Personal Spring', and at some point she became self-aware of this. She began to learn things in ways unclear to her, and her knowledge carried over between playthroughs. She tried to struggle, to change the outcomes she knew were coming, but her words and actions were bound by the game's script. Gradually she came to accept that. She's just along for the ride. And gradually she fell in love with the protagonist, Emma Grenier, even though she can never express it.... more>>

After innumerable playthroughs she knows everything about the game. Every route, every choice, every event, every conversation, every interaction, and every ending; even those she's not actually present for. She even has some knowledge of the outside. She's not sure how, but it's all come to her bit by bit. There is nothing about the game she hasn't seen hundreds of times.

Until one day another New Game starts where something is different. It seems small at first, but things are not as they should be. Is it a glitch? Is she following a new script now? Or could it be the most terrifying possibility, that she is finally responsible for her own actions?

( I pushed the chapters out pretty fast, so it's done now. It was fun to revisit, and update it. ) <<less

"Okinawa Sai, a former army espionage operative, retired at the age of 40 and spent the next four years of his life indulging in his love for anime, including favorites like Bleach, Naruto, One Piece, and Dragon Ball. His fascination with Bleach even led him to learn swordsmanship. One day, his adopted daughter persuaded him to play an Otome game. As he neared the end of the game's first season, his living house was attacked by his old enemies. Caught off guard, he was tragically murdered.

He believed his glorious life had come to an end. But in the next moment, he found himself in the body of a newborn infant, equipped with a Bleach system. Not only that, he had been reborn inside the Otome game he had been playing before his death. His life took an unexpected turn as he embarked on a new journey in a different world, blending elements of his past with the mysteries of this unfamiliar realm." <<less

Filian has a lifelong friend. Nothing weird, just a best friend she's known all her life-- though Rosa is everything BUT normal. She shouts mathematical equations at her between bites of lunch, she moans the lack of something called a kalk-u-later, and she utterly hates even the merest mention of the country's prestigious Academy. Oh, and the air always seems to sparkle when she laughs.... more>>

And then suddenly a local duke waltzes in and claims her as his illegitimate daughter, and Rosa doesn't even bat an eyelash. Then she's enrolled into the Academy, and she's suddenly all jittery and afraid. Then she starts talking about probabilities? Plans? Routes? Secret targets?

Filian the commoner is as lost as she could ever be, and it's not going to get better anytime soon. Oh boy.

A light-hearted, comedic take on the isekai genre! :) Hope you enjoy!

Note/edit: I've come to notice that people sometimes do not know, so, um, yes, Filian (as boyish as the name may be) is female. :D <<less

Now, not only do I have to cope with my own death and the loss of my family but I also have to deal with my new situation.

Discovering that you've reincarnated into the world of your most hated visual novel would infuriate anyone. Especially if that world treats its female characters like helpless dolls begging to be rescued by the nearest male character. Freya certainly isn't going to take this lying down, and especially not when the "villainess" of this world is just a girl struggling to please a cruel father. She doesn't deserve the horrific fate that awaits her... and Freya can't stand the thought of standing by and doing nothing. But how can a poor commoner with no power or influence get close to the daughter of the terrifying Duke Rhinestadt? Freya will have to fight tooth and nail to... more>> change the fate of "The Monster's Daughter"...

A powerful girl? Obviously.... more>>

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!"

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

A story about a girl who suddenly woke up to an unknown ceiling... ... more>>

She has reincarnated... into a body of a red-haired seven year old duke's daughter called Rosette Yttrea.

May had read too many novels to procrastinate with her studies; she was a very degenerate isekai hoe and a sucker for villainess noble girl isekai. Many comrades who love the genre would have imagined at one point, "What would it be like to suddenly reincarnate into a different world?" She too embraced such fluttering thoughts.

But when the actual situation came to play, she wanted to do nothing but swear endlessly upon how naive her thoughts were.

Don't transmigrators usually reincarnate after death by a kiss from truck-kun? SHE WENT TO BED LIKE ANY OTHER NORMAL DAY!
Before reincarnating, isn't there some sort of god or omnipotent being to give her some OP powers? SHE JUST WOKE UP LIKE THIS!
Don't reincarnators usually have extensive knowledge of what's going to happen in the future?
It was true she was an isekai fanatic, but NONE of the specific plot and details stuck with her after she was done reading.

So why is she in this situation? Hey, God? EXPLAIN THIS?!

She realized that she transmigrated inside an otome game she used to play as Colette Corliss, the villainess. Nothing to worry about. She can just use her game knowledge to avoid death flags or something, right?

A world with plenty of protagonists with different tiers of heroine halos. A bunch of Rival Characters. Love interests confusing who their heroine was. There was only one word to describe her current circumstance. Chaos! But it isn't necessarily a bad thing. She smirked to herself.
