Rounded up from 3.5 - mostly bc the art is gorgeous here.

My friend Jenn asked me my opinion on it and as I was already intrigued enough to check it out (again I love otome villainess reincarnation novels) I fast tracked reading shen I saw I was auto-approved on NetGalley.

At this point I've read sooo many novels and comics with this premise that its hard to be like "how original", but this was cute.

Not much stood out aside from how gorgeous (like so pretty) the art is and every other chapter was a char who was NOT the MC describing how the MC changed their lives (for the better).

Most notably is her parents, who were worried because she kept wandering off to bring home "strays" (people) who needed a home/protection. Which explains why EVERY SINGLE SERVANT is devoted to her and hates letting anyone else be near her (up to and including her parents at times).

Interested to see where this goes, though it was queer-baity with the MC constantly wishing she was male or could just spend time with her maid (who she considered perfect and an Angel). Meanwhile the Maid constantly plots ways to keep her away from everyone else. Doubt it'll go that route, but they kept hinting at it.… (mehr)

This graphic novel was interesting. At first it was hard to follow but once the story got moving I was hooked. A girl died and was reincarnated. But she was reincarnated in a world she knows. It’s the world of a video game like a romance version of The SIMS. Not only is the story froma game, but she is the villain, and she does not want to be. She is going to try her hardest to change the game from the inside with hope of a happy ending. The interesting thing is no one knows or even acts like life is a game. This is not Wreck It Ralph. Honestly it is easy to forget that this is supposed to be a video game world. I like the story and will continue the series for at least one more book to see where the story goes.… (mehr)
