Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

On one spring evening when I was eight years old, I, Erica, Duke of Aurelia’s daughter, realized something.

Huh, I have reincarnated into a fantasy world, haven’t I?

Moreover, it was the romance-fantasy girl game that had the reputation of being bloody, 『Liber Monstrorum ~Phantom Beasts and the Winter Princess~』

The face reflected in the mirror was that of the villainess character of that game.

After repeatedly harassing many characters, including the heroine, she would die without exception, signaling the beginning of an event called the bizarre incident. She was a villain who deserved to get the consequences!

—I absolutely don’t want a destiny like that, though?

No, since I have remembered the memory of my previous life, I will make sure that kind of thing does not happen.

In my previous life, I was harassed immensely by an irrationally angry yandere man who thought I was in love with him.

My cause of death, too, was from being stabbed by another yandere man who I only had talked with a few times…

Now that I have become the haughty villainess Erica, I shouldn’t encounter more misunderstandings like with the previous life’s yandere men anymore, right…?

In that case, it will be fine as long as I deal with the death flags that I may have raised myself.

All right! First of all, before the bizarre incident begins at the Magic Academy, I will strike down the death flags accordingly!!

—Or so I thought, but it seems that I am about to die.

Eeh, how did this happen—!?

Among the sea of Otome Isekai LN, this one is really unique that it's not really about the otome, but more obout the mystery. There are fluffy moments but the story is more of a fantasy-mystery rather than fantasy-romance. If you like magic, mystery, and some Isekai, this is the story for you. I really like the world building in this series and how it is done. I'm a huge fan to all the subtle mythology/alchemy references in this work that the author put in. The heroine is intelligent and... more>> independent, I find her charming. She's certainly not a damsel in distress. She's focused on the goals of the story, which starts off as avoiding her death but becomes something more than that. The translator also does a great job, they put in research and constantly edit their translations. They even have diagrams if you're into that. <<less

First I liked this novel, the way death flag follow MC was awesome, but then MC destroyed it. You dont go around that carelessly and do whatever you liked when death flag is everywhere around you.

Also in danger she's too freaking calm, like a 2d character without any emotion. And what make me give up on this novel was that just because a character should be a genius, doesnt mean they should be all knowing at age of 12 and calmly analyse everything till they solve a very big danger... more>> '-' <<less

The story is deep. It is not repetitive. It is an amazing story and you have to love the MC and the boys they are so cute and the MC I don't know if she is dense or if she seriously ignore the love factor.

The translation work is amazing.

Excellent world building, it really read like a good classic adventure novel. Surprisingly low amount of generic isekai tropes (it's there tho). Good translation too, a well deserved translation for a quality series like this.

To be completely honest, I find the geography, history, and politics somewhat confusing, but that is compeletly on me. The translator has done an excellent job not only with the translation, but also with the background explanations. This is an excellent novel and I look forward to reading each chapter. I would be fully convinced that the MC is on the way to becoming a certain blackhole’s disciple, except that there isn’t ... more>>

tag. (Apparently at one point there was, as another reviewer says so, but at the time of this review, there isn’t.) If you don’t know what I mean, see Bakarina—I mean, “Destruction Flag.” Still, the world building in this novel is quite intricate and the MC is refreshingly not OP. <<less

An interesting fantasy story. Has a feel of a real fantasy adventure for once. Not many otome stories are like this. Enjoying it so far.

Dumb kids though. Sees door, opens it, enter room, oh shet it's a trap run!.... too late ret*rds, you're already balls deep in the fking room...

I tried but just couldn’t get past the conveniences placed for the sake of the MC and story progression. Here, have a key to a room full of artifacts just minutes before you need them. Here, I’m 20 years old but I kept my clothes in this really special room full of artifacts and expensive ingredients from when I was 8 years old - how convenient for you who is 8 years old! Oh, and they have defensive buffs too, how nice! Did he also have his clothes from when... more>> he was 4?? 10, 12, 14, etc?? So unbelievable.

She then finds what she’s looking for in a ruin that is apparently mechanical and so the layout periodically changes. How did she realise? The ‘Hansel and Gretel crumbs’ weren’t where they were supposed to be. Oh, now I hear the labyrinth as it moves and there’s even an earthquake - why didn’t she notice this before? Clearly it must have changed while she was in there since she got lost when following her crumbs but the earthquake and noise didn’t happen? This all happened in 1 or 2 chapters and I can’t deal with 200+ more <<less

Fun, although flawed at times. Like many other villainess stories, the MC is reincarnated into the game and doesn't actually want to be a villain, attempting to avoid the bad ends that would plague them otherwise. At this point you probably know the villainess genre and that's why you're reading this.

So what matters is the execution. The characters are solid, the worldbuilding is interesting, the plot is fun and action packed. A lot of things don't make a ton of sense on scrutiny but that's fine, it's not flawless but... more>> it's also not going to break the narrative for you, hence 4* from me. Of note is also that it's complete, with a good, solid translator throughout. So far MC has been an 8 year child, I don't know if they age up, but the game takes place several years in the future. There is an aging up/time skip at least once in the story.

But since she's changing the current timeline, who knows how that ends up. Of course the author is making up events as they go along, but they do it in an interesting style where even while changing things, it turns out there was a backstory and multiple parallel, continuing storylines were at play in the game. Rather tricky of course juggling storylines that way, in a game of course you'd only be on one route at the time, and it takes quite a lot of skill to weave something together that stands up with a bigger picture, but so far this author has proven capable of doing so. I want to credit their skill but also I think their writing has a few issues here and there too, so I can't say they are a master writer either, perhaps this is an earlier or beginning work for someone that will continue to get better.

Update-Close to the end on this, and my general impressions haven't really changed, it's still a 4* WN to me, decent enough to read but flawed. It took me about 2 months to read the entire thing (or will, a few chapters left). It's complete and it's probably one of the better WNs I've read, but that's partly because the general level for WNs is rather low. This is above average, but to me not in the great tier of WNs I've truly enjoyed, and not really something I can recommend. It's just not particularly memorable, too many things go on and I don't think it truly understands what it wants to do. <<less

I enjoyed this a lot while reading it because I was drawn to the characters, world-building, and the mystery of who Erica is and why she was brought to their world. The Lore of the story involves typical fantastical elements and the question of the otome game endings. I remember being amazed at how everything was being integrated harmoniously without becoming too nonsensical. Unfortunately, there was a hiatus at some point so I stopped reading, I already forgot a lot of details so I might reread it soon.

A more adventure-focused villainess reincarnation story, very enjoyable to read, and also very low on romance (justified due to MC's past life's traumas)

The characters are likable and each have their own personality without becoming one note.

If I had to criticize something is that some developments in last part of the story open up a few unsolved questions, and kind of railroad events into a predictable outcome in a way that eliminates a lot of the tension.

The fan translation's quality is also excellent.

The story is very intriguing and a page turned. I liked the world building aspect of it, although explanations take a long time. I’m sorry to say, but romance takes a backseat until like 90% of the way through. If you’re okay with that, the story is a nice read.

I like how the title is a play on Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, where the author inverted the characters and place them into an dark fantasy otome game and reinterpreted classics and weave them into the worldbuilding. Although some things may be lost in translation, the translators loved it enough to provide nuggets of explanation.

For those who are into powerful MC that seems to be able to walk the moment they are born, please get over your dopamine addict selves. This is not about someone reincarnated to a... more>> game world, its a setting. <<less

This is one of my favorites. I like villainess stories, but I can't say others were as fun as this one. Not sure how to described it, but when I read something great, I feel like I'm watching a movie and can't look away.

The MC is smart, outgoing, and compassionate, but serious to the point that it's silly sometimes. She may seem weak, but it's highly arguable if you take her relations, position, and resources into account.

I enjoy the fact that there is no hard-core romance since it keeps the... more>> suspense going. The characters interactions, may it be friend or foe, are very entertaining. Love the reactons. I'll admit that the serious details of the overall situation can be a bit hard to keep up for some readers (especially if you think too much like I do), but that's part of the fun of a mystery.

While reading, I can't help but wonder just how much time and effort the author put into world building and background stories. I feel like the pase tends to fit the situation well.

Translations are smooth and the occasional visuals are much appreciated. New chapters come out slowly, but personally I can say that it's well worth the wait. <<less

This novel is probably the most palatable Otome game reincarnation novel that I've read. That doesn't mean much when 99% of the otome isekai novels are basically a slice of life "fluffy" reverse harem story.

To say that this novel is different and unique would be definitely wrong. It just executes its story arcs at a higher level than similar novels.

I think, for the most part, the problem with Otome reincarnation novels, especially when it comes to serious fights and arcs is that everything goes too well for the protagonist. So,... more>> the protagonist wins and is able to defeat evil not because of meticulous planning, but rather because of OP plot armor or coincidental happenings, or people that are in love with her for no apparent reason helping her out. Most people that the MC interacts with are friendly to her, and they all go out of their way to protect her. There's no dangerous characters that interact with her, if at all, and as such, everyone is an ally. There's no mystery as for the affiliation of each character, and that does take out a lot of the suspense for a lot of character arcs.

Another problem is the lack of worldbuilding and buildup to story arcs. It's more like, "oh there's a death flag, gotta deal with it, " and somehow it gets dealt with. There's not much preparation, prologue, or investigation that should happen considering that limited information is given to the protagonist. Dangerous stuff happens out of the blue. Like, people are just attending classes, but all of the sudden, someone close to the MC gets kidnapped. Oh no! Then, somehow, they manage to fight off the baddies and save everyone.

Does Shini Yasui Kōshaku Reijō to Shichi-nin no Kikōshi have all of these problems? Yes, and more, but overall, the dialogue is better, the worldbuilding is better, the magical system and alchemy systems are better, and eh, characters are alright I suppose. There's definitely more thought and research put in the novel than a lot of the other otome game novels, and there's actually detailed descriptions of things. The level of attention to detail is definitely there, and overall, it's not that bad. There's a lot more lore and background to the world that you'd not expect from a novel like this, and the wand system is definitely a lot more robust than any magic system I've seen in a while. The main problem is again, that everyone is the MC's ally. All of the people that the MC manages to save, defeat, or interact with are always helping her out for some reason that's never explained. While certainly, some of the characters are fine, the fact that they give deference to the MC is extremely odd, especially for the monstro that she defeats along the way of the novel.

However, It's the best otome game novel I've read, and for that alone, I'll begrudgingly give it a 7/10 <<less

Erica's confession about her previous life, everything about her, is entirely unnecessary. The author make her confessed everything from her current secret to her modern day life, which make big impact on the fantasy atmosphere. The reaction afterward is forced and awkward. The fact, they are readily to believe her which make them so forced.

So on, I can't bear continue reading this despite having high hope for this novel. This completely turned me off.

The author should just make Erica confess a portion of secret, fabricate some story about her foresight-like ability or something. Imagine suddenly my sister tell me she has previous life in the same circumstance just like her, I would be in real shock and disbelief, not like what happened. Why every isekai have to be this way, do authors hate keeping secret that much?

this is my first ever review on novelupdates! I absolutely love this story. As someone who's not a big fan of romance but loves the reincarnated as a villain trope and a nerd for world building, this is my exact cup of tea. There are definitely some romance scenes but they're never made the centerpiece, for a good reason.

our MC has trust issues rooted from trauma in her past life, which makes her a bit more realistic in terms of most traumatized MCs in the genre.

her story not being involved with love is what makes me adore this story even more.

the infodumping may be jarring to some but I appreciate how much effort the author has put into weaving their world, and I can tell they've placed so much work into researching actual concepts to fit in their narrative. <<less

MC brought the necklace with her even though she knew it would cause someone to die. So why did she bring it? Or couldn't she have refused it from her bro? Then she showed it to another person and revealed everything that caused the other death in her past life. I find that idiotic.

I came back to find out whether the novel was completed or not and decided to make this review along with it.... and now I want to cry.

For some reason I thought the novel was completed, but I was confused on how the novel would be completed in the remaining 28 chapters I had left.

But to find out that it actually WASNT and it was on HIATUS, oh my dear heart can’t take anymore..... <<less

It is a good read. A very good novel. Worth reading.

The story is rich, the characters personality is pictured well, the world building is deep, the plot make sense and interwoven deeply with the story. The romance is slow but I think it worth the wait. Kudos to the author.

The translator is dedicated and doing a very good job.

I'm just falling in love with Erica's world.
