Description
Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.It was something that happened while I was waiting for the day of the primary school entrance exam. I realised that I had become one of the characters of a shoujo manga that I loved reading in my old life, ‘You Are My Dolce’.
The role I was assigned was a character who bullied the commoner protagonist and tried to get in the way of her love with a rich boy nicknamed Emperor; a typical villainess rich girl, Kisshouin Reika.
At the end of the story, Reika suffered the Emperor’s retribution and even her family fell into ruin. With the villain gone, the protagonist and the Emperor overcame their trials and became a couple. And they lived happily ever after.
Wait, that’s terrible for meee! The manga ended there, but I have to continue living my life after my family is ruined!
The protagonist can enjoy her romance or love or whatever on her own. I’ll erase my presence so that I don’t anger the Emperor.
Eh-? The story isn’t progressing well because there’s no villain, you say? But I’m busy saving up money and studying so that I can live well after the collapse.

No clear pairing for Reika and Wakaba (game Heroine) yet. In these kinds of stories, one would expect it to be Enjou/Reika but so far, I'm afraid this story is leaning towards Masaya/Reika (or maybe that's just me?) since they have so many (typical shoujo manga) moments together. I've watched a lot of romance stories so I know that it's very, very easy for the author to go down the Masaya/Reika route. Masaya/Wakaba is not developing either and guys who use bridges in romance usually ends up with the bridge (Reika). With how the story's developing so far, I think that I won't be opposed to it.
- She is reincarnated as a villainess in an otome game set in modern japan... but aside from doing the obvious to avoid the bad end routes, she gets no advantages from a past life. In fact, the past life gives her considerable emotional damage.
- The people around her are all significantly naturally more capable than she is. In terms of your standard isekai tr*sh ranking system, this is what we'd call a "low spec" body. She sometimes manages to get into the class rankings (only the top 30 are displayed at her school) through significant effort. She sucks at sports, but works hard to be "average." Her romantic life is the exact opposite of what you'd expect an otome heroine to go through and every inch she gains is filled with blood, sweat, and tears (all literal). The one thing she got is that she's a rich family's only daughter.
- Speaking of rich, she is an ojousama type who, despite being the daughter of a working class family in her previous life, still makes an effort to appear the part. This goes to the point where the only working class sensibilities to survive the reincarnation are love of junk food and (partial) immunity to 'rich person disease' (where all sense of money is warped on a completely different scale). This creates great situations all throughout the story, especially in the high school arc, where she has forgotten a lot of what it means to be working class having lived in rich society for so long. Her character's reactions to these are "Great Stuff."
- She gets fat easily. Often. Every other chapter she's worrying about it. This is great because it's portrayed as an important conflict. Given her lack of luck with romance, she works HARD at it despite her terrible physical specs. Given your standard reincarnator who can run a 40 yard sprint in half a second without sweating, this is abnormal. What surprised me is how endearing it is. Because she works hard to lose weight and keep it off (all the while getting made fun of and teased for it by those who know her well enough), it gives her this odd sense of reality that makes her all the more charming.
- Inner monologues: jap novels are famous for these and Reika doesn't disappoint. The comedy is hilarious and is often filled with "Greek Tragedy" moments where the audience knows more than Reika does. Her reactions to her wins and defeats are comedy gold.
- "Action" scenes without action. Lack of action in an action scene; I never would have believed it. Folding fans are dangerous weapons. You'll have to read it to believe it. Hilarious. Moving. I applauded while reading.

I can't recommend this series enough to those who are on the lookout for top waifu material. She'll heal your heart through her antics.She constantly loses in love. She is so unapproachable due to her position that normie tr*sh won't even try it and the only other suitable targets all already have love targets of their own. Hopefully, things develop so the more entertaining brohans fall for her and likewise, but in the meantime, it's edge of your seat "will this bloom into something more?!" fare. Great stuff.
1. Female protagonist who is a total commoner ditz but somehow manages to come off as a total bourgie rich lady.
2. Totally NOT the type of novel with incredibly capable protagonist (well, usually in these novels the protag tends to be OP) - she isn't super intelligent and has to study like the rest of us to get good grades, struggles with food and dieting, gets stressed out over little things (and eats junk food and desserts to de-stress), is a coward, is totally unlucky (gets bombed by birds), and often we can relate to her as a real person with real problems; that is, real problems in a total bishoujo type game.
3. This is one of those really light reads that requires very little brain power but is somehow addictive - like chips (crisps). You pop the bag and nom-nom-nom-omg-its-finished.
4. I really really enjoyed this story despite it being rather shallow and silly at times. Not recommended if you do not like the shoujo-genre.
Not recommended if you do not like the shoujo-game genre.
Not recommended if you do not like high school drama type novels.
There is no OP protagonist; she's a total normie except for her family background.
There is no magic or sci-fi or super powers involved.
When I first saw its title, I thought: Meh. Might as well try it. I picked up this novel for the sake of having something to read while I wait for the updates of others but I ended up being attached to it. The characters have depth to them. They felt like real people who have both their good sides and bad sides as well as the different masks they show to different people. I love how there really are character developments. Since the very beginning, I have thought that this story has a very light tone. I love how the pace is fast yet relaxing as you read it. I love how the school drama is present yet it doesn't feel too intense and overly dramatic especially when MC is involved. I find myself looking forward to reading this every time even though I'm used to action-packed adventure stories. I find this story greatly enjoyable; a great read; totally recommended! ~As of c197, January 21, 2017~
The translations are super slow for me, though I can understand why because of their numerous project and also stuff IRL, but I could not wait any longer and started reading the raws. But I'll say this. Translator-san, Good job! The translations really justify how good the original material is and properly transmits the jokes and puns. Maybe not all, but most of them are properly transmitted and are actually funny. Plus, he puts the necessary references in his translations which really helps. Although I am saying that the translator is skilled, this novel actually is good by itself even in the raws. I love the writing style of the author; how the characters have consistency; how the point of views really establish the world through Reika's eyes and also through the eyes of those around her. As I mentioned before, this novel has a great characterization. The MC is not a Mary Sue, nor is the heroine. Each of the characters have distinct personalities and they just leave an impression on you as if they were real people. The story is. super. slow. paced. The chapters from primary school up to middle school number up to over 70, but high school arc's chapters numbers almost 200. High school. arc. itself. is. 200. Can you imagine that? I know good novels get extended (do they?) and are often sprinkled with fillers all around and I'm not complaining (I am not... really!) because I can read more. I am just frustrated at the fact that major developments seldom happen. And when they do, most of the time, I'm happy but I've also been shocked and or or frustrated at the plot twists that often occur.
My ships often get sunk. Reika and Akizawa-kuuuu~n!!!! Although I've come to terms with it and have accepted Sakurako... And also Ichinokura Haruto... I hate her girlfriend. Just when I thought Reika was going down the older man route...
Well, I'm leaning to the Enjou side for now. Although I can't give my full support to him since I don't know what he's thinking and often end up assuming that he's just a scheming bastard (just like Reika does) but
he may also unexpectedly just be a gentleman. Although this one time I did think that he just used Yukino-kun as an excuse to talk about Valentine's day with Reika and spread some rumors (indirectly).
Above all, the most I am frustrated about is how Reika still has no boyfriend!!! I understand that it's the setting but... I feel sorry for her. Do all men in this novel's world have no backbone?! Enjou, if you actually like her, just spit it out!!! Reika's so pretty and elegant (outwardly). Even if she's called the "Unreachable Flower", there ought to be atleast 1 in 10, 000 who has some feelings for her! *sigh
This girl (MC) has such a moe gape!! She has the appearence of Ojou-sama but inside is a super commoner!! You can have fun shipping her with many male character!! (Even though that ship will go to other Uwaa~)
You can say this is such a comedy and healing story!!
and am sad I will never know who her prince is, truly the chief of the forever alone village. : (
- This is one of the most fun and endearing otome-game novels I've ever read. Ever.
- Even though I usually prefer historical or fantasy (I don't really prefer novels set in high school or the modern world), this was still super entertaining.
- This is written so well. The character development is gradual and subtle. It's like a slice-of-life but with lively and well-timed pacing. 200 chapters and I still can't guess who the final love interest will be, but instead of bothering me, it's more believable and realistic.
- The translation quality is excellent.
To be continued...
