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—!?

I really love this so far. Especially the MC's friendship with Harold :3 It was unexpected to have some of the foreshadowed love interests to turn out as just friends and was wonderful! The world is amazing and interesting and I can't wait to see what happens next!

Big thanks to the translator and their editors, ya'll are doing amazing <3

it's OK as long as you like dense MCs. I find them annoying and to be honest I'm surprised I lasted until c30 before giving up (s*upid/ dense MC are my number 1 pet peeve and normally I avoid it but there were so many tags for this story that I didn't see it). this is why I don't usually read Japanese isekai stories... they're all borderline ret*rded when it comes to certain aspects; i.e. why didn't she leave that necklace in her room since she knew it was a... more>> trigger? why did she tell the brother exactly where it was found when she knew it was a death flag? s*upid all around. I liked the actual adventure parts and the world building was good but the moments of wtf were too much for me.

also, in this particular story, it's a little disturbing to have all these 8-10 year old kids running around seriously interested in her romantically. I know it's the aristocracy and all but they should at least wait until puberty. of course, she's dense there, too, like all isekai novels. <<less

This is more than the regular isekai troop that is available to read out there. This actually has a plot with different sub plot that makes it so interesting and worth to read. This is not just something to read for laugh nor is it lighthearted. Its really a good read and best enjoyed when an arc finishes

It's good. It's a classic reincarnated-into-the-villainess-of-an-otome-game novel, with a few key twists;

  • The villainess in the otome basically dies as mook #1 in mysterious incidents. This makes the story a mix between adventure, mystery and action, with romance taking a clear backseat.
  • While the MC played the game, she only got to play two scenarios before she was stabbed to death. Thus, while she does have fairly good info in the first few cases, she'll have to do quite a lot of investigation on her own later on.
  • The MC fights on through the combined power of friendship, cunning, and pure dumb luck. The butterfly effect is strong in this novel, and seems to work in karmic ways.
It's good.

This was one of the best transmigration/reincarnation.. Novels that I've read so far. I loved and still love it.

It starts with the typical ''I need to crush death flags'' and ''I'm the villainess'' and ends with an WOOOAH, HOW IS SHE STILL ALIVE -you will understand what I mean-.

I really recommend this light novel. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

So far, it is an interesting novel. World building is done well, and it is apparent that the author did his or her research and found inspirations in folktales from a number of cultures. Overall, unique. The mystery makes the novel engaging. In terms of characterization, it is pretty decent. The MC still seems a bit typical to me, but at the same time, I feel like I hardly know her.

... more>>
Spoiler

There are aspects of her that are confusing/contradicting. She is afraid of ghosts (first arc, she mumbles to encourage herself), but not death. At least, she thought of it foremost. She didn't think, "Oh man, I am going to die (since I have never done this before)." Even though the MC died in her previous life due to getting stabbed, she is too calm and confident, which I am not sure where it came from. For example, when she was inflicted by the death curse, she proceeded in finding Ann without showing fear of dying. It is as though dying once made her immune to the idea of her dying. I would think that if one had another chance to live, he or she would generally be more careful and more afraid to lose it a second time. Although the event itself was a death flag, and by saving Ann, she supposedly would save her own life, it still felt like she did not put too much thought into her actions.

What I am trying to say is that I want to see some hesitation and inner struggles that are inherent in human beings, especially for a modern person, when it comes to death. This is even more true because the novel is mostly in first person. The lack of these aspects make her less relatable to the reader in my opinion. Towards the end of the first arc, she used a wand to switch places with Ann, who was about to get possessed by the so-called antagonist. I just find it hard to believe that she was willing to risk her life for someone she met for only a day. But I guess, in her head, she's thinking that she'll just die either way. If she doesn't save Ann, Ann gets possessed, and she'll die like in the original storyline. But if she goes to save Ann, she'll die in the process. Complex thoughts like this *should* be shown. It makes the MC feel more real. Honestly, cannot clearly say whether or not I like her.

Not to mention, we do not know who *she* really is. Sure, she is "Erica, " but who is she really? What is her real name? That's one of my main concerns in isekai/transmigration novels is that the background of the MC, not the character they get turned into, is not fully explored. Her past can help to explain some of her actions. The author might as well made the otome game world a real, fantasy world that this novel is based out of. The significance of the world being based out of an otome game is that the MC has the advantage of knowing her death flags, but this novel could still work without the reincarnation aspect. For example, "Erica" could have foresight or even a fragmented version or something like that to allow her to vaguely see what will happen in the future. Because the way that the novel is now, I actually do not care much about the otome game characters because I subconsciously separate the MC from the rest of the cast as real and fake people.

[collapse]

Another thing that I want to mention is that with all the world building done around the actual game, there is not much explanation in regards to the foundations. I am left with some questions, which may or may not have been addressed in the novel later on. For example, what role does the character, "Erica, " play in the game? Cannon fodder? It seems that she serves mainly as a plot device to move the story along. She is the reason that the story is all "bloody" by leading some of the nobles to insanity (from possessions and the like). This leaves the protagonist of the game to capture... them... in that state? If so, why do the developers of this game characterize Erica so much? From what I have read, the in-game Erica is extremely knowledgeable with wands and golems due to her mother's teachings yet acts arrogant despite not having any magical ability? It was noted that the MC does not even know why Erica acts that way. How does she have so many death flags? How does she have so many lives in the game? It seems that her existence is contradicting with that of the protagonist, Chloe, because she herself has her own route. In the first arc, a mere mention of the necklace led to Ann attempting to find the star piece (or whatever it's called) and getting possessed, which led to Erica getting turned into gold, from what I recall. What's the significance of letting "Erica" live? How does she continue the story for the protagonist, Chloe? I feel like the author spent too much time developing the times that the MC is Erica, and not how "Erica" is important to the game. Maybe I am misunderstanding the story. Then that would be my fault, but things are not entirely clear.

In terms of translation quality, pretty good. I kind of wish that sentences were grouped into paragraphs because having sentences act as lone paragraphs breaks the flow of the reading. Most likely, this was how the author wrote it, but having indentations everywhere makes the chapters seem unnecessarily long. I do love the illustrations though. It would actually be nice to have one for the world map.

In conclusion, I might continue reading this. I don't know yet. If I read further, I might grow to like it more, but at the same time, I am wondering if the novel is really worth my time. For new readers, I would suggest reading it to see what it is like. Many seem to be enjoying it. I'm just on the fence about it. <<less

Like most reincarnated in an otome novels, the MC gets caught up in a mystery that's bigger than what the original game lets on. Where this novel stands out is in its lore and pacing. Not only do we have a world that's rich in plot-relevant mythology and history, the unraveling of the mystery isn't bogged down by the usual romantic subplots and fanservice common in the genre (and shojo in general).

This is one of those rare female MC novels with a lot of plot, little romance (including baiting), and... more>> definitely no romance with the controlling creeps found in many Chinese novels. Oh, and she's NOT the loner type that some authors use as cover for writing what would typically be a male character. <<less

Currently my favorite novel so far. This novel has a little romance but a very good plot twist.

Recommended for you who love fantasy and magic. The story is wrapped beautifully that can make you feel and imagine the other side of reincarnated world.

other world, reincarnated into a game character... sounds very familiar if you've been here long enough. it has action, comedy, some drama not too focused on the romance side (still fine) and magic, the story is interesting, a bit of your average stereotypes with the characters, but overall good :)

no super OP/MC, it has the proper pacing with a little mystery (little dragging) and somewhat good world building.

Only one word: Awesome

The plot is great and the mystery so fascinated, the translation is excellent, no place to complaint and totally recommend reading this.

The schemes in this are thick and I like the way the author builds the world and every character has the charm of their own.

I just can't help but fall in love with every character, Erica is not the OP and she extremely needs someone help when she falls into her despair pit every now and then. Every character has their pros and cons. Also, I... more>> love that each ML has their own way to express their feeling toward Erica but not every attempt work

Okay so I just wanted to say, thank you translator-san for all of your hard work translating this series, as I’m truly enjoying reading it! I’ve noticed that there are some slightly rough patches with your translation, but honestly your speed and quality make up for it immensely. And at that point the question “Isn’t it the authors fault?” is raised because of the slightly stiff wording that this book has at times. Anyway, other than the slightly stiff wording, I really liked this series! I do find the lead... more>> character a bit too dense for how the author set her up originally, but I think it’s fine for now. There is one thing I have a problem with, and that’s
Spoiler

the fact that some of the capture targets are actually really old in comparison. Let’s say that the game’s MC was 15 at the time of enrolling at the school, which would put it approximatly 7 years in the future. Now we’ve already established that the Mc’s older brother is 20 years old when the novel’s MC is 8 years old, which would make the game’s MC that is entering school (since the game MC and the novel MC are in the same grade) around 15 and the novel’s brother around 27 or so years old which is way too old to be hitting on a pubescent teenager. Way too old.

[collapse]
Other that minor thing, I really like this novel. It’s not a 5 Star novel, but it’s pretty good and the translator is pretty good as well. So thank you translator-san!! <<less

lol I had good laughs.

MC was born as the (supposed to be) villainous noble lady, but she remembered her previous memories so she tried to deflects any death flag coming to her.

... oh well, at least she tried, yet looks like the Goddess of Fate shoved her middle fingers to MC.

... more>> In return, she keep amassing many allies (some of them are God-level entities lmao) as she faced against many adversities (mainly caused by her curiousity, negligence, and bad luck).

I get a Hachinan-vibes from this novel, but so far it still lacking depth in its world-building and plot. Nah, I'll just enjoy it as it is. <<less

I.... Wha?? This novel is rated so highly, I was expecting... More I guess?

Spoiler

we have a 20~year old something who apparently now sees little kids as being more mature than she is and that apparently she just lost all maturity she had. MC complained 8 TIMES about her talentlessness and powerlessness yet only twice we have seen her trying to remedy that, once before the start of the series and once after the first arc

in the FIRST 30 CHAPTERS! this MC somehow managed to make me think either she has mental development issues in her past life. Seriously, if you want to enjoy this series more than I did my advice is to forget the notion of "using the game information to her advantage". The MC become more bearable if you think of her as not a "modern world adult who reincarnated into another world" and as "A little kid who has loads of useless information that will never be used". Here is a short list of"shits that make me think this MC was never an adult and instead actually a baby" this novel has :

1. MC complained about her being talentless, only try to remedy it twice.
2. MC with the experience of an adult actually f*cking thought that to clear off misunderstanding is not to talk, but to make more misunderstanding, and when the other party makes it more confusing, just accept the outcome????.
3. When she knowingly know she does not want to get engaged, an adult might you know... Say it, instead, MC only complained, A side note here but let me tell you, even as a college kid I manage to come to the conclusion that complaining without taking any action is the height of s*upidity and incompetency.
4. MC first thought when she is confronted with a dangerous situation that might get her killed because of her own idiocy is not to think twice about her action, but to jump on board, (seriously? you know where your "esteemed guest" distempered to and your first thought is to take your safety net, jump into a dungeon of which you have no info, knowledge, and experience.
5. Your first response as an adult to meeting an unknown kid with a strange request of "follow me, let me show you something interesting because you let me see something interesting of yours, " (I am not kidding, this was the line the r*pey prince said after he observes MC golem) in an unknown land, unknown place, without no one knowing where you are is to comply to that request????
6. As you become older and older, you gain some level of control, so Forgive me, but I expect some level of maturity towards the MC, but then I read the line "I didn't tell the story of angel towards father, He is busy enough as it is with the ongoing event" I actually f*cking facepalm, because quite frankly, I saw the f*cking Angel, that Augustine from the second arc, the little shit, have some r*pey vibe, I am not gonna lie.

Long story short, This novel... Have potential, I can see that, MC could grow as a person (in this case... she could "regain" her maturity if she ever had one, I doubt it will ever happen), the world is vividly imagined for one, that's the only thing I could say about this actually, The mechanic of the spell, alchemy and more is good in its explanation and limitation, then again, Klaus the misogynistic (then again, this is JN, so I was not surprised to read it) that little sh*t awakening is idiotic at best and you will have a better time if you ignore the action.

EDIT: I have been informed that MC was never an adult, she was stabbed by a r*pey yandere (rapey) stalker from her past life

It doesn't follow the generic ln otome/isekai tropes. A dark fantasy with a harry potter-eque feel is a fresh breath of air to the genre that is already oversaturated. You'll be disapointed if your looking for romance but it's still worth the read

The setting is constructed thoughtfully and I do love the D&D inspiration here and there. I love the intrinsic way the author build their magic system too. More of an adventure then romance but that's definitely a refreshing take on the regular villainess isekai. My only complain is that I want it to be longer and never to end. Thanks for translating this and I'll keep reading!

It is one of the best novels I have read so far.

All charetkers have their role and nobody is excesiv.

Alot of back ground information and folk lore. I love that the protagonist does not know everything and needs to gather information.

My only critic is that I'm not that big a fan of the vampire plotline. But it is not that annoying.

I would really recomand it.

The story takes its time in world building and gives you info slowly step by step while continuing the story. The first 30 chapters is a little confusing and takes time to process but it's story is really good. I was just reading as past time and I was quite uninterested until the start of the second arc. I liked the story and the characters a lot. Only complain

Spoiler

The characters from north, i.e, Lucarant Chloe, are so shitty in imo. They're so self centred and muscle brained I can't even believe it. Do they think whatever they do is correct?! I can't stand some of the things they do. You suspect something? Beat then unconscious and retrain and question them untill you're satisfied they are innocent. Like wtf?! Someone has a bad fate? Kill him to free him. Like wtf?! Oof. Sorry this is becoming a personal rant.

[collapse]

Anyways the story is awesome and I love the character growth. It may seem like a generic otome game story but it's surprisingly dark. And there is minimal romance. Not because the MC is dense (although maybe a little) but because she suffered because of yandere lovers in her past life and has gotten a sort of trauma.

Spoiler

But I'm all out for Auguste×Erica. People like Harold more but I feel like they aren't doing Auguste justice. I mean look at their (Auguste and Erica's) dynamic. Calm and perfect on the outside, a little sadistic on the inside. Although if I'm being honest I like the interactions between Tirnanog and Erica and palug together best.

[collapse]

Anyways if you want to enjoy the story you got read it through and through till at least chapter 92. If you still don't like it, then it's not for you. There's hints and tidbits and a some foreshadowing in the early chapters which when realized later on make the story wa~aay more fun. But you might be overwhelmed by the lack of/surplus of info at some parts of the story. I'll admit that at sometimes I just wanted to throw my phone at the wall and shout wtf at the top of my throat because I couldn't get stuff (which was seriously frustrating) so I'll tell you this now, you've gotta be patient to enjoy this story. Or else this story ain't for ya.>_< <<less

One of the worst MC I have ever read about. She acts nothing like how a person that went though what she "supposedly" went though. Mostly makes you want to punch her face. I still gave it a try and it's definitely not my cup of tea.
