Otome Game Rokkushuume, Automode ga Kiremashita

Description

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

When I regained consciousness, I found myself in an otome game. I would quickly head towards destruction. It made no difference whether it was a good ending or a bad ending. I became the character known as, “Mariabell Tempest,” the daughter of a pedigree family. Despite possessing an unrivaled level of beauty, I had the worst personality, that of a villainess.

Nevertheless, I was conscious, but was unable to make any actions as I was completely in auto-mode. In the first playthrough, I was extremely flustered; on the second playthrough, I was despairing; by the third round, I had already given up. And now, the fifth round has already ended. For the sixth round, for some reason I had become a young girl and regained the ability to move and talk. Eh, what the heck is this?

I have read till the latest chapter (chapter 40) so I thought I could share a summary of what has happened so far.

... more>>
Spoiler

Chapter 1-39 is pretty much about her daily life from 3yr - 12yr. She meets 4 of the 5 otome game characters during this time. However, there isn't really any hint of romance between them. The guy that she has the most interaction with is the son of a servant instead.

Chapter 40 is the start of the junior high arc. The 5th otome game character has just appeared.

[collapse]

To summerise, up till chapter 40, it's pretty much an introduction to the different characters + world building. Nothing terribly exciting has happened so far, but the main character is the rationale and calm type with some adorableness, so it has been quite pleasing to read. But hopefully it will get more exciting and the main plot will reveal itself soon. <<less

This was surprisingly good -- a slightly more serious take on the usual "I got reincarnated as the villainess in an otome game" / "I got reincarnated as cannon fodder" genre.

Basically, the main character was forced to live five of her lives in "auto-mode, " unable to control her words or actions, playing out the villainess character until her death. When she suddenly is born again as her younger self, she carefully decides to live her life as differently from the game plot as possible, terrified that one day the... more>> auto-mode may take over again.

So far, this has been a decent slice-of-life without much drama or action. However, it's written and translated pretty well, so it isn't boring. I'm looking forward to when the characters grow up a bit more so we can start seeing some hormone-inspired drama. (As of chapter 47, the characters have only just entered middle school. No romance yet.)

Edit: Originally rated 4 stars, now rated 3 stars.

The pacing of this novel slows down a LOT once the main character enters school. It takes several chapters to get anything done (and we're not talking "romance and drama" here... it takes her 3 chapters just to choose a school club, 1 whole chapter devoted to buying pajamas, 1 chapter describing the setting for the camp...) It feels like a whole lot of words but nothing happening.

I'll update this review later after the story really develops, if I don't drop it first.

Update: Dropped because of very slow chapter releases and very little plot development. Each chapter feels like an info dump with very little action. <<less

Story: Pretty generic fare, gives me the feeling of a more serious Destruction Flag Otome. We start with the MC as a child, trying to ensure that her upbringing is as different as possible to make sure that she doesn't grow up into a spoiled brat. Just in case the dreaded "auto mode" ever comes back.

Translation quality: It is very literally translated, there are some basic grammatical errors, and it is sometimes hard to tell who is speaking during conversations if the sentence itself doesn't give context. Overall you can... more>> still understand the story, but the quality definitely hurts the impact of some scenes. A good editor would do wonders. <<less

Honestly after binging through all available chapters, the most I can sum up my feelings is a really big “eh”. I’ve read both worse and better, this story stands quite literally in the middle of all of them. Mari’s got a decent, down-to-earth head on her and that typically “not like other nobles” sensibility a la hanging with/being nice to commoners. Surprisingly, no ML has really come forth just yet, even with 90+ chapters however all the capture targets are really summed up with a big shrug. The most remarkable... more>> out of the male cast would really be the childhood friend and the “Prince’s best friend” target.

As for plot, the tag line gimmick of going through auto mode doesn’t really do as much as you’d think. Honestly, you’d think the story would then revolve around trying to find out what automode is, how it works and how to make sure it never happens again right? Instead it just makes her scared of the capture targets and that’s it. There’s a budding conspiracy plot against MC but it’s at the very very beginning stages. Other than it, it’s truly just MC’s daily life.

Would I recommend this? Sure, if you’re in a mood for a villainess story this surely isn’t a bad one. If you’re looking for something a bit deeper though, I recommend that you skip this one and keep searching. This one has a decent set up, just no true goal in sight. <<less

Has the generic plot so far but since it’s still one chapter not too sure how it will differ from the rest. Still, from the first couple of chapters it seems to be a good story, so my rating shall be a 5 for now.

P.S one thing that does differ is the part where she experiences five rounds before being able to "be" the character... coincidence? I think not.. lol

It's more to slice-of-life genre rather than 'the beautiful and rich villains ojousama who try to defy her destiny', so I'm sure some people will find it boring. However, I do find it pleasing, peaceful, and interesting. The pace is reaaaaalllyyy slow tho. Almost no romance, ... more>>
Spoiler

although I'm pretty sure some of the Targets (who she avoids with all of her strength) attracted to her. Also, I found it interesting that she most likely found love in her childhood friend who did not appear as Character in the Game at all.

[collapse]

If compares her to other 'villain ojousama who try to defy her destiny', MC is the type that moving from spotlight, leaves the stage, and quietly enjoy her life. One thing that kind of miss was how the Author portrayed the effect of Auto Mode to MC. Well, she is still terrified and her current personality is shaped because that incident. But, how can I describe it, it does not shown strong enough and will make you see MC as a coward instead of traumatized.

And Summer Camp. And Bravery Test. I don't know why the Japanese author really like the Japanese High School trope fit in Past Fantasy European world style so much (like Student Council is not enough). <<less

A generic series, nothing particularly interesting, very predictable plot, but it is good enough for a time pass. The one thing I find absolutely irritating is Mariabell's overreaction to capture targets. Even if one of them are in the same room as them she starts jumping around internally for no reason at all, although they don't do anything or even talk to her as a matter of fact save for a customary greeting I guess. I think she reacts to them a bit too much than necessary which is somewhat... more>> annoying. He wouldn't kill you just because your seat is next to his you know? Or just because you passed each other in the corridor or something like that. <<less

The story starts out well. It has a great premise but like most tome game novels it might have been better to just make it a fantasy/historical one instead. It starts out well but somewhere in the middle school arch it starts to get annoying.

In the sense, in the beginning she played the game five times and so she's prepared to deal with everything and along the way adapts to her new situation then suddenly the author decides that "no lets revert her back to the way she was at... more>> the very beginning."

She pays a lot of attention to unnecessary stuff like decor. The author also has a bad habit of repeating the something. She's absentminded, ok. She freaks out every time one of the capture targets get near, ok. She's bad at making friends, ok. But you don't need to repeat it over and over. We get it after a few times. When you over do it it get's tiring. But other than that the novel is quite nice. <<less

I meant to give it a 2/3 stars since the story is just painful to read (I'm sorry). The MC character is rather bland to me. The parents story which they divorced because of misunderstanding is really s*upid and I really hate the mother's timid character. I mean, you choose to make some space with your husband, it's understandable, I guess. But you ignore your daughter seriously?? And divorce your husband and leave your child at it, because the misunderstanding and the timid personality. Your husband sure is cold but... more>> he never treats you bad what I'm saying. She sounds like a coward and unresponsible to me. Sorry it just ticks me off. I tried to continue reading it since it's still okay and hoping for development but this is really slowpaced so I'm just going to drop it. <<less

This series is neither good nor bad. It is a relatively generic gentle vanilla series without any intense action, drama, fantasy, or comedy, but it has a dash of everything in moderation. The main character tries to deviate from the villain she was born as in order to prolong her life, which is pretty standard for this type of series. Her terror of what she perceives as death flags can be funny on occasion.

So far, the best part for me...

That development was actually cute and touching.

If you are looking for a light series without much suspense, then this one is a good option to kill time with. <<less

While this story is similar to most other Evil Villainess stories its less cheesy. Its a cute 'fix it' story with the MC avoiding her death flags. The MC feels more relatable since she's not stubbornly trying to stick to the scenario nor is she actively trying to fix things or trying to capture males. Her actions progress naturally as she just tries to live. Shes not obsessed with her past life or the fact that she's in a game.

Character development? Where is it? This novel isn't even plot-driven, it's filled with mostly meaningless dialogue that doesn't serve any purpose. The MC of this novel is very bland and somewhat inconsistent, her thoughts and logic are rarely, if at all, fully explained. Giving you no opportunities to connect with her character on a deeper than surface level. The background setting of nobility is never truly explored either, forcing you to come to your own conclusions based on assumptions. The writing style is also very juvenile and whimsical, you... more>> can really tell that the author doesn't have a concrete plan for 90% of the chapters and is just going with the flow. <<less

Maybe it's not fair of me to rate it so low because I didn't really get far into the novel. But honestly, the way it's written just makes it so tiring to read, especially after it switched from the original translator. I'm not sure if it's because of the translator or the novel itself, but either way it's unbearable.

Also, the MC is way too naive and the story supports it, but it's ridiculous. Like this author is definitely one of those "everyone, even the bad guy, is definitely a good... more>> person at heart". A couple's relationship that would have ended up in divorce just became "both sides misunderstood the other's feelings" and that, coupled with various other elements of the story, just becomes unbelievably dumb. <<less

This is interesting. Unlike the other reincarnation tropes, the MC is not op, which is more realistic. Her actions are well taught. She avoids flags because she analyzed how. I like the story so far. It is not exaggerated. I am looking forward to the future chapters, especially if she did end up with someone (ML) and who.

I'm dropping this novel at c14, it got too nonsensical for me but it might get better later based on some other reviews? I think the author clearly thought through the situations, but they weren't skilled enough yet to write the scenarios naturally. This causes lots of conversations to feel jerky - characters suddenly swap sides in an argument, or overcome years of trauma in an instant, or start harassing the MC for no reason at all. It's clear the author thought about what they wanted to happen, but they... more>> didn't think through how to get there or whether their destination actually makes sense from a character standpoint.

Spoiler
  • The MC is in her 20s, yet generally doesn't seem aware on the intricacies of social relationships much of the time.
  • The father supposedly really loves the mother, but he never shows it, never talks to her, tells her to get away from their child, ignores her in conversations, and apparently doesn't even protest when she divorces him? The father literally never loves the mother until the author decides to say he does, and then the father suddenly becomes a doting husband.
  • The mother supposedly loves the MC, but she never talks to her, refuses all the MC's requests to see her, and generally acts coldly whenever they do meet. The mother literally never loves the MC until the author decides to say she does, and then the mother suddenly becomes a doting parent.
  • The mother, after years of abuse and feeling out of place at home, decides after one conversation with the father that "I actually really love you too!" She didn't love him from the start, never interacted with him in their years of marriage, yet the author waves his magic wand and suddenly she's a passionate wife.
  • The MC decides to fire her tutor, who's a walking death flag. She suddenly decides mid conversation (after 3 chapters of buildup) that no, she actually wants the tutor to teach her. We never get an answer of why she changed her mind - she just does, and the conversation gets really confusion as she keeps swapping viewpoints.

The story is pretty generic. It was a good read in the beginning however the story kept on going in circle. No development, no changes, it's like reading a flat faced story (do u get what I mean?) it's so dry, nothing new, kinda frustrating that it's getting boring, so I think I'm gonna drop it for now. I can't actually grasp the MC's personality. She's basically just the storyteller for the plot, she doesn't have a strong existence. And she doesn't have a stand, once she said this... more>> and that, later on she did exactly what she said she won't ever do. Well, aren't all the isekai story like that but yeah I think this one actually ticks me off compared to the others. The quality of translations were okay but sometimes I can't really get what happening in the story, so much confusion maybe because of the sentence structure and words selection. <<less

I switched to the original site. This novel has 107 chapters and some extras.

It doesn't have much action or romance. In my opinion was boring. I just finished because I was hoping that would get better but it never did.

Too boring!

I dropped it at chapter 10 because the author reused the same gimmick for the two biggest conflicts that appeared in the early life of the character, and didn't even offer a satisfying conclusion.

Spoiler

So from the very beginning, the MC knows that part of the reason for her villainous personality was her parents' divorce. Since she doesn't know if the auto-mode will restart at some point, she wants to set things up so that even if it does she'll head in a good direction. Which means preventing the divorce. However, she immediately runs into an issue. Her mother refuses to see her, and the servants are also cold to her. She would go a whole week asking the servants to see her mother and they would tell her she was too busy. This creates a lot of tension, as we are left wondering what is going on.

Eventually she forces her way into her mother's room, asks her if she hates her, and the mother breaks down and tells her that she loves her and wants to see her. Sooo... why was she avoiding her for so long? Why were the servants cold to her? It's not explained. After that talk they then start spending time together. However, a new problem shows up: now it's the father that is cold to the mother, and the servants become cold towards him instead.

Without any clue as to why her parents are so cold towards each other, the MC decides to trick them into going to a picnic together and tells them that she will "run away from home" until they talk. The plan itself is entirely s*upid. This is a 4-year old. The father would just need to walk after her and she wouldn't be going anywhere. But everyone goes along with that farce and the father confesses to the mother that he fell in love at first sight, and used his position to push the marriage forward (since her house was of lower standing). That he always liked her. But since she was distant he was overcome by guilt realizing that he had not considered her feelings.

The mother confesses that she also likes him, and was distant because she felt guilty that he had had to marry her, who wasn't as beautiful or smart as other ladies around him, and so she thought he was forced by his family to love her. She really thought he hated her, despite him never once showing anything but kindness and trying to reach out to her repeatedly.

This time it seems she really does believe him though, and the issue is resolved in one afternoon. This is a couple that spent six years married, had a child, and yet would divorce despite both liking each other over 'miscommunication'. It's cheap and s*upid, and it's the second time in 10 chapters that the author used the same conflict and resolution.

[collapse]

Aside from that, while I respect the translator for the effort in doing the machine translation and clean-up, it still remains painful to read. If the writing was good I would stand the contrived plot, and if the plot was good I could endure the machine translation, but I can't stand both together. <<less

okay at first, it was interesting but after reading for a while, I keep getting this feeling that this story won't end well. Why? If you know bakarina (which is pretty popular) since it was the first isekai story I read I thought it was amazing BUT thinking about it now, it's pretty normal since there has been a lot of stories like that (and there are some who exceed it).

Basically, I can guess the plot. She will try to not get involve but make a harem of her own... more>> and thennn not pick someone in the or something BUT seeing as it is still ongoing the author is probably giving up on this story but just couldn't let it go.

Or author is receiving writer's block or just didn't want to continue writing anymore <<less

When I first started, it was decent. The plot itself was quite interesting, considering how she had re-lived the same life for around 5/6 times and it's different from the usual otome game reincarnation. But oh my goodness. I'm only giving it a 2 star because of the translator's hard work and efforts, but this novel. I just can't. Over time, I get really frustrated and confused at the way this story is going. I can't seem to pinpoint what exactly was she trying to achieve at that specific moment... more>> and the dialogues. God. I don't even know who's talking and what on earth are they talking about! This novel just isn't my forte but the plot, like I said, was indeed interesting. I would love to continue on reading this but I simply am not able to. <<less
