It ended before the story even started. Really pointless read, we don't even meet the "rival" that is talked about repeatedly in every chapter. No idea what other people see in this story, it's just repetitive and ends without a single noteworthy event happening.

The protagonist awakens her past life memories when she's nine and becomes obsessed with the heroine. So far the story has been lighthearted and funny and I hope someone takes an interest in translating the rest of the story, since it is rather short.

The MC is pretty misguided when she awakens her past life memories and tries her best to overthrow the heroine. Acting as a villain doesn't really suit her and she just turns out to be ditzy and cute. A lighthearted read about her misconceptions on defeating the heroine she hasn't even met yet.

Gave me a good laugh reading this short story.

I know it's supposed to be fluff, but I just felt bad for the MC's desperation. She lives in terror that she isn't good enough, under the impression that if she isn't pretty enough/ smart enough/ skilled enough, she will not be loved.... and she's proven correct, when her fiance, who hated her in her past life, now finds her attractive because of an absurd level of effort. Since he doesn't spend even 1/10th that effort trying to appeal to her back, I'm left with a bad taste in my... more>> mouth that she should find someone else. <<less

It is quite fluffy and for many people who says it is rushed. Please notice there is a sequel story to this. I really enjoy it, it is simple and fresh.

Short, but cute. It's a sweet, light hearted read. It's definitely an interesting take on the noble villainess trope!

It was funny, lighthearted, interesting and different. A very short read yet kept you laughing and wanting more. Another otome themed story, but thankfully no harem or reverse harem. It was brilliant none the less.

I really enjoy this story ??

After regaining her past memories and realised that she is in an otome game as a villainess that is fated for ruin, the 9 year old villainess started to relentlessly work hard in order to fight against her fate & her beloved fiance.

She never stop working hard to improve her self be it personality, beauty, academics, sports, social skills, life skills & others so that she could at least rival the heroine who she believe to be a goddess who is perfect in everything &... more>> overpowered.

It really is enjoyable to read on how the villainess work hard in polishing herself and fights with the heroine for her beloved fiance.

Well all ends well in the end

Spoiler

I actually pity the Heroine who was actually just a normal girl but had to put up with the overly delusions of the fMC of her.

She even been frequently admitted to the hospital due to overwork herself to meet fMC overly expectations ?.

There's a bit filler in the middle but I don't think it's a problem bcos it's just a short story anyway. <<less

This is a very short and casual story with 4 chapters. It is a typical otome-game setting with a loveable idiot MC.

You have the dense, firey female main character, who has recently realized that she is destined to be the antagonist who will lose to the perfect otome game heroine. Instead of avoiding the heroine, she dives into improving herself and becoming a lady who can defeat her.

This is a very fast-paced story with short chapters. The main characters' relationship is adorable.

However, I must warn you...... more>>
Spoiler

that there isn't a proper ending to this story. It ends abruptly in chapter 4 without even meeting the titular main character. I found the ending very unsatisfying without the resolution or payoff.

The translation quality is decent. There are a lot of small errors, but it doesn't take away from the story too much. <<less

It's so good that my main complain is that it's too short.

We got the cliche dumb villainess X crown prince once more. Sadly, not much sweet scene and we didn't get to see if all the training paid off. Hoping for more in the sequel, hehe!

Very refreshing, with likable characters. It's a break from the other reincarnated villainesses that pretty much just gives up right away.

I really enjoyed this story so much although it's just 4 chapters to read. This story is splitted into 2 different novels with similar title and this one is the prequel one.

Transmigrated into the otome game she played in her previous life, MC is destined to be a villainess in the future who is hated by her own fiancee. Determined to protect the one she loves (because his fiancee in the future will fall in love with the heroine), MC begins to train to be the best in appearance, academic,... more>> and also bearing with the help of her fiancee.

The prequel one is the story about MC's childhood with ML and her training to overthrow the heroine several years later. The story is stopped right before she enters the school so don't forget to read the sequel to read about MC's school life and also her showdown with the heroine. <<less

I quite like the protagonist, she's dense but lovable. It was a fantastic story but,

Spoiler

The ending was extremely abrupt. We didn't get to read about the Heroine and there was no sickeningly sweet fluff that gave you diabetes.
