The MC reincarnates as the villainous character in an otome game after failing to take down the in-game heroine. She’s disgraced, heartbroken and expected to return home to face confinement. However with her new awareness, the MC is able to analyze the situation, realizing the inate good within the original character, and utilizing her strengths, resources and social relations to create an alternate path for herself. Extracting herself from the complicated and flawed love polygon of the game to focus on political, socioeconomic issues of the period through various alliances, political and economic reforms and business opportunities.
The original character was usually kind and caring, but due to losing her fiance, acts in a petty way towards the in-game heroine by spreading rumours. While the current MC is indifferent to love but smart and strong-willed, while maintaining the original care the character had for citizens and the poor. While this can be seen from their actions, neither have a truly distinct personality or any characteristics that make the MC stand out from other time travelling or smart leads and the character is quite standard.
Some side characters are introduced, and the servants the MC will use to implement the reforms are likely to be recurring. Aside from the male characters being handsome, there’s nothing distinct about them as they all fawn over the MC’s gentleness, their past debt from being rescued by her and how intellegent the current MC is.
The story starts with a similar concept to Chu Wang Fei and various other Chinese light novels, with a soul arriving in the body of a scorned woman and utilizing the character’s strengths and their own knowledge to carve a better future. However it quickly rises above the petty squabbles and revenge schemes that usually follow. Instead the MC takes an idealistic route of bettering society rather than focusing on romances, becoming a powerful figure within the new world. The plot and tone is similar to Maoyuu Maou Yuusha, as both aim to give two-dimensional and villainous NPCs depth and sympathy through exploring their backgrounds. The feeling it gives also resembles Wolf and Spice i.e. The explanations, economic focus and setting.
The story is not the most original and the plot is somewhat predictable, but the concept is still interesting and has potential. However since only 20 chapters are translated, we have to wait to see how the plot will grow, and how they handle the challenges they face.
1. The sheer amount of benefits and resources the MC has (but conveniently failed to notice due to being blinded by love) makes it too easy to make a turn-around. Simply by making use of what’s in front of her, she could’ve improved her future is several ways. The original losing due to a petty scheme and failing to notice these things (but managing to set it up for the MC) seems almost ridiculous.
2. The use of modern knowledge on businesses and government structures is expected, however when the story becomes too specific with its schemes (and the shock of various side characters) and too ambitious in the breadth of industries changed, it becomes arrogant and overbearing. Just because it’s a shocking idea for the period the game is set in doesn’t mean readers in modern times will be impressed (i.e. OMG this thing called chocolate is just too good, how creative and original – not so much for us) while completely disregarding the knowledge and skills available at the time i.e. Money lenders existed and acted as banks so it’s not like it’s a completely new concept.
3. Use of multiple POVs. The story is about the growth and experiences of the MC after her fall from society. Most of the actions and changes are brought on by her while the supporting cast merely carries it out. Using their voices is just repeating or explaining what the MC has already done, making the story over the top with all the praises, and repetitive (she’s kind and smart, we get it). TBH you can just skip the change in POV – the only one worth reading was where her father mentions that he does care about the MC’s feelings.
4. Characters – as mentioned above, they’re all very generic and flat in terms of personality, tone and methods. Even if the author inserted weird quirks, it wouldn’t make them feel realistic or relatable. The MC is near 'perfect' and her personality has no room to grow, and even the people the original body wronged were evil or sinister, so the MC can do no wrong regardless.
and I was screaming silently like "come on!! Be more open to him! Love him!"The current translator was not so bad, but I prefer the previous translatorThumbs up and keep translating for this ungrateful reader aka... more>>
