Honestly, this is one of the most consistent character portrayals I've ever read in a light novel! You can clearly see that the MC's previous life dictates the way she lives her reincarnated life. Usually reincarnation novels have a more tepid, back-and- forth characterization. Something like: "minna-san, slavery is bad, okay? Let's take common knowledge from my previous life and change this world to be more like Japan nee~~. What? Polygamy?! You mean I can have 6 wives?!!!! Huh? What previous life? Japan who?"

And it's just so irritating to... more>> see a promising story/MC downgraded so the author can force along the story/deliver pointless fan-service. But this novel doesn't do that at all. The characters drive the plot and not vice versa. So the emotions are much more palpable and the situation feels so much more realistic (though still insane).

Curse this tiny tablet of mine, giving it 1 star when I meant to give 5! <<less

This novel is seriously painful to read... in a good way. Basically a girl reincarnate into the villain of a fantasy novel and decide to willingly walk through the villain route knowing it would lead to her destruction... all for the sake of her beloved Onii-sama. There is no comedy, no reverse harem, no light-hearted misunderstanding.

It's full blown heart-wrenching fest that would make you wish the MC would be just a little bit more selfish. If you're looking for a novel that would claw at your heart and makes... more>> you cry, this is it. <<less

Wow... A refreshing take on the usual reincarnation stories that really squeezes my heart. Even though I am a potato, I cry for the characters. Much sad

Very sorrow

Wow... what can I say about reading this series... Reincarnation is my favourite genre in LNs and wow this series was like a breath of fresh air.

Ok, the general blurb of this series is about a girl who died not by accident (truck-sama was busy) but she was sick. Her original life was centred in a hospital who can only dream about having a normal life- in her final moments, she wished to live like the MC of her favourite Novel. When she reincarnates, she realises she became the... more>> little sister of MC who was the main antagonist of her beloved novel.

Unlike most LNs that have the genre of Reincarnation or 'I-got-reincarnated-into-a-game-must-avoid-destruction-flags!' the MC of this series does the complete opposite. She welcomes the destruction flags this was because of her love (admiration) for the MC. I love how she's so easily understandable- you know her reason for doing things; this was the biggest driver for me to read this series.

Sadly, it seems that this amazing series was dropped or is on-hold. I hope a translator will pick this series up! <<less

I'll mention Death Flag Shows No Signs of Ending cz it's so popular and have similar premise where the MC were forced to be the villain. The difference is this one is darker and unlike death flag where everything still went nicely, everything in here is bleaker, things always end up wrong. Knowing that she's a sickly girl that died too young before reincarnated makes this even more hurtful to read. Her insistance to destroy her own self is just sad. And the author is smart for making me feels... more>> like there're hope and crush it with even greater sad reality.

Give this a try. If it feels too absurd, remember the fact that she's still a child and keep on reading for reasons justifying her actions. It's heartwrenching and addicting. There're depths in characters and inner monologue. It's not your typical easygoing JP isekai reincarnated. Keep on reading it, become my brother in arms, let's get depressed together. <<less

This is stupidly good so far. It's not the typical fluffy, cliche ridden experience one normally gets with the 'reincarnation into a fantasy world' trope. Character development actually happens!! Characters are developed and there are reasons behind characters behaving villainous. The story kind of feels like a more serious Avatar:TLAB. Also, the translation quality is fantastic.

Summary:
A story of a re-incarnated girl that wants to live a meaningful life, and does so by following the villain route of an otome-ish game she knew in her past life. This is all in order to help her favorite character, the brother of her re-incarnated self.

Opinion:
A heart-wrenching story of self-sacrifice of the re-incarnated girl and her choices, actions, and thoughts. She does it because she believes that it's still a game that she can change with her foreknowledge. Yet is readily becomes apparent that she can't and... more>> she furiously struggles against that fate.

This is done through chapters and parts of chapter that cover segments of her life. It allows for the reader to see the consequences of the choices she makes quickly, and makes you INTENSELY wish she survives through the end. Hopefully she does, but given the tags on this series, not likely. <<less

I read the machine translation and guess what? Horrible!!! The story MC who was given a second chance due to her strong wish with literally everything-power, authority, money, wasting her second chance for her brother who she doen't even know, and what's with the plot?! If she wanted she could have created a kingdom for magicians with much authority, but she want to follow a novel plot she read, not taking her second life seiously. The MC is blessed with invincible power but she wastes it by not training.... more>>

Spoiler

the MC is burned to death alive leaving behind a child under her brother's care

There's a girl. She reincarnated after she died. She, who died because of illness, thought how she cannot make anybody happy. So, after been reincarnated, she wanted to give a happiness to a person that she know would get hardships in future..... even if it means her destruction.
That's the premise of this story. Well, it's an antihero protag that use every thing she have to save her beloved person from dark experience. 'It doesn't matter if I become villain... 'she said. Her supposedly ideal ideology become crooked midway, because... more>> of some experience and conviction that she must do. So, prepare your heart. This story isn't about wish fulfillment, instead it's all about hardships and despair. <<less

Reading this story left my emotions in disarray. It's a twist to the usual reincarnation to an atome game. The MC reincarnated as the villainess who is the sister of the Protagonist of the game she reincarnated to. Coincidently her brother - the protagonist of the game - is also her favorite character, so after reincarnating her goal was to help her brother. However that made her mistreat him and cause a bad impression of herself. With that, angst and drama happen. T__ T

It's heart-wrenching yet addicting. Unfortunately, the... more>> updates are slow and irregular. Definitely Five-star <<less

I'm reading up to ch.4 and skipped straight to the ending/prologue. What's with this heart wrenching narratives and dialogues? I'll edit this when I'm more coherent, but... I totally didn't expect my emotion to be this mess. So many things I don't understand because my lack of Japanese comprehension skill, but I'm determined to read the chapters in between when I have time.

Love it! Frequently we see rebirth/reincarnation used as a crutch. (Is it really necessary to make a female MC from the 21st century so that she can be believably strong in a historical setting? Can a guy not think outside the box magically if he doesn't have high school physics and chemistry?)

In this case, not only is the rebirth intrinsic to the story, but the MC encounters actual *conflict* and *anguish* as she has to continually stay true to her villainess role. And then there's what happens... more>> when things don't go according to plan! I feel like I can see traces of the epic fantasy novel the original MC fell in love with as she's drowning in the tragedy of her new circumstances, from playing the role of a monster to living it, and I wonder how she will react as her original beloved story is warped beyond recognition.

Oh squee! <<less

My review may or may not change the further I progress especially since we're only 3 (long) chapters in. Furthermore, it's best recommended if you skim through my review if you want to dive into this without any hints of spoilers. As of 1/5/17, I've upped it to 5 stars.

Reincarnation has been a trending theme for the past few years, and this novel manages to get something that's been so often repeated and turn it into an enjoyable read. It's like seeing character tropes and seemingly generic characters written well,... more>> except this applies to the plot. The writing and translations are especially good, and the story moves at a very likable pace- neither too fast nor too slow.

The characters are, as far as I can see, likable from a writing point of view. The 'villains' of the first few chapters are written in a way that makes you dislike them in the way they're meant to be seen as a contrast to the villains I often find myself disliking because there's nothing to them. The heroine has a brothers complex that isn't cute-fied and the story is surprisingly dark with plenty hints of internal political and social class drama (which I have a long standing affection for.) There are references to her knowledge and the change-the-future! (For the better) trope which happens in nearly all reincarnation novels- whether the MC intends to change things or not- isn't occurring here. EDIT: In the recent chapters, it's apparent that there are now too many changes. If I had to chose between better and worse then it'd be the latter. Now that there are more important characters introduced, it's easier to picture the world as well as the twisted characters' relations to one another.

And yet, you can't help but wish this will end happily. The author seems to have a way with words that suggest some things may have change but make it just obscure enough for readers to be unsure of the future events. I personally think it won't, but I'm putting my bets on a satisfying ending, happy or not. All in all, definitely try it out when or if you have the time. <<less

It's amazing how the author wrote it in a steady tragic way. You can't even see a single ray of a happy end. It starts of with a neutral leaning on happy vibe then it just gets more and more depressing as the story progresses.

For those who came here looking for a generic reincarnated into otome game plot (coz honestly I chanced upon this when I was looking for said stories), you might as well steel your heart before reading this.

This is a novel that is not really fun to read... It will force you to embrace masochism. The MC's life is so tragic and heartbreaking because she's basically throwing herself (and this novel's readers) to a bottomless abyss of despair. The only thing motivating me to continue reading this story is that glimpse of romance between her and the ML (not really sure, but I assume the guy with wood magic is the main lead).

Plot-wise it's good, but really challenging to the heart. You'll surely need many bags of... more>> tissue. <<less

After reading the reviews, I was so surprised by how much it's being praised because I know a lot of good and bad web novels that are being bashed. This is probably the only web novel that has tons of praises in the top reviews.

One thing though, just from the premise and the comments of the people, I doubt my heart could take in the story of this novel, I could already feel the cracks just from staring at chapter 1 (mind you I'm still not reading it). That's why... more>> even though it seems I have found a very good novel after a long time, I have to passed on this one. I'm still recovering from "TOMORROW I WILL DIE, YOU WILL REVIVE" if I read this novel on top of that I don't think I'm gonna recover. <<less

This is a story about a girl who, even knowing about her own end, indirectly acts on her inner warm feelings for her brother by ostracizing him completely, ensuring the route to her destruction. The fallout that comes from her small rebellion of trying to end her brother's suffering at her hands early comes right back to bite her in the ass.

A really heart warming, really tragic story. It hurt so good. Epilogue spoiler:

One of the best story I have read, pity it keeps getting drop and the translations are so damn slow, its such a shame this series isnt getting more love

Just two words.

Code Geass.

Had the same effect as this novel. To make me cry very uglily. There are just some anti-hero novels that I just can't help but read it even if I know that I will just end up in a sad puddle of my own salty tears.

First of all, let me wipe my tears :')

The story is completely different from others. I actually like the MC character very much, and MC act realistically as she was once a fan of the story she transmigrated to. In order for everything to come into pieces, MC didn't waver and was willing to sacrifice herself.

Interaction between characters is almost nowhere to be found lol. However, I still enjoyed reading this.

It was enjoyable, but I think the translator has no will to continue the story, so I don't know... more>> whether it'll be a sad ending or happy ending (which I hope). There is this stray of light which I wanted to hold onto, I hope MC will be happy :) [And I want to read the story from 'protagonist' point of view] <<less
