By the sixth or seventh volume there's quite a bit of yuri subtext between Aria and Elena, which really reaches a fever pitch in chapter 166 of the WN. There's never anything overtly romantic, but some of the scenes (e.g. Aria only bothers to learn the male part of a dance) are pretty suggestive.

The author is great at writing crazy characters, although it really takes a while for this to start becoming clear. Carla Leicester, who's the last of the otome game villainess characters to appear, is totally batsh*t insane in the best way possible. She's completely in love with Aria, and thus desires to kill Aria and be killed by her. And the fake heroine pretending to be Alicia Melrose is also wonderfully mad. It's not just that she's using the cheat knowledge of the otome game to seduce men — she'll do anything to become a successful "heroine" and happily risks her life in order to raise flags and increase affection points.

the reincarnated sorcerer woman is trying to take over MC's body if that is a little reason, the old lady at the orphanage? She might bring HUGE trouble to the MC as she SOLD MC to a noble, I don't know what to say, as for the drunkard it is his fault for finding trouble for MC, they were in a somewhat lawless zone called the slums, if MC didn't kill him who knows what he will do probably kill the MC as he was already trying to stab the MC with the broken bottle, and as for the bandits do you even a need a reason to kill them? Unlike wuxia MC where MC "let" enemies live and make troubles again in the future this is much preferable

s*upid cliche villainess thought process, "compelling force" if it really existed would this so called "compelling force" allow for the MC to get killed even before the story began

A reincarnated woman spent years on the game world and then tried to take over the original heroine's body even though this woman wasn't really competent as a sorcerer but somehow could do it. Anyways the heroine kills her but not before absorbing lots of memories and 'maturing' from them (although the maturing part is mostly her killing ppl for little reason like a Wuxia Mc). The villainess is also a reincarnated person but she appeared for half a chapter so far

I don't remember the details, but, she : Achieve rank1 at the age of 7. Achieve rank2 around age 8. Achieve rank3 around age 10. Achieve rank4 age 11. And then achieve rank5 age 13.

She also always fight and defeat opponent that have higher rank and stronger than her. Her latest feat is killing rank7 evil dragon while being rank5, albeit with the help of party.

Her pink-gold hair is noticeable, so she used ash to cover her hair at the beginning. Later, she used illusion magic to make her hair ash-colored. So from early on, she got called 'ash-covered/ ash crowned'. Later on when her beauty is noticed, it become 'Ash covered princess', and later it become 殺戮の灰かぶり姫 'ash covered princess of slaughter' / satsuriku no haikaburi-hime.

The mtl sometimes translate this as cinderella of slaughter. I got confused, but apparently cinderella means 'ash covered girl', so the translation is not far. Indeed, I wondered if author want this connection to cinderella story.

Other nickname:

Moon Rose. This is used by spirits and phantom beast to call her. Apparently her pink hair is inherited from ancestor, in which her ancestor got spirit blessing of Moon Rose. The one with this blessing will be immune to common sickness, and will have pink hair as the sign of blessing.

Desert Rose. She was called this in desert town, after annihilating one branch of local mafia organization.

Dragon Slayer. Acknowledged as the person who make the most contribution in slaying evil dragon by her party, she reluctantly accept this, but it has not been made public.

The gear of fate can't be totally avoided. Most of the cast must go to school, so of course MC also must go to school. MC doesn't like studying. And there is magic practical lesson, but the school banned her participation from the beginning. Because her power is overkill in school level. But that make general student population who doesn't know the truth, think that she is weak.

She will work as an assassin and her weapon of choice will reflect that.

1. 1. Touching the reincarnator's magic stone allows the FL to gain a prodigious amount of knowledge about the world and magic, but there's no corruption by the reincarnator's personality? Only the convenient information passed through, but none of the inconvenient stuff. How wonderful for her... It feels like the author really wanted to write a reincarnator novel, but without technically using the reincarnator trope.
   2. She gets to steal an awful lot of convenient tools from the reincarnator - lots of valuable books and a fair amount of money. Couldn't the reincarnator have, you know, not brought all this valuable stuff in her unsecured bookbag when going out to assassinate someone?
   3. (Heroine correction) The FL learns skills in a few days what takes most kids 3-4 years to learn, but she has more "concentration, " i.e. she can work on things for a couple hours at a time. Woop-dee-do, another ore-tueeee protagonist (technically not, but same difference here).
   4. We're told that Level 5 skill holders are nationally-recognized masters, while Level 4 skill holders are widely respected. You'd expect these are the late-stage bosses, right? Nope, the first guy she meets by the side of road is coincidentally a Level 5 skill holder, and OMG he's willing to teach her his skills? Yay! The next guy she meets in the slums is a Level 4 skill holder, and OMG he's willing to connect her to the princess and buy her thousands of dollars of equipment with no hidden catches!?! Sign me up, please!
   5. Her first big enemy, a bandit boss, supposedly fights against her for several hours until he finally collapses due to blood loss and exhaustion. For such an intelligent and accomplished bandit boss, you would have thought he'd think of something else after the first hour, you know?
   6. Back to that Level 4 skill holder guy, he gets a request for a princess' aid from a close friend. (Normal people) I should ask my trusted acquaintances to recommend me their children of around the same age. (Level 4 guy) I should look in the slums for a few weeks for the first child with decent strength, and recommend her 100% without checking her background or motives.
   7. Another reincarnator becomes the villainess. (Other novels) Maybe I should befriend the heroine, or stay away from the story, or find some peaceful solution as a moral, peace-loving Japanese schoolgirl. (This novel) IMMA KILL HER AND ALL HER FRIENDS!!!!!
   8. The heroine has some rather weird strength fetish. She takes her first job because a man stronger than her tells her to, she hates nobles but commits to a multi-year combat maid program just because she can get close to a woman stronger than her (and her time with said maid only lasted a few weeks), and she takes her third job because another strong man told her to. I get that she's still figuring out her life plan as a pre-teen, but I'm worried that she'll easily fall for a pyramid scheme if it's a "strong" person telling her about it.
   9. (Other novels) A 2x difference in combat strength is pretty tough odds, maybe we'll make that a final boss or something. (This novel) Even mini-bosses have 3-10x the FL's combat strength, but they're all idiots or something so they waste all their magic and stamina and blunder aimlessly into any traps the FL sets up. The author's good at keeping up the suspense, but when battles are literally "FL acts --> enemy is amazed but uses flashy move that wastes their stamina and magic --> FL dodges narrowly" over and over again I'm more concerned for the intelligence of the world itself rather than impressed about the FL.
   10. Traitors are apparently a dime a dozen in these organizations? People keep running away, slacking on their duties, or actively trying to betray their bosses. If it was once or twice, I'd understand that that's just the working world, but what did this world do to its people to foster such hatred towards hard work?

her journey cut short when one of the several reincarnated individuals intended to take over the MC's body.

The 2 best ones are Clara, a morally gray person that blackens because of obsession and love, you can feel her despair and witness her fall from grace, and Carla, a Villain that wishes to destroy the country that allowed her to be so mistreated until she meets the MC and wishes to beautifully die togheter with someone that understands her.

Started training at 7, becoming rank 1 in the first 3 months, rank 2 when she was between 7 and 8 years old, becoming rank 3 before 9 years old

for example Alicia/Aria not asking the master how she could have night vision level 2 when humans are restricted to lv 1, and how she could see magic particles instead of the more common "feeling them"
