So the story is basically just author ridiculing how a s*upid heroine going for romance or harem flag and a dummy villainess who makes a lot of business from her past knowledge.

The thing is EVERYONE KNOWS how this is usually physically impossible that's the reason why some people like it cause it's interesting to think so. Putting them in a realistic scenario is fine so long as you also make it also realistic. However what this book just did is just insert these very idealistic stereotype characters that doesn't exist and mock them for being unrealistic, and so all I can feel from the story is this "I'm better than you" vibe as it compare itself with inexistent concepts.

And before you call me out saying they are realistic, can you honestly tell me there will be a person in real life upon realising they are the heroine in an otome game, would go hunting for the characters openly and shouting about the game? I'm not saying no one would take advantage of it, but I don't think they be anyone foolish enough to announce to the world they're courting different love interest right? At most those who will use it will probably be the scheming type or the white lotus type (by that I mean deny but still tries to raise flag). And that's not talking about how could they remain childish despite having live for how long now they are in their second world. Honestly, the only time I think this is possible if the person is still a child who isn't aware of what's exactly happening or mentally incapacitated by then I feel more pity they can't get the proper treatment there than ridicule.

Then with the villainess and her business. I don't think the author knows what employing administration means? Like I get it business is very hard to do, and managing multiple of them is hard. But the thing is that's why you hire people to do it, this is especially true for GENUINE entrepreneurs, obviously what they have is only their invention, as to whether they will skyrocket or not depends on administration too. The villainess is from a duke and you're telling me they couldn't find any capable person to do it? Or even partner up with veteran businessmen? So much for being realistic. 🤦‍♀️

Emilia also had the advantage of having her previous life's memories but she didn't want to use her knowledge blindly because she knew even in her previous life she wasn't expert at it.

Alicia was different. She was bold enough to use her previous life's knowledge to build numerous businesses but then reality slapped her hard. Her businesses failed one after another. Alicia's ideas were actually quite good but she lacked of perseverance and patience. She should take her time to do research before building her business but she chose to blindly poured money into her businesses without proper preparation. That's why she failed in the end.

ML turned to be a complete yandere. Maybe he was already too frustrated because Emilia didn't love him back and easily proposed to cancel the engagement several times.
