Not what I expected at all for a reincarnated into an otome game as a villain story。 Definitely a slow burn。 First novel focuses more on the world building and introduction to the heroine。 It doesn’t delve much into the other characters at all except for maybe near the end。 Plot seems to be more economic and political based and while it sounds boring it definitely is not。 Everything is set up so far that you just want to root for the MC。 Will definitely be continuing the series。 Also the art for Not what I expected at all for a reincarnated into an otome game as a villain story。 Definitely a slow burn。 First novel focuses more on the world building and introduction to the heroine。 It doesn’t delve much into the other characters at all except for maybe near the end。 Plot seems to be more economic and political based and while it sounds boring it definitely is not。 Everything is set up so far that you just want to root for the MC。 Will definitely be continuing the series。 Also the art for the novel is gorgeous！ 。。。more

Like so many isekai novels， the book starts with Iris， the Duke's daughter， remembering her life as a tax accountant in Japan， one who died due to an accident and she is now the villainess of one of her many dating games in a medieval-like European world。 Unlike most， there is no combat， no magic， just character and kingdom development and well told story about that much more is going on behind the scenes of her favourite game told mostly from her perspective with a few switches here and there。 Like so many isekai novels， the book starts with Iris， the Duke's daughter， remembering her life as a tax accountant in Japan， one who died due to an accident and she is now the villainess of one of her many dating games in a medieval-like European world。 Unlike most， there is no combat， no magic， just character and kingdom development and well told story about that much more is going on behind the scenes of her favourite game told mostly from her perspective with a few switches here and there。 All good things in my opinion。My one point of critic is that IMO it is a tad too optimistic about people surrounding Iris， no bad apple， and all very willing to accept big changes without protest。 There is ample of corruption， just not in her direct surroundings。 The result was that at times it felt a bit preachy。 Lets just assume Iris， her mother and father are excellent judges of character and leave it at that。 It does not distract from the story and I know things will not stay this easy since I did read the manga。If you like political intrigue （mostly in future parts although there are hints sprinkled throughout the book - which is the biggest difference with the manga where this much more important aspect only shows up in later parts） with a dash of kingdom development （the focus of this part） then this is the book for you。 I certainly really enjoyed it and I am looking forward to the next part。 。。。more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 It's so good！ The main character and the male lead （he has to be， right？） go so well together。 All the concepts Iris brought in because of her past memories were explained so well it was like an economics textbook I actually enjoyed for once。 Her interactions with everyone were really nice to read too， and especially her brother， Berne， was interesting to see。 And the art！ The art is so good， wow。 It's a bit fast-paced and I would've preferred a bit more fleshing out of the new systems they intr It's so good！ The main character and the male lead （he has to be， right？） go so well together。 All the concepts Iris brought in because of her past memories were explained so well it was like an economics textbook I actually enjoyed for once。 Her interactions with everyone were really nice to read too， and especially her brother， Berne， was interesting to see。 And the art！ The art is so good， wow。 It's a bit fast-paced and I would've preferred a bit more fleshing out of the new systems they introduced （for example， troubles with getting the census， or problems with setting up the academy， or even the embezzlement problem- I would have greatly enjoyed a diversion into what was done there） though I think how it is now is quite great as well。 Especially since Iris takes on a more manager role for the later stages for her projects， so it makes sense that there wasn't a lot of explanation on it， but it would have been nice to see maybe how Sei handled his project， stuff like that。If anything it just felt a tad too smooth-sailing， but it still overall made for an enjoyable yet intriguing book。 A strong 4。5 stars to begin with。 Can't wait for the next volume！ 。。。more

Great！I've read the manga adaption previously so I knew what to expect but still experiencing the novel for this amazing series was worth it！ I love the protagonist and how she approaches things and the artwork is top notch！ I didn't realise the artist is the same as the Crimson Empire manga and it's great to see their work again。I'm excited for the next volume and plan to also pick up the physical edition to re-read。 Great！I've read the manga adaption previously so I knew what to expect but still experiencing the novel for this amazing series was worth it！ I love the protagonist and how she approaches things and the artwork is top notch！ I didn't realise the artist is the same as the Crimson Empire manga and it's great to see their work again。I'm excited for the next volume and plan to also pick up the physical edition to re-read。 。。。more

Honestly， this is one of the most disappointing reads so far。 Stagnant romance development and the story mainly focuses on her achievements in bringing economical and political change。 Which， by the way， gave me a lot of headaches。 I seriously feel like I'm reading an economics and history book。 Honestly， this is one of the most disappointing reads so far。 Stagnant romance development and the story mainly focuses on her achievements in bringing economical and political change。 Which， by the way， gave me a lot of headaches。 I seriously feel like I'm reading an economics and history book。 。。。more

Esta ya ea la segunda vez que leo este libro de la serie que es la historia y sigo amando la historia tanto como la primera vez que la leí。Esta no es la típica novela de reencarnación en la que la protagonista se convierte en "la villana de un juego Otome" y decide cambiar su final; está novela inicia cuando el juego ya terminó， es decir cuando la villana ya está en el final， cuando su prometido la dejo por la protagonista。 El compromiso de Iris con el segundo principe del reino Ed es roto。 Iris Esta ya ea la segunda vez que leo este libro de la serie que es la historia y sigo amando la historia tanto como la primera vez que la leí。Esta no es la típica novela de reencarnación en la que la protagonista se convierte en "la villana de un juego Otome" y decide cambiar su final; está novela inicia cuando el juego ya terminó， es decir cuando la villana ya está en el final， cuando su prometido la dejo por la protagonista。 El compromiso de Iris con el segundo principe del reino Ed es roto。 Iris despierta en el momento de su juicio y antes que pedir disculpas por los "malvados actos" que ha hecho mantiene su orgullo。 Siento que eso dice mucho de como es la protagonista。Este primer libro sirve como introducción a los personajes; da un buen vistazo de como es Iris y sus amigos/sirvientes y empieza a cambiar el mundo en el que ella se relaciona debido a que ella es El Representante del Señor Feudal y decide mejorarlas condiciones en las que viven los de su feudo。Los capítulos de está novela son del 1 al 31。 。。。more

Currently， I loved the 'reincarnation/teleported' story。Although the opening is the same for another story （the MC got bad ending from Otogemu）， She's made good development for the story not only romance （what's you expect from Shoujo Story？）， we got political， merchant-negotiation progression。 Oh， I love smart MC。Yes， the story and the conversation was hard for my brain but I just loved it。 Waiting for development relationship with 1st prince tho。 Currently， I loved the 'reincarnation/teleported' story。Although the opening is the same for another story （the MC got bad ending from Otogemu）， She's made good development for the story not only romance （what's you expect from Shoujo Story？）， we got political， merchant-negotiation progression。 Oh， I love smart MC。Yes， the story and the conversation was hard for my brain but I just loved it。 Waiting for development relationship with 1st prince tho。 。。。more

なろう網站出來的女性向転生悪役令嬢小說。不過在悪役令嬢的小說裡面，算是在台灣比較有名氣一點（可能是因為之前西洽有一串滿長的討論串？）以我個人來說的話，我覺得這個故事用一句話形容就是「ご都合主義的な復讐劇」。雖然我之前看漫畫的時候，就覺得很ご都合主義，但是看了小說之後覺得「不！這其實就是女性向的爽作吧」www到底為什麼女主角收養的小孩人人都是高手，還有國家的人才都在他家，這樣子恢復前世記憶之前還可以把一手好牌打到全輸光，某方面來說也是才能。還有爸媽無條件的站在女主角這邊譴責弟弟這點也超不合理的，我覺得這個世界腦子清楚的爸媽很少，不管小孩做什麼事情，大部分的爸媽都會選擇原諒，所以這段描述超沒真實感的。不過以娛樂方面來說，看到二王子滿臉大便還滿爽的。雖然第一集的收在回歸社交界之前。

This is one of the more well written light novels I've read in the past month or so （ during my period of complete obsession with reading this genre ） it's a fun read that starts light but gets pretty heavy as the plot progress。The story goes that the protagonist plays an otome game -pls don't ask me what that is and just Google it- until the sun shines。then she goes to work and gets herself killed in a car accident，sucks right？ Well she wakes up and finds herself in the game she was playing the This is one of the more well written light novels I've read in the past month or so （ during my period of complete obsession with reading this genre ） it's a fun read that starts light but gets pretty heavy as the plot progress。The story goes that the protagonist plays an otome game -pls don't ask me what that is and just Google it- until the sun shines。then she goes to work and gets herself killed in a car accident，sucks right？ Well she wakes up and finds herself in the game she was playing the night befor，only the wasn't the main character but the goddamn villain -the fiancée of the main love interest- and the time she wakes up to is the ending of the game where the "villain" A。K。A her gets humiliated then sent off by her father to become a nun （yikes） 。But our lovely protagonist， using the knowledge of her past life and "common sense" -haha。。get it。。yea。。- gets herself out of that sticky situation。and starts to live the life she has now to its fullest，trying to bring prosperity to her country and its people。The main character -iris- is both smart and lovable，which is pretty tough thing to pull off in a light novel。though she can sometimes come off as too perfect and lot of the things she can do because of her past life's knowledge is a bunch of bullshit，but these issues are minor enough that I'm willing to ingore them for the sake of enjoying my time。Also having a clear love interest is kinda refreshing。seeing as most of theses stories tend to keeps the end goal as ambiguous as possible。Some plot twists can be seen a mile away while others gave me the literal chill when hey were revealed。All in all 。pretty damn good ｡+ﾟ。。+。（´ω｀*）♪♪Tl;Dr it's a pro capialist message wearing a dress。read if you find this sentence intersitng 。。。more

I've read Common Sense etc。 via an online fan translation。 Actually， I first encountered "Accomplishments of a Duke's Daughter" as an English-Language manga， and then went looking for a text version online。 It's been fun to read。 The characters are engaging and there's a real story being told。Descriptions of CSDD tend to be misleading about what it's about。 The scene-setting is appropriate for a romance: The protagonist finds herself in the medeveloid world of her dating sim， only instead of bei I've read Common Sense etc。 via an online fan translation。 Actually， I first encountered "Accomplishments of a Duke's Daughter" as an English-Language manga， and then went looking for a text version online。 It's been fun to read。 The characters are engaging and there's a real story being told。Descriptions of CSDD tend to be misleading about what it's about。 The scene-setting is appropriate for a romance: The protagonist finds herself in the medeveloid world of her dating sim， only instead of being the romantic lead she previously played in the sim， she is the antagonist - the girl who bullied the heroine and lost and is now about to receive her comeuppance。The protagonist （and the author） walk away from that trap in the first chapter。 The story becomes the story of Iris （the protagonist） taking advantage of her position （and her knowledge of our world） to improve her fief and make people's lives better - within the context of a society in which she has more enemies than she realizes。The fief-improvement plot is shallow， because it depends on development being easy。 Iris knows， from our world， what a bank is， so she tells people about banking and they exclaim "good idea！"。 In fact， banks go back a long ways。 FAILED banks go back a long ways; it's easy to get it wrong。 It's easy to get land registration wrong - a lot of modern countries are still working on it - and a common failure mode is that the land winds up registered to the well-connected。 A lot of modern countries get public education wrong too。 On a more-frivolous note， I looked up the history of chocolate-making， and milk chocolate turns out to be a genuinely-hard problem。 My general point is that Iris's successes are improbably easy: Technical， social， and political obstacles are ignored。On the third hand， that's kinda-okay， because CSDD isn't really about Iris improving her fief and the lives of her people either。 It's an important subplot， but in the grand sweep of the story， the main questions are "Who will marry whom？"， "Which faction will prevail？"， "When and how will a war break out？" 。。。more

I read this volume through a rough-around-the-edges English fan-translation and enjoyed it a fair bit。 This story has an interesting premise and perspective; the protagonist is a Japanese female accountant who awakens， after having died young， as Iris， a female noble and bully-type character from an otome game right in the midst of her end-game comeuppance。 Iris retains her personality and memories from the 16 year old Iris and the 30 year old anonymous accountant both and does her utmost to cap I read this volume through a rough-around-the-edges English fan-translation and enjoyed it a fair bit。 This story has an interesting premise and perspective; the protagonist is a Japanese female accountant who awakens， after having died young， as Iris， a female noble and bully-type character from an otome game right in the midst of her end-game comeuppance。 Iris retains her personality and memories from the 16 year old Iris and the 30 year old anonymous accountant both and does her utmost to capitalize on this in order to gain freedom and political power。Iris is a strong character who uses her vast knowledge， intelligence， political ties and hard work to produce positive changes where she can。 She is aware of the consequences of her actions as a woman of great influence。 However， at least in this volume， she almost felt untouchable to me - she never failed to achieve something she set out to do and she never encountered any significant danger or difficulty。 Also， no-one seemed to question how she "invented" multiple kinds of goods， services and practices。 I hope that this will begin to change in the following volumes as currently Iris is a little too perfect。There are a surprising amount of supporting characters in this short novel but only a few really stand out。 Thankfully those characters that do stand out leave a strong impression。 A number of sections in the story are told from a side character's point of view and （much like the characters themselves） these are a bit of a mixed bag， with some view changes not really expanding much on the story and others being important to understanding the social connections and political factions of the Kingdom。 It was definitely fun seeing an alternative viewpoint on the typical naive， too-good-to-be-true otome game protagonist！ I am looking forward to seeing the long-term consequences of her ill-thought-out ideas and will be continuing on with the series to see if my predictions pan out。 。。。more
