My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom!

An isekai manga about a high school girl who’s resurrected as the evil rival in her favorite otome game.

This was pretty alright overall. The series still suffers from a lot of typical isekai troupes, like the endless self conversations held by the main character to give exposition about the situation they’re in.

I did like how they set up that Catarina must focus on these things because otherwise she will end up being exiled or killed. It adds a sense of urgency to her mission to try and change her relationship with all the handsome male heroes and her eventual meeting with the true heroine of the game. But of course her actions are slowly changing from the original narrative of the game and making her the object of affection to all so I guess the troupe of over-powered reincarnator still stands.

An English version will be available from Seven Seas Entertainment this summer and an anime adaptation has been announced.
