Noblewoman Aileen D'Autriche suddenly realizes she's been reborn as the love villainess of the otome game her past life used to play, following 2nd Prince Cedric's public rejection of her for the "heroine" Lilia Rainsworth. Recognizing she's on the path to the bad end where she's killed off by the game's Last Boss/Demon King, the 1st Prince Claude, she decides on a daring gamble - Charm the Last Boss, Make Him Her Lover and Open Up A New Route for Herself.

Spoiler for Usual questions:

Is MC OP? - Not in superpowers. But she has OP-level determination, bravery and cheekiness. She won't take No for an answer!!

Is there snusnu? - No, this isn't 18+ WN.

Is there harem? - No. Only OTP with Prince Claude, but there are a lot of other handsome ikemen in the books.

More info:

The OTP is already set by the end of Vol 1/WN Arc 1.

Plot structure is like adventure of the week; each WN arc is its own adventure.
Vols 5-6 actually cover WN arc 5, the longest in the series.

The LNs have covered all the available WN.
Author says she only planned the writing up to Arc 5; she has to think about how to proceed with the series in the future.

とにかく第５部を完結させることだけ考えておりましたので、今後このシリーズをどうするかはこれからまた考 えますが、何かまた挿話を入れられたらなと思います。

５月末から３ヶ月、長丁場の連載にお付き合いくださったこと、本当に感謝しております。

アイリーンを見守ってくださって本当に有り難うございました！

引き続き応援のほど、宜しくお願い致します。

There's also a manga version too.

This came up many times when I searched for female MC novels

The OTP is too clear so it didn't interest me

In fairness most shoujo/otome WNs have rather clear OTP in mind, it's just when it will get there.

Otome Game Hametsu Flag/Bakarina is one where OTP is not clear (MC is quite clueless herself though).

I think part of this WN appeal is how assertive and stubborn MC is. Despite Claude's incredible magic power and overprotectiveness of MC, she isn't overly humble and submissive like the usual wallflower shoujo heroine. She'll go out to solve the problem herself, despite the risks involved. (Like the 3rd arc where Claude loses his memories and magic after being attacked, and MC vows to restore them and find the culprit because she loves him so much).

Spoiler for Real villainess spoiler:

Also "heroine" is real villainess. She was another otome game player who got isekai by Truck-kun into Lilia, and believes the world was made for her as a reward (something like Marie from Otomege Sekai wa Mob ni Kibishii Sekai desu). She wants to make her own harem ending by exploiting the game knowledge routes, and when MC gets in her way she becomes more evil and delusional in trying to get rid of her.

^That heroine should be the real MC

I wonder when we will have an actual villainess as villainess

^Not too many actual villainess WNs out there, I think. Most are heavily dependent on the "not-actually-evil" template, plus I don't know if the target audience likes those type of characters.

Closest I can think of is アルバート家の令嬢は没落をご所望です/Albert Ke no Reijou wa Botsuraku wo go Shomou desu/Daughter of Albert House Wishes For Ruin, where MC tries her best to be villainess. But because she is a fundamentally good person, everyone just thinks she's a kindhearted tsundere.

I pick up manga based on this series because I needed something to feel time between weekly dose of Bakarina, and it was a nice surprise with determined female lead. I also like that it is not typical wishfulfilment isekai.

Spoiler for spoiler:

Instead of being "rewritten" or something similar she basically is still a person she was

Personally I prefer manga art style than LN style, and I hope it will get anime.
