Description
My name is Lillie Rivale, 5-years-old. When I saw the “Sacred Machines” for the first time, I was so excited that I regained my memories of my past life. This world was the setting of the otome game I played then, and I became the villainess who becomes the rival of the main character. … But what I played was the bonus mecha action game. I don’t even know a thing about the main otome game. No matter what kind of ruinous end awaits me, it doesn’t matter if I become the strongest in the world, second to none! Father! Train me how to pilot a Sacred Machine! … Huh? It’s no good because I’m still a young child?? No way~

My Thoughts on Although I Was Reincarnated As The Villainess Of The Otome Game I Was Playing, I Only Bought It For The Bonus Mecha Action Game! “I Don’t Want The Guys, I Want Robots! Robots…!”
This title is a mouthful, but the premise definitely grabbed my attention! A villainess reincarnation story with a focus on mecha? Count me in. After diving into the available chapters, I have some thoughts.
First Impressions
The initial chapters are certainly intriguing. The core concept of the main character being reincarnated into an otome game she barely knows, let alone played, is a clever twist. Instead of being an all-knowing strategist, she's basically winging it based on familiar tropes, which creates a lot of potential for comedic situations. The focus on mecha, rather than the romance aspect of the otome game, is a refreshing change of pace.
What Works Well
The humor is definitely a strong point. The author does a great job setting up situations where the MC's misunderstandings and assumptions lead to hilarious outcomes. I found myself chuckling quite a bit at her antics. The concept of the MC just wanting robots instead of romance really makes this novel stand out. I also appreciate the good translation quality, which allows the humor to shine through.
Areas of Concern
While the premise is interesting, I do have some reservations. The biggest is that the plot appears to be secondary to the mecha and characters. I am also worried that the short chapter length can make the story feel a bit disjointed at times, and I'd love to see more descriptive writing to flesh out the world and the characters' emotions. Hopefully, as the story progresses, the plot will become more substantial.
Final Verdict
"Although I Was Reincarnated..." is a fun and quirky read that offers a refreshing take on the villainess reincarnation trope. The humor is well-executed, and the focus on mecha is a welcome change. While the plot may be a bit weak, the comedic elements and unique premise make it worth checking out, especially if you're a fan of mecha and otome game settings. I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this one to see how it develops.
