Description
I transmigrated and became the villainess in a reverse harem game. The way back home? Become the villain, threaten the protagonists. I followed those instructions to a T, and returned to my original world. Three years later, back in my own world, I woke up in the game again. ‘This is insane. I saw the ending! Why is this happening to me!’ “Did you think you could betray me and be happy? You’ll suffer just as I did.” …Now that I’m back in the game world, the male leads won’t leave me alone. I tried so hard to get back. “Why did you have to wake up?” “It’s amusing to see you cry.” “Go back. I can just bring you back again.” “Beg. You never know, I might just save you.” But… are you sure you all hate me?

My Thoughts on Confined Again By the Male Leads
"Confined Again By the Male Leads" certainly presents a unique premise: a system administrator transmigrating into an otome game with a reverse harem of, shall we say, intense male leads. I went in expecting a dark romance with yandere tendencies, but what I found was… complicated.
First Impressions
The tags immediately grabbed my attention. European ambience, female protagonist, and, of course, the "male yandere" tag. I was prepared for obsessive love and possessive characters, but I quickly realized this novel leans heavily into the "dark" side of that equation.
What Works Well
The female protagonist is undoubtedly the strongest aspect of this story. She's clever, resilient, and resourceful, constantly fighting to survive in a world that seems determined to make her miserable. I found myself rooting for her, admiring her strength in the face of relentless adversity. The author does a great job of portraying her internal struggles and her determination to overcome the obstacles thrown her way.
Areas of Concern
Here's where things get tricky. The male leads are... problematic, to put it mildly. The line between "yandere" and outright abusive seems to blur frequently. Their possessiveness manifests in ways that are less romantic and more akin to psychological torture. The narrative seems to revel in the protagonist's suffering, which can be a difficult pill to swallow. While I appreciate a morally grey character, the male leads' actions often felt irredeemable, making it hard to invest in any potential romance. I struggled with the constant barrage of negativity and the lack of genuine affection shown towards the protagonist.

Final Verdict
"Confined Again By the Male Leads" is a challenging read. The strong female protagonist is a definite highlight, and the premise has potential. However, the problematic portrayal of the male leads and the constant focus on the protagonist's suffering make it a difficult recommendation. If you're prepared for a dark and potentially triggering story with little to no romance, then you might find something of value here. Otherwise, proceed with caution. I'd give it a tentative 2.5 out of 5 stars, primarily for the strength of the female protagonist.
