Description
One day, Reine found herself reincarnated as Rene, the heroine of a grinding-based otome game that she had dropped in the past. Just when she thought her sparkling heroine life was about to begin, she discovered that Rene had been bullied at school and even jumped off a staircase. Um, that sparkling heroine life… isn’t it over before it even begins? What awaited Rene was a magic academy with a caste system based on academic performance and a messed-up event system, even referred to as a “shitty game.” Moreover, the current Rene was an F-rank with no human rights. She was already in trouble. That being said, this was, after all, a grinding game. As long as she works hard, her status would definitely rise up, and by talking to the capture targets, she could increase their favorability. Taking advantage of her strong mentality, she wants to enjoy her school life to the fullest, unlike her previous life which was filled with studies and work! She also wants to fall in love with a handsome man! But with an older brother whose thoughts she could never understand, the capture targets with explosive personalities, and unexpectedly venturing into an unpredictable route, Rene’s school life becomes increasingly chaotic. This is a romantic comedy of Rene’s journey.

My Thoughts on I Want to Fall in Love After Getting Reincarnated as the Heroine on the Verge of a Bad Ending, but My OP Older Brother Won’t Leave Me Alone!?
Okay, that title is a mouthful, but I dove into "I Want to Fall in Love…" with an open mind, ready for some reincarnation shenanigans. It's a blend of comedy, fantasy, and romance, and I was hoping for a lighthearted escape. Overall, I found it enjoyable, but with a few caveats.
First Impressions
The initial chapters are definitely intriguing. The heroine's journey from zero to hero (or rather, from zero to S-rank) is appealing. I appreciate that she doesn't start out overpowered; it makes her progress feel earned. The European-inspired setting and hints of magic also create a nice atmosphere. I was hooked by the premise of avoiding a bad ending in a world that seems determined to throw obstacles in her path.
What Works Well
The main character is genuinely likeable. She's described as good-natured and practical, and while she might have her "Bakarina" moments (a reference I immediately understood and appreciated!), her intentions are always pure. The story also has a good dose of humor, which keeps things from getting too heavy, especially considering the potential for dark themes related to the original storyline. The familial relationships, although complex, are a strong point. The doting older brother dynamic, while potentially problematic, adds an interesting layer to the story.
Areas of Concern
One thing that did raise my eyebrow was the brother's sudden possessiveness. It feels a little… off. I couldn’t help but question his motives, and I'm hoping the story delves deeper into the reasons behind his behavior. Also, some of the conversations felt a little forced at times, like the dialogue wasn't flowing as naturally as it could. But, that being said, it didn't detract too much from my overall enjoyment.

Final Verdict
"I Want to Fall in Love…" is a fun and engaging read, especially if you're a fan of reincarnation stories with a focus on character growth and avoiding bad endings. However, be aware of the potential for some potentially controversial plot points down the line. I'm giving it a solid 3.5 out of 5. It’s entertaining, but definitely not without its flaws. I'm curious to see where the story goes, but I'll be keeping a close eye on those sibling dynamics!
