Description
On her seventh birthday, Lilia, the daughter of a Duke, remembers something terrible. She’s been reincarnated as a villainess in an otome game. In the game, she was a queen candidate that ab*sed her power, but in the end—after all her wrongdoings were exposed—she was condemned. I want to break this death flag somehow! She insists on getting engaged to Clark, the son of a frontier count before she’s betrothed to the first prince. But what she didn’t realize is that Clark was a potential capture target…a tsundere who has grown up to be a splendid yandere. This is the story of Lilia—who believes that this world is an otome game—and Clark, who tries to fulfill her wishes.

My Thoughts on Only She Thinks This World is an Otome Game
"Only She Thinks This World is an Otome Game" is a fascinating, albeit slightly unsettling, one-shot that definitely left an impression. It's a quick dive into the mind of a villainess who simply wants to enjoy her privileged life and avoid the dreaded "otome game" scenarios she anticipates. What unfolds is a story that's both darkly humorous and genuinely creepy, making it a memorable read.
First Impressions
Initially, I was drawn in by the protagonist's refreshingly honest and self-serving desires. Her blatant refusal to embrace the typical "noble sacrifice" trope was a breath of fresh air. It’s always interesting to read about a character who understands and appreciates the benefits of her position, rather than immediately rejecting them for the sake of some perceived moral high ground. The premise is intriguing, and the writing style is generally well-executed.
What Works Well
The biggest strength of this story lies in its subversion of expectations and the characterization of the male lead. The plot twist regarding his manipulation behind the scenes is genuinely shocking. He's a yandere, and the author doesn't shy away from portraying that side of him. I also appreciated how the story highlights the female lead's naivete, creating a compelling dynamic between her and the ML. The pacing is excellent for a one-shot, and the plot moves along quickly, keeping you engaged from beginning to end.
Areas of Concern
The only real issue I encountered was the formatting and punctuation used to convey the male lead's yandere nature, especially in his POV at the end. It made some sections difficult to decipher and detracted from the overall reading experience. It felt a bit over the top and ultimately unnecessary.

Final Verdict
Despite its minor flaws, "Only She Thinks This World is an Otome Game" is a worthwhile read, especially if you enjoy dark romance with a yandere twist. The female lead's perspective is engaging, and the male lead's hidden depths create a sense of underlying tension. Just be prepared for some unsettling revelations and a potentially creepy ending. I'd recommend it for a quick, thought-provoking dive into a twisted otome game world.
