The Me who was Reincarnated in the World of an Otome Game Changed the Scenario without Realizing It.

My Thoughts on The Me who was Reincarnated in the World of an Otome Game Changed the Scenario without Realizing It.

First Impressions

Okay, so I dove into this one-shot with a craving for something sweet and quick. The title alone promised a fun twist on the reincarnation trope, and the "otome game" setting definitely piqued my interest. I was ready for some lighthearted romance and maybe a bit of meta-commentary.

What Works Well

The story definitely delivers on the "cute" factor. The core concept of a guy reincarnated into an otome game world and inadvertently changing the plot is charming. I found the romance to be sweet, if a little underdeveloped. I think the author did a solid job of creating a simple, clear-cut narrative that's easy to follow, which is important for a one-shot. The MC is also a pretty cool character, not in the typical overpowered protagonist way, but more in a "lovable mob character" kind of way.

Areas of Concern

I have to admit, I did find myself a little bothered by the MC's initial actions. Some of the early events felt a bit rushed and his character's choices didn't always sit right with me. There were moments where I questioned his maturity and decision-making, especially during the engagement cancellation scene. I also felt that some of the world-building elements, like the dragon-fighting backstory, felt a bit random and disconnected from the main plot. The pacing felt a bit off at times, jumping between time periods without much transition.

Final Verdict

Overall, The Me who was Reincarnated in the World of an Otome Game Changed the Scenario without Realizing It. is a decent, quick read if you're looking for something sweet and fluffy. While it has some flaws in terms of pacing, character consistency, and world-building, it's ultimately a harmless and enjoyable one-shot. If you go in expecting a light and simple story, you'll likely be satisfied. However, if you're looking for something with more depth and complexity, you might want to look elsewhere. I'd give it a solid 3.5 out of 5 stars.
