Description
I, Margarete Fondine, an Earl’s daughter recovered my past life’s memories when I was hovering at the boundaries of life and death. I have reincarnated as the heroine in my favorite otome game from my past life. But, hold on a second. Am I really the heroine? In my past life, I also liked web novels. Particularly stories that featured villainesses as the main characters, reading a trifling amount that roughly exceeded three figures. In those stories, the heroine was generally a fool who paid for her mistakes through a tragic end. If I am perhaps not the heroine, then am I not the stalker heroine in the villainess’ story? Whether I’m the heroine or not, it is necessary for me to investigate this first. This is all for the sake of not attracting my future destruction!

My Thoughts on Villainess or Heroine? First and Foremost, That is the Question?
"Villainess or Heroine? First and Foremost, That is the Question?" is a light and fluffy oneshot that I found myself smiling at, despite some of its shortcomings. It's a quick read, perfect for when you need a dose of something sweet and uncomplicated.
First Impressions
The premise immediately grabbed me. A reincarnated heroine, unsure of her role and cautiously navigating the world of an otome game, is a fun twist on the usual villainess trope. The story dives right in, and I appreciated how quickly it established the main character's anxieties and goals. I was definitely curious to see where it would lead!
What Works Well
The cuteness factor is definitely a major strength. The romance, while predictable, is undeniably heartwarming. I enjoyed the dynamic between the main characters, and I found myself rooting for their happily ever after. The story also benefits from a well-executed translation, making it an easy and enjoyable read. It's the kind of story that leaves you with a warm, fuzzy feeling, like biting into a piece of melon-flavored cotton candy.
Areas of Concern
While the story is cute, I can see why some readers might find it lacking in depth. The plot moves incredibly fast, and the character development is somewhat limited. I also understand the criticism that the main character's poverty is mentioned a bit too often, to the point where it becomes repetitive. Additionally, the climax felt a bit rushed and relied on a somewhat flimsy plot device, which detracted from the overall impact.
