乙女ゲームの破滅フラグしかない悪役令嬢に転生してしまった... 1

Sometimes funny but repetitive and full of filler

Having caught up with this series, I cannot recommend it. Its main strengths are that it is sometimes funny (as someone who likes idiot protagonists) and the cute bi reverse harem, but the series is repetitive and full of filler. The books are short and yet teeming with alternate PoVs that retell the story's events verbatim with only slightly altered internal monologues. This barely improves over the thirteen volumes currently published and is very tedious.

The romance, which is heavily deemphasised in the second arc but very saturated in the first arc, is lackluster as well, and doesn't really go anywhere. The characterisation is a bit shallow and often relies on a single running gag of them all being unbelievably clingy. The relationships are all predicated on characters with samey sob stories, whose hearts are all healed by the main character via shoujo-trope interactions (fitting for the title) that are implausibly simplistic. If you like romcoms or otome games, this still might be worth checking out for you, though.

A lot of the characters from the first arc recede to the background in the second arc, which may be unrewarding for many fans. There isn't much in the way of worldbuilding or description (a small pet peeve is that one of the few details given about the world is that it it is like medieval Europe, but the books are overrun with anachronisms, magic or no magic).

The writing style is very simple (making this series well-suited for a beginner), but in my opinion it errs on the side of being boring. You are unlikely to learn much new vocabulary or grammar unless you are very new to Japanese.

The story is fun but the writing style is really annoying!

I really enjoyed the story, had some good laughs as well, but the writing style is the worst I've read yet. Based on 2 volumes I finished currently, there's 2 problems:

• Repetition. The author keeps adding different point of views and repeating what we already know instead of proceeding the story. If it was once or twice, maybe as a special chapter at the end, that'd be cool, I really like it when changing the point of view continues the story instead, unfortunately it's not like that here.
• It feels like a monologue! (mostly for other characters PoV) The few dialogues are there as a bonus, because really when PoV changes you're there to hear the internal monologue of the characters.

Despite all that I'm willing to read some more, the characters are very good and there's a lot of potential to the story. It's also good as an entry level to orange level books (27+)
