OVERVIEW

A community for Otome Isekai series, the female-oriented genre where the main character is transported to an otome-game like world.

Kept the name so people looking for an alternative to r/OtomeIsekai could easily find it, but added the "Plus" to reflect that the genre has evolved to include adjacent series.

I'm happy to hand over control if someone else wants to take over.


GUIDELINES

Open to feedback on this section. If this ends up taking off then maybe the definition of OI and discussion will need to be stricter. Until then, I don't think there's a need to feel restricted by technicalities.


EXAMPLES

Female main character isekais into an otome game as a villainess

Male main character's commentary on the female lead who isekai'ed as the villainess

Added this to point out that the main character (MC) does not necessarily need to be a woman, but if the MC is not a woman, it'll generally need more OI setting pieces to qualify as an OI.

Female main character isekais into the world of a (non-otome game) fantasy book she read

None of the characters are isekai'ed but the setting is otome-esque and one of the female main characters is a villainess


Icon: The One Within the Villainess because Remilia is unrivaled

Banner: My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! because it's a literal otome isekai

I’ve finished all I currently have available to read. I am “currently reading” some incomplete series (or at least series whose English manga version I do not have access to):

  • The Most Heretical Last Boss Queen - From Villainess to Savior
  • Villainess Level 99 - I May Be the Hidden Boss, But I'm Not the Demon Lord
  • My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom
  • Endo and Kobayashi Live! The Latest on Tsundere Villainess Lieselotte

I have read I'm the Villainess, So I'm Taming the Final Boss, but I’m not going to finish it up. I really enjoyed what I read so far up to chapter 12.5, and don’t have access to the rest. But from what I’ve heard, the stuff after chapter 12.5 focuses heavily on some tropes/plots that I personally don’t enjoy, so I’m not going to continue.

Edit: what norm did I violate or do wrong lol, I’m not sure why I’m being downvoted

Villains are destined to die.

Graphic novel is on Amazon. It starts dark and keeps the tension, the MC is never truly out of danger.
