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 count five in the first photo and four in the third. Not a series I personally liked, though I appreciated that she moved on unlike some main characters that stay with the trashy original male leads.
Ugh. I hated this chapter because I hate WisTrash with a burning passion.
Like, couldn't you (Neveah) checkout the book and read it in your room? Aren't you like, the empress or something? Who's gonna stop you from checking out books.
