現代社会で乙女ゲームの悪役令嬢をするのはちょっと大変

Description / Comments

Protagonist is a corporate slave wasting away her life in the unending great recession, playing otome games to cope with her suffering, only to eventually kick the bucket in some rundown apartment accomplishing nothing of worth in her life. However her dying wish to enjoy the world of the otome game she was playing more, and ends up getting reincarnated as the villainess there. This world is a strange alternate universe of earth where the history of japan is slightly different and still has noble families/etc with maids but otherwise mostly follows normal history.

Chapter 1 is unbelievably bad; it exists solely to infodump as much as possible and even has a very strange forward timeskip to the “endgame”, only for it to almost entirely get rolled back in chapter 2. Ultimate shitty bang start.

How do you become a millionaire in modern (1995) japan with no fancy isekai knowledge to help you and most things are already created, and the timeline/world isn’t fully identical to the one you experienced? Just invest in the internet 4head.

Chapter 7 tho. Literal fantasy of saving all of the lives ruined by the recession, unable to ever actually build value, leading to the current situation in our economy where boomers have all of the wealth and newer generations have nothing and work as slaves, or worse have to offer their bodies to sleezy older corporate men. At least it’s not another wikipedia dump.

This is a wikipedia infodump manga about the japanese economy and financial sector. 90% of the pages are just endless word vomit of technical words that will make your eyes glaze over. It does mix it up a bit at a few spots to have some semblance of a story but it’s few and far between, so only pick this up if you are really interested in the subject matter. However it does do a decent job of explaining these subjects in a way young adults could likely understand and allow them to research more if they’re interested in it, so it does have merit. It sure is unfortunate that a majority of the pages are just filled with text on solid backgrounds though!!

The story does pick up a bit after it is out of the first arc/chapter, and starts to more focus on the game’s plot and interpersonal relationships/networking instead of trying to manipulate the financial industry as a whole. It’s definitely a unique story although i’m not sure if that’s a good thing. A little hard to recommend, but a fairly unique and fun read if it clicks.
