This was a cute, easy going story. It checked a lot of boxes for my preferences: person in a new world, a main character that's female, and someone scorned by family/friends recovering and finding joy in a new lifestyle. It's got a budding romance and some minor drama. *Content warning (not spoiler)*

**It does have the main character seemingly in a position to get sexually assaulted. It's not too bad, but it might be too much for other survivors. Unfortunately at the time of my reading it was a cliff hanger, the perpetrator looming over her. I don't believe that there will be any graphic depictions, but still. There's also a scene in a dream where the heroine is chained up in a cage by said perpetrartor.

To dive right into this one, the protagonist dies and is reincarnated into the villainess of an otome game, and despite being a kid and having several years to prevent a bad end, the game’s events transpire, and she is exiled, whereupon she becomes a nun. However, a former npc had fallen in love with her and followed her out to the countryside, whereby our rom-com begins. It’s actually quite good, both the protagonist and the love interest are extremely likable. The MC is chill and understanding, and the author avoids the trap other rom-coms use, and refuses to write in arbitrary misunderstandings to create meaningless conflict. Instead, it’s a very relaxing experience. That’s what the first 11 or so chapters are like anyway, and then we go from a 1 in the Chaos and Drama meter to a f-ing 100 over the course of 2 chapters with the sudden introduction of a yandere character who is immediately out for blood. This isn’t a bad development or anything, it’s just very sudden and draws into question the MC’s decision-making despite knowing the guy is a yandere. While the conflict itself isn’t poorly written, it does have a very, very unsatisfactory ending to it. Which brings us to where the manga is now. I’m expecting drama to be a common occurrence from this point forward, and while I would’ve preferred a chill rom-com I can relax to, I’m also looking forward to the developments to come.

Veeery slice of life, a little too much for my taste. Also, corset slander. Come on people, research! Otherwise it's fine. I like the male lead but I'm not such a fan of the female lead she's a bit dull. She's drawn to be very cheerful but it's not the fun kind, it's just the anime kind. I'm not particularly humoured or entertained. I'm not upset or anything, it just doesn't match the standard of equally generic manga.

Story basically revolved around mc who reincarnated into a villainess demoted into commoner nun who wants to keep her simple peaceful life, except somehow she is still triggering game event flags from the various capture targets that will potentially endanger her goals. 

It's nice and fluffy at times as mc uses her event planner experience in her previous life to make everyone around her happy and content, while also figuring out what this knight is doing following her around. Kinda dense but not really tbh cus the knight is very socially awkward and cannot communicate good for shit so rip both them (they are kinda shipped tgt which is pretty cute I suppose). 

The stakes only get high when the capture targets come by and interact with the mc, and somehow she raises their capture flags, which only spells more problems for her. It's kinda scary ngl because these capture targets have questionable af morality and personalities, and even when mc manages to avoid and get away from them they dont get repercussions much because they are in very high positions in aristocracy. This part makes it kinda iffy for me to read ngl, but still compelling for me to read because I want to know what happens next and if mc manages to get through it harmless. 

Not too bad for a villainess manga, but some warnings for non-con and r*** attempt at some point. The manga thankfully does put up the warning at the start of the chapter, even though the guy isn't really punished to say the least :////
