My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom!

At the age of eight, Katarina, a girl of noble birth in another world, has an accident that unlocks her memories–of playing an otome game that’s exactly like the life she’s living now. There’s one problem: she realizes that she’s playing the role of the villainess, and only bad endings await her! What will it take for her to “break the game” and live a happy life?

Both have someone that played Otome games in their past life reincarnated as the Villianess of the game.

Only here the villainess is just trying to avoid her death flags and is preparing for the worst. She's just oblivious and nice in general.

More on the romance and avoiding/ tripping those kind of flags then preparing for event flags here.

But flags are tripped and avoided in both.

Terms to Know:

Jishou Akuyaku Reijou na Konyakusha no Kansatsu Kiroku/

Fiancé's Observation Log of the Self-proclaimed Villainess = FOLSPV

Otome Game no Hametsu Flag Shika Nai Akuyaku Reijou ni Tensei Shiteshimatta.../My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! = MNLV:ARLD

perspective character/PC = the character whose viewpoint we see the story from

heroine character = the character a person would play in an otome game. The main focus of the game is her romance with a series of potential suitors.

rival character = a character made to stand in the way of the heroine character and one of her suitors.

Both stories similar concepts with minor differences:

1. In both, a japanese high school girl reincarnates into a rival character from one of the otome games she played before her death. In both, the rival character is seen to be an airhead, but they also work very hard to reach their goals.

 - In MNLV:ARLD, the rival character is our perspective character. Her goal is to avoid the routes where her game counterpart got murdered and prepare herself for a route where she'll most likely be exiled.

- In FOLSPV, the rival character is not our perspective character. Her goal is to intentionally follow the game's storyline in the hopes of reaching the best ending, where the first prince and the game heroine end up together. This goal would cause her to become a sacrifice for the prince's happiness.

2. In both, there are 2 prince characters, an older sadistic/twisted genius prince, and a younger prince. The older prince in both is engaged to the rival character since childhood, and both 1st princes show some form of attraction to the rival character that she fails to notice.

- In MNLV:ARLD, the first prince puts on an angelic persona to hide his more sadistic personality. He sets up his engagement to the rival character. The second prince is a tsundere who ended up with a brother complex in the game.

- In FOLSPV, the first prince is our perspective character. Because the rival character is straightforward in telling him exactly what her intentions are, he has more insight into her true nature. He also uses her knowledge of the game's event to shift things around for his own amusement. Not much is said about the second prince, but his appearance in later chapters suggests that he is a "shota/cute boy" type.

3. The heroine character is not introduced until later chapters, and both use light magic.

- In MNLV:ARLD, it's hinted that the heroine character falls in love with the rival character in lieu of her actual suitors from the game. She's a genuinely nice person that comes from a commoner family. She was accepted into the academy due to her rare magic.

- In FOLSPV, the heroine character has only just been physically introduced, but she's been mentioned by the rival character in the other chapters. In the world of FOLSPV, light magic is capable of brainwashing people, which the manga hints is how the heroine made her suitors fall in love in the game.

4. From what I can tell, the light novel for FOLSPV ended after 2 volumes, meanwhile the light novel for MNLV:ARLD has 6 volumes and is still continuing.

Being reincarnated as a villainess the mc tries to take matters into their own hands, Katarina (all routes lead to doom) eliminates her death flags one by one as she plans for back up plans in case she was exiled, Bertia (observation log) on the other hand aims to fullfil her role properly for her fiance, the prince to attain happiness. 

Both are comedic and the mcs are naive.

Observation Log is set in the pov of the love interest, Prince Cecil.

Icecreamsnowy Icecreamsnowy says...

I watched the anime first(my next life as a villainess) and i was soon obsessed with isekai and found this..so these too are very similar..both FLs are Baka (means idiot) and airheady and both trys to stay alive but in diff ways..and this is not reverseharem but just as good and juicy also starts from childhood..and gets engaged to the crown prince.....the only big diff is that one is finished and the other is not...(Written in 2021 December)

PascalTheCurator PascalTheCurator says...

Ditzy 'villainess' heroine that creates a fan club out of every other primary character. Bullying scandals and powers of light and dark. All of this could apply to either story. They both give off the same exact vibe.

Young Lady Albert Is Courting Disaster

Young Lady Albert Is Courting Disaster

Meet Mary Albert, daughter of a rich and powerful duke. With her neat silver ringlets and impeccable manners, she’s the perfect young lady. But Mary harbors an unusual ambition—her own downfall! On the day of her school entrance ceremony, Mary realizes she’s living in an otome game she played in her past life. Not only that, but she’s the villainess, destined to torment the heroine, be expelled from noble society, and end her story in ruin. Most would do anything to avoid such a miserable fate, but not Mary! She cheerfully dives into the wicked role she was born to play, setting a course for catastrophe. However, not all goes to plan. Despite her best efforts to bully and harass the heroine, Alicia, the gentle girl seems blind to Mary’s intentions, even coming to see her as a friend. What must our villainess do to achieve her dreams of doom?!

In both manga's the protagonist proclaims themselves as the villainess and says they'll act mean but instead they always end up being nice to the heroine and making friends with the prince and others.

I truly recommend both of these manga's.

villainess: “i’m a villain i’m going to head towards the bad end and cause inconviences!”

*fails*

male lead: *doesn’t know why he’s going with her antics but does so anyways* “you did your best, sweetheart.”

that’s it, that’s literally both of these mangas summed up. god it’s so cute

Both female leads here are working to become the villainess that they’ve been isekaid as, though they seem to fail in an adorable way. Lots of cuteness galore involving them and their cure attempts to corrupt the world

tempesthorne99 tempesthorne99 says...

Both reincarnated villainess with the same goal. Except for this one, she wanted to be the "GREATEST VILLAINESS OF ALL TIME", someone worthy and will go down the history. She's legit OP and very hard-working. And her aim is to bitch-slap the airheaded rainbow filled heroine.

MissMizzy6 MissMizzy6 says...

A romance generally focusing on the male lead, outside forces are the cause of the original plot, everyone is misunderstood through reasonable circumstances, funny, cute, etc.. all the things that make them good series are shared in common with very different plots.

RosieBird RosieBird says...

Both are very funny and unique for the 'genre'.  Although the plots aren't really similar, I think if you like one you'll like the other.  

Yowaki MAX Reijou nano ni, Ratsuwan Konyakusha-sama no Kake ni Notte Shimatta

Yowaki MAX Reijou nano ni, Ratsuwan Konyakusha-sama no Kake ni Notte Shimatta

I was reborn as a villainous daughter in a reverse harem otome game. After being sick with a high fever at the age of 10, Pia Rockwell suddenly remembered her past life as a university student in Japan. But far from going down the villainess route, all this super timid girl wants is to finally use her knowledge from when she was a grad student studying to get her doctorate in paleontology. Her ultimate goal is to become a commoner, excavate fossils, build a museum and then become a curator. So in order to escape the villainess route and avoid being deported by her fiancé during the graduation ball, Pia decides to avoid the upcoming hurt and heartache and asks to break off her engagement to Rufus, the Prime Minister's son. But will her cunning fiancé let her go that easily?

Both manga feature fiance who knows about the "villianess" reincarnation and actively try to change the events.

OogaChoo OogaChoo says...

Both take place in dating sims.

Both have heroines that are oblivious and adorable to their surroundings

Both have a ML that is a genius and is rude to everyone but the FL

Both try to prevent the events of the dating sims

The original heroine from the dating sims are both not what they seem.

Iris, an otome game addict with no time for romance, gets hit by a truck after getting out of work–but instead of dying, she finds herself in the world of a game she'd played just hours earlier. However, she's not reborn as the game's protagonist, the main heartthrob of the harem. Instead, she starts her new life as the antagonist, right at the moment she's being sent to live in a nunnery–for the rest of her life!

Only here she awakened as the villianess after her bad end flags were tripped.

She now works, using her past memories, for the betterment of others and her fief.

Less with flags and more with solving problems.

Villianess point of view.

CaptainSlow CaptainSlow says...

Both are "Reincarnated as an Fantasy Otome Game Villainess" isekai but told from the perspective of the man closest and most devoted to the villainess. There are some slight differences in who had been reincarnated. In Akuyaku Reijou no Shitsuji-sama, Cyril the butler is the one who has memories of his previous life and tries to steer the plot so that the villainess doesn't have to die. Unfortunately, he's not very good at considering the consequences. Jishou Akuyaku Reijou's Cecil, on the other hand, is the NPC witnessing his reincarnator betrothed's antics and listening to her talk of "otome games" and "routes". Unlike his game counterpart, though, he's perfectly happy throwing plot to the wind for the sake of his fascinating and amusing Bertia.

-Both protags have been reincarnated as the villainess at a young age

-The story is told from their fiances (the prince) pov

-Both female leads spill the beans about them coming from another world (though it sounds ludicrous to the male leads but they take their words with a pinch of salt)

-Bertia strives for ruin while Serena tries to dodge it at every turn
