    Grammar is poor at places, the plot is fresh and engaging, the characters need more details, the pacing is fast, but it's not tiring to read like some of the more serious stories.
    The villaines is quite on-the-nose and the MC pulls superior firepower just because she played a game in her past life™. It's junk food of novels and you'll love it.

    Overall, I would say this is a good story that needs a bit more polish.  The concept is great.  It amuses me that this is basically an uno reverse card to the villainess genre.  The villainess is the reincarnated protagonist and our isekai'd MC is the heroine-antagonist of the game turned back into a protagonist.  Both girls have knowledge of the future but the Villainess got reincarnated earlier in life and had a head start!
    This isn't the first story I've seen where more than one person has knowledge of the future, but I like how that dymanic pushes characters to be more proactive and plan their actions ahead of time.  That's one of the big positives to our MC so far.  One of the downsides is that I believe the characters are a little one dimensional so far.  This ties in with the style of writing too.  To me, it reads like the author was more interested in writing a manga than a book.  There's a lot of focus on short snippets of dialogue and quick scene changes.  There's not a lot of description, exposition, or deep dives into characters or world building.  That may be a plus for some and a minus for others, but I think the quickness of the pace means certain things get skimmed over and characters aren't as well developed as they could be.
    The grammar and lack of proofreading for other errors is the main flaw of the story.  Tenses get mixed up and word choice is often awkward in a way I'd expect to see from someone who speaks English as a second language.  Sometimes lines are repeated, or dialogue is broken up in ways that create confusion about who is actually speaking.  I might recommend that the author get the free version of Grammarly or some other program to help check their grammar, or see if they have a friend who could act as a beta reader and catch some of the mistakes.

    ★★★ 2.5
    There's about 36 chapters of an otome game story, before revealing that the main character must challenge seven other types of games in other countries.
    The otome game originally featured a heroine with a reverse harem and the villainess is the fiancée of a prince who kills her with a sword after she tries to poison the heroine.
    The villainess regresses and steals most of the reverse harem and plots murderous revenge. The heroine disappears and a gamer main character replaces her with a knowledge cheat and a pseudo lesbian harem (nothing confirmed, despite others having feelings for the main character).
    It was an average story that I wish had ended before revealing a wider world. I'd say it's a "bothered ever after" story. The End. 🙄

    This story follows the reincarnated in a game trope with a hint of lesbian harem.
    In the first arc of the story, the plot is basic and the writing is lackluster. The surprise comes with the second arc of the story that do something new I've never read before, so great job on that.
    Unfortunately, in the first arc, the characters lacks depth and while grammar is ok, the phrasing, the lack of details, the lack of universe building (economic, academic, otherwise), the lack of emotions and doubt, and the hero game mechanics make this novel difficult to read.
    If this is a first novel, it is on the border of good. Author, you should think about giving more depth to your universe since the very beginning of the story. Even in a kingdom, there is more than 4 or 5 noble families, there political subtext, life of the city and world around the hero, etc.
    With a little more effort and details, this could be quite good. For reference, i recommends "Tori transmigrated".
