“As for me, I'm willing to try another couple of episodes, but I'm going to need this show to evolve past this one-note dynamic if it's going to capture my heart.”

I'm in Love with the Villainess
Watashi no Oshi wa Akuyaku Reijou. · 私の推しは悪役令嬢。 · 2023
A reincarnated office worker shamelessly pursues her favorite aristocratic otome villainess.
Synopsis
Overworked corporate employee Rei Ohhashi dies from exhaustion and wakes up reincarnated as Rae Taylor, the heroine of her favorite fantasy otome video game, Revolution. Rather than pursuing any of the game three handsome royal princes, Rae is head-over-heels in love with the story haughty antagonist, noblewoman Claire François. Undeterred by Claire imperious insults, arrogant bullying, and public humiliation tactics, Rae enthusiastically embraces every punishment as a blessing, showering the bewildered villainess with unfiltered affection. Together, they navigate aristocratic politics, magical exams, and underlying social inequality across the kingdom.
