Plot

Catarina Claes, the young daughter of a noble family, one day bumps her head and regains memories of her past life as an otaku. It is then that she realizes she has been reborn into the world of the otome game Fortune Lover, reincarnated as the game's villainess who, regardless of what route the player took in the original game, is doomed to be either killed or exiled. In order to avoid these routes that lead to doom, Catarina begins taking countermeasures to try and avoid things going the same way as the game. This, however, ends up having unexpected consequences on her relations with the other characters of the game's world.

Characters

Catarina Claes (カタリナ・クラエス, Katarina Kuraesu)[a]
Voiced by: Maaya Uchida[6]
The main character, a 17-year-old otaku who has been reincarnated as the villain character of the game Fortune Lover. Having extensive knowledge of Fortune Lover, including the fact that all the routes in the game lead to either her death or exile, she takes drastic measures to avoid such outcomes, such as trying to establish good relationships with her peers and take up gardening as a profession should her exile come to pass.
Geordo Stuart (ジオルド・スティア一ト, Jiorudo Sutiaato)[b]
Voiced by: Shouta Aoi, Asami Setō (childhood)[7]
A prince who is Catarina's fiancé during her childhood. In the game he was blamed for Catarina getting the scar on her forehead and she locks him away. The good ending shows he exiles Catarina and marries the heroine, the bad ending has him kill Catarina and abandoning the heroine due to guilt of killing his fiancé. He is afraid of snakes, something Catarina capitalizes on in order to both protect herself and to boost Alan's self-esteem.
Keith Claes (キース・クラエス, Kiisu Kuraesu)
Voiced by: Tetsuya Kakihara, Sora Amamiya (childhood)[7]
Catarina's adoptive brother. A powerful magic user of earth magic. In the game Catarina torments and ignores him which makes him a womanizer. In the good path, he has Catarina exiled and abandons his womanizing ways to be with the Heroine, the bad has him killing her in a fit of rage before disappearing forever. To avoid those endings, Catarina goes out of her way to be a good sister to him, which does improve their relationships but also saddles Keith with the thankless task of having to keep Catarina out of trouble, mostly to no avail.
Alan Stuart (アラン・スティア一ト, Aran Sutiaato)
Voiced by: Tatsuhisa Suzuki, Mutsumi Tamura (childhood)[7]
Geordo's brother and Mary's fiancée. He was a sickly child and jealous of his twin brother which made him become an introvert. However, he is a very skilled musician on the piano and loves flowers. His path in the game is actually the only one that Catarina has no doom flag as Mary is the rival for the Heroine and both paths have happier endings. Catarina uses her knowledge of Fortune Lover to become friends with Mary, something that infuriates Alan, as he thinks Mary is ignoring him in favor of Catarina, and challenges Catarina to a series of competitions, which Catarina wins handily. As time passes, however, Catarina earns Alan's respect and they become friends.

Manga

There have been two manga series associated with the light novel. The first, My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom, was first published in Japan during August 2017 and adapts the light novel series into manga format. The second, Otome Game no Hametsu Flag shika nai Akuyaku Reijou ni Tensei shite shimatta... Zettai Zetsumei! Hametsu Sunzen Hen, released its first issue in November 2019. This manga focuses on the question of what would happen if Katarina were to recover her memories when she was fifteen as opposed to during her childhood, leaving her without the friends and relationships that she garnered as a result of early planning against her bad ends.[3]

Catarina Claes, a young noble girl, one day bangs her head and recalls memories from her past life, in which she was an otaku who died in a traffic accident after staying up all night to play the Fortune Lover dating sim. After inadvertently entering an engagement with the young prince Geordo Stuart, Catarina realises that she is in the world of Fortune Lover itself, reincarnated as the villainess who is doomed to either exile or death regardless of what route players took in the original game. As Catarina begins taking up magic and farming as countermeasures to avoid a "doom flag", she acts friendly towards her adopted younger brother Keith to keep him from becoming lonely and turning out the way he is in the game. Catarina tries to get Keith to teach her golem magic but ends up getting herself injured, leading Keith to feel guilty and try to isolate himself. However, Catarina steps in to properly apologize and give him reassurance.

The next day, Alan accuses Catarina of seducing Mary and challenges her to a tree climbing contest, losing every time. As Alan feels inferior compared to Geordo, Catarina, noticing his talent with the piano, shows him that even Geordo has things he is bad at.
