I’m kinda obsessed with how, like, okay so yknow all those otome-game-based isekai stories that focus on “villainesses”? I remember when I first saw them I was SO confused ‘cause like, Big Bad lady antagonists are not really much of a thing in otome games,, LIKE we’ve got a a few love rival-y minor antagonist girls out there, mostly in older stat-raisey full-out-dating-sim otome games that were never translated sdfjadldkjsfs but most of the high stakes Main Villain type roles tend to go to some sexy anime boy or weird little creature or unknowable force or whatever else, if anything I see the trope a lot of these isekai stories are playing off of far more often in like, shoujo manga from the 80s lol WAIT IM getting sidetracked WHAT i was going to say is im obsessed with how like, that one otome isekai story, the big famous one, is getting an actual otome game adaptation, i think that absolutely rules, i love it, its like art imitates art imitates art. the two paths have converged. the circle is complete
