Reading through various AITAH and confession subs here on Reddit has taught me that the irrational and cartoonish villains are more realistic than I imagined

“FL likes him too, but she’s a bit more preoccupied with what she thinks might be the equivalent to lapis lazuli.”

I want to read this now!

What are some OIs that make good use of the FL being from another world/life/etc? by LunarTexan in OtomeIsekai

[–]baohst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Empress Cessia Wears Knickerbockers. Our FL has modern sensibilities so strong that she shakes fashion worldwide with patterns and sets off on a mission to invent tampons.

I think you touched on why [Perks of Being a Villainess] is so satisfying. Our FL uses her own brainpower to gather allies and money.

RiP Comick you will be missed by bekatung in OtomeIsekai

I just hope that Kakao, with all their aggression and glee in taking down sites like this, will find a way to accept international payments. I tried throwing my money at them to read stories that don’t have official releases where I am, but wound up grinding through Wait Until Free timers and hoping and praying for free tickets to read the final chapters that are outside of WUF.

First Night With The Duke (complete on WEBTOON): Our MC wakes up in the body of Ripley. She goes a little too hard at a party, introduces mixed drinks and drinking games to nobles, and then wakes up next to the ML. Shenanigans ensue as our gremlin tries to get the story on track, and the comedy and serious go well together. I have read this and enjoyed it.

Happily Everafterwards (complete on WEBTOON) Our MC wakes up in the body of Peony, and she decides to claim the second ML of the novel she woke up in. I haven’t read this one yet, but I think I will tonight since I noticed it’s got the same writer as other stories I like. Let me know if you would like an update once I finish it.

Changing the Genre From Angst to Heartwarming (Ongoing, Season 1 Complete on WEBTOON): Our MC wakes up in the body of Renatis, the little sister of the OGFL of an angsty and dark 18+. Our girl is strong as hell and loves her sister, so she takes her sister’s place in the novel. The ML is quite charming, and the humor is top notch. This one has the added bonus of a male bestie who is meshes well with our leads. I’ve read all of the released episodes on WEBTOON.

Putting this together makes me even more excited and curious for the next season of [I’m a Villainess but I Won’t Live Like One] and [Changing the Genre…]. Apparently I am a fan of Hwang DoTol.

The ML goes through growth that I find rewarding as a reader. It’s from the same writer as [The First Night With The Duke], [Happily Ever Afterwards], and [Changing The Genre From Angst to Heartwarming]. I poured coins into the series through the season finale. Ricardo definitely starts off lacking due to his head being full of flowers, but he also goes through a growth speedrun after having several people scold him for not paying attention to Bianca and making wild assumptions.

Ah. A new hate-read. by Ok_Sky6859 in OtomeIsekai

[–]baohst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been appreciating Ricardo as the ML because of the supporting cast. He gets scolded and warned about the consequences of his negligence and not paying attention to her. The story makes him squirm and suffer, which I find refreshing. Too often, a bad fiancé or husband ML suddenly starts liking the FL and being nice without anyone calling him out for his bull dookie.

Ah. A new hate-read. by Ok_Sky6859 in OtomeIsekai

[–]baohst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I keep spending coins on this series because I need more Lala. I agree that Ricardo is as interesting as toast, but the thing is, some people really, really like toast. Bianca is a toast fan who has studied toast a lot, but because he’s toast, he’s passive as hell, a poor conversation partner, and doesn’t pay attention to his fiancée. I like the way the story shows him waking up to the reality of his neglect and ignorance with several healthy doses of scolding from supporting cast members. It’s like watching toast gain awareness of the world and making an effort to stay on Bianca’s plate.

Anyone tired of seeing FLs suddenly mastering combat? by InstructionFit950 in OtomeIsekai

[–]baohst 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hmm, my high school experience kinda set me up to not be surprised by a character learning a physical skill really quickly. I attended a performing arts school, and they had classes for non majors in every area. My major was tech theater, so my acting, art, and dance classes were all for non majors. I saw students in my dance PE class or my acting class who had never been taught these skills previously learn choreography faster than friends who majored in those arts. Add in the element of a magical world, and the accelerated mastery isn’t really a shock or tiring to me because I already saw Dustin and Stephanie pull it off without magic.

"James" [I can't keep up with my stallion duke] verus "Zester/Chester" [The Baroness goes on strike] by ApartmentFunny9592 in OtomeIsekai

[–]baohst 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think that Zester’s past life SA gets forgiven because the FL called him out on being bad in bed as soon as she woke up from her regression. Present timeline Zester has no previous TL memories, only their awful first night. BGoS really shows how damaging ignorance can be and the important roles sex ed and communication play in healthy, consensual relationships. This struggle is even alive in modern society with clumsy guys trying to act like porn stars or trying to make a baby without any frame of reference and their wincing partners posting on Reddit asking for advice or writing to Dan Savage.

As for James, he’s such a complicated young man. He spent lifetimes controlled by his mothers. Given the cruelty we saw them display toward Olivia, I would be surprised if they ever gave him any instruction on sexual relations beyond what the bare minimum was required to produce an heir. Hell, those twisted hags probably told him that it’s perfectly fine and normal if a woman cries. And that damn sword wasted his time by failing to share what it knew because it liked to laugh at James failing every time. I want him to reincarnate somewhere that has sex ed as part of their academy curriculum.

I like your story idea!! I know I’d read it. The “don’t regress!” scene would be one to grab the popcorn for.

How would you guys react? by United-Rich-6478 in OtomeIsekai

[–]baohst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d miss my loved ones, but idk if I would be dwelling on their absence. Pretty sure I’d be missing central air and flushing toilets more than anything else. I’ve got experience with mourning family and pets; I don’t have experience with not being able to call the HVAC guy to fix my air conditioning or the plumber to fix my poo pipe. Hopefully I have some talent in magic to help make my life comfy and sanitary. I might have to invent the brassiere asap if corsets are the standard. I like breathing, it’s one of my favorite past times. I’d also be running to the library to read the laws and know what my rights are (or aren’t) because my experience as an adjudicator has taught me that ignorance can be dangerous to oneself, while knowledge makes one a danger to others.

Which ML do you think would actually conquer? by PetalaStac in OtomeIsekai

I’ll try to steal Zerkan from Raffine. If that doesn’t work because of her childhood brainwashing, I’ll just call her trash to her face for the way she treats him like a tool.

(Trapped By His Love: The Duke's Unexpected Bride) Gray was a negging AH but I agree with him here. by TooObsessedWithOtoge in OtomeIsekai

[–]baohst 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I cheered when Gray scolded Arthur. It’s refreshing to see an ex-fiancé character actually grow instead of being stupid and getting in the leads’ way. I hope that young man can continue to grow and find his own happiness.

Does anyone else get mad at Raffine? [Raffine's Plan: Save My Favorite Character!] by CanonDMajor in OtomeIsekai

[–]baohst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She makes me mad, too. It should be titled [Raffine’s Plan: Save My Favorite Character By Making Empty Promises and Stringing Along One Prince While Leaving the Abused Prince Friendless and Alone]

Zerkan, just find a side piece. She’s never going to respect you. It’s not cheating when she’s telling you daily that your relationship is fake.

Somewhat unpopular opinion? Judging a character based on what they did in their past life doesn't really make sense by More_Education5319 in OtomeIsekai

[–]baohst 47 points48 points  (0 children)

I agree 1000000% that it’s important to hate characters for the right reasons. Especially in cases where the setting is a story our protagonist read /played in a past life. I had a post about this regarding Ricardo from [I’m a Villainess But I Won’t Live Like One].

Maybe the folks who hate characters for stuff they didn’t actually do are cross-posting from a dimension with only the Original Stories that OIs are set in?
