"My Next Life As A Villainess: All Routes Leads To Doom" by Satoru Yamaguchi - Light Novel



Looking for a story about the daughter of a duke?

Royal tea parties with too many delicious cakes?

Magic?

Then read on, my friend ;)

"My Next Life As A Villainess: All Routes Leads To Doom" by Satoru Yamaguchi is a story about our main character, a 17 year old girl – living and breathing for manga, anime and games. Tired after one night of frantic playing out her new favourite choose-your-own-adventure (otome) game, she gets into an accident and dies.

What then happens is that she is reincarnated into Katarina Claes's body. The villainess in her new favourite game.

Katarina Claes is the villain of your dreams. An evil bully that will meet her ultimately end by either being exiled or killed, depending on what path you choose in the game.

This is rather problematic for our main character, who sets plans into motion to avoid her bad ending.
Basically Katarina gets a personality change, and are now nice to the love interests (the bad endings!), practicing the sword and learning agriculture skills to be able to take care of herself should she be exiled.

The story is for sure carried by Katarinas personality.
To the reader she is silly, kind, but not particular bright and because of that, she doesn't notice that she is changing the game. Suddenly EVERYONE (boys, girls, EVERYONE) is in love with her, and with a title ”all routes lead to doom” it's sure to assume that Katarina is in for a challenge.

I first noticed this story on Crunchyroll. I couldn't wait for the new episodes, so here you have me reading the books hehe.

I just finished book two of the light novels, and it's all very very exciting :)

”Love, that's an understatement, Vol 1” by Fujimomo

”Love, that's an understatement Vol 1” by Fujimomo is like a semi-mafia romance set in a school environment. I loved how the worlds of smart girl, Risa, and Zen and his group of delinquents mix. To some is Risa a very responsible person. To her classmates, she's robotic and cold. Of course, she doesn't like their view of her, but she is this way to not cause worries. But it has the effect that Risa is alone and doesn't know how to ask for help. I liked the mental picture the mangaka draw with Risa's heavy bag. Risa's bag is full of things that can help her in any given situation, so she doesn't have to rely on others. It becomes clear that it's a heavy burden if you can't get help when you need it. Risa is by no means a damsel in distress. She's more than capable of taking care of herself. We see it again and again in the story. There are scenes where most people would panic, but where she stands up for herself, and I screamed in delight! ...

”Wolf Girl And Black Prince, Vol 1” by Ayuko Hatta

”Wolf Girl And Black Prince, Vol 1” by Ayuko Hatta is a hilarious romantic comedy about Erika (The wolf girl) who cried too many times that she has a boyfriend – when she actually doesn't. Her friends think she's a liar, and scared of being left out in the cold, Erika takes a picture of a random hot guy in the street. If only she had known that they know him already because he goes to her school! The disaster feeling is strong when Erika is almost caught in her lies, but Sata, the guy, listens to her pleas about him becoming her fake boyfriend. He's a nice guy and agrees - all she has to do is be at his beck and call. His own personal slave dog. Turns out he's a wolf in sheep's clothing! Now, now, before anyone goes complaining that this guy is evil and mistreating her, just remember that Erika could stop this farce at any time by telling the truth to her friends. She doesn't and I think for sure there's going to be an important lesson to be learned he...

"When We Shout for Love, Vol 3" by Yuka Kitagawa

The "When We Shout for Love" series by Yuka Kitagawa is a wholesome and satisfying read. It's about friendship, empowerment, and about being passionate about the things you like. This is a read for everyone that likes stories about fandoms. Especially if you like when fans meet their idols! I flew through this series, and couldn't get the next volume fast enough. Cute, adorable, and fast-paced with reliable characters. I loved the growth Mayuko go through, the music that inspires her, and the fanciable Ohba-kun for his support and patience as Mayuko struggles with her anxiety. It was nice to read a story with no miscommunications but with positive messages about not caring about other people looking at you, and daring to do the things you love. But I'm sad now because volume 3 was the last in the series. One thing is sure, I will check out the author's other works!
