Otome Gēmu no Hametsu Furagu Shika Nai Akuyaku Reijō ni Tensei Shite Shimatta… (My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom!) is an oddly long name, but trust me, it has only 12 episodes and it’s not that odd when you know how light novels work. 🙂

She quickly realizes that she was reborn in the world of Fortune Lover, one of the games she had used to play in her previous life.
