nobles, otome game, master-servant, multiple reincarnated peeps, "dense" MC

Cecil Alldington regained the memories of her past life when she used magic for the first time at the age of 7. Although previously she had been in the prime of her youth, living as a Japanese high school girl, she ended up dying in a traffic accident. After reincarnating, she is now living in the deranged world of an Otome Game where all the Capture Targets are Yanderes! Moreover, since she is now the Heroine's love rival, her death flags are everywhere and her most likely cause of death is the Capture Target that is currently her servant! Forced to interact with cute boys that are likely to kill her, how will she survive?

The following is the story of how this cheerful and compassionate girl nonchalantly avoids these death flags.

It's the typical JAP reincarnated-into-an-otome-game novel but with a...smarter heroine.

So our MC reincarnates into a Viscount's daughter, she recognized her new world as the yandere otome game she used to play. No fiance though~! She decided to ignore the love interests and heroine to avoid her death flag...except one: our servant ML cos he's her servant. In the game, the servant was heavily bullied by the original and found his light in the heroine. Our MC decided to get along well with him, teaching him to refuse if she gave an unreasonable order etc. etc.

The 'game' begins once she stepped into the academy. However, she soon learns that one of the love interest (the Senpai) and even the heroine herself are all reincarnated JAP kids. So her death flags from the heroine are basically gone. However, in order not to get the Bad End from the hidden character (which she hasn't played in the game), the three reincarnators cooperated to find him.

Meanwhile, our yandere servant ML is dying from jealousy since our MC has secrets with other guys (senpai) plus being targeted by a perv heroine (she's a guy inside) as well as attracting other men (which may or may not be the hidden character). In the end, they found the hidden character (he's super hidden!) and MC finally accepts ML's confession (He's confessed so many times but our MC is just so "dense".)

Hmm.. I am actually okay with the MC, except for the typical denseness of JAP MCs, she was okay to me. She's calm, smart, not air-headed. I like that she didn't immediately conclude that her servant is set to yandere later because of the game plot and still chose to get along with him. And its not in a manipulative way just to change the plot, but to really trust him.

For the other love interests, our MC chose to ignore them. I say ignore cos I think its different from 'avoiding them but still secretly paying attention to the game progress'. Our MC only paid attention to the heroine, but in a non-obvious way (just observing). It just became too obvious cos our MC has no friends ^^; and ignores everyone so it was noticeable when her eyes stay on the heroine a little longer.

For the romance, so many cliche scenes: kabedon, sleeping on the same bed, princess carry etc. etc. It was discouraging that our MC is so dense that ML's confessions fall to deaf ears. It became frustrating later, when its revealed that MC IS aware of ML's feelings but she's been denying them cos she's scared(?) he will leave her someday or something.

Anyways, except for the last part, I liked this for the calm MC and the master-servant trope~ The other characters grows on you too (Senpai!). Hmm.. aside from the MC's intentional denial of ML's feelings(!) I guess, another thing I didn't like is the "you're forgiven as long as nothing really happened" ending. Lol. I mean, another reincarnator almost kills MC (pushes her into the fire) but at the end, they become friends gushing over BL pairings. =_=

Read this for completely translated master-servant trope~
