What is Otome Isekai?
“The short answer is that Otome isekai is a sub-genre of Isekai where the main characters are in some way transported to another world that resembles an otome game.” - r/Otomeisekai

Of course, there’s more than that. Otome Isekai (OI) tend to revolve around some variation of: “Female Leading character (FL) dying and reincarnating inside a romantic game or novel, usually as Villainess or side character, and now she must do whatever the plot demands this time to survive, usually helping or being helped by the Male Lead (ML), who doubles as the romantic interest.

It’s a genre that has a lot of attention nowadays, so I made this list for those wanting to see what the hype is about without having to read the lesser good ones (since this genre has A LOT of entries, a lot of them being at best boring and at worst actually problematic or screwed up *cough cough On the Emperor’s lap cough cough* ).

I tried my best to include some variation because at the end of the day this genre is very trope-y and you’ll probably start to guess a lot of what happens in any OI if you get caught up with like,, two of these.

I also included the genres (note, ALL of these have Rofan - Romance Fantasy in them because that’s like,, the point of this genre) and notes so you can pick what you’re interested in.

If you do get into this genre and now want to find memes and stuff about this, I recommend r/OtomeIsekai (I swear I’m not a mod there or anything) fun place and good to be able to rant or gush about any OI.)

As for where to read these? Well, you could purchase them from sites like Tapas, read them mostly for free if you're lucky on Webtoon, or use places like Batto or Mangapill if that’s not an option for you.

Protagonist is transmigrated/reincarnated into an Book/Novel world. Also Transmigration/Reincarnation. Includes Comic/Manga World, TV Show/TV Drama World.

Because aren't you tired of the same old bland cold male lead who makes the FL feel like absolute shit almost throughout the entire manhwa only to get their act together and get them in the end with little to no effort? Talk about generic! Good thing we have these male leads who have all the green flags to remind us that no, men can do absolutely better.

[ Has a green flag rating system; You can recommend or suggest a male lead that fits this interest stack via my profile, whether by comment or message. The ML must have at least a rating of 7/10 green flags though to fit the stack, love, love, and more reading for everyone! ]

i only love fictional men ❤️
(i guess this stack also doubles as a shoujo/josei romance recommendation list)

included tags for notable genres like if it includes angst, reincarnation, smut, etc. so it's easier if there are certain things you'd prefer to avoid. won't mention romance bc it goes without saying that all of them include romance (:

more that's not listed on MAL:

Under the Oak Tree [상수리나무 아래] - manhwa; josei
❤️ Riftan Calypse x Maximilian Calypse
• i'm down bad for him but ngl he's kind of a red flag
• he has major anger issues, extremely possessive and overprotective over maxi
• BUT he's so hot that i became colour blind to the red flags
• and when he's not being big scary angry lord/knight man, he's actually the sweetest and most caring and loving husband ever
+ was adapted from a novel (the manhwa doesn't include actual smut scenes but if ya'll want it, read the novel... it's hella explicit)
• tags: yandere ML, historical, implied smut, drama, fantasy

Depths of Malice [악의의 농도] - manhwa; josei
❤️ Blaine Shade x Verta Alberhart
• toxic couple alert lol but they deserve each other
• the main plot for this one revolves around verta's quest for revenge. romance is a bit like an afterthought and only really shows in the later parts of the story
• but i love blaine because of his loyalty and dedication to verta
• he doesn't care that she's hellbent on ruining people's lives and is more than willing to aid her in it if it meant she would look his way
+ was adapted from a novel
• tags: historical, smut 🔞, reincarnation, drama, fantasy, nobility

Destined to Love You [偏偏宠爱] - manhua; shoujo
❤️ Jiang Ren x Meng Ting
• disclaimer: this story has a very inaccurate portrayal of bipolar disorder
• classic bad boy good girl trope but i love it
• jiang ren is so set on pursuing her despite her numerous rejections that he keeps working on himself to become a man that's good enough for her- studies harder, drops his bad habits like smoking and drinking, etc.
• deep down, he has a ton of insecurities even though he appears to be cocky on the surface
+ was adapted from a novel
• tags: yandere ML, school life, reincarnation, slice of life, drama, angst, bad boy!ML x smart girl!FL

Only for Love [错撩] - manhua; shoujo
❤️ Shi Yan x Zheng Shu Yi
• a successful couple who loves to watch each other succeed
• tons of miscommunication and misunderstandings between the two at the start but when they finally settle down and fully trust each other, their bond is so strong and beautiful
• Shi Yan can be loving but in all honesty, he takes himself too seriously that i cannot fantasize about being with someone like him- i mean i know he's the way that he is because of his upbringing and position but he's not for me. i love him and shu yi together so much tho
+ was adapted from a novel
+ has a live action series adaptation
• tags: office, drama, CEO!ML x reporter!FL

Top 50 rated Manhwas with the “Villainess” tag.

Manhwas that have some form of the word “husband” or “hubby” in the title.

just beautiful art from a mix of mostly romance josei, shoujo and some other genres that's candy for my eyes, nothing to do with whether the story is good or bad (because i'll admit there's some bad ones here)

disclaimer: most of these contain smut 🔞
