+ isekai, awakening as the villainess of a game, conquering your death flags, starting from the villainess as she is a child and gets to know all other characters, though a lot of time is spent about the time before the otome game starts I actually love the care and time spent there, survival, comedy, romance, fantasy, aristocracy.
- the story gets milked out after Katarina gets past the ending of the game, though I will disregard that facts as I dropped this series afterwards. As such, this review will only review the series until the end of the game Katarina is reincarnated in.
Art 10/10
+ The characters are beautiful and I really like the snippy artwork it has and Katarina's 'evil eyes'. Less polished, but it fits perfectly with the story and the feelings you want the reader to have. Nicely detailed as well, though alternated with chibi's at perfect intervals.
- Less big panel artworks because of the comedy aspect of the story.
Characters 10/10
+ The story takes quite some time on the development of the characters when they're still children, long before the otome game starts and long before the protagonist of that game appears. This gives Katarina a lot of time to play into the death flags and build up some preparations. The character development is best in these first chapters as each character gets introduced one by one - giving them all their own spotlight so you fall in love with every one of them in turn. And, to end with, who couldn't fall in love with gullible, thick Bakarina?! She enchants all her readers!
- They're all too lovable, making me frustrated over who I want Katarina should to actually fall in love with in the end.
Enjoyment 10/10
+ Fun, cute, funny and with quite the dramatic high point, it's the perfect story to have introduced me into this isekai genre.
- Milking out is no good! I bought the first few volumes and will keep it at that.

Overall of 10! I'm incredibly grateful for this manga to be my first introduction into this isekai genre and I must admit I've been reading little else ever since. It's made me hungry for more and I won't be stopping any time soon!
