We went from "Villainess Nobles in Otome Games trope is common enough to have a spinoff genre" (allegedly) to "Villainess Nobles in Games are rare compared to in manga and anime..." truly what an inundated genre does to a trope

Existential horror would be my response. But there is another possibility. Chloe may have been a famous historical figure; similar to Marie Antionette. The one that was beheaded during the French Revolution. I could see someone basing a game character off of a historical figure like that. Either way, it's a mystery for Chloe to solve. I'm intrigued.

What if Chloe is from a video game, but it's one that doesn't exist yet? A game that her company is going to make. And she can have an influence on the final product, and thus change what happened to her in her previous life inside the game. But if she succeeds in doing so and prevents her execution, then she'll have never been reborn, and met any of the people in her current modern life. That would be a fun dilemma.

I absolutely love it when Chloe freaks out and over-reacts. Her bursting into that meeting was superb. I'm really enjoying that ambiguity of how her boss feels about her. Does he have a romantic or physical attraction to Chloe (ugly bastard tag)? Or does he feel something more akin to friendship or a younger brother type? Maybe the boss had a friend or sibling that was ugly and got bullied.

The confusion and misunderstandings just keeps multiplying. The boss has no idea why Chloe is behaving the way she does. And Chloe has no idea why the boss is being kind to her. I hope we get some scenes with the female co-worker (whose name I've forgotten) soon. It feels like she's falling behind the boss, in terms of relationship building with Chloe. I strongly suspect that we'll eventually get the romance tag added at some point. The question is who Chloe ends up with.

I feel bad for Chloe, in regards to her fear of being beheaded. It's partly played for humor, but the nightmares and overwhelming fear and panic are real. I hope that someday Chloe reaches the point where she trusts someone enough to tell them the truth about her past. It's a huge trauma that I don't want her to have to deal with all on her own.

Based on the flashback, it looks like that female servant framed Chloe. And because no one would listen to Chloe, that servant basically got away with it. If Chloe is from a game world, we'll probably learn more clues about what happened and the other characters involved, as the game is developed.

Yeah, could you comprehend something like that happening? Imagine, that you are nothing but a fictional character, a figment of imagination nothing more than an amalgamation of tropes that the person who thought you up - your god - liked.

Imagine discovering that all of your triumphs and failures in life, your relationships with the people closest to you, every single personality trait that makes you you, was nothing but a backstory. An opening paragraph to justify your existence in a world of zeroes and ones, in which every action you make is not for your own benefit, but to provide amusement for beings in a higher plane of existence.

Could you imagine how Chloe feels, to realize that her cavalcade of misfortune was nothing more than a bad ending in a computer program? What will she do when she witnesses girls cosplaying as her for the next Comiket? When she sees that a speedrunner getting to her perfect route in less than 20 minutes? And what of the countless NSFW doujins she’s sure to find from the most degenerate of artists?

Outstanding analysis. It would be a world shattering discovery and extremely depressing. I wouldn't blame Chloe for feeling anger and resentment towards the people writing this game.

the nightmares are SO real, not to mention the trauma affecting them in this new life. totally understandable.

interesting though that the story seemingly hasn't even been actually released yet? and the protagonist of the story is a villainess protagonist! it is true there's been a lot of it in manga and anime, and not much changes in the game sphere so that's an interesting take on it

There's no reverse-isekai just some old man thinking too much of certain characters and it ingrained in his head.

Ohhhh.. that was good! Isekai villianess ends up developing an otome game of herself?! Talk about smashing tropes together! Very clever! I can see this one getting an adaptation!

Is the scenario writer the advisor lady that got her executed? Or is she really from the game that hasn't been made yet?
