After being forced to work overtime for the umpteenth time in a month, Yukimura Rina drags herself home, exhausted and in need of some relaxation. She downloads an otome game, starts playing, and passes out...only to wake up as Ekaterina, the villainess of the game! Her new reality overwhelms her, but she soon recovers thanks to the care of her handsome, kind, and responsible new big brother, Alexei. There's one little issue, though. If the game follows its original scenario, only the worst awaits her and her dearest brother! Rina, or rather, Ekaterina, now has two goals: find a way to avoid doom, and protect her new big brother from the horrors of overwork! (Source: J-Novel Club)

Read the full take

Overtime is the enemy, and this story knows it. A worn-out office worker wakes up as a villainess in an otome game, and the vibe shifts fast. The comedy lands without trying too hard, which is exactly what you want after a long week. The big draw is the brother-and-sister bond. It is sweet, protective, and honestly the best thing here. The run is short, so there is no filler to wade through. That is a rare gift. Here is the honest bit. The stakes stay low, so the tension shows up late and feels soft. If you want fights, go elsewhere. If you want a feel-good story with a warm core, you have a winner. It is light, quick and kind. Read it on a slow evening and it hits the spot.
