Overview

Catarina Claes, the young daughter of a noble family, one day bumps her head and regains memories of her past life as an otaku. It is then that she realizes she has been reborn into the world of the otome game Fortune Lover, reincarnated as the game's villainess who, regardless of what route the player took in the original game, is doomed to be either killed or exiled. In order to avoid these routes that lead to doom, Catarina begins taking countermeasures to try and avoid things going the same way as the game. This, however, ends up having unexpected consequences on her relations with the other characters of the game's world.

My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! -Pirates of the Disturbance- is a strong extension of the original series. With returning voice actors from the original anime series, a well-written original story, and a whimsical soundtrack, it’s a great visual novel to pick up. Your fun fate awaits!
This game is highly recommended for those who already love the property, but given my lack of knowledge of the series, I can also say it’s great for newcomers who love otome games with a sense of humour. Catarina Claes may be the best otome protagonist I’ve encountered yet, and I hope she gets another adventure on consoles soon.
I think I would have appreciated My Next Life as a Villainess so much more if I was an existing fan of the property.

Unfortunately, too much of that washed over my head. While I totally respect...
My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! -Pirates of the Disturbance- masterfully blends the charm of the original series with a captivating new story. The engaging narrative, lovable characters, and strategic decision-making make this title a must-play for fans of the otome genre and enthusiasts of the My Next Life as a Villainess franchise....
