oh look, yet another dating simulator villainess isekai
3 stars
I picked this up to read at the same time as @RetroTimeLady@read.gender.systems so we could have a cute virtual date night where we talked about it. I was able to get through it in a single sitting.
The story featured snappy, back and forth dialog, interesting world building, and a surprising twist. Oh, and it was indeed "what they call gay." Of these, the banter between Rae and Claire was probably the shining feature. I am told there is also a manga and an anime adaptation, but I can't imagine dialog flowing as well as it did here in other formats.
We'll probably pick up with volume 2 in a couple weeks, and I'm looking forward to it.
