Otome Isekai+

OVERVIEW

A community for Otome Isekai series, the female-oriented genre where the main character is transported to an otome-game like world.

Kept the name so people looking for an alternative to r/OtomeIsekai could easily find it, but added the "Plus" to reflect that the genre has evolved to include adjacent series.

I'm happy to hand over control if someone else wants to take over.

GUIDELINES

DO NOT post links to unofficial translations, especially in the post title. It can cause issues for translators and force them to stop. (Also please support the author if available in your country.)
Related items are more than welcome. I love botched translations and scribbles artists try to pass off as horses and would love to continue seeing these types of posts. However, posts should have a connection to Otome Isekai content.
If you post a photo, please include the source
Spoilers are not allowed in post titles. They are allowed in comments, but must be hidden.

Open to feedback on this section. If this ends up taking off then maybe the definition of OI and discussion will need to be stricter. Until then, I don't think there's a need to feel restricted by technicalities.

EXAMPLES

Classic OI Example: Lady Rose Wants to Be a Commoner

Female main character isekais into an otome game as a villainess

OI Twist Example: An Observation Log of My Fiancée Who Calls Herself a Villainess

Male main character's commentary on the female lead who isekai'ed as the villainess

Added this to point out that the main character (MC) does not necessarily need to be a woman, but if the MC is not a woman, it'll generally need more OI setting pieces to qualify as an OI.

Modern OI Example: Who Made Me a Princess?

Female main character isekais into the world of a (non-otome game) fantasy book she read

Otome Isekai Adjacent Example: Your Throne

None of the characters are isekai'ed but the setting is otome-esque and one of the female main characters is a villainess

Icon: The One Within the Villainess because Remilia is unrivaled

Banner: My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! because it's a literal otome isekai

[My In-laws are obsessed with me] It is coming back!

Hello, readers. This is author Seungwoo.

There's been no news for a long time. It's been a long time.
I thought it would be better to set a definite schedule for the series before posting an announcement,
but I'm still concerned about the readers who are still waiting, so I'm sending my regards through this method.

My health has recovered somewhat since my hiatus.
However, resuming my manuscript wasn't as easy as I thought. I felt a strong sense of urgency to not publish unless I could produce satisfactory results. It was a difficult time for me, too, wondering why it was taking so long.

The fact that my insecurities were felt by my assistants and those around me also felt a burden. I sought counseling and worked to regain my work rhythm, and fortunately, I'm now in a position to resume my work.

The series is scheduled to resume sometime in the second half of this year.
I'll let you know the exact schedule as soon as it's finalized.

Thank you for your patience.
Your words of support have been a great source of strength.

It's a little late, but I hope you stay healthy and peaceful this year.
I'll be back with a great manuscript.
Thank you. I always cherish it.
