And for some of the more unusual ones, the author even wrote warnings, which is really thoughtful. If you see this, you can read with confidence. I saw someone commenting that the female lead is a younger sister, feel free to criticize, but what kind of otome novel are you reading if you don't empathize with the characters? We don't welcome those who secretly enjoy otome novels while commenting on the female lead, stay away from us otome fans. There are all kinds of genres, whether it's older woman/older man or younger woman/older woman raising, you can choose what you like. If you don't like it, we'll switch to another one. After reading, you'll feel warm inside, of course, this is just fiction. Don't project it onto reality. Finally, I hope you enjoy reading, welcome to comment.

    The first and third books are by the same author, with exceptionally inspired writing. The third book is a bit more immature compared to the first, as it's the author's first work, and it finished relatively quickly, though it includes epilogues.

    Many people don't distinguish between "original heroine" and "otome" and use "original heroine" in the context of otome. "Original heroine" refers to the author's original female protagonist.

It's so good, and there are many side stories. I think this one has the strongest sense of immersion.
