Synopsis:
"Apparently, this looks like the fantasy world from the Otome game that I used to play in my previous life. “I”, Altrea, am the lively rival character who challenged the heroine again and again until she/I received painful backlashes. Like only chasing to have the engagement canceled in the Magic Academy, even breaking and taking over the Duke’s house. For all these eventful stuff, please just give me a break! Or should I say the heart of the game’s heroine is too scarily impregnable! Living differently with the game’s knowledge? Dating the love interests in real life is super troublesome, so I refuse!

And so my main priority is to definitely not get involved. I will absolutely not go to that academy. I will go to a different country. Living as a Magic Doll Master in a new land is the best way to live. Eh- The Mystic-eyed Doll Princess? Queen Mage of the Netherworld? Even though I seriously tried my best, I have changed class into the last boss. Why !? Wait for a second, It’s a misunderstanding, Stop, forgive me-."

Caroline

@Rahul-Balaggan Have you read it? And if so, what's your take on it? It looks interesting.

Rahul Balaggan

@Caroline No, with so many light novels licensed I have enough of a backlog to work through without adding unlicensed to my reading list, I just play the wait and see what gets licensed game to decide what to read.

Caroline

@Rahul-Balaggan Ooh I see, i do hope they license it cause its seem interesting

I like the idea of the doll companions :) Apparently, they each have their own personalities as well

Silver Sugar Duchess

It’s marked as complete on Syosetu, but there was nearly a year and a half between the final chapter and the one before it so idk if that worries anyone else about the ending.

@gmkz Hopefully it was an epilogue or a look back post. Don't know enough Japanese to figure it out.
