5.0

*Updated Review 2022 (Will be further updated once I find my notes from last night)*
Be still my heart.

This series has been enthralling thus far (Vol. 6). So I wanted to return to where it all started and get a fresh perspective while creating a proper review for this series. The first novel introduces us to Konoha, a young woman who insisted that one day she would be reincarnated and began to write a novel envisioning what her reincarnated life would be like. She filled it with danger, questionable plot choices, and of course the handsome Ginoford Dandelion styled entirely after her type of man. However, when she's suddenly hit by a truck and isekai'ed into the world she wrote, she's not reincarnated as Konoha, but rather the young evil sister... Iana Magnolia! Suddenly desperate to not die so suddenly after regaining her memories, she tries to find ways to save her sister Konoha Magnolia and ensure her happily ever after to Ginford. Of course, there's more than one obstacle that stands in her way! She's not only on house arrest, but she has her future killer looming over her shoulder pretending to be her new butler, Sol!

This plot alone as I previously expressed is a breath of fresh air, and it provides a great storyline that will have you continually flipping to the next page dying to know what happens next... and if Sol really is the main love interest. Finally, the art alone is exquisite and pleasing to the eyes. Just trust me and pick this up.

What a fun twist to the stereotype of reincarnation!! Konoha invented a story for the purpose of reincarnating into the MC, and ended up becoming the Villainess! ~ Super cute plot with good humor and gorgeous art!
