Otome Game Novel Cliches

What are the clichessame that is so overdone in this genre? I've read some:

  • Villainous Noble Girls done bad.
  • Transmigrating in the body of a Villainess. Also, the villainess is not the bad one but the protagonist. (That makes the villainess not a villainess, though).
  • Villainess works her ass to escape death flags and have a happy ending.
  • While she's at it, she triggers scenes of love interests and gathers a reverse harem around her.
  • Yes, she became kind to them a little bit and they fell inlove to her because of some shallow reason.
  • Let's not forget how kind she is for trying to save everyone who doesn't really have a connection with her just because she knows the plot flow.
  • Somehow, some villainess wanted to freaking stick to the plot until the story's starting scene launches so that predicting will be easier later. Seriously, bruh? She should've change it in the beginning.
What else is there?

Also please recommend me something well-made. I don't mind cliches, as long as they were done properly.

Interesting. Thanks for the recommendations! I never knew there are stories like these.

You really considered the tropes. I never put through thought into it.

Recs:
Shini Yasui Kōshaku Reijō to Shichi-nin no Kikōshi: has the tropes but the story is interesting.

Akuyaku Reijou wa Danna-sama wo Yasesasetai: she is not reincarnated and does not have knowledge of the future. She was the villian, but there so much more to the story. Main storyline is completely translated.

I Don’t Want to Become a Villainess, So I Aim at Becoming a Perfect Lady Together with the Prince! Again, she wasn't reincarnated but one of the capture targets was. She overheard a conversation and decided she didn't want to become the 'villianess' so takes steps to change.

I'm sure I have more since I like the otome game novels.

I really hate the ones that focus on villainess that go into a craft like making perfumes and soap etc and that's like the bulk of the story.

40% of it is the process, selling , and how it impacts society. It's like for real? I came here to read a shoujo drama story not a guide to being a inventor.

- villaness wants to hit the destruction flags, has nothing to do with being able to predict, that is her goal
- no reverse harem, though people do become friendly towards her, she actually sets up the harem members with other people
