This is the best otome-game novel I've read so far, and I've read them all up to the 1000th rankings.The characters are liakeable, deep and not one dimentional. There are no evil young masters or spoiled ladies plaguing everyone everywhere. Even the side characters have their own personality.The story is nice and heartwarming. There are good drama and romance moments.Most otome-game's novels discards the game settings and events a few chapters in. In this one, however, a lot of events still matter, and even the climax is a secret event from the game.The MC is likeable and kind. She solves problems being a nice and civilized girl. No faceslaping, killing, hitting or anything like that.All being said there are two bad points about this novel:
- The title: There's nothing yandere in this. While the original game is portraited as yandere, there's no violence in the story, at all. This might annoy some readers that got in expecting horror/gore/suspense.
- Pacing: The pacing is a little too fast and the game setting ended too quickly. There was a lot more that could be done in that arc, especially more development of the game heroine and main villain relationship. (Not the MC but Lily and Gif)
