The Troubles of Miss Nicola the Exorcist #1
The Troubles of Miss Nicola the Exorcist: Volume 1
After an untimely death, a Shinto exorcist finds herself reincarnated into another world as Miss Nicola von Weber. And that’s just the start of her troubles. On Nicola’s first day at a new school, she’s reunited with her childhood friend Sieghart. He’s now a handsome marquess who acts like a spoiled child around her, and wherever he goes, strange incidents follow. You see, Sieghart’s beauty attracts both people and...otherworldly admirers. Nicola thus has to put her homework aside and use her skills as an exorcist to save him—all while trying to avoid his inevitable proposal, for Sieghart once swore he’d never marry anyone but her. And so Nicola’s hectic, haunted life continues with a splash of romance, which she almost finds more annoying than the ghosts. All Nicola wants is normalcy, and this is the story of how she’ll (try to) get it.

Boring and just didn’t do a thing for me. DNF at 21%.
2, not horrible but not for me, stars.

Nicola used to be a Shinto exorcist during her previous life in a version of modern Japan were ghosts and demons while invisible to most were real. Reborn as a minor aristocrat, she retained her skills and used them to help those around her, especially Sieghart, the eldest son of a marquess who was constantly plagued by dark spirits fuelled by envy of those around him. The story starts when they enter the academy, where Nicola tries to keep her distance because social class is an issue. The problem is that the supernatural is not about to let things go.
Compared to most isekai villainess kind of story the world feels fairly different in that the supernatural is real, but hidden and only visible to a few. The characters fit the stereotypes except maybe for the MC. At first I thought it was an isekai in name only, it is actually a very important plot point for the main story which is a big plus to me. It creates an intriguing story that sticks to the familiar tropes with enough differences to keep me interested. Having said that, the twist at the end does come rather abruptly, not exactly to the point of it being bad, but leaving me feeling it could have been delivered a bit more gradually instead of some of the minor arcs at the start used to introduce the reader to the characters and world.
Still, an overall decent read, not the best, but you could do a lot worse.
