モブ同然の悪役令嬢は男装して攻略対象の座を狙う (Novel) #1
From Two-Bit Baddie to Total Heartthrob: This Villainess Will Cross-Dress to Impress! Volume 1
The world just isn’t fair and Elizabeth Burton knows that better than anyone. Reincarnated into an otome game as a two-bit villainess, she’s been doomed by the genre’s tropes to a life of misery. What’s a girl to do… but cross-dress her way into the main character’s heart and a guaranteed happy ending of course! After years of blood, sweat, and tears fashioning herself into the perfect heartthrob, all she has to do is wait for the fated first meeting with the main character… or so she thought! As it turns out, her manly charms have come back to bite her in the butt. The other love interests have started cross-dressing too, and they don’t want the main character’s heart—they want Elizabeth’s!

I think I might be too sensitive here, but the MC h who is dressed like a man and dead set on winning the the heroine is at a dance and has THREE guys in drag who want to dance with her. She doesn’t want to do so, but can’t figure out a way to get out of it. Her younger (adopted) brother shows up with a dress for her so she can go to the dance dressed as a woman and not a man.
Rather than change into the dress herself, she goes into the carriage he came in with him and manually FORCES him out of his clothes and into the dress, while he’s screaming NO and AUGH and comes out crying. She uses him as her female-dressed partner. He cried the ENTIRE NIGHT.
That kind of seems like assault to me.
If the genders were switched and it was a man forcibly stripping a woman and then forcing her into men’s clothing, it wouldn’t be funny, it would be appalling. So how is it funny or ok the other way?
I liked the rest of this book, but am on the fence if I want to read the next volume or not. That scene left a bad taste in my mouth. Add in the oblivious MC h whose milkshake brings all the boys to the yard but she just doesn’t realize it and you have a reader who is hard pressed to not roll her eyes. A lot.
Also, HOW is a 12 year old girl kicking the BUTTS of grown men?? The physical abilities of the MC h are OTT in an unbelievable way.
2, this doesn’t stand up to scrutiny, stars.

this is very stupid and very fun and i look forward to v2, but i think it would benefit from some compression and being cut down. an anime adaptation will likely be stronger.

This was entertaining if you're not expecting anything serious. if anything, the story's more on the slapstick side, and common sense... wasn't common at all.
For example, the MC reasoned that she'd need to seduce the heroine in the future because whoever the heroine picked would get a happy ending. ...there wasn't a moment where the MC paused to consider whether the heroine would be into women. The MC wanted to avoid her future fate as a noble lady with a ruined reputation would not be able to live easilty, but then she went to crossdress and learn swordfighting... any of which, if the world had common sense, would cast a shadow on her reputation, the very thing she was trying to avoid. There's also a part where 3 love interests (2 of them being royals) showed up to a ball cross-dressing to escort the MC, and not a single complaint or objection was made. Like... it was treated like it happened everyday, that I was convinced at any time it will be revealed that it was all a dream. But no, it passed by without a single criticism about royal dignity.
If you take out any common sense and treats events happening in the story as being something that happens just "because it'd be funny", you'll be able to enjoy this story more. I let go of my standards after the cross-dressing royal ball and found that I enjoyed it more.
I bought the first 2 volumes, so I'll see whether the 2nd volume would be able to keep my interest.

Elizabeth Burton is surprised to find herself inside an otome game, but she has plans to make her own happy ending by sweeping the female lead off her feet (because anyone the heroine ends up with of course gets a good ending). To that end, she's determined to become the perfect gentleman.
This was more fun than I expected, mostly because Liz has a lot of personality and a very, very one-track mind. Once she decides the only way out is through earning the highest affection from the game's female lead, her plans then all revolve around how to become a male lead that will slot into the game. There's no indication she actually considers herself a man, though. It's just a role she takes on for the sake of her future.
Of course, the irony is that she's such a strong personality that she's twisting the whole story out of joint, accidentally solving the actual male leads' issues while barreling forward on her chosen path. This gets the guys interested in her, and because cross-dressing is the focus of the novel, somehow all the men end up in dresses at one point or another.
I did like this well enough, but since the overall direction was going a bit differently than I thought it would, I'm dropping the series. Still, if the genre interests you, this is a pretty solid book. Recommended.

Two-Bit Baddie is a bit of a silly premise. Reborn as the villainess, instead of trying to befriend the original female hero of the game, why not seduce her? After all, it are the (female) hero and her romantic partner that have a happy ever after. The MC concludes that to be a suitable romantic interest, she better take on the role similar to one of the male love interest tropes, settling on the flirty manly knight since none of the other love interest fits that trope. It results in at times funny read, but some of the jokes are a bit cringe. Still, as long as you don't take things seriously it is a good read. I am curious how the MC will interact with the female hero, because they have not yet met in volume 1...

To be honest, I almost quit. But I decided to stick with it.
It got more fun further into the story.
I'll give this points for some originality.
She cross-dresses only. People thinking she is a man is mostly their own fault.
Being thickheaded is a feature, so I won't complain. It's not to the point of blatant ridiculousness. Maybe it will get tiresome in later volumes, but for now it's fine.
As long as you don't take it too seriously, it's a fun enough romp.
And she hadn't met the heroine yet. That's the next volume. Looking forward to that.

Line漫画で試しに読み始めた漫画（「【単話版】モブ同然の悪役令嬢は男装して攻略対象の座を狙う@COMIC 第1話 (コロナ・コミックス)」）の原作。
漫画の絵柄はちょっと硬くてあまり好みではなかったが、まぁ続きが気になるっちゃ気になるので惰性で読み進めていたら、主人公が全く「女らしく」なる瞬間がない上に、主人公は自分が女性であるという事を一切隠していないにもかかわらず婚約者も全く主人公の事に気付いてない、という今までにない「男装」の物語だったので、続きがとても気になってしまって原作に手を出した。
（同じ「男装令嬢/ゲーム転生系」だと、「悪役令嬢、セシリア・シルビィは死にたくないので男装することにした。 1 Akuyaku Reijou, Cecilia Silvie wa Shinitakunai no de Dansou suru koto ni shita. 1 」があるけれど、こっちは王道の「男装してるとバレてはいけない！」要素があるし、男装してるにも関わらず主人公が女子っぽくなってしまう瞬間が多い）
1巻は、まだまだこれからの物語の前提を構築してる感が強く、物語としてはあまり内容が無いように感じるので
、星は3つ。
けれど、マジで続きが気になる。主人公がどこまで男子モードで行くのか。
また、主人公の意図と関係なく主人公にベタ惚れになってる(この展開はまぁ王道か)周囲の男性キャラ達(本来はゲーム内での攻略対象)が、もろ「男性」っぽい主人公とどのように絡んでくるのか、予想ができないので楽しみ。
（一巻から早々に男性キャラ達の女装姿が登場するとは…）
（それと、珍しく原作の絵が結構好き。主人公が全く女性に見えない描かれ方なのも面白い。）

It's so beautiful watching a trans man crack the eggs of every trans woman in the kingdom by being handsome as hell
