In My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom!, carefree young noble Katarina Claes regains the memories of her previous life after an accident and realizes she has been reborn in Fortune Lover, the otome game she once played obsessively. The revelation is worse than a fantasy come true: she is not the heroine or a harmless supporting character, but the story’s villainess, whose established routes end in exile, ruin, or death. With that fate hanging over her, Katarina turns every lesson, conversation, and improvised hobby into a strategy for dismantling the doom flags waiting ahead.
Her frantic plan for simple survival gradually rewrites the world around her. Gerald Stuart, Keith Claes, Alan Stuart, Nicol Ascart, Mary Hunt, Sophia Ascart, Maria Campbell, Anne Shelly, and Sirius Deek are drawn into the changes caused by her unpredictable kindness and complete lack of villainous grace. Friends, rivals, and love interests alike begin moving outside the script Katarina thought she understood, and even the smallest detour can alter the future she feared. The result is a playful fantasy comedy built on misunderstanding, romance, and shifting fate, as Katarina keeps pushing back against the role written for her and tries to create a future that ends in anything but doom.
