At one point you are working at a animations studio, and then you just died. And you didn’t even hate your life. The biggest irony? You reincarnated at the same game you were previous working in. And the cherry on the top? You’re the villain of this story. **Prologue completed + interlude, with a total of +40k words (without code)** **Features:** - Play as male, female, or nonbinary, cis or trans. - Be gay, lesbian, bi, straight, ace, or romance anyone regardless of your sexuality. - Play as the villain of a game you were previously animating, just before dying. - Choose your powers wisely and discover a world of magic—from elemental spells to darkness, and blood magic. - Uncover the rotten lies hidden among the nobility and clergy. And discover the tragic truth about your death. - Be evil or good, a hero, or a true villain. Destroy the kingdom, save it, or both. You choose. - Meddle with the gods and decide the fate of the world. - But most importantly, take care of your sanity. You won’t wanna lose it. > **Update log** > > 08/03/2026 - Prologue (+20K words, without code/ Total +20K) > > 09/08/2026 - Review and adjustments > > 11/02/2026 - Interlude (+20K words, without code/ Total +40K) To play the demo, go here: [CoGDemos](https://cogdemos.ink/play/vainglory/i-died-and-got-reincarnated-in-an-otome-game-but-now-im-the-villain/mygame) AI Disclosure: No — This project does not contain the output of Generative AI Yes — This project contains the output of Generative AI ---

Good so far. Kind of ironic eventually waking up in the game we saved. We either indirectly saved ourselves in this new life or screwed ourselves over. MC isn’t a quiter regardless so bring on the new life. Hopefully we can customise our character with our skills being brought with us. I’m guessing stats menu isn’t ready so yet cos it doesn’t work. ---

Forgive me for being blunt but are you sure you’re the right person to be pointing out spelling mistakes given how poorly written / coherent your own comment is? This isn’t a personal attack, my point is that people need a certain mastery of the language to be able to identify what is wrong. Your poor English makes you an unreliable critic in regards to grammar. ---

> [@MR\_games\_M](#): > > I think you should give the game a read yourself so you could see any spelling issues I will. I did a little already and noticed severals. Soon i will try to fix it. About the status. I actually still thinking about that. I don’t want to be status heavy, so probably won’t have the opposed status thing. I think about focusing on the MC choosing traits, like the ones you mention. But let’s see how it goes . ---

Alot of typos but I’m interested. I really wanna know about the power system. Are we gonna have different power choices or a set one? (hopefully not ice) are play styles just weapons or can get like a iron or dragon scale body power and start martial arts? Are there poly routes?? P.S. boss lady is the wife so she HAS TO COME TOO. Can’t give a man a sweet beautiful woman then take away 😭💔. ---

I really like the story, especially more since it’s rare to find something like these in the wild. Yeah, there’s the grammar that needs to be talked about but since it’s likely your first time, then it’s okay so long as it is fixed at a later date. Now, I do hope that the person we become in our transmigration is gender selectable so that I can get that trope of a male becoming a female (and vice versa) and see some text about having their mind and body in dissonance with each other. ---

Will it is to be expected after all English is not my language and because of that I wanted the author to read the game so if they find anything they don’t like they can deal with it ---

Hii. About the powers, one of my inspirations is the: Villainess level 99. So Im at least inclined to put a darkness power, but Im still thinking about it. For now I’m not thinking about putting a poliromance (I don’t even know how to write a romance to be sincere), but maybe in the future. And the boss, yes, she’s definitely one of the ROs, but because of her “position” she will not appear until a little later in the story. ---

> [@Elysia\_Supremacy](#): > > it’s likely your first time It is. At least writting a story in english > [@Elysia\_Supremacy](#): > > I do hope that the person we become in our transmigration is gender selectable It was actually one of my ideas in the beginning, especially because it would be something relatable if the MC were trans. But I don’t think I would know how to write something interesting with it, so I abandoned the idea. But maybe in the future, If I improve my writing enough. ---

The premise sounds really fun, especially the twist of being reincarnated into a game you worked on and then discovering you’re the villain. 20k words for the prologue is also impressive! I’m definitely curious to see how the story handles the villain’s perspective and whether you can actually change the original storyline. ---
