So, after a long break with VNs I'm finally back. I'm currently reading Gahkthun of the Golden Lightning, and I'm loving it so far! Right now I've finished 3 chapters, and I'll try to write a more extensive reaction after I finish the whole VN.

Actually, at this point there's an entire very popular genre of LNs with a very similar premise, including some novels where the MC is reincarnated as a servant of the villainess rather than a villainess herself like the OP mentioned. I just tried to search "villainess" and "Akuyaku Reijou" on vndb, and it turns out that there are a few modern VNs that are at least inspired by this genre of LNs. Which I find pretty funny. But it could make a decent VN if done right, I believe.

The House in Fata Morgana

Spider volume 12 is pretty brutal, lol. Well, I guess it was to be expected, since the novel itself pretty much spoiled the outcome many volumes back.

I hope it's better than the anime.

I did a quick vndb search, which leaves only two results, one of which is an otome game. Doesn't seem to be it, but who knows.

If I'm not mistaken, you enter her route if you aim for Nagisa but make a wrong choice at some point.

I watched the first two episodes. Honestly, felt too devoid of conflict for my tastes, so I decided not to continue. Also, if you want more relaxing isekais I think you might enjoy Saint's Power is Omnipotent, which is also currently airing. I still haven't started the anime, though I definitely should, but the LN really works well for me as a dose of a calm and healing slice of life. I hope it's adapted well. The rating on MAL doesn't seem too good, but it generally doesn't matter that much. They are somewhat similar in the way that there's never any real threat for the MCs and

Honestly, unless I decide to revisit Himawari one day and realize that I somehow completely misunderstood it and it's actually the best thing ever, Island is on my hard skip list. PS. After many months I suddenly decided to pick up another random VN, and, well, it's trash made for people with a yandere fetish. Well, the art is somewhat good (though the sprites look like zombies), and it's very short (though I didn't get all the endings), but that's everything that's even remotely good about that game.

Well, I've never seen the anime, but from the way you describe it, it seems to be quite botched. Sounds as if they included the main plot point but skipped all the explanations and the character motivations. I mean, it's not like the original light novel is that good. The writing is pretty amateurish, and the story is kind of garbagey (in a good sense). I mean, the author literally used "chuuni lover" as a pseudonym when he posted the original WN, so what else would you expect. Still, the pacing is extremely good, and, unlike many light novels which lose any sense of direction after a few vol

Happy birthday to @Dergonu!

Honestly, I don't dislike Kasumi that much, but her route is pretty meh compared to the common route. I know that pretty much everyone who played it says that it's the worst route in the game and eventually it gets better, but I don't know, it just made me to completely lose interest in the game, so I ended up dropping it.
