Formerly a regular Japanese Office Lady who overworked herself to death, our protagonist finds herself reincarnated as the heroine of her favorite Otome Game, Rae Taylor of Revolution. As to be expected, there are three Prince Charmings for her to woo, but Rae has no interest in them—no, her sights are solely set on Claire François, the rival character in the original routes.And it's safe to say absolutely nothing will stop her, be it the strict social hierarchy of the Bauer Kingdom, nefarious forces threatening to topple the government, or even Claire herself.I'm In Love With the Villainess (��推��悪役令嬢｡, Watashi no Oshi wa Akuyaku Reijou), originally translated as I Favor the Villainess, is a Japanese Web Serial Novel by author Inori (��り｡) originally posted here on Shousetsuka ni Narou from 2018 to 2021, with author-approved translations by Jingle up to #242, and remaining chapters #243-268 by sephallia. It was later published as a series of Light Novels with illustrations by Hanagata from 2019 to 2021 for five volumes. The series also has a manga adaptation by Anoshimo which began serialization in Comic Yuri Hime in 2020, along with several bonus chapters, Twitter drabbles, and a Claire-focused P.O.V. Sequel, She's So Cheeky for a Commoner!.In April 2020, it was announced Seven Seas Entertainment acquired the license to the series, who later announced acquiring the P.O.V.

If I Wanted You Dead...: Claire refuses to cede a duel even as Thane points out Rae has only used Earth magic, which unlike her Water, loses the Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors to Claire's Fire. Eventually, the ref has to call it. | |

Genre Shift | |
| I'm In Love With the Villainess / int_177a6464 | comment |
Genre Shift: The story begins as a Romantic Comedy set in an Elaborate University High, but quickly shifts focus to discrimination and political corruption. Act 2 plays up the fantasy and adventure elements, though some rom-com elements remain. | |

Gone Horribly Wrong | |
| I'm In Love With the Villainess / int_19df659c | comment |
Gone Horribly Wrong: The King's meritocratic policy appears sound: elevate talented commoners to keep Bauer competitive in an increasingly magic-centric world. Sadly, l’Ausseil himself notes the aristocrats wield too much influence to break the kingdom's stagnation. This leaves Bauer vulnerable to Nur's political interference, throwing it to the brink of a civil war. | |

Multiple Endings | |

Multiple Endings: Both in-universe titles featured various endings: Revolution has one for each capture target, and a fourth where Taylor forgoes romance and becomes a symbol of the revolution, which the story proper is based on. Revo-Lily also had endings for its capture targets, the titular Revolution route, and another where Claire is condemned and executed by Philine. | |

Anachronism Stew | |
| I'm In Love With the Villainess / int_259d5879 | comment |
Anachronism Stew: Justified as the setting is a dating sim created by modern Japanese developers, making certain liberties with the Victorian Era-inspired world inevitable. Rae lampshades this when explaining how fans would be displeased to see the cast in historically accurate, conservative swimwear. Other examples include new students introducing themselves before the class, and the school menu offering gyudon and oyakodon. | |

| I'm In Love With the Villainess / int_2676e225 | comment |
Claire's bullying is ineffective because her tactics are at most minor inconveniences: she'll hide Rae's books, but never destroy them, or shove her in places she's sure to go unscathed. Pipi and Loretta lampshade this in the P.O.V. Sequel, proposing she escalate by hiding glass in Rae's shoes and setting her uniform on fire, to Claire's horror. | |

Funny Background Event | |

Funny Background Event: Unless she's plot-central to the current situation, expect Relaire to be doing funny things in the background in most of her appearances. Typically this can be as simple as sitting on Rae's head, but sometimes she can be seen eating things or fuming at something or other. | |

Wholesome Crossdresser | |
| I'm In Love With the Villainess / int_28f852ea | comment |
Yu looks amazing in women's clothes and isn't fazed during the Cavalier Café because she's a woman inflicted with the crosswise curse. Going further, beyond Rod just enjoying getting a rise out of everyone, Yu is the first noble to go along with the idea willingly, citing the fact he wants to experiment, and Misha immediately jumps onboard with him. Yu enjoys the opportunity to be herself openly, and Misha is both aware of the truth and happy to give Yu the opportunity. | |

Gender Bender | |
| I'm In Love With the Villainess / int_2d88e42c | comment |
Regarding Yu's crosswise curse, Rae offers two solutions. One maintains the status quo: Yu publicly presents male but reverts on occasion, a compromise giving her faction (chiefly Salas & Riche) a male heir while accommodating her dysphoria. The second entails passing her off as a male victim of the curse, confining her to the convent under guise of treatment—a less favorable option sparing their reputations from a failed cover-up, and Yu from her dysphoria. With the Royal Palace refusing compromise, Rae elects for a third: cure Yu and reveal her gender during a massive ceremony. | |

Secret Test of Character | |
| I'm In Love With the Villainess / int_3f7a958b | comment |
Secret Test of Character: Manaria strings Claire along as a means of testing Rae's dedication, and whether she'd make a good partner. It goes horribly right when her methods bring Claire and Rae together, but are so cruel the latter hadn't even considered becoming an item with her. Much of Dole's Noble Bigot demeanor is a facade to both test Claire's capacity to challenge it, and maintain his cover as the Commoner Movement's benefactor. He laments treating Claire this way in his "Reason You Suck" Speech to Dorothea. | |

Author Tract | |
| I'm In Love With the Villainess / int_4eaa9b84 | comment |
Author Tract: The story takes an aside to criticize the Japanese treatment of the LGBT community, which is highly conservative at best. Rae recounts facing a lot of discrimination from social isolation to being considered promiscuous and with no standards, which another character points out is unfair. However, the other character's view of homosexuality is also lightly criticized for being too 'clean' and not recognizing that gay people are gay, not overlooking gender in the name of love. | |

Beneath the Mask | |
| I'm In Love With the Villainess / int_4fbc0887 | comment |
Beneath the Mask: A strong moral of the series is that people are rarely how they appear, often masking their true nature to conform with what they believe society expects of them. Claire, for example, is initially presented as a bully, and since her interactions with Revolution's original protagonist are limited, that is what's expected of Claire. In reality, she's troubled by this and bullies Rae mainly out of a misplaced sense of obligation to meet the proud noble stereotype. This extends to characters like Lene and Lambert, who are exiled and nearly executed because they couldn't be upfront about their incestuous romance, and Rae, who poses as a bubbly sycophant to hide her insecurities and downplay her feelings for Claire. | |

Happy Ending Override | |
| I'm In Love With the Villainess / int_53c5f30e | comment |
Happy Ending Override: It's noted in Act 1's epilogue that Claire and Rae will likely never legally marry, despite the former helping draft the new constitution. A later bonus chapter reveals even women's suffrage was an uphill battle, owing to both misogyny and concerns over their lack of education. Act 2 begins with the François family being sent to Nur, the hostile nation responsible for many atrocities and assassinations in the first act. | |

| I'm In Love With the Villainess / int_54f38833 | comment |
Post-Script Season: The initial story ends at the Revolution arc, with most of the cast receiving happy endings in its "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue. Act 2 picks up a year later with several characters joining the François family as political hostages to the Nur Empire, and follows the events of Revolution: Side Lily, which like the original, features a heroine and titular Revolution route the heroes seek to exploit. | |

Artistic License – History: Subverted during the investigation into corrupt nobles. Rae describes the use of double-entry bookkeeping as another Anachronism Stew, however the use of this accounting method dates back hundreds of years. note specifically, the earliest known double-entry bookkeeping system dates to 1458. | |

No Bisexuals | |
| I'm In Love With the Villainess / int_5679208c | comment |
No Bisexuals: Noted as a prevailing misconception in both Bauer and Japan, with Claire and Misha making It's Okay If It's You rationalizations prior to accepting the possibility of liking both men and women. Reconstructed in the Nur Empire, with many characters being openly bisexual and the orientation largely embraced by society, likely because it's the setting of an in-universe Yuri Genre spin-off. | |

The Conspiracy | |
| I'm In Love With the Villainess / int_5b8c285b | comment |
Rae resorts to such in her interview to become Claire's new personal maid, threatening to expose a less than ethical dealing of her father, Minister of Finance Dor François. It's implied to be quite The Conspiracy, as he's intensely suspicious of Rae's identity when she casually throws out an exact name, date, and considerable sum of money. He pulls a complete 180 and wholeheartedly supports her after an off-screen discussion, implying she made An Offer You Can't Refuse. She's revealed to be aiding Dole's Zero-Approval Gambit to oust the nobility, the pair having devised a plan to save Claire from the revolution. | |

I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: Deconstructed as a major theme of the earlier arcs. Prioritizing your crush's happiness above your own seems commendable, but as Manaria points out, is neither sustainable nor anything but an excuse for Rae to run from her fears of rejection. | |

Fantasy Counterpart Religion | |
| I'm In Love With the Villainess / int_69dff6df | comment |
Fantasy Counterpart Religion: The Spiritual Church borrows heavily from Catholicism, from their habits to the concept of everyone being equal and deserving of a chance to the afterlife. However, the church favors women as they're considered more naturally spiritual, with every cardinal and the pope herself being female. | |

Eve Nuhn despises Rae for stealing her lover, Manaria. She was the maid Manaria mentions falling out with in the Scales of Love arc. Rae, Elie, and other lost children of the spirits are clones created to stop the real Rei Ohashi from ending the Loop System following her soured Reincarnation Romance with Claire. | |

Adaptational Early Appearance: Lene Orso appears earlier in the manga, albeit just in single-page cameos. She's properly introduced after Rae becomes Claire's maid, which is when she first appeared in the web novel. Lily Lilium also makes a brief cameo as the nun treating Matt Monte, the commoner wounded in an altercation with nobility. In the light novel, she first appears when Rae and Claire visit the Spiritual Church. Dorothea appears in a panel discussing cantarella, a poison from the Nur Empire. She's a key figure in the empire arc, which occurs much later in the story. | |

Even her pursuit of Claire applies, with scenes like the spell practice 'fixing' themselves in real-time by slotting Claire into the capture targets' original role. | |

Logical Weakness: What allows the heroes to defeat Louie during the beach arc. The Cantrella poison interacts with his necromancy ring to make him a zombie immune to magical harm, but that doesn't mean he can't be held down by wind magic, nor does it prevent dressers being propelled at him from earth magic or chandeliers brought down on him with fire magic from harming him. Additionally, as he willingly turned himself into an undead form, the silver swords that were located on the ship to deal with the undead once the 'noble hunt' onboard was concluded ended up dealing fatal damage to Louie, who had given himself all the vulnerabilities of being undead. | |

Fireball Eyeballs: The anime uses this trope when someone is especially pissed off, or in one case, when Rae is passionately pursuing beef bowls. For some reason, when Misha gets angry, her flames are blue. | |

Lana suffers one upon realizing her father, Salas, not only brainwashed her into taking the twins hostage and nearly killing Claire, but also tries offing her in the crossfire. | |

Back for the Finale | |
| I'm In Love With the Villainess / int_931fc523 | comment |
Back for the Finale: In the Revolution arc, every main and major side character join Rae's second attempt at saving Claire from being executed by the commoner movement and exposing Salas as a traitor. In the Future of Humanity arc, nearly the entire cast either give Rae and Claire gifts and words of encouragement, or aid their assault against the Demon Queen's forces. | |

Take a Third Option | |
| I'm In Love With the Villainess / int_950bbfa7 | comment |
Take a Third Option: Regarding Yu's crosswise curse, Rae offers two solutions. One maintains the status quo: Yu publicly presents male but reverts on occasion, a compromise giving her faction (chiefly Salas & Riche) a male heir while accommodating her dysphoria. The second entails passing her off as a male victim of the curse, confining her to the convent under guise of treatment—a less favorable option sparing their reputations from a failed cover-up, and Yu from her dysphoria. With the Royal Palace refusing compromise, Rae elects for a third: cure Yu and reveal her gender during a massive ceremony. When May and Aleah are taken hostage, the main characters refuse the Sadistic Choice between Claire and the twins' lives, instead stalling long enough for Ralaire to intervene. In the final battle, the Demon Queen—revealed to be the true Rei Ohashi, demands Claire commit suicide, else she murders everyone in the party. Claire responds by pulling them into an embrace and running herself through, knowing Rae's love for her would invoke a Villainous BSoD. Both Revolution and Revo-Lily have an additional fourth route where the player aids a political revolution in lieu of pursing capture targets. | |

Just Toying with Them | |
| I'm In Love With the Villainess / int_9775a897 | comment |
Just Toying with Them: In the dueling stage of the Academy Knights exam, Rae intentionally only uses earth magic, which is weak against fire, to fight Claire, a fire user, instead of her water magic, which is strong against fire. Despite this self-imposed handicap, she pretty much dominates the fight until the judges call it in Rae's favor as Claire refused to surrender despite the fact that she was nowhere near winning the fight at any point. Claire didn't even notice that Rae was holding back until it was pointed out to her and is suitably pissed when she finds out. | |

Poke the Poodle | |
| I'm In Love With the Villainess / int_991af300 | comment |
Poke the Poodle: Claire's bullying is ineffective because her tactics are at most minor inconveniences: she'll hide Rae's books, but never destroy them, or shove her in places she's sure to go unscathed. Pipi and Loretta lampshade this in the P.O.V. Sequel, proposing she escalate by hiding glass in Rae's shoes and setting her uniform on fire, to Claire's horror. A bonus chapter inverts this when Claire awakens in the original Revolution, seeking an aloof Taylor's attention with bullying harsh enough to Break the Cutie. | |

Took a Level in Badass | |

Took a Level in Badass: Philine begins as a meek, nearly blank-slate character afraid of her own shadow. By the end of the empire arc, she becomes a strong, unifying figure powerful enough to force Dorothea to abdicate her throne. Aleah and May also fit this trope, going from defenseless, shell-shocked orphans to a quad-casting, magic-abosrbing duo capable of rivaling Dorothea. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| I'm In Love With the Villainess / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: Yu looks amazing in women's clothes and isn't fazed during the Cavalier Café because she's a woman inflicted with the crosswise curse. Going further, beyond Rod just enjoying getting a rise out of everyone, Yu is the first noble to go along with the idea willingly, citing the fact he wants to experiment, and Misha immediately jumps onboard with him. Yu enjoys the opportunity to be herself openly, and Misha is both aware of the truth and happy to give Yu the opportunity. Why does Lily conveniently own rare, appearance-changing bracelets? Her father masks their identities whenever the pair conspire against Bauer directly. How exactly does a revolution financially support itself against the notably corrupt, wealth-hoarding nobility? Why, have a noble sponsor them, of course—Dor François, to be specific. | |

Deliberate Values Dissonance | |
| I'm In Love With the Villainess / int_aabe2fb | comment |
Deliberate Values Dissonance: While not as much an issue among nobility, it's noted that commoners, for all their justified grievances with the class system, are fairly sexist. It's an uphill battle for Claire to introduce feminist policies, and even Rae muses it may be too early for commoners to seek equality – not that it dissuades the couple from trying. | |

Take That! | |
| I'm In Love With the Villainess / int_b53077b3 | comment |
The first time Claire, Rae and Misha openly and frankly discuss Rae's sexuality, Claire draws away from Rae as though she expects to be jumped and molested at the spot. Misha criticizes her and asks if she'd molest the first boy she saw. When Claire gets offended, Misha responds with "You see? You just said the same thing to her." This doubles as a Take That! to the common treatment of gays in Japanese media, who are often highly indiscriminate or scare the same sex people around them, which is played for laughs. | |

Trapped in Another World: After Rei's death from overworking, she is later reincarnated as Rae Taylor in her favorite game Otome Game Revolution. Except that Revolution's world turns out to be Earth in the distant future that was created by nanomachines and TAIM, an Artificial Intelligence that works to prevent humanity's end. It mainly runs through a looping system that runs eternally, regulated by a system admin. That and this world's magic is run by nanomachines, as well, which averts the isekai premise entirely. | |

"Where Are They Now?" Epilogue | |
| I'm In Love With the Villainess / int_b77808f2 | comment |
"Where Are They Now?" Epilogue: Both acts feature an epilogue on the cast's new lives. After the Revolution arc: Rae and Claire are happily, albeit unofficially, married with adoptive twin daughters from Mt. Sassal's aftermath. With Claire's aristocratic assets seized, the couple find work as junior instructors at the Royal Academy. Rod renounces his claim to the throne and Bauer's top military commander, with Thane remaining king, albeit as a mostly symbolic ruler under Bauer's constitutional monarchy. Yu is released from confinement, working as a couple with Misha in aiding Bauer's relief efforts. Manaria ascends the throne as Queen of Sousse. Lily goes unprosecuted but enters a self-imposed exile to repent for the crimes she committed under Salas's brainwashing. Lene turns her restaurant, Frater, into a massive success with her now husband Lambert handling its business affairs. Dor François is stripped of his title but serves the new government as an unofficial advisor. Salas, however, is confined, his knowledge and political expertise proving too useful for a death penalty. Like a certain cannibalistic doctor, he's often consulted from his prison cell. After the Future of Humanity arc: The François return to Bauer, and with the twins no longer cursed and far exceeding their school's curriculum, Rae considers letting them skip grades. Claire and Dole are busy preparing to explain the Loop System to world leaders and appoint a suitable candidate for its next administrator. Manaria and Eve reunite, the pair implied to be an item before returning to Sousse. Joel's family initially rejects her transition but sends letters begging her to return after she moves out. Joel believes they'll sort themselves out eventually. The pope seeks to reveal the Loop System to the public, facing opposition from the rest of the Spiritual Church. Rae notes the church will lose a great deal of influence, but the pope has many allies to see her through it. Yu and Misha have gone public with their relationship, working with Lily to lobby the church in support of same-sex marriage. Rod and Thane's relationship has mended, the former's influence growing thanks to his role in stopping the Demon Queen, and the latter hailed as a ruler second only to Manaria in leadership. Philine is officially Empress, reversing Nur's aggressive foreign policy and brokering peace with its formerly annexed nations, starting with Freida's homeland Melica. Lana is now Dole's capable, albeit frequently truant, aide. | |

And given how the Love Triangle pans out, Manaria's efforts only serve to progress Rae and Claire's relationship. The Spiritual Church officially opposes same-sex marriage despite being run almost exclusively by queer women, Riche being the sole exception. Rae fears for Claire's safety following a battle against the Big Bad, asking herself if this is a twist ending where the heroine dies. Claire being the titular villainess, and Rae, the heroine. | |

Barely-Changed Dub Name | |
| I'm In Love With the Villainess / int_c3fb85cc | comment |
Barely-Changed Dub Name: While Rae's original name was Ohashi Rei (大橋 零), her name in the world of Revolution became Rae Taylor (レイ テイラー). While the unofficial fan translation kept the same spelling of her first name as "Rei", the official translation of the light novel spells the new name as "Rae" instead, presumably in keeping with Revolution being a European fantasy setting. This might also explain why Alea (アレア) and Mei (メイ) are changed to "Aleah" and "May" in the official translation. | |

Shout-Out | |
| I'm In Love With the Villainess / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Rae compares Salas' fate in Act 1's "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue to Hannibal Lecter in Slience Of The Lambs, noting their perverse personalities and proclivity to cooperate when their interrogators are women. While lamenting her daughters' disparity in magical aptitude, Rae muses on its similarity to a movie starring "that super macho guy", in which "all of the talent had been concentrated in one twin at birth." Witnessing the Big Bad's fearsome magic, Rae recalls a Curb-Stomp Battle from Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai, where Dark King Veam stuns the party with the power of his weakest spell. | |

Chekhov's Volcano: Mt. Sassal has already erupted once, creating a catastrophe which defined an entire period of the Kingdom's history. Rae knows it will erupt during the peak of the revolution, and much of her actions are to mitigate the inevitable fallout, Claire's death especially. | |

"Eureka!" Moment | |
| I'm In Love With the Villainess / int_d129e13e | comment |
"Eureka!" Moment: In a Curb-Stomp Battle against the Big Bad, Claire pushes Rae away from their deadly magic attack, only to be saved when the Demon Queen uses Rae's custom-made "Uplift" spell. This, and their refusal to kill Claire directly in lieu of sending the Three Great Archdemons leads her to deduce the Demon Queen's true identity... Rae Taylor. | |

If It's You, It's Okay: Claire rationalizes this with Manaria before coming to terms with her bisexuality, and its prevalence in both fiction and closeted bisexuals is often lampshaded when the trope arises. | |

| I'm In Love With the Villainess / int_d32cd9f5 | comment |
Cast Full of Gay: Most of the cast are gay or bi, even if they don't consider themselves such. Claire and Misha, for example, consider themselves straight but make If It's You, It's Okay rationalizations for Manaria and Yu. Rae chalks this up to them living in a society with No Bisexuals. | |

What the Hell, Hero? | |
| I'm In Love With the Villainess / int_d39e327f | comment |
What the Hell, Hero?: The first time Claire, Rae and Misha openly and frankly discuss Rae's sexuality, Claire draws away from Rae as though she expects to be jumped and molested at the spot. Misha criticizes her and asks if she'd molest the first boy she saw. When Claire gets offended, Misha responds with "You see? You just said the same thing to her." This doubles as a Take That! to the common treatment of gays in Japanese media, who are often highly indiscriminate or scare the same sex people around them, which is played for laughs. King Bauer when he offers Rae a reward for foiling Lambert Orso's plans to murder the nobility at the Royal Academy, alongside inciting violence and civil unrest within the commoner classes. He and the rest of the court are understandably shocked and upset when she asks for Lambert, his sister Lene, and their family to merely be disgraced and exiled, rather than executed for treason. | |

With the surviving royals MIA or unable to assist and her initial rescue attempt failed, she's hopelessly exhausted her options. It takes Manaria of all people to bring her back.

Exact Words: Magic can't harm the zombified Louie. Sure enough, water spells fizzle once they touch him. However, he's effectively beaten when Rae, Misha, and Claire use their magic to knock objects into him, and while magical water can't harm him, actual seawater rushing at him can, and wind magic can hold him down, since it's not actually harming him. | |

Spotting the Thread | |
| I'm In Love With the Villainess / int_ec0ce986 | comment |
Spotting the Thread: An observant viewer can tell that something is obviously off when Rei gets displaced into the world of the VN right as the game shows the scene with Claire oddly glitching out and then immediately afterwards she's shown seated mere inches away from her beloved Claire character. A little too convenient, isn't it? You'd be right on the money, as the world that Rei is dropped into is actually a transition from a "world of science" to a "world of magic", with an interim remaining between the two variations of the select few who know the genuine truth of the world at large. | |
