I Favor the Villainess Chapter 53 Release Date & Where To Read

Oohashi Rei was just a normal office worker. Her life was quiet and simple, with long work hours and little excitement. But there was one thing she truly loved—Revolution, her favorite otome game. She played it often, dreaming of being part of its dramatic world filled with handsome princes, school life, and romance.

One day, something incredible happened.

Rei woke up not in her bed, but in a strange and beautiful world. To her shock, she had become the main character of Revolution! Somehow, she had entered the game itself, and she now lived inside the body of the game’s heroine. She was now a student at a famous noble academy, surrounded by powerful and charming characters.

But the biggest surprise came when she met the first person in this new world—Claire François.

Claire was not the heroine or a love interest. In the game, she was the main villainess. She was proud, noble, and always tried to make the heroine’s life difficult. However, for Rei, Claire was her favorite character. Even when playing the game, Rei had admired Claire’s bold attitude and strong will.

Now that she was inside the game, Rei had a plan: forget the male love interests. She wanted to romance Claire instead!

I Favor the Villainess Plot

From that moment on, Rei began her bold and funny quest to win Claire’s heart. She followed her around, gave her gifts, and even complimented her in strange ways. Claire, who was used to being feared or disliked, had no idea how to deal with this sudden attention. She tried to ignore Rei, but slowly, things began to change.

Rei’s love for Claire wasn’t fake. She truly admired her strength, beauty, and confidence. Claire, though confused at first, started to see that Rei was different. She wasn’t just the heroine of a game anymore—she was someone who cared deeply, even in a world where things didn’t always make sense.

Rei’s journey was filled with laughter, misunderstandings, and sweet moments. While the original game had many male romance options, she ignored them completely. Her heart was set on the so-called villainess, and nothing could stop her.

In this unusual love story, the roles were reversed. The heroine chased the villain, and the villain slowly began to open her heart. Along the way, Rei proved that love doesn’t always follow the rules—especially in a world built for someone else’s story.

This is a romantic comedy about finding love in unexpected places, turning the game on its head, and showing that even villains can be loved. Oohashi Rei’s new life has only just begun, and with Claire by her side, it’s sure to be full of surprises.
