* SerialNumbersFiledOff: The story is about a character who dies prematurely and finds herself in an OtomeGame playing the part of the villainess. The original heroine is a [[HairOfGoldHeartOfGold blond]], [[IncorruptiblePurePureness pure-hearted]] commoner who is sought-after by four distinct suitors: the crown prince (who is the villainess\\\'s fiancé), the villainess\\\'s brother, a wild child who is the villainess\\\'s personal archnemesis, and a wealthy aristocrat. However, the \\\"villainess\\\" eventually forms a close relationship with the pure heroine, and her carefree attitude gradually draws more and more people to her side. Now, [[LightNovel/MyNextLifeAsAVillainessAllRoutesLeadToDoom where have we heard this before]]?

For the reason:

-> \\\"Also this novel is not at ALL a close of Bakarina. I mean, if you\\\'re going to call it a clone of something, at least pick one of the Korean villainess stories that it much more closely resembles.\\\"

The issue here is that the YMMV page is for audience reactions, and one of the most common reactions to the story is how similar it is to \\\"Bakarina\\\". You can literally go to the comments of the very first chapter on Tapias, and the \\\'\\\'majority\\\'\\\' of the comments are about how similar the premise is to Bakarina. While, yes, \\\"Villainess Reincarnation\\\" fiction is a very common genre in eastern novels and comics, that fact does not change how similar the setup is to Bakarina and, more importantly, it doesn\\\'t change \\\'\\\'\\\'that this is one of the first reactions people have about the work\\\'\\\'\\\'. Again, the reaction is SO common in this case that I can\\\'t see a single reason to justify this removal.

That being said, maybe the example can be rewritten to sound more like how fans perceive the work than it actually being a carbon copy. I hadn\\\'t actually read the entire series when I wrote that example before, but now I\\\'ve done so and could probably write an improved version.
