She was ready to break hearts- not the fourth wall. Our heroine, Kira, an indie game dev and self-professed romcom addict, wakes up in the body of Lady Verenia Eltis, a supposed "villainess" in a cliché magical academy setting-but there's just one catch: The game doesn't exist. Like, at all. There is no source material, no dating sim, no anime. It's not an otome game. It's just... a weirdly genre-aware fantasy world that thinks it's a romcom game. Everyone talks like they're in a visual novel. The world has routes. Love interests sparkle. Confession flags trigger sparkly music. But there's no main heroine-and Verenia is the only one who seems to notice that nothing makes sense.

✨ONC 2026 Longlister✨ Kae and Ryan really hate each other. But when a magical temple and a deadly curse force them together, they must fight lies, danger, and the unbreakable bond that grows between them... whether they like it or not.
