Are there any otome games with a misunderstood villainess MC?

[ynnaliaa]

I feel like I see this trope all the time in manhwa/manga, but I rarely come across it in otome games. I'm looking for an MC who is seen as a villainess or genuinely disliked by the LIs because they believe she's a bad person, when in reality she isn't.

I'd especially love something where the misunderstanding actually plays a big part in the story, rather than just being there for comedy. I'm looking for a heroine with a strong personality, good character development, and a story that takes the whole villainess premise seriously.

Basically, I want that "everyone thinks she's evil, but she's actually not" experience LOL. Any otome recommendations that fit this?

That's not really a thing in actual otome games... It's literally just a bunch of authors copying each other because they've never played an actual otome game.

You might get lucky and find something like that on itch.io, but not on any commercial Japanese or Chinese game.

Virtually none. Even if there are characters similar to a misunderstood villainess, they aren't the female lead—they're actual villainesses.

Characters whose appearance resembles that of a villainess might be positioned as the female lead's best friend.
