Synopsis:

Eleanor, a solitary female knight who was reincarnated into what appears to be a medieval world, arrives at the royal capital's academy, following the customs of the nobility.

Unbeknownst to her, this is the setting for a certain otome game, and her fellow student, the reincarnated villainess, is in the midst of altering the original story!

Unaware of this, Eleanor settles things with her fists with men and approaches girls' gatherings with rationalism, unintentionally deviating from the original plot.

While the villainess wonders, "What's with this girl, is she a pay-to-win character?", Eleanor's actions, ignoring the established world, stir up trouble—!?

Comments: Happy Pride Month! To celebrate, here’s something I learned about in the JNC discord - a series about a guy who knows nothing about otome games who is reincarnated as a girl and decides to just brute-force it. We already have tons of villainess stories, but one where a character just steamrolls the entire conventions of the genre is one that sounds funny.
