Saw this months after the fact. Image is not loading for me so the title made me think it was somehow an otome isekai about dinosaurs! That was incorrect, it's actually this
OVERVIEW
A community for Otome Isekai series, the female-oriented genre where the main character is transported to an otome-game like world.
Kept the name so people looking for an alternative to r/OtomeIsekai could easily find it, but added the "Plus" to reflect that the genre has evolved to include adjacent series.
I'm happy to hand over control if someone else wants to take over.
GUIDELINES
Open to feedback on this section. If this ends up taking off then maybe the definition of OI and discussion will need to be stricter. Until then, I don't think there's a need to feel restricted by technicalities.
EXAMPLES
Female main character isekais into an otome game as a villainess
Male main character's commentary on the female lead who isekai'ed as the villainess
Added this to point out that the main character (MC) does not necessarily need to be a woman, but if the MC is not a woman, it'll generally need more OI setting pieces to qualify as an OI.
Female main character isekais into the world of a (non-otome game) fantasy book she read
None of the characters are isekai'ed but the setting is otome-esque and one of the female main characters is a villainess
Icon: The One Within the Villainess because Remilia is unrivaled
Banner: My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! because it's a literal otome isekai
