The Villain Orphan's Guide to Romantic Mayhem

Synopsis

What happens when a reincarnation lands you in the role of a villainous orphan in a dating simulation game, with the only way back to your own world being the completion of a twisted plot? For our average protagonist, it's a chance to live vicariously! He's not looking for romance himself, but he absolutely adores watching others fall head over heels. His grand plan? To subtly manipulate the game's events, ensuring maximum romantic chaos for everyone else. His first move involves the game's main villainess. Through a series of 'misunderstandings' and 'near misses,' he manages to spark her interest without getting too involved himself. When the actual love interests arrive, he orchestrates scenarios where they 'interact' with the villainess, even feigning an assault to draw their attention and then 'escaping' the confrontation. Unbeknownst to him, this master manipulation inadvertently captures the hearts of both the villainess and the heroine (whom he's been 'helping' find her own perfect match). Despite his best efforts to remain a background player in the romantic entanglements, he finds himself at the center of countless school rom-com moments, all while desperately trying to avoid any romantic entanglements of his own.
