isekai without the boring power fantasy

 
I remember finding this manga at a time where I was having trouble with even keeping up with one-chapter updates on a weekly basis, where I was avoiding pretty much anything that needed my attention for more than a few minutes at a time. The chapters were short and easy, and only had around 15 at the time. 

The story is called I Reincarnated into an Otome Game as a Villainess With Only Destruction Flags (or, oas n bookdepository, the official translation is titled My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! - a little bit shorter!), and as you can guess from the length of the title, that pretty much explains it. A young girl from modern Japan dies and is reincarnated into a character in the otome game she was playing before she died, but the character she played happens to be the villain. She is first reincarnated as an 8 year old kid, so it starts out really cute, but honestly, even when they grow older (they start magic school at 15), the mood of the manga is really sweet and adorable.

Since the manga is not yet finished, I also read the (fantranslated) light novels and I enjoyed those as well, but I definitely prefer the manga. Also, there's an anime coming up, and I can't wait! I hope you'll give it a try if it sounds like something you'd enjoy.
I want to recommend a few other things that have helped me when I was really down and needed something to distract me or just cheer me up, so I added the tag 'comfort soup' for this!
