Nia, Saintess stuck in cursed Otome game

When Nia suddenly woke up inside an Otome game as its so-called heroine, "happy" was the last word that came to her mind. Especially once she realized which game it was, definitely not the sweet, hand-holding romance kind. No, she’d landed smack in the middle of a reverse harem crawling with possessive, narcissistic, and flat-out unhinged male leads, where the so-called "best ending" was nothing more than becoming some lunatic’s pampered little pet.

But Nia wasn’t about to roll over and accept that. Momma didn’t raise no quitter. If the game was fucked up, she’d just have to be more fucked up than the game itself, and turn the crazy back on the so-called love interests.

Once upon a time, Nia was just another ordinary girl on Earth. She lived simply, mostly glued to her PC, gaming away her nights. Then a car accident hit the reset button on her life. Only instead of the void, she woke up in the body of a heroine from one of the Otome games she used to play.

Of course, it couldn’t be one of the wholesome ones. No, she had to land in "Dark Desires", one of the most fucked-up titles out there. The kind where every male lead was a yandere, a sadist, or a psychotic control freak. Bastards who saw "no" as foreplay, and who would gladly break her down, collar her, and call it love.

She knew the script all too well, and she wasn’t having any of it. If she was doomed to play this role, she was going to play it on her own terms. The heroine’s body came with one advantage: holy powers tied to her eventual saintess awakening. Problem was, per the game’s plot, that awakening only came after she’d been broken into someone’s toy. Like hell she was letting that happen. Still, the potential itself was an edge, it gave her small divine powers even before awakening and Nia wasn’t about to waste it.

So before the “story” could even begin, Nia spent years training, both physically and magically. If she was going down, she’d go down swinging. She hardened herself for two fronts: the obsessive assholes who thought obsession was love, and the greater evil promised by the game’s story.

Now her path has led her to the Doselian Magical Academy, a breeding ground for nobles, monsters in human ski
