Otome Isekai is a sub-genre of Isekai where the main character(s) are in some way transported to another world that resembles an otome game...

It is essentially the girly version of the modern shounen isekai that goes in the direction of female wish fulfillment. Instead of stuck in an action game, she's stuck in a romance novel or romance game. It is almost always "died and reborn there" rather than the sort of "stuck" we see in Sword Art Online or the "teleported" we saw in the 90s.

Here I put some of the romance manhwas that I love and some even have a few similarities, types like Historical (Duke/Duchess, Prince/Princess, Empress/Emperor, King/Queen, Lady), Villainess/Villains, Family, Magic, and a few modern ones...
