Avoid the bad ending at all costs! When her fiancé breaks up with her in front of the entire student body, noblewoman Aileen d’Autriche is devastated-or she would have been, if that wasn’t also the exact moment memories of her past life came crashing back! Turns out, she’s been reborn as the villainess of a dating sim…and according to the story, she’s slated to die at the hands of the demon king in three months! But Aileen’s already got a plan: Step one, get Demon King Claude to fall in love with her. Step two, live!

Change the storyline at all costs! Armed with memories of her past life, Aileen d’Autriche is dodging the flags for a bad ending like a pro. With talented lackeys partners at her disposal, plenty of demons to bribe for information, and a new business plan to exploit the rich, things are going smoothly…But how is one to deal with a problem they have no prior knowledge of? Turns out, Aileen isn’t the only one with memories of a past life, and between both of their meddling, there’s no telling where the story is headed now!

It’s the final countdown to the end of the game and Lilia’s determined to get things back on track-but while a happy ending may be at stake for the heroine, it’s a matter of life and death for the villainess! Will the powers and schemes of the Maid of the Sacred Sword prove too much for Aileen, or will she be able to emerge victorious?

Villains Have Their Own Routes Too!​When her engagement to the prince ends unceremoniously, details of the young noblewoman Aileen’s past life come rushing back and help her realize she’s living inside the world of one of her favorite otome games—as the heroine’s greatest rival! However, her memory has more plot holes than bad fan fiction… and the only certainty is that if she doesn’t do something quick, her death is all but assured. The hero/main-love-interest can’t be relied on, so why not see what the last boss has to say?

Cross-Dress for Success!​When news of demon attacks in the Duchy of Mirchetta spreads across the kingdom, Claude finds the prospect of potential rebellion somewhat bothersome, but it’s nothing he can’t handle as the new crown prince. Aileen, however, recognizes these events as the start of the sequel game that could end with her fiancé’s doom! To protect him in secret, she concocts a plan to infiltrate Misha Academy disguised as a boy so she can get to the bottom of things. But she’ll need to move fast or risk Claude discovering her ruse. That’d be as good as game over...!

Otome game PvP??? ​ A brazen attack on the demon king has left him without his memories or his formidable magic. Vulnerable and unaware of the many pitfalls that surround him, Claude has even forgotten his engagement to Aileen, the villainess who reincarnated into the world of her favorite game. With Lilia and other conspirators maneuvering to take advantage of the crown prince’s sudden bout of weakness, Aileen has no choice but to steal Claude’s heart once again and foil anyone who would do her beloved harm!

Everything that could possibly go wrong does when a man claiming to be the first demon king and Claude’s father appears without warning and promptly demands that he divorce Aileen. What’s worse is that Aileen’s alleged father-in-law, Luciel, is the one and only hero/final boss of the fourth installment of her favorite otome game series! The strange thing is that, even though the fourth game takes place several hundred years before the others, oddly similar events have begun occurring, so no one knows what could happen next!

Claude has turned into a dragon, awakening as the demon king, harbinger of untold destruction. The world begins to swing toward what Amelia claims is the correct future where she’s the true heroine. Even though the situation seems hopeless for Aileen and her friends, who have been beaten and battered, she wants to save Claude no matter the odds. Who cares who’s a villainess and who’s a heroine? Aileen loves her husband too much to give up, so the only choice is to turn fate on its head and forge her own destiny!

New route unlocked! Much of the Regalia of Saints, Demons, and Maidens series may have been cleared, but life goes on. Aileen prepares for Valentine’s Day with equal measures of excitement and trepidation, while Claude wrestles with his acute bouts of jealousy, as per usual. Meanwhile, Rachel makes her move in her dizzying game of wits with Isaac as they exchange gifts and guess at the other’s intentions. And when all the heroines, villainesses, and final bosses gather in one place, who knows what sort of mayhem will ensue? Between fond memories and exciting new times, the game of love is never over!

Surprise sequel! Chaos erupts as a mysterious boy who claims to be Claude’s son appears out of nowhere and immediately picks a fight with his father! It seems like the fate of the future is in danger thanks to Aileen’s game-defying deeds, and the future isn’t all too happy about that. After learning from Lilia that there are even more releases in the series, Aileen and her plucky band will have to navigate complicated events she’s never seen before if they want to ensure a happy ending not only for themselves, but for their children’s generation as well!

Villainess Aileen and Final Boss Claude try to keep their followers from finding out about their first clandestine date...only for all hell to break loose right from the start! Meanwhile, Elefas, one of the other final bosses and Aileen’s staunchest adherent, experiences love and anguish, while Walt and Kyle have rendezvous of their own!

I'm the Villainess, So I'm Taming the Final Boss is a female-led light novel that is filled with comedy, romance and fan-favorite isekai (another world) tropes.

The leaders of seven nations come together for the intercontinental conference to decide the new monarch for the Queendom of Hausel—and the candidate is none other than the villainess of the downer game they fought in Kilvas! If she becomes queen, they’ll have a war with Hausel on their hands! Caught off-guard by an underhanded maneuver, Aileen embarks on a merciless diplomatic gambit, and Claude is prepared to protect his wife at any cost.
