The "reincarnated as an otome villainess" premise is really common; you probably saw this in Bakarina, or The Most Heretical Last Boss Queen, or going full meta- in Endo and Kobayashi, so goes on.

Even then I think that this story is worth watching. Yumiella is surprisingly relatable; she's simply trying to step off trouble, but by doing so she ends becoming the center of attention.

I really like what they did in the first episode - first showing the story from within the game, only introducing the actual protagonist (the "villainess") in the second half of the episode.

Bakarina, Endo and Kobayashi, and this series are some of my favorites within the genre. I haven't read/watched Heretical Last Boss Queen yet, but if you are lumping it together with the others in this group, then it is probably worth a go.

Last Boss Queen is totally worth a go! It's a lot like a serious version of Bakarina, with an MC motivated by guilt instead of insane troll logic. Be aware however that the animation is a bit lower in quality.
