I Want to Pursue the Mean Side Character! is my very first visual novel! I hope you enjoy it!

-----

Beatrix is used to being misunderstood by her fellow peers.
With her sharp eyes, tall height, and ringlets, she looks like the mean villain straight from a novel.

Thus, she decided that if she was forever going to be seen as the mean bully, she might as well reside herself to the role.

However, things change when she becomes fast friends with the new commoner transfer student, to everyone’s surprise including her own.

And more weirdly, how this new transfer student can seem to understand her better than anyone else and can see her for her true self rather than the part she had been reluctantly forced to play!


Beatrix Clermont, our easily misunderstood narrator. Has only one friend. Current concern is her height. 



Lily Abbot, Beatrix's best and only friend. Says weird things sometimes like "tsundere" and "moe." Current concern is how to stop running into males randomly.

this was short but good end im satiesfied

This game reminds me a lot of an anime called "I'm in love with the villainess" and look, I haven't even played it yet haha, this anime is very good if you like GL

that was my first thought too!!

reeeally cute.. i think its nice that miss clermont has a larger body type. theyre both so adorable. fun little vn!

Excellent!!! n3n

IS THE REFERENCE IM IN LOVE WITH THE VILLAINNESS??? I LOVE THAT ANIME HAHAHAHHA

You should read "Miss not-so sidekick" it's so fun and the girl is a side character 

I loved the game sm! I really like the artsyle and the story, it would be nice if it was an interactive story game. Would love to see more games like this !!

That title is literally Jojolion

i loveeee the game. it is so cutee the art and history

definitely reminds me of the anime/manga of "I'm in love with the villainess" (even the sprites), but even though i just started, it is a very good game so far! :)

While the story, characters, and just the game in general are super cute, it didn't meet my expectations. I was expecting an interactive experience with decision-making capabilities that would allow me to influence the storyline, but that's probably just me. One thing I just don't understand is the option to skip AFTER choices when there are none.

great history! but if you're searching for more interactive gameplay this one is more of a tale

Being a long time Yuri fan I'm really happy that they got together pretty quickly and didn't just keep hiding their feelings for unnecessary long time ❤️ ❤️ although I do wish it had longer gameplay and more stories until like they both end up ruling the kingdom or something but other than I reaaally enjoyed the game 10/10 100/100 1000/1000 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Awesome game! They're very cute together Happy Pride Month!

 I love you you're perfect live a long life marry a beautiful gorgeous person that cares and loves you deeply win on the lottery get fucking rich and die peacefully after living a very fullfiling life

Lilly lied to me, it ended.

it kinda reminds me of "im in love with the vilaness!" 

It was fun to play! thank you

I am not finished playing yet but so far it's pretty adorable.

One compliant: Some of the words get cut off during dialogue. Like if some of words have the letters p or y,they will get cut off and only appear when the second(or bottom words) sentences finishes EDIT:

just finished,I loved it!!

A short, super cute visual novel perfect for anyone who has a bit of time to spare and a penchant for lesbian takes on "otome/villainess" media

review:
i dont think i need to point out whats obvious, story: great, characters: great, art: also great, romance: thats the reason i even played this to begin with. in short, i need more of this. i seriously do. (more of their wholesome love life i mean.)

ummm my prayers have been answered?? it seems like tons of otome games have this mean side girl  who is supposed to be your rival but just comes off as a cute tsundere. Thanks for a cool game)

aaaaa me gustó mucho<3

it's sooooo cute.

i didnt play it yet, but is this inspired by wataoshi?

I was thinking the same thing! the mc's are very similar. No problem with that though

so freaking cute!!! i love it oughh. lily and beatrix are so precious! the ending 🥺❤


i LOVE lily's little side comments pfft. looks like someone got isekai'd...TRUCK-KUN STRIKES AGAIN

and fr lily, i dont see the appeal of sadistic dominating personalities :/

this is amazing i enjoyed it so much

i played for like 15 minutes but as expected, this is giving very strong vibes of "I'm In Love With The Villainess" but as a visual novel. Not that it's bad or anything though, just that it was the idea I had of it even before playing, and now that I kind of got into it, I simply confirmed it. very cute game though, I like it. 

EU AMEI O JOGO,adorei a história da Beatrix e achei muito engraçado a história da Lily,fiquei muito triste do jogo ser tão curto,gostaria que tivesse mais coisas,tava esperando pelo menos um beijinho kkkkk,Emfim,adorei o jogo,parabéns para quem teve a ideia,quem fez o conceito de arte pelo todo o resto,ficou tudo muito fofinho,obrigada por criat um jogo visual de romance lésbico (que seja normal),eu tava tentando procurar umem todo lugar.

I never liked visual novels but damn I really enjoyed this one. I wish it was a little longer tho

there is a web novel/manga which has this premise exactly

this game was too cute omg

Will there be a steam version?

UGH ITS SO CUTE i cried at the end

💕💕💕

Played this a year ago and replayed again recently, I still love it. I would love if it were longer or had a sequel, the characters are just too precious and entertaining.

超级可爱的游戏我喜欢贝娅特丽克丝和莉莉

Was some of this inspired of 'My Next Life As A Villainess' ? The part at the start where Beatrix says 'She managed to win the hearts of 7 guys, including a grand knights son, the prime ministers son and the illegitimate son of a duke' the parts in bold sound like references to nicol and keith (ew) also idk why some of the text has strikethrough on it commenting on here is really annoying cause its so buggy

I remember playing this 2 years ago. Uwa its so cute

10/10 please invite me to their wedding, I love them so much ❤️❤️❤️

This really remind me of the manga  "I favor the villainess" , The storys are really similar in a way  but any way really good game I Personally, really like it!

And just saying truck-kun did it again!

LOL i was going to ask if it was based of of that manga! I really like it ^_^

i was thinking the exact same

i love it!! it was fun to play though i never thought it would end like this. it melted my heart <3

Short but very good, love how Lily put the Prince in his place and the scene of Lily carrying  Beatrix

GRKJEHRWJPEOTIRWH2EJ THIS GAME FILLED MY STOMACH WITH BUTTERFLIES IM CRYING ITS SO CUTE
