Cross-Dressing Villainess Cecilia Sylvie, (Light Novel), Vol. 2

This is honestly so dumb, but the best kind of dumb.

As one could expect from a main character who believes cross-dressing could save her from impending doom, Cecilia continues to be wild and unpredictable in the second volume. Which, unfortunately for Gilbert and Oscar, leads to a lot of problems caused by raging teenage hormones. There's a smaller focus on character introductions compared to the previous book, since Cecilia is now familiar with most people who have made appearance so far. Only two of the otome game's love interests remain unknown for now, and Cecilia doesn't seem interested in them either so we learn nothing about them except for their names.

This book focuses on a new love interest, Mordred, and the potential disaster waiting to happen in his otome game route. Cecilia spends the majority of the book getting to know him and his comatose sister in the hope of avoiding the Holy Maiden role, only to find out that the truth isn't even close to what she expected. She does, however, gain a new transmigrated friend who's basically just a different species of Lean. If Lean is into writing BL, this one is really into voice actors... thus adding to the many categories of otome game fandom.

Compared to the previous volume, this one also gives Gilbert a little bit more spotlight than Oscar. It may also give him a little bit of hope. Just a little bit. Because Cecilia is Cecilia. Lean is hinting that Cecilia, in her previous life, does have a favorite character in the game, but since she's... like that... I honestly can't predict where they're going with this LOL.

Looking forward to the next one!
