Name: I became the Villainess’s Brother Raw Link: http://ncode.syosetu.com/n2884dl/ NU Link: http://www.novelupdates.com/series/i-became-the-villainesss-brother/ Status in Country of Origin: ongoing Why It Should Get Picked Up: ainushi translations advertise it on their website about a one-shot kickstarted series and it is up for grabs. They hoped that this series would spark the interest of fans and be picked up in the future. It is only Currently ongoing. Description: Having wandered the borders of life and death because my younger sister lost control of her magic, I remembered that this world was the otome game 「Sparkle like a Jewel」. And I, Langlease Jackberry, am the villainess’ brother. I want to evade the destiny of destruction that I remembered. I’ll watch over my cute younger sister so that she’ll become an ordinary girl instead of a villainess, and at the very least avert her death if ruin so unluckily falls. The BAD END routes for the villainess are split into three general types. 1) Destruction Route As a villainess, my sister brought about the Prince’s displeasure when incidents of her bullying the Heroine came to light. With his impropriety exposed and his peerage revoked, Father was exiled out of the country. 2) Suicide Route My sister, who had truly loved the Prince, shocked that the Prince had announced the cancellation of their engagement at the party, committed suicide. In this route, it is only my sister that dies, and my family and I are not condemned. 3) Jewel Route The END that could be said to be the centerpiece of the game. My sister, having displeased the Prince, was sentenced to be turned to a jewel with magic. She had been turned into a jewel the same color as her eyes. She was shattered to pieces in front of everyone. With pink jewels dancing in the midst, the still of the smiling Prince and Heroine was beautiful. However, it was my sister’s life that was smashed. I will absolutely never permit that kind of future for her. Presently, perhaps owing to her young age, her personality did not resemble in the slightest that of the template domineering, ill-tempered villainess in the game. She was kind and with a deep compassion, to the point where she was loved completely by the servants. Naturally I also thought of her as someone precious. Though I want to avoid the BAD END completely, I’ll work so that I can avoid at the worst the second and third routes where my sister dies and provide a viable lifestyle even after ruin. To continue living with my sister and my family.
Even as I thought the oneshot was very rushed and had some weird developments, I wish the series get picked up. I'm kinda a sucker for these kinds of novels, after all, and in a serialized format the story should be a lot better.
Watching the thread, someone go ahead and translate? I got so much going on, can't even cope with my novels that I already have. Story sounds really nice. I love novels with a slice of life feeling.
I don't think it's complete though. I looked through the raws and the story isn't finished. Looks like it gets updated once a month-ish. So I imagine there will be a new chapter in the near future.
Hi! Sorry about that. Don't know how we missed that. The post on Ainushi has been changed to reflect this.
I've read this before but then immediately lost contact with this since I changed my phone and forgot the title. It will be a shame if they dropped it but even if they did, please someone, pick this up! I have other project in my hand so I can't pick this up and I don't have time to do so.
The story is pretty interesting, I don't mind to pick this up as one of my starter projects. Keep in mind though, I translate through machines, so the translations might have some flaws. Edit: Just finished the first chapter, enjoy.
Great, thanks for picking this up. Just look for an editor if you're not 100% sure of your translations.
