Thorn for the Villain~ Reincarnated as an Extra in an Otome Game?!

Thorn for the Villain~ Reincarnated as an Extra in an Otome Game?! is an adult-oriented otome game. Expect stunning visuals and a story that keeps pulling you forward, as you uncover a truly different kind of adventure.

You play as a girl who is suddenly sent to another world—after a truck brings her there—only to be reborn as a rich, influential noblewoman. The twist? In a lesser-known otome title, you were originally just a minor character with no character art. Now, as the plot unfolds, you’ll meet a wide cast of people, build relationships, create unexpected connections, and unlock exciting intimate scenes.

Key Characters

• Teresa Von Ambrose: Reborn into wealth and status, Teresa carries the reputation of being “the thorn among flowers.” Even with her position, she’s known for lacking the proper noble poise.
• Eric Von Ambrose: Teresa’s brother. He works as an overburdened secretary, and is often described as cold and emotionless.



• Count Von Ambrose: The father of two children. His plans include arranging a relationship between Teresa and Count Vicenzo.
• Count Vicenzo Brillhart: A nobleman from a respectable background. His true intentions toward the Von Ambrose family remain unclear.
• Edel: Count Vicenzo’s butler. Despite the role, he’s known for not having proper manners.
• Estella Rolfes: Teresa’s friend, famous for making choices that damage her own status—often alongside Teresa.
• Crown Prince Devon Asmodia: A prince with confidence to spare, and a teasing, flirty attitude.



• Henry Valcourt: A friend of both Estella and Teresa. One of the kingdom’s strongest knights, though his presence comes off notoriously cold and hard to approach.

Developer Notes

One reason progress on the art was so difficult last year was my laptop—it kept disconnecting, freezing, and crashing. By the end of last year (December), I finally got a new laptop, and that helped me move much faster on the art side.

Honestly, it also made working on Pre-Odyssey: Love at First Quack extremely hard. I needed over a month just to redo the artwork and create new CGs because my laptop would crash about every five minutes. That’s also why I couldn’t focus on the art for Thorn for the Villain as much as I wanted at the time.

When I shared screenshots of the background art (BGs) I finished last time, that progress was also thanks to the new laptop. There are still several placeholder BGs in the game, but I’ll handle those later. I originally planned to do BG work later too—however, the backgrounds I had to complete were already necessary and difficult to find placeholder replacements for. Since I filled them in, I was finally able to shift my attention fully to the CGs.

So, here are some CG previews~
