This one seems interesting. It's a Spacebattles exclusive, so be aware of SB conventions.
If I had to be isekaid to a JRPG with harem, can't I be the harem protag instead of a harem member?
The story begins with a random otaku MC dying and being reincarnated into the world of the JRPG series Trails of Cold Steel as a girl named Jessica Schleiden. The catch: The MC has never heard of ToCS and doesn't know anything about it. All the god that reincarnated her told her was that the games have harem elements (i.e. many girls interested, protagonist eventually picks the designated favorite one of them).
So, being aware of plot armor, and her lack thereof (and the fact that her new appearance made it likely that she would be a designated harem member) Jessica sets out to do her best to avoid the main story altogether.
What she didn't realize was that a)the original Jessica Schleiden was an NPC, not a harem member, and her efforts to avoid the plot have only drawn her into it where she wouldn't have been otherwise, and b)she misidentified the main protagonist, so while she's trying to redirect the affections of the man she thinks is the protagonist away from her, she's only getting closer with the real one.
It's being written from the perspective of someone who knows nothing about Trails of Cold Steel, so it's fairly accessible to people who haven't played the games.
