A Few of my Favorite "Villainess" Light Novels

Finally getting this post finished up for someone's holiday_wishes post!

First, some useful background knowledge for this list: In Japanese Light Novels, there's a specific power fantasy trope where a girl is reborn as the main female villain from a dating sim (or romance novel series or whatever) where she is doomed to die for being a terrible person; in the process of preventing her own death, she ends up making life in general better for just about everyone, and usually with more than a few of the original heroine's intended love interests falling all over themselves to get her to notice them.

Of what I've read of that trope so far, these are some of my favorites:( My top five, in no particular order )
