Hah.
There's three Otome-Isekai mangas that I've been reading over on Mangadex (an ad-free not-an-aggregator site - Zephyrus from SV is one of the mods there).
The first one is called *takes a deep breath* The Most Heretical Last Boss Queen Who Will Become the Source of Tragedy Will Devote Herself for the Sake of the People. (Just gotta love these titles - you know exactly what's in the tin.)
In this one, within minutes of "regaining her memories", completely derails the storyline of the Otome game by saving her father's life, and swearing to herself that she will be a good older sister to the younger sister (who is the Otome Game protagonist), among other things...
Only a few chapters have been translated thus far, so there isn't much to go off of. But what we do have so far is pretty good stuff, and points towards lots of turning of tragedies into warm and fuzzy feels.
---
The next we have is called *another deep breath* I'm Not a Villainess!! Just Because I Can Control Darkness Doesn't Mean I'm a Bad Person! Again, exactly what it says on the tin.
Here, a girl is reincarnated into the world under the Dark Spirit's protection. This is clearly evident by her chocolate-brown skin, dark eyes, and black hair. (Meanwhile, everyone else is fair skinned and either blonde or red-heads.) Unfortunately, she's about as accepted as you might imagine - even among her own family.
The only thing she has going for her that is making people give her the benefit of a doubt is that one of the people responsible for the founding of the kingdom was someone like her - except that at the very end they went crazy and went on a killing spree until their best friend, the new king, put them down. But, despite her knowing that she's practically doomed (and being suitably depressed over the matter), she sallies forth and makes some very loyal friends... who are, ironically, the protagonist's friends in the otome game.
Plot twist?

Finally, we have a much more generic entry in the form of *yet another deep breath* I Won't Become a Villainess. I'm Just a "Normal" Duke's Daughter!
The person in question here has a bookworm of an older brother who is very much into horticulture, a bedridden mother, and a father who is never home because he's kept so busy at the palace. Knowing her fate, she sets to turning everything right by:
Also, hijinks ensue because apparently guardian spirits seem to really like her for some reason.

Some honorable mentions that are not based in otome-isekai scenarios:
Two Saints Wander Off into a Different World
Chiharu and Maki - two best friends who work at the same company - just got dumped by their boyfriends and spend a night "celebrating" by getting rip-snorting drunk. And then are immediately summoned together to another world. (You can imagine the reaction where they immediately review their evening's drinks right afterwards.)
What they are supposed to do is actually very simple. Just stick around so their very presence clears the miasma from the underworld that plagues the various nations. Thing is, though, this means they are coddled quite a bit.
No way, Jose! These are working women! They're gonna go out, get jobs, make their own money, sample all the delicious food and alcohol they can find, travel the world to do so, and maybe find some boyfriends along the way.
Another great one is Yakuza Reincarnation, in which an old-school Yakuza - the kind that actually support their community by supporting the downtrodden and keeping the dope off their streets - winds up getting killed and reincarnates....
.....As the youngest Princess in an Empire that seems to have all the problems that he is very much familiar with. And thus, he knows exactly how to solve them - by punching the right people into next year.
Read it. It's great, if for nothing else than to see the Princess's retainers all go spare with her sudden shift from "proper little lady" to "tomboy thug with a heart of gold".

Finally, we have a much more generic entry in the form of *yet another deep breath* I Won't Become a Villainess. I'm Just a "Normal" Duke's Daughter!
The person in question here has a bookworm of an older brother who is very much into horticulture, a bedridden mother, and a father who is never home because he's kept so busy at the palace. Knowing her fate, she sets to turning everything right by:
- Socializing her older brother
- Getting her mother to eat her vegetables and exercise
- Upon discovering WHY her father is always so busy, modernizes the bureaucracy of her father's office by introducing the concept of forms as well as filing and sorting.
Also, hijinks ensue because apparently guardian spirits seem to really like her for some reason.
