I’m not familiar with Welcome to NHK but I have something that might fit the premise.
Villains Are Destined to Die is a manhwa about a woman being transported into a video game as a villainess who, as the title suggests, is destined to die. Because she’s familiar with the game and REALLY doesn’t want to die she does whatever she can to manipulate the male leads of the game to avoid that outcome. That includes helping a slave whose sole purpose for her is to become her loyal servant/guard.

On the same note (and since we are talking about manhwa) Beware of the Villainess.

I’m a bit torn on this since with Melissa I always felt more like she’s beating some sense into unruly children rather than manipulating them. Still a great series though!

Indeed it is! Still would have loved the Yuri (pun intended) route.
Another one I am having great fun reading is The Tower Master Who Became the Grand Duchess. Pretty hilarious with their reactions.
Let’s not forget the unhinged Geenie from The Golden-Haired Summoner! Too bad the story ended abruptly, but it is insanely good. In a nad sense, but still good. 🤣 You really should read it.
