Translation of the word ごった煮


The specific context of this word is ごった煮です。

This sentence is prefixed by multiple other statements that I have translated
to be about themself, ending in ものです。

I am confused about what exactly this word means in such a context, with the
provided translations in dictionaries i.e jisho not seeming to make much sense
to me.

The exact context is

> 悪役令嬢ものです。ループものです。勘違い恋愛ものです。 **ごった煮です。**




ごった煮 is just "hotchpotch" or "mishmash" as jisho.org says, but you've
misunderstood the first three sentences. This -もの is not 者 ("person"), but a
kind of suffix that attaches to a noun and forms a **genre** name. It can also
refer to works in the genre. もの is also commonly written in katakana and in
kanji (物).

  * SF物  
works of science fiction

  * 日常モノのアニメ  
slice of life anime

  * 悪役令嬢もの  
novel featuring the villainess-as-a-heroine trope (somehow it's
[popular](https://dic.nicovideo.jp/a/%E6%82%AA%E5%BD%B9%E4%BB%A4%E5%AC%A2#h2-3)
these days in Japan)

  * [ループもの](https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%AB%E3%83%BC%E3%83%97%E3%82%82%E3%81%AE)  
[time loop](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_loop) story/genre

  * 勘違い恋愛モノ  
I-am-being-mistakenly-loved-by-someone sort of story/genre (e.g., a commoner
heroine loved by a prince who believes she is a princess)

So the whole passage is:

> 悪役令嬢ものです。ループものです。勘違い恋愛ものです。ごった煮です。
>
> This novel is in the 悪役令嬢 genre. It's (also) in the タイムループ gene and the
> 勘違い恋愛 genre. It's a hotchpotch (belonging to these three genres).

Text like this usually appears in a preface or a review. If it's really said
in a monologue by a heroine herself, think of it as a "breaking the fourth
wall" sort of joke.
