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。**

Translation of the word ごった煮
ごった煮 is pretty much a meal where you simmer or boil a bunch of other
ingridents together. ごった is from ごたごた which can mean things being chaotic, out
of order and so on.

So, here it sounds like ごった煮 is refering to the characteristics of the author
stated in the preceeding sentences like ingridents. It sounds like the author
wants to say they are like ごった煮 or someone who is complex or has a lot of
issues.

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.
