tbh i have the same sentiments like the premise of the villainess purposely doing villainess things just for the sake of saving her sister was honestly intriguing but the fact that the plot progressed in such a way that it was revealed that EVERYONE knew her plan and was playing into it made me lose interest also the fact that she's actually set up with the og ML of the story is so cliche and forced lolz. I'd much prefer if her plan succeeded (with no one knowing) and she lives happily somewhere else because it was her plan itself that made this manga appeal to me this is just my opinion though lmao
THIS!!! Like the fact that the author made them fall for each other imo kinda ruined the whole thing. If anything i’d have been happy if after the whole thing she just lived with her dad as an apprentice, but the fact that every single person involved knew the whole scheme kind of questioned how good of an actress she was. Coming up with the whole plan is a thing, but she really would’ve sold this entire thing by being the mastermind behind everything. For one person to realize is fine, if it was like just the sister or just the lord of magic guy, but everyone finding out just ruined the idea that Wellmy was not only a genius mastermind but also an excellent actress that managed to fool the crown prince, her own family as well as the lord of magic. It went from being “Wellmy is a genius actress and mastermind” to “Wellmy had the right idea but oops it actually messed up a whole ago”… like idk they could still spare her one way or another since i don’t really want her to die lmfao but like- making that grand reveal just for them to be like “everyone involved knew” kind of took the excitement away from the sly and smarts Wellmy originally had.
Bruh i feel like this manga have a good start but gradually dissapoint me idk
