I've read the novel, manga, and even watched the anime all while not knowing that this was the same exact story Σ(  ̄□ ̄||)
When I was watching the anime, thoughts like "Hey that seems familiar" would pop up. BRUH I DIDN'T KNOW THAT I ALREADY ACTUALLY KNOW THE STORY AKJDHBKWJ
I read the novel first. It was a few years back and I've read a lot of other Reincarnation stories back then. I then saw the anime adaptation which is where I was first exposed to their character design (I watched this like, almost a year ago?) And of course, by the time I read this, I knew who they were. It just took me a second to realize that it was the same as the novel I read before.
oh wait, I watched the anime earlier this year and THEN I read this. I also read the novel at Wattpad where I had no clue that it was legitimately published (cause Wattpad is full of stories by its users. I basically read a pirated version of the novel.) Lol, I mean, it sounds like cap so I don't really blame you ╮( ̄△ ̄)╭
I've read a lot of reincarnation stories where the cliché crown prince and reincarnated villainess get together (or some other plot with the reincarnated villainess ends up with another shitty person). I used to love that sort of story where the villainess ends up being a saint or overpowered mary sue. I got tired of that quickly. I was kind of skeptical in reading another reincarnation-villainess type of story, but I got myself to read this and it did NOT disappoint me one bit. I love all the sprinkled memes everywhere, I love how the mfs get called out for their bullshit, and I love how Melissa gets by throughout the story. A story with a good message and damn good humor should definitely be read!
Yea I get what you mean. Like I started reading The Abandoned Empress but I lowkey dropped it after I found out the mc gets back with the shitty prince and I mean yea there's the argument that she's in the past and it hasn't happened blah blah blah, but with all that he did to her in her past life, her ending up with him didn't feel right for me. I'm so glad to have come across this, because Beware of the Villainess has to be one my favourite manhwas. It's everything I want from a villainess story hehe!
Why does the scanlator group every time this gets updated? I mean, yes, I feel thankful that this is getting translated and uploaded here, but then again it gets confusing at times. What happened to all those translators before? Is this a case of sniping?
It looks like it, and if it actually is, the current translator should really apologize to the last scan group since the last scan group might still be working on the chapter that the new translator uploaded.
