just_m3h's manga / #Villainess(44)

Another woke up as a "villainess" in a popular piece of media story. This fl is by far more palatable than Katarina and her ilk, though. In any case, I tire of the childhood chapters that seem to drag on forever. Hope they grow up soon. Edit: ~Ahhh. Stopping just when they grew up is so cruel!!! Ch 54

Interesting plot, so far. MC's great Ch 82

When Juvelia who was (allegedly) left to languish for a crime she never comitted chooses suicide as the only option left to her, she has no idea how wrong she was about everyone around her. Will being given a second chance show her how much she was loved and protected by her people? As far as "villainess" stories go, this one's very, very good. I love Juvel, she's smart, resourceful and strong, even though she didn't go through any of the major image rehabilitation montages other female leads in similar stories do. Her ex is a legit psychopath, though. Wow. I cannot wait for him and the cowardly emperor to get taken down, for good, even. And also for all the various misunderstandings between Juvel, her dad and the crown prince to get sorted out. Seriously! There are too many!! Edit: It's good that some secrets have been revealed, but there is still so much to sort out. I am s anxious!! Edit: Most personal misunderstandings now cleared. Just waiting for the broader mysteries around Goddess Circe, Fafnil (Fenrir?) and the history of the Floyens, now. And of course, the rebellion. Ch 112

The plot wasn't amazing to begin with, and the characters were wishy-washy too. From Rezef, who seemed not to know his own mind, to Raphaello who had too sudden a change of heart over the princess, they're all just unlikable. Plus, many of the side characters were also unpalatable, honestly. Maybe the 2 ladies in waiting are tolerable. The suddent introduction of magic and the disconnected story telling really bothered me, too. It felt like grasping at straws, really. Plus, some of the translations were difficult to read and the Nanny being killed off was also kinda bullshit. The suprise step sibling angle was also just, tired. I need to come back to this one. 3.45 Ch 72

This one's honestly riddled with so many annoying side characters. The MC is so depressed and in so much despair, it's difficult to slog through. All the options given to her suck and it's so unfair that she had to go through this bullshit and I'm just fucking tired. I just want her to be okay, dammit. Edit: Things coming to a head, now. The next season will definitely be the last. I'm so anxious. Ch 76

The plot's very interesting, the MC is fun to read about too. The harem situation, less so. Edit: Turns out, the plot is much darker and more convoluted than depicted in the first 40 or so chapters. Can't wait to see what's really going on. The psychotic ex crown prince and his mum are less scary than the psychotic og FL and the magician, though. The king's pretty messed up too, wtf. Also, what's with these visions?? They don't really seem to be from the og plot. What *was* Raylene trying to achieve, I'm SO curious. Really wonder how this will go. Also, please don't make Harvey a love, interest, come on. That's just gross. Ch 63

1: Super cringe 2: Damn good. Though I don't think the exhile order will hold, as the "villainess" inferred. 4.8 3: This is just. Ugh. SO cute. Sadist prince, indeed. 4.8 4: Unexpected! And a little funny, too! Im glad there was no big transformation, it wouldn't have suited the story. 4.5 5: Not bad, but justice was not served. 4 6: ML really went about that the wrong way... 4.2 7: Valid points were made. The ending, though, they're so mature, unbothered by petty squabbles. 4.65 8: It was going so well, but the end was so dramatic and ridiculous, the rating took a nose-dive. 3.99 9: Ha! I knew it! Good job, little sis. Would rate this higher, but once again, the repurcussions are just ridiculous to the extreme. Prince gets sent to train as a butler? In what fucking world, come on! Make these believable, please! 3.99 10: Dull. Forgettable. Dislikable MC. 3.4 11: Would have been good, but without the climax, it falls flat. 3.8 12: Literally, just one conversation that mostly happened in FL's head. But still. Both leads were good people and overall, the story was fine, just nothing amazing. 4.4 13: Okay, actually surprised! So they were both reborn. If only the story telling had been better! 4.2 14: Not too shabby. Would have liked to have seen their jealous faces, though. 4 15: Continuation of Ch 4. It's very gross that the son had those thoughts, tbh. 16: The one with the dragon. Okay, this one's just so ridiculous, I couldn't see that coming, even after reading all these, I have to give it 4.7 17: Not a love story, per say, but the FL is wonderful and smart and even the ML seems like a nice guy. 4.3 18: He doesn't deserve her at all! 3.99 19: Bruh. So extreme! 3.9 20: Weird. So weird. 3.99 21: Average and boring. 4 22: Just makes no sense. 3.5 23: The childhood friend could just have spoken to the Prince, instead of doing all this. He was, even if a little bit, banking on them breaking up, as his thoughts implied. His heart was somewhat in the right place, though. And the Prince could just have asked her, even though he did it out of love. Communication is key, you guys. Good intentions are never enough. 4.5 24: Women supporting women, ftw T.T 4.75 25: Just die once? They think it's somehow okay to do that? WTF?? 3.99 26: The FL's smart but the King's kinda not worthy of holding his title if he falls for that. All that talk of waging war leaves a sour taste. 4 27: Continuation of Ch 4, again. This was a great continuation, unlike the last one. Ugh. 28: Interesting. Might have been a good story as a long plot. As it is, it's just okay. 4.4 29: I begrudgingly have to give it up for ML. Sadist, he may be. But oblivious and foolish, he is not. 4.7 30: It's good and I'm happy for them, but the climax is kinda too rushed for me to rate this high. Should have given it a couple more pages. It's not even clear what's what, right now. 4 31: She's right, it *is* a funny story. But, well, not bad. Definitely different. 4.2 32: The FL's so, so, so, um. Challenged. Which was kind of the point. But the story itself and the entire plot is. Er. The same, also. 3.8 33: Continuation of Ch 4, yet again. I don't like what people are insinuating, it's disgusting slander. FL is strong though, so strong. 34: Ahahaha! This SO silly! The shipper is being shipped!! Ah, but the poor prince! She's so oblivious!! 4.2 35: I think everyone's allowed to be the tiny amount of selfish you were, Lilly. You deserve this happiness. It's okay, just be happy. 4.55 36: Accidental repeat. 37: Accidental repeat. 38: Accidental repeat. 39: Accidental repeat.

It's dark but good. I might attempt this again when I feel like reading something dark. Ch 12

Interesting. And I love the FL. Ariel's so resourceful and so sweet, too. But I really must say, the way she was treated by people in general and especially her father, as well as how the fifth prince is treated by his family, it really sours the story, in a major way. Hope both of them can overcome that and live their best lives. I really hope they don't leave the prince hanging and find him someone who will love him well. If he's just going to be a pitiful second lead after all that crap, that's just too sad. Anyway, the original FL from the novel seems SOOOO sus. Uber sus. The plot thickens!!! Ch 63

A story that I can't stop reading. Heartbreaking isekai about abuse, depression and suicide. But also about hope and love. Since the last update is about her barely surviving her second suicide attempt (the first one landed her in the alternate dimension), the wait for the update where she opens her eyes is killing me. Edit: She's woken up, and most of the way out of the woods. And! And she's giving the magician so muchbhope that I just want to believe T.T Please! Let it be Aiden! They're so perfect together Ch 62
