Synopsis

The beginning of Light Magic and the Hero, an otome RPG, unfolds fairly normally: the heroine, Alicia Ehnleit, meets her three love interests one after another and then inevitably comes face-to-face with the villainess. Yumiella Dolkness may be of noble descent, but her dark hair and rare dark-type magic—both associated with the Demon Lord—spark fear in anyone who sees her. When she is five years old, Yumiella regains memories of her previous life in modern Japan, also realizing that her fate is to become the hidden boss that appears after Alicia and her suitors defeat the Demon Lord.

Yumiella refuses to live as the game dictates and, as she prefers the game's fantasy elements over its romance, she decides to cultivate her magical skills and level up in secret. However, everything falls apart on the day of the Royal Academy's entrance ceremony. Yumiella's powers are measured at level 99—something thought impossible even for the royal knights, let alone a 15-year-old girl. With the royal family requesting her help, and everyone else insisting that she prove her strength, Yumiella realizes that her dream of a quiet life is no longer an option.

Villainess Level 99 - The smarts of a villainess, played like an actual Otome Game character who's nonchalant about its routes and goes on her own tune: I don't care (but deeply care), my way IS the correct way. *Pikachu face*

"Reinventing the wheel". This has been a phrase ongoing and about for just about any kind of source work needed to inject a fresh look into genres that with so many potential formulas, has become pretty much copy-and-paste ideas, which give a sour taste at the afterthought. This is pretty much true in all sorts of media, even the AniManga industry, and especially when new ...

"Villainess Level 99" should've been a masterpiece, but it turned out to be good instead.

Honestly, this series was really disappointing, and not in the way that it is overall bad, but it just felt like it had much more potential than what it concluded with...

What I mean is: Characters don't really have very much characterization, and the plot feels a bit skewed.

1. Characters don't really have very much characterization:
The entire plot tries to focus around the next hero's party, which makes sense why they would work towards that because the plot proclaims that the demon king will attack. The problem with this isn't the ...

This show exemplifies a lot of things that have just been annoying me about anime, especially modern anime. First thing that is pretty inconsequential but actually pisses me off is the long and overly specific titles. It is a title, not a premise. Why couldn’t this just be called Villainess Level 99? That’s all we need. It tells us the main character and the premise of them being OP. If we want to know more we could read the synopsis or, I don’t know, watch the fucking show. This next complaint might just be a cultural difference but it is the utter unoriginality in anime. ...
