One of the worst Villainess manga I've read, and I've read dozens of them. No spoilers ahead.

The story had some potential at the beginning, but was mostly predictable. That in itself can be overlooked if the chemistry between the Female Lead (FL) and the Male Lead (ML) is good enough, the secondary characters are charismatic enough, or the intrigue is thrilling enough, or preferably all of them at the same time.

That's not the case here. The quality went down really, really fast after the first arc of the story (How she contended with the "original heroine" (Which, by the way, had a nice ... and uncommon twist at the end of it) but it just didn't go up after that, it was a downright spiral to the abyss of forgettable stories.

Seriously, do not read. If you are missing some of your sweet, sweet villainess dose, try "Akuyaku Reijou desu ga, Shiawase ni Natte Misemasu wa!: Anthology Comic", "Mochiron, Isharyou Seikyuu Itashimasu!" or "Jishou Akuyaku Reijou na Konyakusha no Kansatsu Kiroku."

TL;DR: Oof. Do not try for your own good.

Damn, this is one of the most disappointing manga I've read in awhile. Not that I'm expecting anything.

The story is pretty bad. It's basically just fantasy cliches that weren't explained properly and a bunch of bad villainess cliches and tropes that you could think of. There's no tension in the story because you can't relate to the characters and the "hardships" that they are going through. Events happens because it also happened in every other villainess manga, so it's oKaY to use it without explaining how and why it happens.

The characters are bad. Like, pretty f*cking bad. There isn't one memorable character that I can ... remember. Aside from the mary sue main protagonist, the characters here are pretty all just one-dimensional characters. Characters here are mainly used for plot events, which makes them feel like NPCs rather than actual characters with human emotion.

The art is decent. It's not bad, but it's not good either. It doesn't really help that the panelling here is pretty bad, with panels cheesing out as many dialogues as possible in a page. It feels bothersome to read it. And if the story isn't interesting or if it doesn't give out reasons why I should read it, then it's gonna be a pain in the ass to read.

Overall, this is just plain bad. There's no redeeming quality to this rush piece of doodoo water. It's just an insulting story to read.
