For Villainess manga fans, this will take your fancy!
This manga also known by the name : "What's wrong with being the villainess?"

While it follows the typical storyline for a villainess manga, it's very welll written and will easily grab your attention. I found the protagonists attitude towards her role very relatable and I enjoyed seeing her grow alongside over characters.
The artwork is absolutely beautiful, if you appreciate artwork it's worth the read just for that.

While the chapters avaliable are currently limited, the light novel has plenty of chapters to read, though I'm not certain it has reached it's ending or not yet..

It's a great villainess manhwa. In her past life, the FL was a realistic pushover kind of person who learned everything because she feels like she had to, in order not to dissapoint or just so she can fit in with other people. That explains her wide knowledge. And she's intelligent to remember all those knowledges. Some people might think why is she so great at acting as the villainess when she was so weak in her past life. Well, Deborah just naturally has a resting bitch face. That alone helps her acting. I also have a resting bitch face and always so nervous, but ... my friend of six years have never realized even once when I was nervous.

The romance is adorable and developed naturally, and potentially slowburn. They don't just suddenly love each other, though the FL likes \the ML's face -cause who wouldn't? just look at him-. The plot itself is also taking its time to develop. Which is great because you can see how things could get to a certain point. I continued reading the novel, and honestly, I learned a lot from the novel lol. It's interesting. The FL has another thing going on outside of the novel's plot and OG characters. For some people, it could feel like the story is having a lot of filler because she is not dealing with the original characters every time, but I think that's not the only focus of the story.

Plot overview: This isekai manwha sees a young girl from Korea take over the body of a villainess named Deborah who lives in a reverse-harem world intended for another girl. She realizes just how rich her family is and decides to live Deborah's life as freely as possible while steering clear of drama... but of course, it finds her nonetheless as she steers the plot in a much different direction than the original story.

Overall score: 8/10; A very good plot that allows the transmigrator to feel repercussions of the villainess's past choices -- while not entirely letting go of her body's past and villainess-like perks. ... For one, Deborah has a mean case of b*tch-face, which gives her a solid advantage in intimidation. But she still is noticeably more mellow than she used to be, which allows her to stand up for herself and make genuine connections with others, unlike the prior Deborah. There's a strong theme in this story toward Deborah overcoming her previous life's doormat tendencies, which makes for an interesting dichotomy to her new body's ability to get what she wants instead of constantly doing things for others. I also personally think Deborah is hilarious in her deadpan reactions to many things around her (once again, she's more mellow than the villainess prior), and she has a ton of comedic moments with the male lead. Besides a couple of personal qualms with the plot and characterization, I am looking forward to seeing how Deborah takes over this world with her knockoff Starbucks franchising.

TLDR (slight spoilers); another transmigration story, but this time she's got an Engineering degree, a knack for tax evasion, and a love interest whose double life makes me laugh because he's trying SO HARD to get her attention fixated on his real persona and she instead flirts more outright with his hidden persona. Girl it's the same man!!
