Synopsis

Hailing from a ducal family, Sylph Biebel has a duty to marry Prince Mikhail Luxborn and someday rule the nation. But Sylph dreams of becoming a librarian, an impossible goal for a lady. Yearning for the freedom her beloved books provide, she often sneaks into the royal library, posing as a commoner.

There, Sylph befriends Kanna Copierne, a fellow bookworm and secretly a noble. When their true identities are revealed, their friendship continues—until Sylph introduces Kanna to Mikhail. Kanna suddenly denounces Sylph as a jealous bully plotting to kill her. For that reason, Sylph is locked in a small cage and abandoned near the neighboring Kingdom of Dagenhelm to be devoured by its king, a man-eating monster.

However, Sylph is saved by Faber, the real king of Dagenhelm and actually a young man with a keen interest in stories. As Faber takes a liking to Sylph, even this girl who was unfairly pushed into the role of a villainess may seize her happily ever after.

Preliminary (28/34 eps)
One of the best mangas I've read in my life. It starts out very cliche, but the cliche itself helps lend itself to the narrative and moral of the story. The main characters are interesting and flawed people. The art is gorgeous, with the background and props giving off a rough and hand-drawn vibe, matching the darker tone of the story. It would be around an 8.5-9/10 for the main story alone, but the antagonist's viewpoint in the extra chapters boost it to a genuine masterpiece.

I highly recommend it if you've read other villainess manga, as this is a fantastic spin on the ...

Top villainess manga, stop. Really interesting both in the art department and the plot, the characters and world design. It greatly explores the actual consecuences that the usual Heroine-Villainess relationship and development would have in both the psyche of the villainess, the heroine and all those around them.

The ML is not exactly a yandere, but he's not merciful either. The iconic relationship between the Hero, the Villain and the Monster are alluded time and time again, each time exposing it from the perspective of a different character, and the protagonist, the antagonist and the monster have a very good number of chapters to discuss things ...

This manga is really interesting. I like how the MC is not like other MCs that changed 180 when they were betrayed or framed. The MC didn't hold any resentment toward the villainess.

And of course, the villainess gets what she deserves. I also like how the art style matches the story. This kind of plot is better with a creepy art style.

If you are sick and tired of the same repetitive storyline about villainess, this ...
