Currently one of the stronger contenders among the 'villainous noble' isekai manga.

"Reincarnated as the Lazy and Villainous Noble, I Broke the Scenario and Became the Most Formidable with Extraordinary Magic" is another manga in the current 'villainous noble' isekai trend.

Weiss Vincent is the villainous noble from the school fantasy game: 'Noblesse Oblige', that the protagonist has reincarnated into. He is a cruel, spoiled young noble who loses a fated duel with the game's hero and eventually suffers a terrible fate which the protagonist attempts to avoid.

What makes this manga different from the others is the stronger attention to character personalities and interactions with a comedic ... flair. The characters are all very likeable with purpose within the story. The things they say, the things they do, how they interact with the main character, all of it moves the plot forward.

Despite the manga's release schedule, the plot moves at a good pace. Not once did I feel like a chapter wasted my time nor did I ever feel like it rushed over a scene. The art is also fantastic. No complaints there either.

Like a few other 'villainous noble' mangas, we have just entered the academy where the game's hero also attends and the fated duel where he defeats the villainous noble should've happened has been avoided and we reach uncharted territory (sorta) going forward.

This is a manga to invest your time in and I hope it can keep up its momentum.

8.7/10


With a long ass generic title like this manga, I didn't have high hopes for this manga. It'll be your every other trashy guilty pleasure of the "reincarnated as a second-rate villain" story. Except... This is actually f*cking hilarious. Every single development of this manga was also written nicely, and none of the moments were boring despite there being similar training arcs in 100 other mangas.

This manga is effective due to its comedic elements. The humor of this manga is next level, as it embraces extremes in the plot and characters. Instead of a typical story that relies on plot, forcefully inserting extreme character archetypes ... like yanderes, this manga fully embraces it by capitalizing the extremes, turning them into jokes. As such, all the characters are lovable and unique in their own right.

This also includes the MC because he is absolutely hilarious. His interactions with some of the characters come off like "depreciating" cringeworthy humor, and I love every single moment of it. He gets bullied, but he's dense. He's basically the perfect character in a misunderstanding manga.

Though that is not to say that the plot is an afterthought. Yes, it is cliche because what can you really do with the "reincarnated as a villain" manga that is unique at this point? However, the edge this has over the others is that it is well-paced. It's on the "faster side" of things by including time skips, etc., but it doesn't drag out any plot points, and it gets straight to the point. Also, the manga creates a rather unique plotline solely due to the extremes in its comedic elements.

The art also adds a lot of personality to the story, as I definitely would not have enjoyed this manga as much as I did if it had the same generic art style across a hundred other similar mangas. From the facial expressions to the actual fight scenes, everything was beautifully done to complement the story.

As someone who has read one too many "reincarnated as a villain" tropes for anyone's good, this is definitely a gold-tier find. Even if you don't enjoy the premise (well, first of all, how could you not?!?), It's a hilarious read that doesn't feel jarring at any point.

This particiular Isekai series is a top contender for being one of the better standouts. Sure the story involves the dude getting thrown into the body of a 3rd rate bad guy? The simple story is greatly enhanced with his impressive resolve to avoid the original bad ending and live a decent life. Pacing wise, it's being executed with decent precision. You don't feel like you are missing anything or details, the storyline is direct and leaves a lot to be desired.

Enforce this with top tier art where every page is worth admiring.
I am finding myself reading each chapter twice and sometimes 3 times back ... to back due to the epic factor
