Preliminary (45/? chp)
Villains are destined to die is probably my favourite Villainess reincarnation story. It doesn't fall into the trappings of so many other stories within this cliche and is truly able to stand out in this saturated market.

Story. The story is really interesting. It isn't the first Villainess story to involve death flags, but it's the only one which make the death flags feel like actual threats. The story also never lets you forget that this is part of a game.he only thing about the story that I'm not too fond of is the pacing, sometimes I feel like some scenes drag on for too long such as the festival scene, where it could really cut a lot of scenes. It's the same problem some other webtoon and manga have in which we have to read every single thought the characters is having, when they could just visual show it. I know this was original a novel, but I think that changing the medium should allow for some flexibility of what is shown in the manga/webtoon.

Art. The art is good and consistent through out. I know some people don't like that the art isn't the same as the novel's cover art, but. I personally have no bias towards either art style. Both are really pretty.

Character. I really love the characters. They all feel fully realised with very different personalities, and don't change easily like real people do. At least not most people. The Duke and the Maid are the two characters I don't really like. The Duke changes his attitude almost immediately and that just doesn't make sense and also is quite unsatisfying. The Maid also does a 180 being completely devoted and loyal to the female lead, which just doesn't make sense. And because these characters are important and show up a lot, I feel like it lowers it's rating a little.

Enjoyment. What I really love about this story is that despite having the same scenes as cliche otome games, it always feels fresh. It's never boring nor does it feel like it's making fun of Otome Games. I always enjoy reading the chapters of this webtoon as I never know what to expect.
