Preliminary (8/12 eps)
Maybe this show is not worth my 8 generally speaking, but I wish to give it at least for the pure reason of celebrating the first otome villainess show which I genuinely liked. This one is indeed special and so far unique (correct me if I'm wrong) as finally we get an isekai female protagonist who doesn't make romantic relationships her main goal in life. In fact, it's pretty funny watching her dodging even her supposedly future love interest, let's not even mention her relationships with those generic otome satellite boys.

However cringe it may sound Yumiella is the definition of a strong and independent woman. Perhaps to the extend making this show an isekai parody much alike eminence in shadow,though unfortunately 99 level villainess still has a long way to go to reach its level.

And yeah, the otome game protagonist girl and her boys are stupid and unbearable but i think that's just the satire that we needed. Maybe its the right time to finally realize that female isekai is not necessarily supposed to be about winning out some guy (or a girl)? Maybe some girls also want to be self-sufficient and powerful enough? And yeah, Yumiella doesn't try to maintain good relationship with everyone, and its not because she's stupid and supposed to get you annoyed and angry (as stated in some reviews) but because some people just don't think spending time and resources on people they don't like is reasonable if they have power and possibility not to do so.

Otherwise, I reckon animation and music were ok, on a level expected of such a show I would say. Except for those hideous 3D dragons in the latest episodes of course. I also liked how there were no typical shojo romance male characters designs.

To sum up, this show doesn't possess any exceptional graphics, designs or soundtrack. Even the plot sometimes is quite generic. However, I believe it's quite entertaining and funny to watch, especially when you just need something light to relax. It's unusual and it really adds to shows value. I really hope we'll see a continuation and some similar series in the future.
