A Villainess for the Tyrant

Description

"I would rather just go out with a bang!"

For Princess Cecile, being married off to the emperor of a neighboring empire was unavoidable. But wait, isn’t this the same Emperor Estian who's notorious for being a heartless sadist? In order to maintain her final shred of dignity, the fearless Cecile demands that her future husband carry her all the way from the carriage to the wedding chapel! If this is her fate, she might as well put up a fight before dying at the hands of the handsome emperor. After all, the only way to fight fire is with...more fire?! Can Cecile become a villain even more fearsome than her tyrant husband?

Has more interesting factors than most (faeries/spirits, multiple dimensions, 4 female POVs) but can’t say the FL’s personality and the main couple’s relationship dynamic is that engrossing. It was initially, but [FL’s personality and relationship dynamic] started losing its personality later on.

Note: art quickly gets better as story progresses.

——— MAIN CHARACTERS ——— 💎Cecile Franvier Navitan (FL)

exasperated, silly,
daughter of emperor and maid
playing part of seductress villainess: bratty, vain
lover of romance novels
raised by three maids that don’t exist
can hear the Eugendiph voices taunting ML

🗡️ Emperor Estian (ML)

smirk, confident, suave flirt,
rumoured tyrant. Killed family when 16
playing part of smitten tyrant
”I like you so I’ll give a tip to survive. Become a villainess more infamous than me”
”I don’t hear the voices when I’m with you” [to FL]
Result of experiment with Eugendiph blood

🪻 Saintess (FL 2)

kind of lazy, chagrined, comedic character
is writer of novel she reincarnated in
wants to possess FL’s body so she gets to be the main character
enemy turned ally
“this isn’t how I wrote it”
”If I can’t have the ML, I’ll at least have a love interest”

🔷 Irene Levnen (FL 3)

blunt, academically intelligent
daughter of celebrated scholar
ML’s childhood friend. Has one-sided crush

👒 Tania Kaniche (FL 4)

timid, kind, physically strong
daughter of strong, martial artist mother
FL’s lady-in-waiting
fells for a dragon

💎 Richard

opportunistic, stupid, persistent, greedy
2nd male lead in novel. Lord of mage tower
hides in form of child

🛡️Kane

direct, loyal,
was one of the love interests in novel

——— ASPECTS / TROPES ———

Outrageous comedy.
FL takes truth serum on wedding night
the writer of novel reincarnated as saintess (side character)
Non-serious villains
A spirit that never stops talking sealed inside emerald
The Eugendiph: dominating race now extinct. Powerful magic. Their blood coveted. Now inside ML
FL awakens an ancient dragon
A Grand Sorceress and 3 guardian sorceresses
Books with story of past and future that appear and disappear mysteriously
Some really fun side romances for 2 villainesses turned allies
Many versions. Many stories. Many Ceciles. When one fails, the next begins.
A world ‘destined’ to end. FL is the chosen one

CONTENT WARNINGS

Blood, murder, sexual references, unintentional drugging, sex (implied. More so in side stories), annexing territories, death

Not really a villainess story because the girl is a cutie that is just pretending to be one for plot reasons. The first chapters are great hooks, the plot has some very interesting elements, and the characters are very likeable. The only problem that I see is the ending. It makes sense, story wise, but something about it feels like a let down.

On a sidenote. I really liked the clamp and sailor moon inspirations. Also, it's so nice to see the tanned blond bombshell back on comics.

Refreshing take on "isekaied into a novel" trope

by BepsRose

Rating: 8.5 / 10.0

Multiple couples Yay! Each main female character could be a protagonist if the story was written from their perspective.

At the end of the day, it's a comedy, so casual deaths and red flag behaviors are played for comedic purposes. There's also a lot of fluff.

Definitely recommend.

didn't hook me yet to go on 20 chaps

Rating: N/A

my rating is based on the 2nd read. gave it a second chance but I always cannot make it past at least 20 chapters. first few chaps were good then the next scenes were meh. execution and some of the characters didn't really hook me that much (especially the "author" character lol). i'll probably read this again when i feel like it...

Had potential that fizzled immediately

by MorganaReads

This had some interesting concepts going for it: multiple side relationships to root for besides the main couple,

the female lead was literally overflowing with power rather than just the male lead, ! the isekaied character was a side character only who ended up on the main characters side , and it was smuttier. But instead it failed to keep my attention and I skimmed through most.
From the first chapter, I thought the comedy would be on point. However 104 chapters only got a couple of chuckles out of me. The main couple were over the top lovey dovey, the FL tread the line of overly ditsy that it was often hard to take her seriously as a strong character, and the fake "villainess" plan was disregarded just to be reintroduced randomly. The most frustrating were the magical elements that were suddenly introduced to miraculously solve the problem at hand without proper world building to let the reader know what the limits of this fantasy world were in advance. In the end, it was the side characters and their relationships that kept me going rather than the main leads.

It was Truly BEYOND ANY EXPECTATIONS!!!
It was AMAZING, Hilarious, CUTE, and ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!!
Sure i wont call it Perfect, but it was Truly Well Written Story!
I admit i dont know how the novel was like, but in Manhwa version, the story that seems has a LOT of things, being put wonderfully without mess. It was like a Beautiful Mess that MAKE SENSE!!! It WORKS!!! The Story WORKS till the End and it's REALLY GOOD, OKAY!!!
And the Arts is GORGEOUS!!! I didnt even expect some Mature scene that makes me blush but also make this somewhat Perfect?!
Anyway i'm TRULY LOVING IT!!! ABSOLUTELY RECOMMENDED!!!

Webtoon with some orginal things (isekaied writer exist but isnt FL of story) and some disadvantages (pretending to be crazy abadoned too soon, Ryuin). But stil romantic, sweet and with some funny moments. And i like happy end for all couples.

Sometimes it is good and sweet but sometimes the story becomes weird and confusing.

The story for me is 7/10
The character is 9/10
And the art is 10/10!!!
