Villainess in Love

Description

So I've become Yunifer Magnolia, the villainess who's crazed with jealousy because Duke Ishid Lucrenze, the devastatingly handsome hero, has eyes only for Raelle, Yunifer's best friend. Yunifer torments Raelle so much that Yunifer's killed off at the end.

But...I'M Yunifer now. UGH! Good news is, I've transmigrated before her tragic end, so there's time to make sure Ishid and Raelle have a fairy tale ending (and I stay alive). The bad news is, I got drunk and woke up with Ishid next to me. Crap.

Basic of basic

by BepsRose

Rating: 7.0 / 10.0

Not a lot of excitement in this one, but at least we are spared annoying misunderstandings.

The art style was boring and forgettable.

This is a very typical "FL saves ML from his tragic past" story.

There were hints at a greater plot with the monster nucleus, but that got swept aside as soon as it was no longer a convenient plot device for showing how bad the Emperor was. I was actually interested in what would result from the academic research.

For how much time was spent on the novel's original FL, we don't get any followup on her either.

The best part was the character growth seen in the crown Prince. After making the reader sympathize with him, he too is simply left without mention of how his life will go. Not even a "if I can't have the one I love then I will remain single forever" or something. Just a line would be sufficient.

I have no interest when the happy couple have children in these types of stories, so I didn't particularly enjoy the extras.

Overall, I felt "meh" while reading it and I felt "meh" after it ended.

At least it was a complete story that didn't drag too much.

enjoyed it more after 20 chaps

by Ziggyzag

Rating: 8.5 / 10.0

honestly, i reviewed this upon my 3rd re-reading cause I just can't seem to get past Chapter 10, but i guess the third time is a charm.

FL is mature, humble and has interesting personality, while ML is a puppy-boy with a sad backstory. I guess the plot execution got better after Chapter 20 as it hooked me with the pacing right then. Though this would have been better if I read it in its peak time, but the plot is uncommon with her taking over as the new FL and winning the hearts of the og story's love interest (and the og FL herself). The communication and relationships between the characters are enjoyable enough to keep going. Their intimacy is good as well. No over-the-top comedic expressions, so the light comedy is fun.

i've seen sexually active leads (that are not smut), but this have a lot of impliedly intimate scenes. also, FL is not annoying on being insistent and pushy that ML will go to OG FL (i'm actually surprised the OG FL didn't have a lot of screentime), she accepted and was willing to fight for her love so there was no unnecessary fight between the two ladies.

I also liked how they didn't go heavy on politics (emperor has no brain anyway) and they just pulled out the bad root of the empire, which didn't involve thousand deaths of the innocents.

ART ALSO IMPROVED OVER TIME. I wasn't attracted to the ML during the first chapters, but the side stories were an eye candy. The side stories were commendable too as they featured on themes relating to "going into parenthood".

Season 1: boring start but gets better
Season 2: better plot
Side stories: GREAT

overall, a recommendable story!

Great FL

by Ah_Cat
2 years ago

Rating: 8.0 / 10.0

It was a nice read. It's very rare to see a FL so down to earth and drama-free. And it's the healthiest relationship I have ever seen in a manga. I just wished they made a bit more explanations about the world they live in, cause it's lacking.

And what was this about that she can 'use a little bit of earth magic'!? It was never mentioned that a water mage can use any other magic, where did that come from?
And I also wish the Prince had some nice ending. I feel bad for him, he made some bad decisions as a child/young adult, but he grew up. I wish there was someone for him too. And for Ishid to treat him a bit better, the guy should seriously get a hobby cause he's human only to Yunifer.
Oh and I loved a comment under one of the chapters that it really shows that the mangaka is female, because in this fantasy world contraceptive is taken by the man :D Love the idea.

cute fluffy light romace

by leylines

Rating: 9.0 / 10.0

best part of this is there's no silly misunderstandings dragged out, the couple are together almost right from the start. the story doesn't drag and there's a lot of charm to the both leads, Yunnifer and Ishid. i kinda wished they didn't have kids thou, adopting or fostering feels more suited to their setting. There are a lot that seems to be left out, only the two main leads and maybe the crown prince are fleshed out, the other characters are very rushed through. maube there's more in the novel for those who want to dwelve deeper.

her name is YUNIFER

by gloriousmangalover

Rating: 8.0 / 10.0

🌚 ignore my previous review, im going to redo it. i just finished all the chapters in one sitting. i’m going to split this in two:

critiques:

plot wise, there was a lot of build up with little pay off. for instance while i really liked the magic as a concept in here, it’s not further expanded upon even once they make new discoveries. and if there is a hint of romance between heroine (raelle) and the fl (yunifer whose name is still ridiculous), none of that is resolved. was this axed 😕
even side characters like raelle’s friend michael and the child laborer have no storyline or ending other than to be plot armor/bluffs for the main characters.
the drama felt stale at points in time. since it’s mostly a deep dive into their relationship, it’s fluff with some plot on the side but none of the interesting twists im into. could’ve used some angst to balance it out tbh
the writing honestly was pretty choppy, like the author was making it up as she went along which is probably true because this is adapted from a web novel. events felt uncoordinated and random, especially since they weren’t written well or as if they were in any particular sequence (chapter would begin at random points). regardless, the narration was wonky and i’d get lost
i’ll elaborate more on this later but bro fl-ml relationship begins when he takes advantage of her while she’s drunk and it’s later revealed he had a crush on her when she was presumably 13/14 and he was 17/18 😐. this is not discussed whatsoever and honestly excused because the korean yunifer was much older.
speaking of, i wish this discussed more about the isekai portion. few ois do this; beware the villainess had this same problem where the heroine transmigrates but there is no discussion about what happened to the og!yunifer which is terribly sad when you consider the father keeps trying to say sorry to her.
really could’ve used real smut

loves:

healthiest relationship depiction i’ve ever seen in an oi. yes it starts off really wonky. but wow they actually communicate and listen to each other and help and uplift and support each other it makes me swoon. truly unforgettable i haven’t seen a manhwa so absent and not rife of any pointless misunderstandings in forever.
literally a star of its kind. the focus is on the characters and relationships; both ishid and the prince (not a secondary ml, there is no love triangle) have such nuanced beliefs and thoughts and opinions. you don’t see that kind of development being put into characters these days, it’s revolutionary frankly.
ishid was such a swoon worthy character he was so in love with yunifer i loved it. he was so cute, puppy, crying kind of type and yunifer was very mature and reasonable. sometimes i liked her more cold tbh.
art was refreshingly different. simplistic but not the pasty bright tacky colors and dresses and flowers, just different.
translation was actually really good and poetic and kept what i imagined the novels feel was like

overall: 8/10 i quite liked it (ignore the imbalance). very entertaining, sweet and cute, and contains my favorite toe curling trope (ml madly in love with fl). well done and so different, true josei of its genre

Cool lore with a FL that understands what a healthy relationship is!

by Justiiine
3 years ago

Rating: 7.0 / 10.0

Despite the title, the FL is more of the typical isekai girl trying to survive than a villainess.
I really liked the lore with elemental mages, and the whole academy thing kind of felt like a college romance in a fantasy setting.
It is SO nice to have a Fl with her feet to the ground, teaching other characters healthier behavior!
The main couple was cute, the fact that they are sexually active makes for a more realistic relationship even if some of these scenes were confusing (nothing explicit so some panel are like what even is this body part supposed to be).

What really spoiled this webtoon for me is the pace. The progression between scenes and story arcs felt rushed or choppy. Sometimes I even wondered if I was missing panels or chapters but I don't think so. It also kind of felt like the author changed their mind on the overall story twice along the way.
The beginning is more of the typical isekai "how to keep the original story without dying". Then there is the whole monster hunt and "mystery" around the magic stones, which was cool but came and went out of nowhere. The end is about the main couple turning into villains, out of nowhere again, before an abrupt happy ending.

The side characters were nice but under explored. The secondary couple was supposed to be central the way they were introduced and yet one just disappeared from the last few chapters while the other is scarcely seen throughout the story and has his backstory and ending dropped in the end and covered in like 2 chapters.

I appreciate the fact that Raelle and Cassian did not get back together but it's sad that Raelle never knows why Cassian acted like that. It would have made more sense to have Cassian and Ishid's childhood and relationship brought up gradually throughout the story than dropped at the end like that.
Same for the emperor's obsession with weakness and mortality.
Also, why imply that there was something about the count not being Yunifer's biological father without even having a scene with them clearing things about that? Unless I missed that in which case please someone sends me a DM

Also there is never really a proper explanation on how the FL arrived in the world.

There is this scene where Yunifer was sick and crying for her family when in first year at the academy, sounds like when she just arrived in the world but that was never really explained.
And regarding her father, she could have made up some memory loss excuse or something.

Overall lots of potential, nice characters, interesting setting but despite the 87 chapters it felt too short and would have probably deserved more chapters for a smoother progression and a better wrap-up. I'm curious how much comes from it being adapted from a novel and how much were flaws actually kept from the novel.

A fun isekai

It's kinda cliché in its concept, but the main pair is still fun. The action is kinda meh. The plot is fine but I quite like how cunning Yunifer can act, it's great when it happens.

Best Isekai Manhwa

by SleepyFire
3 years ago

Rating: N/A

This manhwa leaves me craving for more. The art, plot, and character development is top knotch for a “smut” isekai manhwa. Im honestly confused why the ratings aren’t higher. To be honest I almost skipped out on reading this because the cover art is so dull. Im so glad I picked it up. I was getting so tired of the recycled isekai romance tropes, so this manhwa was a complete breath of fresh air. Also, HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS?! COMMUNICATION?! We love to see it! If you’re tired of toxic ML look no further! If you’re tired of damsel in distress MC look no further! If you want something darker, and more mature this manhwa is the one for you! (Btw if anyone knows of an isekai manhwa that can compare to this masterpiece please dm me!)

review for posterity

by onionguy

Rating: N/A

I'm not gonna lie, it's pretty hard for me to remember the names/titles of a lot of otoisekai due to the sheer number of titles popping out each month. So for anyone with similar struggles, I will provide a brief synopsis:

It's the one where her hands are cold because

she's a waterbender and his are hot because he's a firebender and there are a surprising amount of scenes where characters actually discuss umbrellas? ! Also they fight squid. and there's a little gay girl with gray hair who lowkey wants the FL to be her mommy gf. at one point there's some sexual tension with gray hair girl over an umbrella.
