Beware the Villainess!

Description

A refreshing, unique villainess who's been dropped in the world of a novel, only to overthrow it all! The reason why? She couldn't just stand by and watch the female lead be manipulated by all four shitty male leads. The story of a pragmatic villainess who intends to throw out all the jackasses, the friendly heroine who is equally miffed at said idiots, and a wolf that only yearns for her!

Loving it so far

by camilleon

Rating: 10.0 / 10.0

There are currently only a handful of chapters, but I can't wait for more. Even though I have read dozens of stories in this genre, this one truly stands out. The main character truly owns her villainous character and doesn't shy away from being mean or rude, just to avoid a death flag. She truly runs her own show and messes with everyone very enjoyably. She doesn't try to be nice to the male leads and doesn't try to win their favor. It's quite refreshing. It reminds me of Miss Not-So Sidekick, but on steroids.

Has a Special Place in my Heart

**Rating:**10 (Masterpiece)
Time of Review: Chapter 92 (Tapas)

I shouldn't have to do a lot of talking for this review, as I'm sure what I have to say has been covered many times over. Let the ratings and the reviews speak for themselves: this webcomic is fantastic, hilarious, and wonderful. You can't get much better than this for a story that not only subverts the tropes of its genre, but also has rich characters and beautiful art.

You Might Also Like: While the protagonists are fairly different, both series have very similar tastes with their jokes and funny expressions, try Wake Up, Warrior.
I was reading this concurrently with a few other stories, like Villainess in Love, Why She Had to Go to the Duke, and For Better or for Worse, and they are all very similar and well written.

Whoever is the author and the artist, thank you very much. I love you.

BEST VILLAINESS HANDS DOWN. Who needs a male lead when you can have the best villainess that can fulfill both?

Really light hearted

Rating: 8.0 / 10.0

Incredibly funny with the gag scenes and ugly faces they make haha. Similar to the other commenters below me, I totally didn't expect the plot to turn out that way. Who knew the villainess would befriend the heroine? And the heroine would despise all the sh*tty MLs haha. I think what really gets me is that the author made it clear that these classic ML roles are so cliche and over used. She's clearly making fun of them. FL is waaaay too funny with her no f given attitude - I love it!

Decent, worth reading

by Kichido

Rating: 6.0 / 10.0

Well the middle was better than decent, but in the first 20 or so chapters everything felt like it took 5 times longer than it should (explaining things, finding solutions, etc.).

And the end, well it came too soon, and the big baddie for all he had to say (and considering what he was) sure disappeared fast.

Also who gets married without showing any kind of intimacy first ? I was disappointed in that.

And then there's the side stories, which are a 3rd of the entire thing and contain everything the main story was missing, like side character development and the actual romance part because the main story had none, it would be more accurate to call it an Action-Fantasy rather than Romance-Fantasy.

Normally all this would be in the main story and some might say it would've slowed down the pacing, but again, pacing is more of an issue in action stories than romance.

As for the side stories themselves, at least 3-4 of the 7 were probably not worth reading for various reasons like showing more negative than positive things.

Let's focus more on the positives, by far the thing that stood out most in this manga was the sound track... lol, just kidding, it was of course the artwork, simply excellent, traditional B&W manga art will forever be 2nd place from now on.
The gender role reversal aspects were also kinda nice.

Entertainment at its best

Rating: 9.0 / 10.0

I started reading without getting my hopes up just like most works that have ''villainess'' in the title, but, damn, i was plesantly surprised with the whole new take on the genre and the mockery towards the male leads. it is quite refreshing and im writing this while starting to read it for the 2nd time . Try it.
Edit: it starts slow a bit but after like 15 chapters, the true nature of this manhwa comes up.

I agree with the mc, one should just throw the plot away so as to enjoy being reincarnated as a noble's daughter (jobless rich person). And you don't just tolerate the infidelity of the fiance (crown prince), you call him trash and

ask for annulment of your engagement, cuz a Duke's daughter shouldn't be that affected by this (you have the status and wealth), she should still be able to find a decent man, if not a noble then perhaps a rich merchant.

UPDATE: Skip Ch.05 to Ch.20 - which is when things get interesting and you (maybe, maybe not? probably?) won't suffer the tight, congested feeling I put up with while hoping I can finally see whatever other reviewers are raving about.

ORIGINAL review: No, seriously. WHAT manhwa is everyone reading to give this frustrating pile of confusion such glowing reviews? I'm 12 chapters in right now and I know from a decade of experience of reading webtoons that things just do not pick up until chapter 40, at the latest. I just don't know if I can keep going.

So! If the Crown Prince fiance-prick-of-the-year is cheating then...go find a man of your own to do the same? UPDATE: Ch. 23 -

she did but she somehow thinks it's her own fault she still "failed" at the ball? She got what she wanted though. Humiliate the Crown Prince. Who. Cares. About the rest of said Crown Prince finding/falling in love with the OG heroine. You accomplished your original goal...how does that NOT satisfy you?

Or, I dunno just walk away? Live your life? IGNORE HIS SUMMONS? Like, why stand there long enough for the Other Woman™ to make things even worse for you?!?!😕??

The room thing with your own brother plastering your prick-fiance's face all over it...to do what? (I don't understand this plot point) Anyway, you're a literal noble. Living in a MANSION equivalent to an actual palace. GIRL. FIND ANOTHER ROOM, B**ch. Decorate it exactly as you did your old one. HOW HARD IS THAT TO DO? Why give in to their stupidity?

I thought this FML was supposed to be "refreshing" and "proactive" and "strong"? WHERE? Where is this mythological unicorn of female independence in this (so far) unsatisfying mess? She's just reacting to sh*t around her. UPDATE: Ch. 23

has her find a magical sword that allows her to become "badass"? Uh, where was this sword and the accompanying IDGAF attitude in the past 22 chapters?

And her pointless revenge fantasies about murdering the crown prince doesn't pay off emotionally for me. I 100% doubt she'll go through with it. If she did she'd be so much more entertaining and actually, truthfully, refreshingly badass.

I'm going to keep reading until Ch.40 and if things don't improve. I'm done. So far it's 1 star and that's only because I can't give it a 0.

UPDATE: Ch.25 - Yona best girl. Upgrade to 1.5 simply on her charms alone.

UPDATE: Ch.27 - Yuri might be elevating this just by existing. Thank you, Lady Yuri.

UPDATE: Final one after finishing this entire thing; I stand by this review. 🙄😒 Yona still definitely best girl though. Still only 1.5 stars. The extras aren't worth it to me even if one of them was Yona's backstory. This manhwa isn't memorable or satisfying enough to read through all of that.

i love this so much!!

Melissa, our reincarnated villainess, gets sent into a predictable novel she read. there she ends up meeting all the characters she liked and... the quiet loner who's tall, dark mysterious and handsome?.. is actually a stalker who's got 0 manners and belittles his family. the intellectual self-made rich boy who's over protective and displays his love with extravagant gifts? yeah, he wont leave her alone and he wants to kidnap her, lock her up and keep her all to himself. the crown prince who's troubled, and a play boy who changes his way for the fl? he's selfish, cant communicate, a big baby and leaves a trail of broken hearts. The wild and free werewolf, who the fl tames? he has no concern for the safety nor lives of others, is a sore loser who lacks empathy.

so, our "villainess" decides.. screw this, im gonna protect the fl from these crazy bastards. i'm your #1 rival, suck it you deranged creeps. Melissa learns sword fighting to protect herself and the fl, and she's an absolute beast at it. And since there are no good ml's, she finds her own. the one man with commonsense in this story, nine, who she ends up taking on as her butler. (seriously, nine is an absolute sweetheart, he's such a breath of fresh air amongst all the original ml's from the book. i would give him the world)

and i love its take on that, so many shojo-romance manhwa display borderline unhinged behaviours from the ml's, so its nice to see something that not only points it out, but is self aware and makes fun of it alongside it's witty fl. plus the art is amazing, and god how much i simp for Melissa.

The art is fantastic and so many panels are meme-able. While villainess MC is really popular right now, I really love how this is starting out.
