@Walter_vi_Britannia I'm talking about both. There's a raw WN version which I'm reading by machine-translate, and there's an LN version which is being officially translated by J-Novel Club.

Looks like she's weak against people's expectations of her. One maid's hopefully look was enough to destroy that plan of avoiding her arch enemies, huh?

 

[Amarrez]

@Meo
Well, to be fair, Anne is super special to her.

This is how you do a "redemption" story of a villainess. You don't turn them into a nadeshiko, an airhead, a reincarnator, or an abrupt change of personality, or something boring like love. You use character growth.

You see, this chapter right here shows character growth. Why? She finally has someone important to her. And instead of being selfish, she decides that Anne was more important than herself.

You see? Its subtle, yet overtly obvious. She is growing as a character. She isn't switching personalities. She is literally growing step by step, into a less selfish person. I mean she is still selfish, but this is just a first step. And people grow slowly over time, they don't suddenly just change.

Man, after reading so many villainess stories, you get so hyped up when someone does it right. They don't change quickly, they are slow to grow, and they still retain their core essence of their character.

Yeah, you others might consider this a minor thing, but to someone like me, this is a big deal. Every chapter she grows a tiny bit, but still keeps what makes her... well her.

@hedgemoney

YES! Precisely! The power of meaningful character development! SOMEONE GETS IT!

Also, THANK YOU TO THE TRANSLATION TEAM! YOUR BEST EFFORTS GIVE US LIFE!

Viva la Revolucion!!!

 

[saph]

still want ponytail to do revolution. neither of them are an isekai protagonist so they might not see the merits of overthrowing the monarchy but i hope ponytail isn't steered away from going thru with it just because one (1) ruler is a good egg

 

[mammaria]

absolutely agree with @hedgemoney!!! of course, this also is different because unlike other villainess stories, mia is not another person but the same villainess, and also she recognizes that she sucked and so of course people wanted her dead. she learned from her past!!! she's great!! i love that she's only doing it to save her own skin lmao!! BUT NOW SHE HAS THE ATTENTION OF THE TWO PEOPLE SHE LEAST WANTED IT FROM LKJSLKJSDJL hilarious

THAT LAST PAGE HAD ME ROLLING LMAOOOO thank you so much for the update!!!
