Isn’t Being A Wicked Woman Much Better?

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

She possessed a villainess who is known and hated for her evil acts in an unpopular novel. But because of her personality, it was extremely difficult for her to play the villainess role. But not for long…

“I’ll fix your dress according to your taste this instant!”

“My request.”

“O-Of course! As per your request, there’s only one piece available in the whole Empire.”

People around me listen to me well even if I just frown and sit still. Since I don’t have to live in difficulty, I decided to just comfortably live on as a villainess.

“Father. Is it necessary for you to solve formulas in this slow and inefficient way?”

I thought it would be good to be a rich villainess, so I used all my knowledge.

“Why don’t you give me the honor of escorting the Princess?”

I have had enough of dealing with my father, so why did an unexpected character suddenly appear? What if this person disrupts my plan?

I love the main character and her worldview. Having learned the hard way that caring too much about other people and what they think she goes on to be... just as good a person, just a little stronger. Maybe I take this novel a little too personally (my mom’s too nice for her own good and grew up as her family scapegoat. They think I’m evil because I told my aunt she’s not as nice as she thinks she is and I don’t trust her) but I love the way... more>> she uses everyone’s negative view of her to her own advantage.

I like the ML. He’s smart and capable but is so used to girls throwing themselves at him that it takes him a while to figure out how to flirt effectively.

I also really appreciate how, rather than having some crazy gold finger that cheats the world, FL uses her skills in architecture, basic modern marketing, and algebra. I also think the FL and ML work really well together with her providing revolutionary ideas and him providing resources and know-how. Their romance is slow, but in a way that gives it a sense of realism. <<less

MC is a Mary Sue, and it gets old, annoying, and boring after a bit.

She is rich, has a high status, has powerful backings (not just family but also whats his face), and can do whatever she wants. Everything works however she wants. If someone offends her, it's like "wow how great that works out for me in ___ way".

She is good at drawing, architecture design, logo design, math, making smoothies (+ sports drinks and coffee), food, running businesses, and everything in general it seems. Coupled with how she keeps... more>> piquing the interest of important people and how she stutters when thinking (not even talking, just thinking), it's frustrating to read after a while (case in point: when trying to think about how she was previously thinking that someone likes her, she thinks "What I thought last time, that he l-l-lik..." After all that effort to get to the "i" after "l", she couldn't even finish her thought.

Regardless, a good read if you are able to shut off your brain (like all the way shut; not one brain cell active). It's generally entertaining, and the MC isn't the worst as a person. <<less

Great story. Good characters, nice world, smart use of both. Only real issue is it feels slow, without action or a lot of drama the smart business stuff and we'll written character development can feel a bit plodding.

This is one of the best light novels that I have ever read and that I will always read!!! Totally recommend:) I read and reread season 1 of the manga version and was so disappointed when it stopped just when it was getting exciting, and I am still waiting for the continuation of the series. I was over the roof when I discovered the light novel version and that it is almost completed!!!

I like how badass the FL is shown, what with how she was a pushover in her previous... more>> life. The author did a good job in not changing how she behaved, obviously she was more calmer and quite but her overall outlook had not changed much to the people around her, only the people who had close interactions with her could tell that she was different than how the rumors described her. But even later on, people outside of her circle had even started to notice.

I especially liked the scenes between the FL and the ML, even more so when they finally kissed!!! There was even a scene where they fooled around a little but not going all the way due to the ML who wanted to wait till she was a full adult. The scenes where he had to deal with her disproving male family members were hilarious as you can just see all the volcanic hated he is receiving due to him dating their treasure.. <<less

One of my favorites mostly because Debbie is such a boss. I really love how she tried to maintain her villainous reputation (at least in her head) simply because she hates breaking character. I was very invested in her business ventures. I haven't read the sidestories but I hope it shows what happened to the soul of the real Deborrah. I always wonder about that with these kinds of stories.

It's a very good novel.

-Not everyone are villains
-ML is adorkable, I wont spoil anything exept to say he's likeable.
-MC is great, she's smart and she uses her knowledge and life experience very well. Not to mention she takes advantage of her villanous reputation. Only complaint is that she, like other such MC's, is rather too perfect. However it's one of the reasons I like these kinds of novels :P

The story is good, it's not heavy on the drama or tension. Romance is definitely there, but it's not one... more>> of those novels that spend 1-3 chapters before the ML\FL have evoled into a deep relationship. The romance takes time and leaves lots of room for other stuff (which is what I personally prefer).

I recommend reading this novel. I've enjoyed reading it so far. <<less

This is my favorite villainess isekai novel—I’ve read it twice. Deborah is really smart and Isidore is such a great ML. They are on the same wavelength and really belong together. Deborah isn’t one of those “smart at everything except love FL” who tries to deny her feelings or do the opposite of her feelings once she recognizes them, which is really nice. There’s enough drama to keep you interested but not so much that you want to scream in frustration. 10/10!

I feel so comfortable when reading it. FL doesnt care about the original plot, she just chooses to live as she wants, and the relationship of FL with her siblings as well her father is quite interesting. AND, I love how the love between FL and the ML. It is very natural, and I love the way she is so observant!

Hmmm story line is fine too, I dont feel boring because the story is going very smoothly.

If there's a point I don't like, that it seems related to God or... more>> things like divine entity. It is so typical, too much story use this way to solve the story then I was hoping for some thing new <<less

I hate 1st person narrative!

But this one is better than most J-novels under the same villainess trope.

It still has some boring patches though, and the munchkin parts doesn't help. The pace is too slow at times, but it's (quite) interesting to see various characters' rotating as the 1st person narration.

My biggest concern is how flat the characters are--esp our FL & ML. Her 1st person narration is boring... ML is the biggest munchkin, lol, but he was so well made in the manhwa, I ended up reading the novel. Probably... more>> manhwa>novel, over there, the facial expressions & characters are built better.

Thanks for translating, Miki. K-novels are a pain to be MTL-ed! <<less

I'm sorry if there is any grammar or spelling mistake, English is not my first language.

So the romance trope is basically "unpredictable MC x smarty ML". While the MC is a former pushover, when she possesses the body of a villainess called Deborah Seymour, she realizes that she actually likes being feared of since nobody can easily convince her, and she also realizes that she had been a pushover for her whole life until she died. She makes use of the things she knew in her original world to make... more>> money. Also, she has no romantic feelings for anyone.

She isn't really a villainess, but she doesn't change the image that people have of her and makes use of it. She sometimes acts like a villainess (for the sake of maintaining her image) and, due to her scary appearance (and the bad rumors that circulate), people are afraid of her.

At first, the ML was slightly 'interested' in her, but then those feelings evolved. He's not perfect, he has flaws and is not a good person like he looks like in the MC's eyes.

The original MC was a saint called Mia Vinoche.

Spoiler

I believe Mia Vinoche is not a real saint. She has dyed her hair pink, and she is indirectly controlled by an organization through Ophelia, her caretaker, to make her the saint and have the power to choose who sits on the throne.

About the ML, I don't like how he takes advantage of his position as the Master but I think that if I were in his place I'd probably do the same. It's better to benefit from certain things if one can.

The message that it is okay to make yourself your priority in life while setting boundaries and bottomlines to create and keep relationships healthy is also wonderful

So far, I've only found up to the 14th extra chapter and I can't wait to read this wonderful story to the end

Hilarious. Interesting characters. Cliche but entertaining plot.

This nov is my #1 favorite "villainess noble girl" romp. She isn't your typical soft s*upid villianess that collects a harem by speaking the right lines. Deborah is out here for $$$money$$$ and the tears of her enemies.

After getting isekaied into the body of a fantasy empires #1 spoiled brat, Deborah realized that being feared was... actually... a pretty good gig. She gets everything she wants & people bend over backwards to make her comfortable. All she has to do is occasionally make a... more>> huge scene in public so people remember to reward her when shes not making trouble. As a anxiety-driven-cronic-pushover, isn't being a villian... actually amazing? The only thing that could make it better is the financial independence to keep this lifestyle going. Join Deborah's journey into shady buisness & tax fraud!

on the harem:
Spoiler

there isnt one. Deborah isnt interested in romance. There is only one ML and he has to work hard for it.

[collapse]

on the OG FL:
Spoiler

yes she is evil & manipulative. Shes just not that good at it

[collapse]

on the MCs abilities:
Spoiler

she cant use magic or swords & isn't that smart. No bonuses there. She was an architect before isekai and happens to be very good at math. Patenting tech based on modern math principals & introducing shady capitalist buisness practices to the world is where she shines. Later she gets her OP powerset: turns out shes a saintess and has unlimited holy power. it comes off as pretty funny since she doesnt fit the cute pure saintess type

The father/daughter interactions in the beginning for a little too much too soon imo, but other than that it's a pretty entertaining read. The MC is smart but not some overexaggerated genius, her attitude towards the ML is a bit much for my tastes but not enough where I'd say it's a major detriment to the story.

I love it so much!! The story is paced perfectly for me. Unlike other stories where the villainess tries to turn over a new leaf and change her attitude completely to avoid red flags, the FML here acts like the villainess she possessed and wins their heart like the way she is. It's quite fun read and the romance is slow but meh, it's fun! Definitely a good read, can't wait for more developments between her family and the ML <3

This is one of my fav, I'm truly glad that I found this one. The character development of everyone, the family interactions especially Deborah and Enrique, the romance (tho I doubted at first because the chemistry between the leads weren't really it, maybe it's because of Deborah's character anyway it gradually developed into a good relationship)

All in all this story was definitely worth reading. I love Deborah sm, she's so cool. Honestly, the chapters weren't enough for me. I'm really hoping that there will be 50+ side story chapters.

This is an amazing novel and the FL is interesting. Yes, her drastic development from a pushover to a villainess is sudden, but the character development of FL is still good. The melding of Deoborah and her original personality is fun to see and experience. I think to a certain extent, she gained courage by saying that she is a vilpainess and that she needs to maintain her character.

So far I really enjoy the pacing of the novel, as well as the character development of our MC.

The ML is someone who seems to respect our MC for her abilities, and doesn't seem to be the type to act like she's a helpless damsel in distress (she is very much NOT, considering how she's impressed him thus far with her abilities).

What I'm enjoying as of this chapter is how well her relationship with her father has developed, especially since it seems that he does love his daughter despite everything... more>> the original host has done.

All the men so far as tr*sh, especially the Prince.

The so called Female Lead is very, very sus and I already dislike her character.
Spoiler

She seems to be manipulated, even to the extent of being susceptible to some type of magic by a third party so I'm on the fence on whether or not to write her off as a true blue villain in this novel.

[collapse]

I honestly can't wait for our dear MC to prove her worth (go Engineering student!!) especially to all her doubters and naysayers. A Queen is here to conquer. <<less
