I’ll Save This Villainess

Even Lee Joo-hwan, my father’s son and the president of the company, asked me.

“Do do you really have to kill off that character? Isn’t the team strongly against it?”

“Sayla is—”

“—the most elegant and alluring when she dies. I’ve heard that so many times, I think my ears are going to bleed.”

I made every effort to kill Sayla, believing it was the right decision as a developer and character designer, and the results were indeed excellent. The game we developed,’That Summer, There was Them(TST)’, caused a global sensation as soon as it was launched. Sayla Devernon, a character I painstakingly designed, was named “The Most Captivating Villain” by the game industry’s equivalent of TIME magazine, ‘Gomonji’.

“You were right. Sayla overwhelmingly took first place in the popularity polls. We’re already getting tons of requests for Sayla merchandise.”

Experts pointed to Sayla as the biggest factor in TST’s success. But I still couldn’t be satisfied. In my view, TST was still incomplete.

“There’s still a route where Sayla survives!”

I had to eliminate it, to make TST more perfect. I played countless times, trying to kill Sayla. Just now, I managed to kill her again.

“Great. I killed her again!”

As I was about to put down my phone, I heard a voice.

{“I didn’t want to die.”}

Startled, I looked around, and there she was, Sayla, staring at me from the screen.

{“Now you experience it. Save my life.”}

I had transmigrated into the body of the world’s most captivating villain, Sayla Devernon, the very character I had struggled so hard to kill.

MC, a game developer working with AI learning to create a more personalized and in-depth gameplay, was pulled into the character Sayla, the villainess who always dies. Or so that was the goal, Sayla's character was great at finding plot holes to live on and MC was great at snuffing out the possibilities to ensure 100% death on all playthroughs. Until MC became Sayla, and had to fight for her life in this game that tries hard to kill her.

The writing is hilarious and elegant, world building was great, and... more>> all characters had life to them with many POVs giving an all-around view. This was a very enjoyable read, the crazy characters were fun, but some revenges (completed by male leads) went a tad overboard in unfairness. Although the light-hearted writing style never made serious situations seem dark.

The author is intelligent and knows how to write multiple different personalities, each character is unique and the 'hive-mind' doesn't affect our characters.

One aspect that drew me in was how I was learning. Plots, schemes, how to respond, how to plan, and more variables to keep an eye on. It was really fun to see logical butterfly effects here, and not cliche ones.

Also, since the original destination was the academy where the game began, I surprisingly enjoyed the beginning up to the academy and even the academy was fun and unpredictable. When we finally arrived at the academy I was worried the story may turn dull compared to the life we've read... But I was pleasantly surprised at how hilarious the academy was. The maze-like layout, illusion rooms, and straight-up hazard zones were amazing haha, but the professors were the stars. The professors were... actually let me drop a spoiler so you can see.

Keep in mind, 90% of these students have never lived without a personal maid. They are rich pampered kids that more often than not have personality problems. The goal of the academy is to create a safe microcosm of society to teach these kids how to survive in real life on their own. This is essentially a two-faced bootcamp that fixes the problematic parenting which spoils them. Lots of actually great lessons here that even the reader can learn from.

The Principal's welcoming
Spoiler

"Welcome, lovely people. welcome."

Alex, a (physics) wizard, appeared on the podium.

Even from afar, its presence was great.

Even though I was very used to muscle guys thanks to Uncle Thenon, Alex was really amazing.

'Wow, I think he's twice as big as Uncle Tenon.'

When I actually saw it, the feeling of intimidation was enormous.

The height is 2 meters 30 cm. Weight 160kg.

He had sturdy trapezius muscles and wide pectoralis major muscles, wore white sleeveless shirts, and was holding a slender (?) magic wand.

However, the way he spoke was very kind and quiet, so it felt very different.

He waved his wand and something popped up above our heads! and appeared.

It was a white badge.

"This is a badge that represents a first year student. Do you know what this white badge means?"

In a very friendly tone, someone confidently raised their hand.

"I think it means purity and cleanliness."

"you're right. "Your brain is pure."

The students momentarily tilted their heads.

I was confused as to whether it was a compliment or an insult.

"It means there is nothing in the head."

"... ..."

Principal Muscle grinned.

"But don't worry. "This academy will fill your innocent brain with many things."

I secretly shrugged my shoulders.

Yes, this is Somarpi Academy.

And, here's one Professors Law class introduction

Spoiler

"My assistant, this is Ifrit."

Ifrit, a hamster trainer with a strange combination of white and brown fur, had an incredibly cute appearance.

As Ifrit muttered something, a magic circle was created.

A green circular magic circle seemed to be created, and various chocolates and candies fell out of it.

Professor Jontale said as he picked up a piece of candy.

"Now, this is what I stole from you."

Then the students rummaged through their pockets and soon their faces became pale.

"My, my candy... ... !"

"My chocolate!"

Within Somarpi Academy, the imperial currency was not very important.

Rather, snacks such as chocolate and candy tended to replace currency.

This was a particularly notable characteristic among first-year students who were almost completely cut off from communication with the outside world.

In other words, the students were now robbed of their money.

"Then what should you do to get yours back?"

One student raised his hand.

"You should be admonished that it is dishonorable to steal."

"Then can I get it back?"

"I trust Instructor Ifrit's conscience."

Ifrit is excited! He snorted.

"Are you crazy? "I'll give it back."

Then he took out an almond candy and put it in his mouth.

For a hamster, it is quite large and its mouth has become convex.

"Isn't there someone a little wiser?"

Again, one student raised his hand.

"We are putting pressure on you by proving that Assistant Ifrit stole it."

"How do I prove it?"

"You just have to show the evidence."

"What evidence?"

"Look, there's a video recording device."

The form of a black magic stone.

In reality, something similar to CCTV was installed in the corner of the classroom.

Professor Jontale grinned and pointed at the video recording device.

pop! The video recording device exploded.

"Then what now?"

"Even if the video recording device exploded, the storage stone containing the video will be recorded in the academy's video storage room."

"Can you save it?"

"yes. "I believe that if I tell the storage room manager the exact situation, he will cooperate."

"The manager is Assistant Ifrit."

A [♩♬] sign appeared above Assistant Ifrit's head.

Anyone could see that it looked like he was making fun of the student.

"You won't cooperate? "Ebebe."

"... ..."

For reference, Assistant Professor Ifrit was originally a very kind and gentle hamster, but he was an unfortunate character who developed a vicious habit of taking out the stress he received from the professor on his students.
