AND THIS IS WHY I LOVE HER AND WHY SHE'S MY BEST GIRL!!!!!! I'LL WASH THOSE DISHES REAL DAMN GOOD, NOTHING LESS FOR MY QUEEN!!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I'm still wondering where she got the whip from.

Making you all go through this training until you finally understand how to do the dishes

I hope that if there's a season two of I'm in love with the villainess, we see more of Manaria. And if we see more of Manaria, I hope that she's her reunited with her maid. To me, it felt like they had something truly special because they were (likely) eachother's first loves, and the feelings haven't quite gone away even with time. If they're shown to be older and have a more mature relationship I'm gonna be so happy!!

For some reason I can't get this cute maid and her smile out of my head!

Protect The Smile!

Claire's last words to her mom being ones of anger and spite really adds a new layer of context to her telling Rae that her personality is unlovable

im sorry but "kill the villainess" (story by your april and art by haegi, included those because there wre Many similarly named stories lmao) is what ALL those other bitches THINK they are

the repeating pattern of all the men around her becoming obsessed with her not because of their Real relationship, but what they projected onto her- mirroring the common "heroine picks up 5 dudes nobly obsessed with her" trope in a much more realistic, gross way. the one guy who is Genuinely in love with her is a bit Obsessive with it but it still is genuine a result of her Actions, not whatever he made up in his own head

the way all the named characters, important or not, got a short and sweet (or. very Not sweet. the dressmakers story hit me with such powerful melancholy i had to put my phone down) backstory that explains who they are and why they act a certain way. down even to the "super supportive maid" all these stories have, who usually only get paired off with a spare man if theyre lucky, being revealed to being one of the most integral characters to the narrative

the Hints of lore but All of that lore doubling back to serve a purpose beyond a single relevant arc- maybe its just me but a lot of these generic female oriented fantasy novels love to drop a lot of keysmash-named lore dumps that arent rlly thought out that well. but here, for one example, jareds dragon killing story that helped the eris figure out the rules of causality coming back to be his karmic punishment? gold

and related to that, how they really went into the functionality of the fantasy world, how its real and not- milennia of history and legends and stories and people (awful as 90% of them seem to be lol) doomed to die, with medea dedicating her life to finding way to avert that? finding a new "author" within the story, a side character who before anyone else decided to change their own narrative by giving themselves a new name, changing fate before "eris" ever arrived?

helenas arc not being the now kinda overdone twists of "the perfect heroine from the story is actually a huge BITCH" or "the perfect heroine also transmigrated", but instead a woman who acted ignorant to survive learning that they may help you in the moment, but not forever, and finally Properly standing up for herself at the end

and to tie it all together, the premise itself. "eris" not wanting to just Accept her new life, not having a dramatically terrible life that one would want to escape, just a normal ho hum one with normal trauma and baggage anyone might have. addressing the "realities", as it were, of escapist fantasy- some people probably truly do want a whole new life, but 90% of people would end up desperately, achingly missing what they used to have

tldr kill the villianess feels like it stepped back, saw all the overused tropes of the genre good and bad, and decided it wanted to tackle them and tackle them well

Im in Love With the Villainess (2023) S01 E02 (A Maids Job Is a Labor of Love

[quartztwst]

tbh all these fantasy manhwas are kinda boring there’s probably some that are good but im talking about the princess/villainess ones bro

there’s always some wannabe girl bosses and there’s boring ass male mcs i just need a good one bro please

the only manhwas with the princess type beat i finished are “Who Made Me a Princess” bc it was like my first one

the others that I have read but didn’t finish are “Trash of the Counts Family (CALEEE HEHEHEH CALEEE)” “Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint” “Second Life of a Trash Princess” “Beware of the Villainess” “Surviving as a Maid” “College Student Empress”

Okay i think we both know Trash of the Counts Family and Omniscient Reader are like different compared to the others bc they have male leads and also they’re a little different. Trash of the Counts Family does follow the isekai villain thing but also i dont remember most of it so damn

I stopped reading “Surviving as a Maid” after I heard that the female lead was just catching these men like pokemon. What I meant is that it was a harem. I don’t like harems. And also the fact she was going to romance the Emperor too made me gag and throw up bc I genuinely liked the red hair guy. He was the only guy to help her and protect her. I don’t know why she needed the harem. That guy was literally top tier AND THE EMPEROR DOESN’T EVEN PAY ATTENTION TO HER. He’s GAY or bi idk but I knew sure as hell that he wasn’t attracted to the fl. I dropped it after that news.

WHAT DOES THE REVERSE HAREM EVEN DO FOR THE STORY?? super forced the red hair knight was enough i loved that guy

“Beware of the Villainess” took too damn long. The build up was good and i thought it was funny. I thought the fl was gay. THEY YURI BAITED ME. Instead we got this blue furry. Honestly, he’s cute. I don’t care for him. I don’t care for the rest of the guys too.

“Second Life of a Trash Princess” attracted me because of the artstyle but then I dropped it since I had no idea what direction it was heading.

“College Student Princess” I LOVEEDDD i loved that comic. it was so silly and fun. I love the silliness and the stupid pervertness of the fl and the oblivious and awkward ml. And im not saying he’s meek. He was honestly pretty tough. Their chemistry, I believed, was really cute. I dropped it after the style change (IM SORRY) also i forgot about it

I need to read more manhwas bc I used to read a whole bunch in middle school through freshmen year since the websites were unblocked

[soupcanspecimen]

Hold up, she gets prettier! (*Snap)

LOOK AT HER IN HER GLASSES AND HER SMILE!!!!!! 💜

I MISS HER!!!!! 😭l

Today's Maid of the Day: Lene Aurousseau from Watashi no Oshi wa Akuyaku Reijou

[cyzyhah]

SPOILERS: IM IN LOVE WITH THE VILLAINESS

So I just finished ep7 of I’m in love with the villainess and I just love how Rod is just the comedy break now, not even a potential pairing with one of the girls. He’s just Rod doing Rod things

Like Rod is getting into his inner skater maid and also why did Yu and Rod decide to wear hair extensions??? Like bro is really serious about this, not even the other guys are wearing them or this is just an excuse for them to wear hair extensions lmao

Uhhmmmm why does this look like a possible love confession??😭😭 like I’m pretty sure he just wants to talk about the commoner equal rights movement butttt it would really be funny if seeing prince Yu in a maid outfit with hair extensions was a gay awakening for him, I mean I can’t lie prince Yu does look good in a maid outfit with hair extensions

ALSO THIS SCENE THIS SCENE JUST STIRRED SOMETHING IN ME I AM SCREECHING(on the inside of course) THIS SCENE JUST DOES SOMETHING TO ME IM NOT SURE WHAT BUT I LIKE IT PLEASE GIVE US MPRE OF THIS

[button-phobia-is-real]

you ever just go to watch the silly little im in love with the villainess anime and suddenly get fucking punched in the face with the fact the villainesses maid is in a relationship with her brother and that is the tonal shift of the story????

[soupcanspecimen]

LENE-SWAAAAAAAN!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

SHE'S EVEN PRETTIER WITH HER GLASSES!!!!

I Am Lenough!

i finally finished some art for once! this time of my best girl Lene Aurousseau because she deserves some love!! i spent way too long on this art that is essentially a silly pun but i like it!
