#the mom/mommy sayer was not a child in case that wasn't clear

[zoobus]

I feel like it’s safe to say it here. I hate seduce the villains dad so damn much. So much! Like the villainess is the type that every other story deconstructs yet this story plays it up shamelessly and people dare to put its uwu protag with villainess protags it drives me up the wall

I thought I was gonna be with you (in that I didn't like Seduce the Villain's Dad right away because the protagonist is kind of... I've been called mom/mommy by someone I didn't know that well and I didn't like it) but I'm actually not sure what you mean?

I remember her as unabashedly manipulative, only looking out for her own personal gain. I like when villainess characters remain that way and I'm always a little disappointed when they get entirely redeemed or retconned as misunderstood.

IMO the deconstructed villainess typically explain the usually condemned behavior like how like it or not, this IS an aristocratic society so your true love commoner wife will inherently cause political factions or the obvious "I don't know how to explain to you that seeing my fiance openly flirt with other women and publicly rebuking me, all while the whole school sneers and gossips about it makes me feel like the world's biggest clown" is a very normal thing for a teenager to be mad about. One of my favorite examples of this was the one shot The Villainess Laughs Innocently, from a greater anthology of otome isekai stories

In this story, Elodia's not that type? I don't want to say Elodia is "just" a villainess, but she has motives and desires that aren't romance related. I like these kind of girls, I love when girls are greedy, ambitious, calculating, manipulative, etc. There's little too misunderstand; she's just a girlboss who wants to stay winning

(in which the main character learns not to fall for a pretty face alone)

So if what you're saying is you hate it because you would rather read about Elodia, okay sure she's pretty cool. If you're saying people ship the main character with the villainess, I don't personally have a problem with that. Elodia's the only character in the story who's cold, cruel, AND sexy, so no matter what, she's getting shipped with the pink marshmallow character.

But regardless, it's absolutely fine for you to hate her for whatever reasons, I'm not a cop. Whichever one you think is a bitch, go on and hate that bitch.
