The Villainess is Retiring / I'll just Live On as a Villainess

Another one of those "after the story is over" series.

Summary So, our main girl is the villainess, of course. And since the "main couple" have gotten together, she is banished to the cold North. How to keep warm in winter when there's no viable firewood in the area and the firewood supply from the capital has been cut off? Summon the most powerful archmage ever to light the fireplace. Obviously. Girl's just trying to lead a chill life of exile but of course ~plot~ happens. Make way everyone, she's the main character now. (whether she wants to be or not)

Tropes - isekai-ed as the villainess in an otome game (but all these capture targets are meh) - OG!FL is somewhere there in the background - who run the world? GIRLS - this animal ain’t a real animal - everyone already ships it but you won't believe how dumb baby girl and baby boy are

FL - Yveria Obelon

 - just wanna ~chill~ curse all this damn ~plot~  - this time she's the Cold Duke('s daughter) of the North with the furry cloak - dumbass in love

ML - Theoharris / Harry

- surprisingly pure for a 2000+ year old demon - doggo - of course the ML is handsome (unfortunately he also knows this) - dumbass in love

Rating: I enjoyed my time reading this It’s so cute. Lol. I love doggo!Harry. Status (as of 11 Nov 2023) Ongoing.

Same Same but Different  - The Lady wants to Rest - Beware the Villainess!

Me when I’m confronted with any mildly embarrassing situation

[5water-kohaku]

As soon as I saw Archibald, I thought, "SOMEONE HELP. HE LOOKS LIKE HIDEYOSHI, MY HUBBY." I got to get back into some Ikemen Sengoku now. LOL Cause I miss Hideyoshi every time Archibald pops up.

Best Fantasy Anime (with mostly female leads)

Listen, I love fantasy anime. They are fun and I love a fight scene as much as the next girl. I am relatively uninterested in male leads mostly because of the *cough, cough* excessive fan service.

Random fic idea: Cedric Porter remembers the time loops or some of them

Ok but um… what if, instead of the capture targets remembering… it’s our number one, overworked, highly capable, best aide that remembers the time loops. Like he remembers at least 2. One where Penelope and Callisto are a thing and she dies with Callisto following after going off the rails with a murderous rampage, and one where they don’t get together and Leila happens.

- He remembers at the end of the war just as they’re making the preparations to return to Eorka

- He’s older than Callisto by a few years and was actually his tutor while he was on the battlefield. Like, he was young when he went in, who the F finished his royal instructions. Cedric is a genius and nothing anyone says can change that.

- He goes into planning mode, first he plans dates for Callisto and Penelope. And also starts trying to teach him on romance and normal human interactions. Callisto goes along with it to humour him

Cedric: Your highness, women are like chocolates

Callisto: I hate super sweet things. You’re saying I should crush them under my boots?

Cedric: Alright, let’s try that again… women are like dark chocolates

Callisto: So I should devour every one of them?

Cedric panics and says no: Alright, so think of them as rabbits…

Callisto: Hunt them?

Cedric: Your highness! Please stop being so obtuse!

Callisto just smirks and motions for him to go on.

- He deliberately makes Callisto pass through the corridor where he knows Penelope was being harassed by a drunk nobleman during the Victory Banquet. Callisto basically saves Penelope and she thanks him, looking him in the eyes without stuttering, blushing, or cowering in fear and he becomes interested since that’s a first when it came to women or any civilians actually.

- Callisto and Penelope become friends with Penelope seeing him as her hero and they write back and forth. He becomes incredibly protective of her and unknowingly becomes smitten which is what Cedric had planned

- Cedric dropping hints for outings (dates) and arranging things for Callisto before he even says anything. Also pushes for the Leila hunt and has his own plans for her

- Cedric and Callisto’s efficiency quadruples for a short while since Cedric already has some foresight into what happens for the next few months which frees up a lot of their time

- Cedric makes some contingencies for the hunting festival but otherwise leaves it alone. He knows Callisto needs some alone time with Penelope and he already knows the man will pull through from the poison

- He realizes he miscalculated just a smidge when he sees hickeys on Callisto after the assassination attempt while he was unconscious

- Cedric helps him take care of the Delman uprising easily and is already anticipating the movements of the second prince and the Leila so the Emperor survives while the Second Prince, the Queen, and the entirety of the Allen family is put to the sword along with a few other noble families that had participated in the coup

- He isn’t surprised that Callisto and Penelope are planning to get married immediately because he already had a feeling that she had gotten pregnant during the hunting festival

- He eventually confesses the time loops to Callisto who is only angry that he let Penelope be in danger during the hunt but otherwise lets it pass and admits that Penelope does remember the time loops as well, but there were more than just two, there were dozens if not hundreds to which Cedric shuddered

- Cedric also realized he had shot himself in the foot when Callisto tells him that he won’t be able to retire now and this is proven true when his children eventually become aides to the Imperial children and their descendants follow along

Let this Grieving Soul Retire

Dropped, and why

Demon Lord 2099 - I watched the first 7 episodes and it was good, but the end of the seventh episode really felt like a natural ending spot and it kept dropping down my watch order until I eventually dropped it.

The Healer Who Was Banished From His Party, Is, in Fact the Strongest - It really felt like nothing was happening and it didn't feel like it was going anywhere either.

Another Journey to the West - I gave it 3 episodes and it just never fully caught my interest so I dropped it.

Delico's Nursery - Nothing particularly bad about it, it just got pushed out by a stacked season

2023 Winter Three-Episode Check-In

The big forerunner this season? Girls in fantasy shows!

The team split up the three-episode reviews between staff volunteers, with one person putting together a short(ish) review on each series. Like we do with our check-in podcasts, we started from the bottom of our Premiere Digest list and worked our way up.

If we didn’t watch a show for at least three episodes, we skipped it, and we’ve used nice bold headers to help you quickly jump to the shows you’re interested in. We’ve also excluded shows that are continuing on in basically the same vein as our premiere review to conserve space. Unless specifically noted, we will not be mentioning overt spoilers for anything beyond episode three.

We don’t have the time to keep up with everything, so please let us know about any gems we might be missing in the comments!

3. I'd Rather Date the Male Lead's Dad || Lilia Vanrouge

When the universe dunks you into a dumpster fire of a novel as the villainess, survival is key. Except your husband, Trey Clover, turns out to be such a green flag that it gets a little harder to function.
