Though I May Be a Villainess, I'll Show You I Can Obtain Happiness! - Vol. 11 Ch. 3 - The Revenge of a Certain VIllainess

[HaikenEdge]

yep, this one is good, if i have to find a fault is that it could've been much better had it been 2 or 3 chapters to really get a taste of revenge on the prince and king, some torture scenes, some gloating, it was too glossed over.

That's more a limitation of the format; anthologies like this seem better for a proof of concept rather than a full story. The only real full story we got was the Flowery Path of Evil series, and even then, that turned into a reverse harem sort of thing.

i mean shit i guess

 

[ayka06]

ooohhh I like how dark this is 👌👌

Who was the author for this one? it was so good!

Story from Yuki Yasai, but unfortunately, no other works by this author exist/hasn't been translated to MD

Damn, I wish this was a full series!

 

[ForrestMagus]

I'm glad others noticed; it doesn't feel like a story as much as a summary of one. Just about every page was exposition, so I could hardly feel invested in any of what happened. Maybe it would be better executed in its own serialization.

I like the elements of the story but they weren't able to really bring in an emotional element. It's a one shot but the problem is throughout the story we are just being told what's happening and I think that's what is causing the disconnect. There's not much emotional connection with the characters or actions that really causes us to really root for the FL.

 

[Psychronia]

Oh, this is a good one. Actual villainess stuff, and I'm always a fan of the heroine teaming up with the villainess.
This was just a full-on conspiracy against the crown.

And it certainly had me wishing it could be expanded into a full series.

 

[Meo]

I feel like I would like this way more if it was actually say a 12 part series or something.

Cause all that was, was a summary. And I was so confused.

Like I get why the FL and her family wanted revenge for the poisoning of her mother (by the King or his people). Why was the Count (man she married) in the scheme? Was it his wife that was killed by...his son/heir? In the middle someone's wife also was part of some poisoning scheme.

 

[DoingScience]

This could be possibly be better as a longer series, but I don't see it deserving any praise. It really falls flat as a oneshot, as it was just an endless stream of "all according to keikaku" narrated flatly, with a final love confession at the end. Everyone was in on the plan and royal family is mindlessly cruel without even paying attention if their fiance/lover/supplier is someone they wronged in the past.

I assume just after this she was revealed as the Saintess and killed God, who was actually evil don't ya know.

 

[moderateTrouble]

For some reason, I'm not understanding the logic of the revenge plot. Not sure if its me issue, a translation issue, or plot issue.

 

[unime]

Lol I liked this one but it felt like a teaser
Many thanks

 

[7goat]

What a rollercoaster!

 

[Shiranuhi]

would do pretty well in a short serialization...

 

[Angelnickl]

I enjoyed this one the most so far, out of the volume. A longer stretched out version serialized, with seeing some more of the backstory to set up revenge would be neat to read. Would probably need more supporting characters before the breakup, but writing more co-conspirators seems up the author's alley.

I love this one, very different from the others in this serie

The son/heir was the Husband to the count’s daughter. The son-in-law/adopted heir poisoned his wife. He also happened to provide the king and/or his people with the same poison that killed the FMC’s mom.

It was an amalgamation of revenge. The FMC’s family wanted revenge on the king and Prince for their wife/mother. The ‘mistress ‘wanted revenge for the terror and bloodshed the Prince and his cronies did on her home territory, the count wanted revenge on his heir/son-in law for his murder and adultery against the count’s daughter. The scarred maids/mother and daughter also wanted revenge on the prince. Finally the merchant wanted revenge on his father the king for harming his mom. They all had targets in common so why not team up?

they all get their revenge and get to continue their lives now that their hated foes are dead.
