Akuyaku Reijou desu ga, Shiawase ni Natte Misemasu wa! - Anthology Comic - Vol. 15 Ch. 2 - You Have no Sense of Decency in your Behavior

[someunregpunk]

Someone made an entire chapter out of the gripe I have with "villainesses": when they literally don't do anything and things are just resolved around her. There was a potential small gag with her doing all this work to bring Just Some Girl down that ended up being useless cause they just believe her, but they didn't use it at all

Imma be real, at this point the editors have to be including some of these stories just to publicly humiliate the authors and artists. Like I don't even blame the authors and artists for mediocre stories. You're bound to have them when you're just starting or writing for fun. But I will blame the editors for putting them on blast like this

and they also addressed on after the resolution, the super dense ML loses his density and everyone lives happily ever after.

I don't understand why this was even a story. This is just calling out the gaping plot holes in any standard condemnation scenario, but without any novel twist or engaging characters to build on a standard foundation. Was the author twelve or something?

The term for it lampshading, but calling out something and then carrying it out doesn't excuse them for doing it imo.

We’re on volume 15 and got a story like THIS?!?! What the fuck it’s terrible! Bland, the art is off-putting for the story, and nothing about the ‘villainess’ actually mattered, seeing as she just had to remain silent for 90% of the accusation scene.

We started with a MMC named Adolph (yeesh) and it only went further downhill from there...

After 14 previous volumes we've already learned that they can't all be winners, so I guess this shouldn't be too surprising.

You know, I’ve been noticing MLs in manga being named that lately. I guess because the name doesn’t have the same infamy in Japan as it does in the West? I mean it’s a shame that name can’t be used anymore because of its attachment to the evilest leader in history, but ig it’s fine in shoujo fantasy manga??? 😬

I'm surprised by the amount of hate in the comments. I thought this was the best chapter of this anthology in a while.

It felt very realistic, like this is what would happen if someone brought one of their cheesy condemnation plots in front of a court in real life. It was pretty refreshing to see everyone dealing with the matter in a level-headed way, unlike other stories where they would present even the most obvious of counterevidence with overly dramatic flair. I also found it pretty funny too that the "villainess" had evidence of actual real crimes waiting in the wings. And I love that in the end, the two turned out to be just a couple of dorks in love.

Thank you for translating this Reiconn. Please take care of your health first though!

To be fair, a few DO have good explaination for why the assholes get believed! I remember "Duke's Daughter" pointed out that "because it was the Prince Ex of the FMC doing it" they couldn't come to her defense, less they suffer "Les Mejetes" HOWEVER just because the Ex BULLIED his way into getting what he wanted, it didn't change that a large amount of the crowd were on FMC side and it wasn't that hard for her to come back to high society later (more her mother dragging her because she was too workaholic back at their territory)

Honestly I love that story (wish the manga would fucking update!) BECAUSE of it doing what I like about ANOTHER Otome story I love "Fiancee Observation" where the gripes with Otome ARE pointed out and viciously mocked (In that one's case, I had a GRIN when the MC, Prince Cecil took a SHOT at the "Reverse Harem" ending when the Villainess FL Bertia brought it up, in a modern girls view, seems so ROMANTIC and "Dreamy" but realistically with the settings Era "common sense" the "Heroine" would be condemned as a Slut which is VERY BAD as SHE, not the Villainess would get shipped off to a Nunnery for it while the "powerful men all fighting and willing to debase themselves as SLUTS FOR THE HEROINE" will be mocked for being such Fools! Being a SIMP in an era AND positions where being seen as weak can be a DEATH SENTENCE"both literally AND figuretely!" The last part because "if you're this easily manipulated by a MERE WOMAN then maybe trusting you in power/something important might not be a great idea!" Can't trust a Lord with ALOT of power if he's so easily lead by the nose by a Woman, worse a COMMONER TURNED LOW NOBLE at that!) as well as how "the reincarnate in question aren't 100% always right" (There was something funny about Bertia ending up with her Dark Spirit Cat Maid pact partner and never realized she made a pact with her by ACCIDENT because "it was never brought up in the story" and her only concern is "Dark means EVIL" so that makes her a BETTER VILLAINESS! Or that she was caught off guard when she was having a baby brother because her SPOILING a major event that caused the OG Bertia and her father to become evil was her mother dying from a plague....however telling Cecil about it that makes him "get the antidote ingredients ready" on a whim assures the deaths that were suppose to happen never happen, and because her mother never dies, not ONLY does her father remain honorable, only "acting evil" when Cecil makes him aware two corrupt nobles who approached him, one of them was a pedo who targeted Bertia earning her father's ire and willingness to "fake" becoming "Fallen" for the sake of bringing them down! Of course he "got it on" with his wife with "thankful to be alive" sex that resulted in said brother's birth. And of course I think it was the first I saw that showed "how the Heroine gained so many followers" ain't because she's cute, her Light Spirit was mind controlling, which is prevents! Oh and the event that saved Bertia mother ALSO saved one of the OTHER "villainess" from getting sick that makes her frail in the future, leading to her "the Knight" fiancee from the Heroine's OG Harem from straying since she's healthy, their able to bond VERY EARLY on the same interests of being healthy nuts. Preventing the Heroine from being able to start his route since "he has no interest in straying")

Yall being so critical of this one it’s a tad funny. How can you not laugh at him asking her if she did any of it and then believing her innocence because she said nope. And then he proceeded to let the saintess dig her own grave as he knew his fiancé couldn’t do that which she was accused of. Not to mention the Emperor and Empress who just noped outta there cause they didn’t wanna deal with that idiocy lol

This work is only a single scene and arguably doesn't even qualify as a story. We're used to outright atrocious writing but this isn't even that--its literally just some characters talking to each other with no stakes, no outcomes, and...well nothing. May as well have just submitted twenty pages of blank paper and titled it "Lobos The Villainess's Deeeep Thoughts"

 

[ninjakai03]

ok

 

[OWMWO]

So this is what happened to villainess manga if everyone on scene are clear headed and have working logics.

Although it has it flaws, seeing the SAINT have scammed so many and been pulling wools over everyone eyes all this time, it feels clashing with how clumsy she is here. Personally don't think the page about many has fallen victims to saint treachery are necessary.

Kinda disagree with those on bad remarks. The art makes it pleasant to read and story is well done enough to fit in the allowed, limited pages. Author seems trying something new aside of everyone in scene got a good head, a guy find out and fucking around, and no exile or DEATH as punishment, it is actually worse. A noble heir who has lost all of his credibility and he will live as a joke from now on, and the saint bitch MUST MARRY HIM and NO ONE ELSE.

I think this chapter should be seen as the uhh.. KFC Break. Like you have good chapters and then you need a break with a total slop chapter. It did make me laugh tho! So even if it wasn't deep, detailed, intriguing or had any interesting characters, it was funny! Nice break of nonsense to laugh at.
Its junk food, it makes you chuckle, its not INSULTINGLING bad, just generic af. 5/10 chapter, but I don't mind its existence.

 

[arcosapphire]

I'm starting to wonder if this genre is just played out at this point. At first, it was a twist/deconstruction of expectations, but "villainess stories" are now so mainstream that the real twist would be that the villainess is actually evil.

Just before this I had checked out another series that's not even on MangaDex. It's called something like "Beneath the Mask", where the villainess gets jilted. It goes through the same kinds of motions. The fiance is taken with some other, lying girl, but otherwise everyone in the world is on the side of the "villainess". Everyone is deferential to her. She was born into privilege and looks down on the supposed heroine for not being as refined and classy. The twist is supposed to be that she wears a mask and is rumored to have an ugly face, but of course she's also a perfect beauty. So like...she was born into having every imaginable advantage and looks down on the heroine and everything works out for her and everyone supports her, and yet we're still supposed to cheer for her? I just think writers in this genre have completely lost the thread at this point. They expect us to be on the side of the villainess simply because she's positioned as such by convention. It's a bizarre end state.

Oh, and let's not forget the previous chapter in this volume was also a big miss. So far it's 0 for 2. Not a good sign.
