Thanks for all of the past pages, and here's hoping things improve for you and you're able to get to a better spot in the future!

If it fits...

Oh, cool, it's good to see this getting an update. Thanks for the translation!

Send out the poisoned Farfetch'd!

Ugh, the last two were doing so well, and then... This mess. The start was somewhat promising, with the signs of an obvious plot and the FL taking steps to deal with that... And then suddenly, ML comes in, ends up acting generally creepy, and drops several plot details that don't end up being...

I quite enjoyed this one. Between having an actually-villainous villainess being genuinely in love, and between having an expressed relationship that goes beyond the service, this is a very solid and satisfying spin on what kind of relationship that could be. Beyond that, it's a fairly vanilla...

Overall, I enjoyed this one. I agree with the other comments that rightfully point out it's odd to have magical truth detection available, but to not always use it for high-level crimes, so it's necessary to imagine an appropriate reason to do so (lack of trust in the system, higher-ups pushing...

This one at least seems conceptually sound, if a little weak on the villainess part - but it can't quite execute. I agree that it's trying to set up three separate antagonists, none of which can do it particularly well - You have an easily brushed off girl, a maid who's reaching waaaaaay above...

Time for that quote! That being said, I'm happy that even if it was forced, this had an actual villainess in it. The actual use of a villainess premise and an interesting enough premise is enough to put it in the middle of the pack, even if the resolution is rather plane. My ratings on the...

Behold, an explicit in-story example of, "The term 'villainess' has lost all meaning", and a reminder that a broken engagement alone isn't enough to qualify. Beyond that, this is the classic Hallmark holiday special plot of, "Person in a relationship that they don't like meets someone that...

Now that I've had more time to think on it, I'm not a fan of this - it feels like one of those stories where all of the antagonists have contrived idiocy for the plot to move forward. They all have to miss a lot, between the father not finding it unusual that someone went from acting feral to...

Time for that quote again! I'm not even sure where the 'villainess' part comes in to play, when this is blatantly the prince cheating on the female lead. Beyond that, it's a very textbook fairy tale story, where even the memory of your actual prince is told in flashback. It doesn't do anything...

This one's one of those 'not amazing, but cute' types of stories. There's not much 'villainess' stuff going on beyond the background story - it's otherwise a fairly standard, classic tale of someone encountering each other in the past, than discovering each other and finding out they're still in...

This is one of my favorite chapters. It's a great example of toying with the expectations of what normally falls under villainess roles, and falls into a believable handling of classic roles. It's also a great example of a female lead with agency, and whom acts with grace when looking at what...

I'm fond of this one, even with the general historical issues. While it very much skirts the line of what a 'villainess' is, this is at least one of the cases where the female lead shows some form of agency, and does what she's able to put herself in a better position. My ratings on the...

It's weird - I think 1-1 was universally panned for playing with the 'test your love' framework, but this one doesn't feel nearly that bad despite using the same concept. It might be the cuteness of everybody trying to set each other up that does it, or the fact that the relationship isn't as...

This seems okay? Again, this at least checks off the villainess box, but seems to be oddly focused on teasing the step-relationship more than anything else. At least the ending is going in the appropriate direction, but it still doesn't feel like it does much with the core relationship. My...

I know some people enjoy that kind of characterization or that kind of relationship, but this feels vaguely unsatisfying to me. I think it's because the particular quirks here (replacing words, masochistic lover) don't particularly appeal to me. The miscommunications here aren't unreasonable...

I'm with you on that one. I dislike the fact that they're using this in a 'villainess' anthology and only paying lip service to the 'villainess' part, but at least it's a fine story that still got me to crack a smile. If they had just called this a broken engagement anthology, I'd understand a...

I'm with the crowd on this one - this is reaaaally pushing the term of 'villainous' when you've effectively got a Robin Hood style merchant, and the people who call Robin Hood villainous... Well... It's also a pretty standard 'hero comes swooping in to save potential romantic interest' story as...
