A Splendid Revenge Story of a Super-Dreadnought Cheat Villainess - Vol. 4 Ch. 13 - Game Start

[Fushiginiku]

My brain hurts so much.... so lunaria is real and mana is fictional.... but this is a story so lunaria is fictional too... so in a way lunaria is to mana as I am to lunaria? I think?

Exactly.

 

[otakudude303]

Well, that title page drop was a fucking banger and a half.

Hah... just another overdone trope bitchy protag whenever the MC is the reincarnated villainess. I don't hate an overdone trope, it's all about delivery and we'll see whether the author and the artist can deliver it or not. And hopefully the bitchy protag is somewhat decent in the brain department and not your average fully retarded like most of the bitchy protag reicarnator trope.

 

[Yuyu_yusha]

Yep, indeed, Japan has odd taste. That's why you don't nuke a country twice.

I hate the original game in these types of isekai villainess story. They feel so stupid and the only reason to play them is because the graphics is good and you don't have to think about the plot too much.

This seems like a rare case of obliviousness on Lunaria's part. She is reincarnated isekai style so relying on what she knows and not accounting for anomalies is shortsighted. Some potentials I thought of include that the fictional Japanese town is based on a real location and only the name was changed, or the alternate realities theory where that town does exist and that is where the 'heroine' is from, and finally that it is just another fan of the game and ignored the fictional town and went with Japan as a whole.

They are already hinting at the evil saintess cliche, I really hope they don't fall into the malicious/bullying coworker that was already known in their previous life as well. It's not going to be as easy for they'd like it to go since Lunaria has already established some allies. I am hoping that the revenge against the prince will include drawing him into the woods for the animals to get their own revenge.

You're reading into things quite a lot - she's just leaving it open ended. All she said here, and completely reasonably so, is that Mana hasn't done anything to her yet, but if she does side with the prince like in the game, she'll take action. That's it. She's running on the assumption right now that Mana is the game character, because there's no reason not to. That doesn't mean she won't change up her plans as soon as she realizes it isn't that simple, but she can't know or predict this situation until she meets the woman.

Game Start.... APT APT wkwkwk....
btw thank for the update

 

[Natoto]

imagine the heroine going 180 upon both learning she's a fictional character and learning about Dale's behavior to Lunaria.

 

[Rafalga]

So last page confirms that Mana is also a reincarnated person. Not in a fictional sense like the main story suppose to be but a real one like Lunaria. As soon as Lunaria sees them together, she will immidiately understand since according to her Mana shouldn't be making moves on the capture targets yet but this one is all over the prince already.

I hate the original game in these types of isekai villainess story. They feel so stupid and the only reason to play them is because the graphics is good and you don't have to think about the plot too much.

I mean, yeah, they're usually full of plotholes and we, the reader, see them precisely because we know plot holes and "What is shown on the surface of the VN isn't the whole story (by a long shot)" from writers using that as a plot device, but, if it were an actual VN, we'd probably play for the same reason the protagonists and GTBs have played them: Because we want to see the story, even if it does have holes.

I hated parts of Psychedelica of the Black Butterfly, for example. I absolutely hated certain parts. But I wanted to see more of the story. Other people hate parts of the Zero Escape trilogy, but again, players want to see the twists, those emotional moments, the sudden realisations.

We'd be playing it for the same reason we play any other dating sim: Because we found it interesting. Even if the otome genre is based on games that, by and large, don't exist (Specifically, a rival character who solely exists as a romantic antagonist and who is destined for a bad end), they'd still be games that are theoretically possible, and since the genre as a whole mixes the dating sim/VN aspect with SRPGs, JRPGs, minigames... They'd probably be some hella interesting games.

 

[whermit]

Oh no... Shes THAT type

 

[Willie29]

I pray for the thot to begone from thy saint

 

[Lenasien]

Not a fan of heroines being the villains since there's basically been too many of these in manga like this. However, I am still curious which path the story takes.

Thank you for translations!

Well, there's a novel (just released on end of November this year) about heroines is losing instead and, surprisingly, villainess doing her job perfectly (and that villainess is reincarnator too)

Just fyi, heroine is not reincarnator instead, like Livia from Mobuseka

 

[OmegaDragon]

The one she should aim for nest is the god(s) that isekaied thw saintess and give her the saint ability.
Like how in the living heck do a slut still retain her holy power.
It's ruining the saints status

 

[Hunter_Main]

They're screwed.

 

[Yokubou]

Can't they at least have a couple chapter of suspense? Why spoil it so soon?

 

[GambierBay]

I hope dale and mana burn

 

[Heykon]

Thanks for the translation

 

[skeleton637]

It is great that the artist made it so I already hate the saintess.

Reading the comments confused me a bit, so I figured I'd write out my thoughts here and come back after future chapters to see if my interpretation was incorrect or not:

• MC takes over Lunaria's body to take over her will kinda deal
• Mana is the main character of the game (not the story we're reading) which has a background of being an isekai'd character who comes from a fictional place in Japan
• Lunaria discusses this with Mythos and mentions that the place the Heroine is from isn't actually a real place in Japan
• This means that if the character were to "believe" they are from the fictional place in Japan, then she's just a scripted character
• When Lunaria mentions that if it's the scripted character, the Heroine would only bump into the Prince on the first day and that there would be no progress yet
• As we see Mana and Dale all snuggled up, and we received all of the information that we got above, we can formulate that the "Mana" here is Not a scripted character and is indeed a true reincarnator who is there to throw off the script and cause further challenges for our MC down the line
