Well well well

This villainess means business, it's so refreshing seeing one actually going for actual revenge while maintaining her original noble traditional thought.

But I kind of agree with reincarnated person here. Her father did deserve what came to him giving that the despised his daughter because he disliked mother. But maid and her mother did not deserve the harsh treatment they got here.

I am still waiting to see if A-ko will have a chance to take control of the body at some point and do the things she thinks are correct.

Im liking the almost philosophical debate Gloria and A-ko are having here.

On the one hand, Gloria’s right: the setting is one where inequality is the norm. While it could change in the future, at the moment Gloria must act according to its logic and be a proper noble, other world ethics be damned.

On the other hand, A-ko knows that Gloria’s behavior goes beyond the status quo in this world. She’s unnecessarily cruel to others, even if it’s for revenge, and it may have been what got her killed the first time.

I wonder if this will be a story where both sides have to learn to compromise and work together while changing each other’s perspectives on life. Be an interesting angle to go with.

Thanks for translating OP!

It's interesting, but I do hope that the isekai'd villainess personality is more than just a goody-two-shoes optimist, and has some depth to them, and is actually able to contend with the MC's mindset at some point.

Of course the maid betrayed you in the original timeline; you showed no loyalty to them, being quite happy for the mother to just die, why on earth wouldn't they pay that in kind? The MC acts as if her thoughts are entirely logical and factual, whilst being quite bigoted and stupid honestly, but the isekai'd personality is completely unable to form a coherent argument against her beyond 'b-b-but, that's bad!', so the dynamic between them feels quite unsatisfying at the moment.

Edit - someone spoiled this for me in the comments of the first chapter, and I can't say I have much hope for the further developments, particularly between the MC's Split Personalities.
Maybe there's some changes between the manga and the WN, but if not, this may be one I have to drop, because this seems like an extremely unsatisfying revenge story; one where you actually want the MC to fail.

Looks like she's keeping to her ideals and revenge so far. Maybe it'll be the other way around and she'll convince A-ko over to her side instead of A-ko getting her to become "softer" like the usual talk-no-justu shit lol

 

[NoctyrneSAGA]

Nice to see an otherworld native calling out an isekai'd modern person trying to impose their ideals on others as if it's the most natural thing to do.

 

[FloorRoof]

She calls herself a victim of an intrigue, but from the looks of things she everything she could to be despised by others around her, and she's still surprised that nobody take her side.

Ty for picking up this series. Very happy to see a scanlator group working on it that won't paywall chapters for several months.
So for the initial premise seems interesting, with conflicting personalities and a combo regression/reincarnation scenario.
Those servants are wild, if she actually cared about her personal maid and her mother they would be doomed. Lucky for them the MC seems to not give a shit about the mom and actively hates the daughter.

mmmm clearly some "the one within the villainess" vibes.... still not feeling it honestly,.but at least curious....

Once you start throwing magic into the mix a class based society starts making more sense because of how different it is from our world. For example in ascendance of a bookworm only Nobles are capable of wielding mana and if a commoner is born with Mana it's slowly kills them. And Mana is absolutely necessary in enriching the Earth to allow crops to grow and to keep the water clean and the Animals healthy. If Nobles don't regularly enrich the Earth with their Mana it's slowly turns into a desert.

The trope Japan isekai MC strikes back.

Might not be a popular opinion, but I rather in favor for this SHREWD revenge act. Historical view, it takes a blue blood to takes another blue blood, any who stands on top will be pretty pissed if those in low caste, peasants, civilians, servants, are taking the social class status as a joke, in for execution if they don't know their social status.

The modern value born from the realization that there is no need for a RULER to force 100% authority on the masses openly, create an illusion of fairness and trial system to limit what common people can see or understand, while unconsciously serving the NATION of NOBLES, hiding behind a slogan of patriotism.
And this isekai girl truly fits with that.

You don't see a just genuinely evil villainess story very often. I'm a fan.

I'd argue that this particular kind of class based society doesn't make sense because there's too little upward/downward social mobility.

To give an example, let's say that A is the mediocre eldest son of a Duke, B is A's extremely talented illegitimate younger brother, and C is a similarly talented random commoner.

In the real world, the benefits that A gets from stuff like being the eldest son, having a powerful mom, being the default heir, etc., are enough that he can be significantly more powerful that B and definitely C.

In a world with magic B and C could potentially have magic powers that are useful enough to outweigh A's advantages.

If you don't adjust the system so that B can potentially inherit the Dukedom and C can potentially earn a title the Bs and Cs of the world are eventually going to rebel and tear the system apart.

it all depends on what kind of magic system of the setting. In ascendance of a bookworm children of nobles are hidden until they're 10 and once they're 10 they're baptized and whoever is the people attending their baptism are officially their parents so even if it's an illegitimate child no one except for the parents. And that said if commoners are born with magic it kills them.

That's a realist villainess for you.
