Akuyaku Reijou to Akuyaku Reisoku ga, Deatte Koi ni Ochitanara - Vol. 2 Ch. 9

[Verypeeved]

At this point there's a lot of titles that I just blank out of mind because they're so long.

Kinda defeats the point of having a title.

Thank you for the release!

im liking the story so far, but are there any villainess manga where the heroine is a legit heroine like in bakarina? or at least not a cartoonish bitch and she serves like a foil to the villainess.

Although evil heroines are much more common, it isn't too hard to find alternatives. There's quite a few I can think of (no, I haven't read all of them —not completely anyway):

Spoiler: Examples of works with a good/not-evil OG heroine

• Akuyaku Reijou Level 99 - stupid OGFL
• Akuyaku Reijou no Shitsuji-sama
• Akuyaku Reijou no Tsuihougo! - misunderstanding OGFL
• Akuyaku Reijou no Yakuwari wa Oemashita
• Akuyaku Reijou tte Nani o Sureba Ii n Dakke?
• Akuyaku Reijou wa Kyou mo Karei ni Anyaku suru Tsuihougo mo oshi no Tame ni Akutou to Shite Shien Shimasu!
• Akuyaku Reijou, Brocon ni Job Change Shimasu
• Beware the Villainess!
• Father, I Don't Want to Get Married!
• Gyakkou Shita Akuyaku Reijou wa, Naze ka Maryoku wo Ushinattanode Shinsou no Reijou ni Narimasu
• Heroine Fuzai no Akuyaku Reijou wa Konyakuhaki Shite Wankokei Juusha to Toubou Suru - the OGMLs were crappy, so the heroine married [her childhood friend] before the plot began, leaving the villainess (engaged to the worst OGML) to her own devices
• I Raised an Obsessive Servant
• I Was Planning to Become a Loyal Sword
• I Was Seduced by the Sick Male Lead
• I'm No Heroine!
• Of All Things, I Became a Crow
• Rekishi ni Nokoru Akujo ni Naru zo - flowers-for-brains OGFL
• The Antagonist's Pet - OGFL is very, very, very human
• The Perfect Ending for the Villainess of a Fairytale
• The Villainess Is Shy in Receiving Affection
• Tsundere Akuyaku Reijou Liselotte to Jikkyou no Endo-kun to Kaisetsu no Kobayashi-san
• Yandere-kei Otomege no Sekai ni Tensei Shite Shimatta You desu

• Watashi wa Gotsugou Shugi na Kaiketsu Tantou no Oujo de Aru

In a similar spirit, there's Otome Game no Heroine de Saikyou Survival. It's from the perspective of the heroine… who, on finding out, opts to change her story's genre to something more cut-throat.

There are several I know of where the original heroine is not evil, but her body was hijacked/forcibly body-swapped (most of these are novels, though, so I'll end my listing stuff here).

Thanks for the recommendation dump and cheers for repping my favorite otome isekai ever! The FL has a child soldier mentality, which honestly makes sense. She was forced to grow up very quickly, mentally as well as physically (because magic). It makes for a deeply compelling read. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

You're welcome. I feel the same about Heroine Survival; that, apart from it being an example of a good OG!heroine, is why I included it.

If this Mc's has any relationship with her family when she get's control over her powers i will drop this because then it's just bad writing.

This is definitely gonna be the case. Probably the “both leads were actually childhood friends” trope.

Not spoiler, I haven’t read WN/LN/further chapters, just my instincts from reading an unhealthy amount of villainess stories. And this story falls under the “villainess story where the villainess is not even villainous” category. I’m actually not allowed to bet but I’ll wager my reader’s pride here

 

[Haishh]

The amount of recommendations here made me feel conflicted. I’m just about to move on from the villainess manga phase to slice of life cooking manga phase, but I’m stuck somewhere in between now

At least I found out that I’m not the only one, that made me feel better lmao

It's rather more complicated. First off, there's no original plot/timeline in which she's actually a villainess — it's just her reputation in society (you can thank Joseph for that).

Spoiler: As for your other predictions, in detail

Yuri was actually Bridget's first fiancé (it was broken off by their families on account of her only having a contract with a micro-spirit). They barely knew eachother, but Yuri was present when her father burnt her hand (so trauma on his end too). Not that she remembers until she's already fallen for him (and he for her). The effect of their having known eachother is mostly a huge amount of guilt and feeling helpless on Yuri's part, which Joseph milks for all it's worth.

As for her family, she never makes up with her father, nor does she want to — the Freudian excuse is no excuse, she's well aware.

Her mother is another matter, however, and she has never forgiven herself for not stopping her husband from burning Bridget. Moreover, Bridget misunderstood what she was saying (Japanese is a pro-drop language, so much so that her mother never actually stated what was bad or who was at fault — she was blaming herself, not Bridget). Additionally, her father never let her mother near Bridget after the incident, no matter how much her mother begged to see her, which quickly resulted in her becoming seriously depressed and developing ties with a malicious spirit (which is deadly), so that her mother could at least see Bridget in her dreams. Her father reacts to this in the worst way possible from a mental health-standpoint, which is to confine Bridget's mother to her room. On better days, she talks to the butler or her adoptive son, mostly about Bridget being such a wonderful, intelligent girl and such; on worse days, confusing dreams with reality, she refuses to let the servants light any fires, because Bridget is afraid of fire.

Bridget's adoptive brother is completely innocent and admires her (with a bit of mild sis-con in the mix; nothing creepy or romantic). The only reason he stayed away from her was to avoid making her situation worse. Additionally, while many people think that he nearly calls her "Red Fairy," he's actually just shyly trying to call her "Ane-sama" (a formal way to address one's elder sister in Japanese) — he can rarely get past the first syllable (which is the same for both, in Japanese). Later on, he helps her out quite a bit.

The web novel's resolution towards her parents was somewhat confusing — possibly giving the mother the same punishment as the father, despite the obvious differences in their actions and Bridget thinking that she wants to patch things up with her mother (not, as I said before, her father). Whether she does or not was left unresolved at the point the web novel left off (I hope the light novel and manga are better here; there are a few differences, so…). Her bother, on the other hand, she becomes close to.

Overall, it's less cliché than is typical, although the tropes are definitely still there.
