I'm going to give this series until chapter 10 to see if it can have some kind of a twist or a unique spin on the concept. Because so far this really is shaping up to be an pretty generic the villainess is good and the heroine is evil story.

These guys are Mobuseka levels of stupid. The country would have been so cooked in their hands that it breaks the story, because the original novel wouldn't make any sense. I think the only thing that slightly saves it is that in the original novel, as told in chapter 1, Aina was only aiming for the prince and not going for a harem.

Derpy AHHH Kween.

I think it matters not what the MC does, the narrative is already broken because Aina ain't gonna do anything apart from using her magic to get a harem, which I hope isn't the case because...

...it'd give more credence to drop the series.

 

[Rumor]

I mean, in terms of the original setting (and it being a game), the whole concept of a Saint FMC who does things as intended would theoretically work.

The most probable pair up would be tying the Saintess to the ruling family at the time (which is the Royal Family) so the pairing would be a prince of appropriate age to be paired with.

This breaks apart because the Saintess is another isekai normie who is more focused on getting railed by multiple guys than doing what she was summoned to do.

if it was just the Isekai Villainess that was around, there might even be a path where she might take in the Saintess herself. After all, someone with the ambitions for the Throne wouldn't be so foolish as to disregard what the Saintess could do and represent for this world's history.

I'll admit that it is all a bit generic at this point. Not that there is anything wrong with it, to be fair, not everyone is chomping at every single bit of Villainess work and could pick-and-choose which one they engage in. If people like it, they like it.

There is that undertone of morally grey/black that the Villainess will undoubtedly yield and is already a set character in her own right.

One can say that this work is more of a story about how the world around this Isekai Villainess would change because of her already fully established self than seeing the growth of the Isekai Villainess.

Would I keep reading this? Sure, I'm curious enough to see how others around her will be changed/react as she continues on her crusade.

Is this something that will be praised as something amazing? So far, no, there is nothing that makes it stand out absolutely.

It is not "The Best Thing Ever", but it doesn't have to be. It just needs to be the good old reliable and consumable thing that you can bite into without worry.

 

[Pyras]

.... The eyes....
Why does the queen appear so derpy :/

 

[Kuroku]

At first I was hoping the isekai girl was good aligned just confused and lost and actually a decent person for once, but then they threw in that one sneering side glance and I was like “alright she’s as useless as all the other “heroines” in these stories.”

 

[Psychronia]

Oh, her dad gave her credit after all?

 

[Goltuard]

Oh, her dad gave her credit after all?

Most likely the queen has her own intelligence network, considering the MC seemed surprised in that panel.

I think the only thing that slightly saves it is that in the original novel, as told in chapter 1, Aina was only aiming for the prince and not going for a harem.

Specifically, it was stated that Aina immediately jumped into her role as a Saintess and she and the prince naturally grew closer. This Aina is someone who's aware they're in a novel and just wants a harem. So the original story, while as unrealistic as most romance novels, wouldn't end up as bad as this reality would have without Cassandra being possessed

Yeah, it's "fine" so far. I think the defining trait will be how the author handles her "villainess actions." Currently it's going the "fun" route of she sees herself as self-serving, but is gaining a following of people she's helped/saved who see her as selfless. It's been done before, but usually it's more comical oriented where the villainess is so bad at being evil she's just a good person, so this is kind of different as she's actually ruthless and calculating but people who benefit from her actions see her in a good light.

 

[Seraphus]

I love her style; she slipped into the court etiquette, and seamlessly started gathering her allies, working the problem immediately like a goddamn professional, and cuting out every avenue of approach and/or attack that the saint might reasonably take to pin her down.

I think it's fuckin great, honestly.

Woman fucking does the work and the shit pays off? You love to see it.

And, lest I be misunderstood, remember that this MC, this Main Character, was chosen by the king and queen to become the future queen; this is basically a story about her proving then right.
... and I think that's cool, plainly.

 

[ARealCoolGuy]

An interesting thing about the heroine; so she too was isekai'd into the story she knew, as the heroine... but does that mean that the body she's in isn't her real body? After all, she's in a story where the heroine is a pre-established character. If the Villainess was isekai'd via possession, and she too was a pre-established character, isn't it likely the same for the heroine?

Though I doubt this will be addressed at all in the story, it's just an interesting thought.

MC also says the novel was "trashy". So i'd assume it wasn't very well written.
