Hmm, looks like they completely changed Aina's personality compared to the WN.
She wasn't even that much in the focus there, but from what i remember she was portrayed more like a nice and timid girl who is confused with this whole situation, not this generic "i'm the heroine, everyone should love me" type of villain we see all the time in this genre.

It's always a little strange when the heroine, a character who is already written to be isekai'd into the world and has a predefined personality, is seemingly a different character. If their personality is different, why are they in a world that per-ordained what kind of person and character they are? Are they also possessed by another reincarnated soul, which seems to allow one to break from their fated action? If that isn't the case, then the pre-established story that the villainess is trying to defy doesn't matter in the slightest, because fate has seemingly already changed before they reincarnated anyway (since the heroine should be a legitimately good person, but isn't). :thonk:

With the chess imagery on both the last page and manga cover, this gives me hope that this will be the deathnote of villainess otome mangas. But I don't think it will :meguuusad:

By the way, anyone know any really good mystery or thriller mangas that feature a reincarnated villainess or "oh-ho-ho-ho-ho" ojou-sama?

Really? The WN sounds better

This was the 1st big change that i noticed... I think she didn't even crash this tea party in the WN, it was just FMC and the Queen there. I might be wrong, but i don't think so given that i still remember Aina's fate. Guess that's also gonna change, the original wouldn't make sense if she was "evil"...

As for the WN, i wrote the whole plot in detail on a previous ch, check it out if you're interested.

A country covering medical costs for its citizens is nice, but that's really more of a systemic thing for politicians to work out.

Applying it to your position as a saint feels like promising something you really can't realistically do? Is she going to single-handedly heal an entire kingdom of disease? For distant villagers too?

Even assuming she learned some "Heal Town" sort of AOE spell, she's basically committing to circling around the entire country constantly for the rest of her life, isn't she?

Would be more interesting to see an actually innocent "heroine"...we're so saturated with white lotuses that it gets boring :(

Okay so I speed read the WN you linked in an earlier chapter. I can see why they are making major changes to the characters in the manga but it doesn't make the story any better. Frankly, the WN isn't very good and not deserving of an adaptation.

So, isn't healing everyone literally the sole reason she was summoned? Why is everyone acting like she's saying something unique and novel? The kingdom is facing an epidemic, and they summoned a saintess to fight it.

Less healing everyone, and more preventing the collapse of society. Think covid or the black plague levels of infection without the ability to vaccinate or effectively treat their symptoms.

Having a healer of that potency means that you can send her in and turn what should have been a complete wipe into a horrible but still recoverable situation.

I have doubts the original game involved romance amid the mass deaths of a "horrible but still recoverable situation" unless it was a much darker game than seemingly implied. Chapter 2 also says that when a Saint is summoned they "resolve" situations like epidemics, famines, and monsters, which sounds like they're doing more than just blunting the harm of such events.

O . o;
It's a Japanese otome setting. The famine and monster issues are likely more lack of crop rotation, administration, or neglect which would be solved thrue minigames, a light combat system, and or even just dialogue as the FMC led the prince and his cohort to the effected area and batting her eyes at the big strong men trying to impress her.

As for the plague that the game FMC was ment to solve, in game it wiped out a large portion of the story protagonist's territory including a good portion of the noble's house before the FMC stepped in to fix the issue. So it doesn't necessarily need to be all that dark if it mostly happens in the background and all the player sees is a few dialogue scenes and minigames.
