An Incompetent Woman Wants to Be a Villainess: The Young Lady Who Married as a Substitute for Her Half-Sister Didn't Notice the Duke's Doting - Vol. …

[Runnick]

She was thinking about 3D Chess and how to avoid a blunder, meanwhile he used 5D Chess en-passant and faked a loss so he could give her the seal. Holy hell.

They really couldnt make a more obvious cherkov seal...

I saw the title and read the chapters in one go

I don't know how to feel about this series. It's definitely not bad, pretty good even. I think i got very used to the usual villainess revenge trope that the way Avril acts really weirded me out. She is a super cute and nice girl without any villainess traits. I was expecting to her to try to get back at her sister and family but i guess they will be punished by their own doing eventually while she's just doing her own stuff

I came from a bit of a similar background. I can kind if get where she's coming from. She never  knew that how she was treated was wrong. So things like cold food, general negative attitudes, and so on are just normal.

shes never known love since her mother died. So she just believes that what she experiences is just how things are. And even if it was anything else, she would assume that it's other people acting strange.

I...kind of get that tbh.

wonder how soon we'll get to see the seal play a role in the story

Thanks for the chapter.

Thank you for the translation! I am in awe at how high our beloved retard villaness is managing to fail upward.

I wonder whether Avril really won the chess game or the prince intentionally loose...

We keep seeing panels with glances of the prince's face as they play, and he looks dead serious playing with her

I was always told "there's a thin line between genius and stupidity" and i think that's true considering i can't fathom the fact how she concluded that knowing how to play chess will make her villainess status diminish lmaooooo she literally fucking jumped the gun with that one

Would've been funny if she says YABAI in the future anime adaptation if it actually happens lmao

Foreshadowing that the seal will be stolen

I feel like the plot where she has to pretend to be a villainess is starting to get old... like, couldn't the ML just admit he likes her and accept her as a proper wife already??? Couldn't we just watch people learn to appreciate her without that "I'm a villainess" thing????
