While I like the cast, I think the soft approach to the "mistaken villainess" hook doesn't have much going for it and our main girl is starting to look a bit too doofy. I've read too many angsty manwha recently, seeing a character come from an abusive environment who is so dense and good-natured that they don't even have trauma feels strange.

Inverse reverse bullying???

"Fufu, that's an adult matter."
And maybe when you grow up you'll realise what you're saying.

Chris to the rescue.

Call her a "cunning villainess", and she'll act like one.

"I have a good memory."
Bit of an understatement, there.

"I wouldn't be happy about that."
It would be more convincing if you weren't ecstatic about it before. And capable of lying.

I love these "villain(es)" stories where they actually "try" to do villainous things but just comes of as helpfully blunt at worst and saintly kind at best, while being proud of how villainous they are :ROFLMAO:
I like these too, but sometimes I like to read about actually villainous villainesses.

It's been getting so sweet that I'm starting to get scared when the bad things will come like what that maid said

I'm just reminded of "I'll be a Villainess who goes down in History" with that. adorkable and misses the point most of the time, tho outright eager to jump at any opportunity to clash with the "heroine"

Look at our villainess go. From restricting the proliferation of educational material to taking job opportunities from ducal secretaries to defrauding the royal family Avril is quickly becoming one of the most dastardly, wicked women in all fiction.

Even then, she's not dense or ignorant or anything. In fact, she legit is kind of an asshole, even if she's helpful. She's just very very direct about things and brooks no nonsense.

Oh absolutely she's not dense/ignorant. She's quite the realist in fact who knows how the world really works. I'm just saying that she w/o a doubt is also quite entertainingly dorky about it and her pursuit of pragmatic villainy sometimes winds up being... less than villainous to put it mildly, in some of the situations she's been thrown into.
