one of the best fat characters I read, yes her goal is to lose weight but its not the forefront of the story or done in a time skip. So we get to see an overweight character lead the story so far, and she is gaining friends and respect now instead of after her weight loss and its really refreshing in that regard.
(also the artist is pretty good at drawing overweight characters, like she is drawn with rolls (without corset) instead of just a round belly)

I really like the MC's concept, it's not something nonsense like sudden body goal overnight or sudden plastic surgery and glowing silky hair.
It's still early (c12) but the way she kept eating sweets whenever she's thinking about what to do and what happened are pretty pissed me off. Those maid and father knew she's trying to lose weight but kept serving sweet to her, and she didn't strictly rejected it and ate some, not little. In addition, Idk what kind of prince is that, jack all of trades? At least he shouldn't directly involve into being beaten just to pick some information (or does he not have an excellent subordinate? Also said "your highness" why there's no codename? I really believe it's all for sake of first meeting and impression of ML towards MC)
The story isn't bad tho

@RimuruXD:
The pedant in me is compelled to point out that this is an isekai—and indeed, not a "villainess" story. The point of which goes slightly beyond the mere pedantry: This is pretty much precisely the isekai-ish self-insert genre that is shoujo's equivalent to shounen's video-game nonsense.
To the literal question of "why" these are everywhere: I've always assumed it's the by-product of everything being web-novel based now. Web-novel authors for instance usually don't have editors to say: "No, the market for that is really saturated already, why not try something else"; instead everyone copies each other freely, and a lot of them are completely lost by the wayside (but at no cost to the publisher), and the ones that do rise to the top (which is kind of a lowest-common-denominator-appeal thing to some extent) end up getting additional forms of media. Thus, all this *gestures broadly*.

The corollary is that most of them are, although never to be mistaken for a masterpiece, actually pretty enjoyable—if they're one's cup of tea—even as one starts not being able to remember the differences between them and they all blur together... The uninteresting ones usually don't survive this far. And so it's not necessarily unprofitable, despite the saturation. So why stop making them?
I'm not saying they have any literary merit, of course (though some do, but it's obvious that that... hasn't been the key to success in these genres). The key components of these sub-genres are being easy to write, easy to digest, and also prone to produce relatively interesting results even when the writing gets sloppy. XD
