I'm in Love with the Villainess - Ch. 49 - Pursuit

[SrNevik]

Oh shit I didn’t realize that we were that close. We’re going to be eating good for a while

Right. This is the home stretch. I only wonder if the manga will continue after this next major arc. There's a clear stopping point if it decides to take it. I don't think they've said anything about covering all 5 books. I've always assumed we'd cover the first 2 and the epilogues.

 

[VillxKomari]

I like how Rod is actually a bro unlike how he is in the novels. Also damn the glow up on Lily.

 

[TanyaTheEvil]

This manga is one of the best. I read all the novels and we are in for a treat. Thanks for the translation

Lilly would have had a better chance with Rae if she had used her alternate personality look from the start.

 

[Ooshi_Somen]

earlier didnt rae say that lilly was a super minor side character in the game?
why is she suddenly a main threat than?

 

[MangaRockRefugee]

Man, magic breakers are such a problem in this reality that I start to wonder why isn't Rae going for more physical one-trick ponies.
Sure, AltLily can stop a magic spell like it's nothing, but can she stop a flashbang to the face?
Followed by generous application of pepper spray?

 

[shinshom]

wait... did Thane show up on the novel at this moment? I dont remember but damn this whole chapter felt way cooler than the novel ngl.

Nah she was doomed regardless, Rae is Clairesexual but she would look cool though.

 

[b58]

Well, I don't like this, another complete ass pull. If you go for the most contrived turn of events every time, then it's just simply a bunch of nonsense, not a clever story.

Actually... Yes she can.

 

[Raptorofwar]

I need Lilly to stab me.

 

[MangaRockRefugee]

Actually... Yes she can.

Really?
Whelp, time to crack out a Demon Core

No. But

Spoiler

this also isn't the whole fight. In the light novel there's a bit of combat and then Alter pulls out an mp pot. But because Alter can use time magic the mp pot gets restored. It's something of a stalemate because Alter can't protect Salas and really attack anyone and then the volcano finally erupts. Salas and Alter get away but unfortunately there's people that die in the eruption.

Tbf Rod's a good guy when his head's not up his ass but Rae's a super biased narrator.

I wanna believe we have a decent chance. A couple of long term stories in Yuri Hime are in hiatus or finally finishing up so they might keep ILTV going just so there's another anchor. Not to mention that recent chapters have been taking their time to breath instead of being pushed out at one chapter per volume.

They really had us novel readers for a second with the Thane lookalike. I guess it all fits back together in the end.
I do think that once this is all over Rae owes Lily an apology for acting this way towards her, although I don't think it's reasonable for her to have predicted the split personality thing either.

having Lily genderswap breaks later events. Also having the trigger phrase be Lord have Mercy but Lily and the church are never handled correctly at all.

Spoiler

It'll likely be next chapter to end the volume on and then next volume is the revolution or part 1 of the revolution

Revolution is in like, 3-5 issues. There are some Burning Rocks falling atm.

Gotta be real, I really hate the "multiple personalities" trope. It always just feels so cheap.

meet half the reason i think Lily is competing for the worst character in the story alongside the Pope, Silas (who ironically is the only one who sucks because hes actually a PoS), and The Yandere.

earlier didnt rae say that lilly was a super minor side character in the game?

because Lily was literally an unplanned throwaway character for the author to bitch about the Japanese LGBT community who they kept around for romance tropes and they welded the Nur Agent to her. the Mask isnt even a thing in the books.

Because this isn't just a game world anymore and many things happen that aren't expected. The Masked person has always been an anomaly that Rae couldn't understand right from the start. They didn't appear in the game--Rae said as much when she saw them the first time.

But the sole fact that Thane is there imo makes it better. Manga is developing Thane way more than the Novel ever hoped for.... \o/

 

[KZO]

I wonder if Rae will be pissed off she was saved by a dude, considering she avoided that last time.

Wait what? I still can't believe how much this manga has advanced, I remember reading the novel and feeling those arcs were so far away

 

[helotaku]

Especially as Claire was blushing while looking at him in the last panel...

 

[Rafalga]

Regardless of the outcome, lilly WILL come out of this heavily traumatized after learning what she did when she was not herself. I can't see her forgiving herself.
