ya know, something irks me about this, its like theres something stuck on my throat that i cant figure out whats annoying me. maybe its because so far we get to see Villainess played by good people that showing something like Ice cold villainess mades me irritated lmao. its not bad per se, its just i cant explain it.
the story is rudimentary and only of limited development even in this third revision.
contrast against The One Within the Villainess where you have Remi getting revenge for the death of her lesbian crush Emi, or Heroine Survival where Alicia Melrose/Aria Ironrose gets stabbed with The Plot and decides shes going to murder Joseph Campbell, or Slow Prison Life where Rachel tortures her Fiancée, arranges the king is out of the capital for several months, and inflicts (moslty) punishment on her fiancee's cronies, and ultimate gets to enslave the protagonist for spanking.
Serina is interesting, but compared against a proper Revenge Hero, a pure villain protagonist, or the Lesbian Super-Saiyan Princess Kratos (who should be contrasted against 7th time loop's Riche aka Princess Doomslayer), shes significantly less. Serina rarely has to resolve problems using her skillset as a politician or politician by alternative means. Conversely Alicia/Aria is always learning something new for being The Second War Demon, Riche is always scheming some way to stop Darth Napoleon from destroying the world, Rachel is always 5 steps ahead of anyone else or doing something completely absurd, and Remi is orchestrating a 9-queen checkmate against her ex.
