Now that Mangadex put a "villainess" tag, I think it's nice to debate which are the best ones. So I decide to make my own ranking based on the art (drawing quality), story, characters and enjoyment, divided on tiers. Feel free to talk about your favorites.

###S tier - Outstanding
*The Villainess Lives Twice: the BEST villainess of all.
*Endo and Kobayashi’s Live Commentary on the Villainess: unfortunatelly, there's no anime adaptation of this series yet. Every character of this series is good and Kobayashi's comments about what's happening is our reactions when we read the story. A must read one.
*The Reason Why Raeliana Ended Up at the Duke's Mansion: technically, it's not a villainess MC, but the other tropes are there. Good art and comedy, with interessing mistery.
*May I Please Ask You Just One Last Thing?: great MC, one of the best FL you can find. It's good to see the protagonist resolve things with violence.
*The World of Otome Games Is Tough for Mobs: You really want to see the MC beat the shit out of the other characters, you may think the story gets boring after his duel with the prince, but fortunately not. Queen is the best girl btw

###A tier - Great
*Koushaku Reijou no Tashinam: MC plays IRL Medieval SinCity
*Jishou Akuyaku Reijou na Konyakusha no Kansatsu Kiroku: Bakarina, but better, because there's no harem BS and Bertia is funnier. At the beginning, you may find the art odd, but you get use to it.
*Of Course, I'll Claim Palimony!: maybe the most "romcom". Yulia is the Uncle Scrooge of villainess.

###B tier - Good
*Though I May Be a Villainess, I'll Show You I Can Obtain Happiness!: some stories are good, some are weak and some deserves a serialization. It works because it's short.
*I'm an Opportunistic Princess in Charge of Solving Things: there's a lot of mistery going on in this series and it's nice to read.
*Survive as the Hero's Wife: the villainess series with the best drawning, the artist really put an effort to make that clothes, but the story is not that engaging and pretty boring sometimes. That empreress villain is a milf tho.
*The Duchess With an Empty Soul: nice summoner MC and good pairing with the ML.
*I Swear I Won’t Bother You Again!: I hope that MC makes her father suffer really bad at the future.
*The Evil Lady's Hero: it's spicy sometimes. It's like reading those mahnwas about a MC dating a CEO of some company.
*The Banished Villainess! Living the Leisurely Life of a Nun Making Revolutionary Church Food: if you want to see a romance story between the MC and a tough guy, this is the manga.

###C tier - Regular/Ok
*Bakarina: funny at the beginning, but gets dull letter. I you don't like Harem, don't pick to read. The spin-off series is better (for now).
*I'm a Villainous Daughter, so I'm going to keep the Last Boss: short story with a straightfoward MC.
*The Villainess Is Adored by the Crown Prince of the Neighboring Kingdom: very shoujo. Sometimes it's too dramatic.
*Yandere Otome Game: the art is simple and the story is okay.
*The Villainess' Slow Prison Life Began with Her Broken Engagement: it could be higher if the manga wasn't only 3 chapters. A smart and very beautiful MC, but I don't recommend if you are looking for romance, because there's only her "revenge" showing.
*The Villainess Falls for the Notorious Noble: it's stil in the beginning, but it's kinda promissing.
*The Most Heretical Last Boss Queen Who Will Become the Source of Tragedy Will Devote Herself for the Sake of the People: holy shit! Her former villainess characters was a really horrible person
*I Was Told to Relinquish My Fiancé to My Little Sister, and the Greatest Dragon Took a Liking to Me and Unbelievably Took Over the Kingdom: it's good, but I don't think the story will be like this latter.

###D tier - Weak
*For Certain Reasons, the Villainess Noble Lady Will Live Her Post-Engagement Annulment Life Freely: it's nice and that's all.
*The Daughter of the Albert House Wishes for Ruin: a less charismatic Bertia who got with her butler instead.
*Lady Rose Wants to Be a Commoner: she just wants to chill out, but for some reason every male capture target appears to bother her, only one of them is good.
*Villainess Level 99 ~I May Be the Hidden Boss but I'm Not the Demon Lord~: for someone who's OP af, she's very passive about things.
*I'll Become a Villainess That Will Go Down in History ― The More of a Villainess I Become, the More the Prince Will Dote on Me: only 2 chapters got released, but none of them makes you get hooked with the story.

###E tier - Mediocre
*Koukando ga Agaranai: nice art but the story is so forgettable. It ended at chapter 7 btw.
*I Became the Villain's Mother: I hope there won't have a love triangle between a father and his son. The MC is dumb.

###Not read yet

*When I Woke Up, Twenty Years Passed! ~The Villainous Daughter’s Afterlife~

This is very thorough, will definitely check out some of these!

To cover a few from your not-read-yet list:

###A Tier - Great:

* Beware of the Villainess: Hilarious, pokes ample fun at the typical kind of MLs of the genre, determined MC who's smart regarding everything except herself and the two characters interested in her

* The Villainess Reverses The Hourglass: MC is smart, thinks ahead and actively embraces her Villainess side making for a very interesting read ,with very pretty art and A+ fashion.

###B Tier - Good
* Virtues of the Villainess: There are many elements that keep the story interesting, from the premise to the reveals that have taken place so far. MC can be fun, when she isn't being a rabid ML fan

* Death is the Only Ending for The Villainess: It's early into the story, but has a very interesting premise and great art to boot. The MC has to work on surviving despite the fact that the main interests around her have a MC-favourability percent in the negative. Chapters tend to be quite short though

For me , To Be You, Even Just for a Day could be S/A tier.

Wish there are more available translated chapters to read.

Tbh I was actually waiting for the Villainess tag
I'm am legit planning to read everything but I've only read only a bit of all those.

"Outstanding" is a bit too much for me, so..

###A Tier - Great
*Beware of The Villainess! - Their faces are just really funny for me, AND usually their swears aren't censored

*Miss Not-So Sidekick - Just like the former, facial expressions make me laugh. She's just a minor villain, though.

*The Villainess Reverses The Hourglass - I LOVE seeing Aria humiliate Mielle.

*To Be You, Even Just For A Day - I first saw this when it was out on webtoon, this is THE genre I like.

I've also read about half (?) of your Not Read Yet list.
(some from above are repeated)
I would rank it (only those I've read) like...

###A Tier - Great
*Beware of the Villainess

*Death Is the Only Ending for the Villainess

*The Villainess Reverses the Hourglass

*To Be You, Even Just For A Day

###B Tier - Good

*IRIS - Lady with a Smartphone

*Virtues of the Villainess

*Beating The Heroine at Her Own Game (edit loll cuz ange is pissing me off)

###C Tier - Okay
*When I Woke Up, Twenty Years Passed! ~The Villainous Daughter’s Afterlife~

*The Plain and Unnoticeable Me Is No More

*I Am Troubled That My Fiancé Is A Villain

I actually liked Akuyaku Reijo nano de Last Boss wo Kattemimashita, I thought the MC was very proactive and driven aside from just wanting to survive
