I’m the Villainess, So I’m Taming the Final Boss, Vol. 1 (I'm the Villainess, So I'm Taming the Final Boss (Manga))

Product Information

Overall (this is a very biased opinion, because I really loved the manga) this is a fun ride, I do think that it is re-readable and if you don't take it too seriously I think you'll like it. I really enjoyed the overall cast, though that plot twist had me like "ummmm…" Yeah, definitely NOT liking that one character! :p But I am hyped for volume two!

V01: was a pretty fun book! I mean, yes it was pretty cliche for the genre but the ML was adorable and the FL was competent and the world was interesting enough so I was filled with good feelings.The depth of this show is lesser than the depth of my carpet. No character development whatsoever, the only exception I can maybe think of is Keith; the demon lord's right hand man, and Levi but they are both side characters and their arcs only last 1 episode. Otherwise if there is "development" it isn't really development, it is just a random and inexplicable shift in a character's attitude, see-> the demon lord during the third arc, or prince Cedric in the final episode. The character with the most interesting concept was probably Lillia, and her motivations absolutely deserved exploration, but no, nothing. Don't expect anything in the realm of high quality writing, you will inevitably be disappointed. The plot is quite simple: the protagonist, as a classic Issekai scenario is supposed to be, finds herself in the world of a video game, where she finds herself in the role of a villain whose destiny is death. The task is clear: to change the plot of the game by defeating the final boss...with her love. Romance, though. I’m pleased with Aileen’s character development as a “villainess.” She really turned out not only to be so lovable but also a competent and intelligent woman. It was no wonder that so many of my favorite scenes throughout the series, but especially in this volume, were of her epically one-upping Lelia, the so-called heroine who turned out to be the real villainess. The more and more the story progressed, the more unstable Lelia became. Soon she was pushing for Aileen’s death and a more reverse harem ending for herself, forsaking all the good Aileen, Claude, and the others had done for the kingdom. Esta historia me gusta mucho y en Octubre de este año saldrá el anime, ¡así que no puedo esperar! Los personajes son cliché en este género: la villana que no quiere ser la villana, el protagonista de la historia enamorado de la chica buena y la chica buena que no es lo que uno piensa; sin embargo, tiene sus bocanadas de aire fresco y originalidad, sobre todo si no es un género al que se está acostumbrado a leer. No se lo pueden perder~

The art is beautiful. Not exactly the height of manga art, but still, cute and serious at times, I liked it. So. Yes, this is similar in structure to other books in the genre, but it does a good job of being distinct and OMG the hero is just PERFECT. Highly recommended if you are interested in this genre. I’ve started a new manga series again. I’m convinced that summer is the season of manga for me, seeing as I’m lagging when it comes to reading novels. The good thing is there’s only one book out for this one. It’s a good thing because I don’t have a bunch of books to catch up on, but it’s also a terrible thing because now I’m left on a cliffhanger. I know this is having an anime soon, so my only choice is to wait for that to air… The characters are not necessarily unique, we've already seen those typologies over and over again, but the author manages to give their own twist and the result is a colorful (even though Coming off the energy of the second volume, I’m the Villainess, So I’m Taming the Final Boss Volume 3 was my most anticipated manga from Yen Press this month. For such a short series of just three volumes, the creative team has done a great job making readers fall in love with these characters while also providing plenty of laughs.I will not forgive V03 for that horribly conceived attempted rape scene. It mutilates characters, emphasizes purity culture, and the perp gets away with it with barely a slap on the wrist. Also, this is the point where the ship started making less sense to me because there were too many heightened emotions and it does not fit with how little they actually know each other.

It is my book version of dark chocolate. I have an affinity for the "otome isekai villainess" genre, where the MC h is a contemporary Japanese female, usually teen to young adult, who is whisked away to a usually fantasy type European style world that the protagonist realizes is based off of an otome game that she played when she was in Japan and that she is now the villainess of the game and is trying to avoid the "death flags" so she survives to a ripe old age, rather than to be used as the stepping stone for the "heroine" to have her "happy" ending.
