You mean, like a revenge trope where the villainess is overly misunderstood or framed? Man, I like that too.
You should try "The One Within the Villainess" and "May I Ask for One Final Thing?". I haven't started the latter but I heard it's gonna have its own anime version.
In this, she technically was the villainess and wasn't self-aware. She just doesn't want to die
Oh... You don't want that transmigration or reincarnation trope, am I right?
Mee too, but still. This one is worth it!
She has a good personality and the plot is well set. She doesn't want to be a villainess because she simply isn't one. And, I like that she actually make an effort. Nowadays it's more common to find female protagonist that already knows everything or just learn to use a sword in two chapters. So it's kinda refreshing seeing her put her head to work
Ohh that just gave me a reason to read it.
Let me add: they're right that she isn't... Currently. But what she read in the book, she did try to kill the previous FL. You'll understand it once you read how she does turn into that villain (eventually, but not really)
Later, in the novel at least, we understand that she's not that kind of person. She wouldn't kill Maria
Just reading the tittle I have lost any desire to read , there's so many manhwa,manga and manhua that villainess but not act like one.
I like them to embrace that villainess and step all protagonists (▰˘◡˘▰)
