Not really much of a romance. Basically a story of the FL bringing modern day marketing/sales techniques and dominating the market.

FL just does these kind of out of place things like randomly bursting into a meaningful, emotional speech or deciding to only give her father letters from his dead wife one at a time then telling him it’s to make it more exciting?! I’m surprised the father amuses it and even thanks her. Like it’s a meaningful gesture but…he really hated and despised her just a few seconds ago.

The ML is actually the RIZZLER. Like bro??? I love this ML

AND FL?? SHES A BADDIEEEE OMG HER INSULTS AND THE WAY SHE SHUTS PPL UP IS SO SATISFYING

About 100% cliche, but performed quite well and the art is good, rarely venturing into great.

Official translation isn't bad, and reaper are also okay.

It's a nice story, with an interesting approach compared to others in the same genre.

I only stopped because the translation is completely broken, and I don't like to have to guess what the sentence was.

reviewed @ch45 (season 1 end)
It's a little weird that their knowledge of mathematics is so poor amongst specialists but i guess the church did retard our own sciences by blindly believing everything aristotle and such said
it give a couple laughs, more smiles.
I wish it followed a couple less tropes, though. Like the 2 main males so far

Ahhhhh!!!!! I absolutely loved this manhwa. It was addicting, funny, and so charming. I’m in love with the fl and ml, they are both so intelligent and fun together!

I put this one down and then picked it up again after the ML came onto the scene. The FL is decent, but the first few chapters are pretty typical of what we’d see in this genre. The charm is in the ML’s interactions with the FL.

Every Villainess medium needs to be taken with a grain of salt to truly be enjoyed. And oh my god, I can't read this manhwa without a smile.
