Isn’t Being A Wicked Woman Much Better? Chapter 33 Discussion

As all readers know, the MC makes or breaks the entire novel. In the villainess isekai genre, I personally like a MC who is quick on her feet and proves condescending bastards wrong on a daily basis. Here's that MC.

MC does not thoughtlessly throw herself into situations and is instead rather calculating of her moves. Because of the terrible reputation that the owner of the body she's possessed left behind, MC constantly suffers from constant slander and misunderstandings.

Even so, MC plays the villainess role very well, without acting heartless and actively hurting others. It's more like she chooses to unleash her witty side and be a villainess to protect herself. I like that matter-of-fact side to her character. However, it still doesn't sit well with me how she never corrects others' negative speculations of her, but I think this will only make it even more satisfying later on when she proves everyone wrong.

The first person who notices and embraces her change is her father, and their relationship blossoms. It's refreshing to see how much effort MC has to put into appealing to her father and how quickly he warms up to her, rightfully so. The fluffy moments MC spends with him in the beginning make him seem like more than just a wallet, so I look forward to more father-daughter bonding scenes to come.

Although the author writes the original novel's FL and the "fish of her reverse harem" pretty stereotypically as annoying bastards, I like how the MC focuses more on exploiting the knowledge of the original story to her own advantage than on obsessively helping or avoiding all the original story's characters. Even when she does inevitably encounter some unfavorable situations involving them, she doesn't back down and handles them elegantly and indifferently like an absolute queen. MC's level of independence is incredibly attractive, so much so that the ML and I have fallen for her for that very trait.

The romance aspect is not as developed as the MC's character in my opinion, but it's a work in progress. The ML is overpowered and like MC's knight in shining armor. Yet, with the way the author has written their relationship, the pair stand on the same level as partners, and I appreciate the mutual respect they have for each other.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading each and every chapter of this novel so far, and I'm excited to find out how her relationship with her family and the ML progress in future chapters.
