Hmmm… that story arc is resolved and it seems like maybe a secondary love interest? But it’s clear the first guy is the winner already? Not sure where the second volume can even go from here. I’m interested to see it, but don’t have high hopes. 4, this could easily be a standalone, stars. This entire review has been hidden …

In her first life, Claudia was a stereotypical foolish villainess who allowed herself to be manipulated by a deceptively sweet "heroine" into losing everything. She landed in a brothel, where she watched her best friend die from a sexually transmitted disease. On her friend's grave, she begged for a chance to redo everything so that she could save her. That's …

I don’t know why but I just love these kinds of stories. I hope Claudia and the others can work out whatever challenge is going to face them next. Fermina was awful. I don’t want them to suffer more than they already have.

Nice Villainess light novel. I loved the angle of her past life of working at a brothel. I love Helen's relationship with Claudia. I also love Claudia's relationship with the prince and Louis. I love Claudia being a bisexual queen. The prince realizing he has to worry about men and women hilarious.

4 stars for the LN, 3 stars for the Manga Manga (in English) was not listed yet at gr. I thought both were worth reading.

I'm a bit of a sucker for "Villainess" light novels and animes and this one looked interesting enough for me to give a try to. Was it groundbreaking? absolutely not. Was it enjoyable? yeah. So this one has kind of a standard plot. villainess meets a horrible end, goes back in her own time and tries to stop her bad …

**Good solid read!** I really enjoy the manga, and due to confusion but volume two of the light novels instead of volume two of the manga, which isn't out yet. So I had to get volume 1 and read it. What a happy accident! There's so much more in Volume 1 that was left out of the manga adaption that …

She wants to be the ultimate villain but does absolutely nothing Villainous. She's completely passive... not even ONE scheme. I wasn't really rooting for her and the prince at all - didn't care very much. Also two things in this book made me super uncomfortable. 1) she's 16. Why do we keep talking about her "sensual body", breasts and libido …

Honestly kind of a let down. The premise was interesting: betrayed noble lady lives a life as a prostitute and is given a second chance at life to use her experiences to seek revenge! Except… her “revenge” was essentially just not being a brat then hiding behind others while allowing her sister to act as she pleases. Her revenge was …

Misleading title in that her “evil” plan mostly consists of being a really proper lady so no one has fodder to use against her. Also, her first life she was careless/spoiled/etc rather than misunderstood and the real villain is unhinged rather than clever which leads to the vibe that the only way anyone wins in this is to put the …

This book suffers the same issue as many other similar light novels in that the main love interest sucks so hard. The only thing he has going for him is his looks, but he's a total douche and creeper otherwise. I don't understand why these losers are so often set up to be the main love interest. He's not quite …

A well done story and an amazing take on the regression story. Never seen a sex worker be sent back in time quite like this. The villain felt a little anticlimactic, but she did for our fml as well. That made it feel very intentional and well balanced. I do think the last few chapters felt very out of order. …

The second the villainess returns back time, she's already winning againts the heroine, everyone is on her side, everyone also knows that the heroine is evil and manipulative (in the stupidest kind of way) the whole story is pretty much like that, really wish the story tried to do more. Suppose I'm just too old and bitter and my brains …

I adored this… in a sense. The premise is fantastic and there is nothing really wrong. Nothing problematic. However, I wanted \*more\* from this story. The main character is so fascinating as a noblewoman turned Sex worker. However, despite the author routinely saying she has skills of a sex worker, we never see it. She just kind of exists passively …

goodreads understands me so well. this showed up in the 'readers also enjoyed' section of accomplishments of a duke's daughter and whaddaya know, as a certified villainess enjoyer i DID enjoy this. i'm already fond of the high competence genre of villainess wish fulfillment and pairing that with genuine character growth for our girl? yeah, i'm about it also it …

It’s interesting how she made being a courtesan into a positive aspect about herself and didn’t wither away once she unwillingly became one. Also, she made her second chance her b\*tch. She kicked butt the second time around, so much so that it was embarrassing that she lost the first time! (\*•̀ᴗ•́\*)و ̑̑

Good book, although I don't think it matches the title. She doesn't become a villain. In fact, she fixes all of the relationships and problems from her first try at life and just out wholesomes and wins more trust than the antagonist. The author liked to throw in every once in a while how she vowed to be cone the …

Interesting idea but not sure if it’s writing or the way I didn’t get into Claudia’s character, that won’t have me picking up the next one
