I'm the Villainess, So I'm Taming the Final Boss

first time writing a review; overall simple, short and sweet which didn't drag on unnecessarily. 1. story - 8/10 easy to follow and had pretty good build ups to the climax points. of course, some things weren't fully fleshed out given the length of it 2. art - 10/10 beautiful character designs, settings and art style that made it very pleasing to read. it also wasn't hard to distinguish between characters and very clear who was who 3. characters - 8/10 wish that the relationships between the characters could have been developed more - especially the romance portion 4. enjoyment - 10/10 for the length and ease to follow;definitely recommend for anyone to pick it up and give it a read!

While it is a cute story, it's just a little too short to really flesh out any of the characters properly or make the romance feel like it progressed naturally. The title was very promising but it didn't feel like it really lived up to it because the romance aspect of the story felt very sparse in comparison to the more villainess-y side of the plot, however both sides of the plot felt slightly lackluster because of the lack of depth to anything really. I think the idea for this is great and there are parts I enjoyed (all spoilers though lol) but I thinkthat the length prevented this from really shining the way it could have had it been a bit longer. It is very charming though, and I recommend it if you're less into the romance side of 'villainess' manga.

Story 7/10 + isekai, teen girl, awakening as the villainess of a game, conquering the villain which is also a target for the protagonist, romance, fantasy, demon king, holy maiden with a holy sword, demons, politics, aristocracy, strong and short impact due to 3 volumes, cute extra chapters at the end. - the story is a bit rushed and some twist and turns don't get completely worked out, and I might have done with a bigger development of the romantic side of things as well. Art 10/10 + Beautiful design of characters, each with very distinct features. Nicely detailed as well, I particularily enjoyed the way ofshadowing in the face, interchanged with some comic chibi's. The artwork also has a nice flow and movement, as I am always baffled how hair can be drawn as being so alive and fluffy. - Nothing to improve here! Characters 9/10 + Characters have their own motivation and I absolutely love how the Demon King's feelings are linked with the weather and flowers. The way the antagonist's (or, in the game's set-up, the protagonist) character develops is quite unique as well and really gives the story a 180° turn. For the short length of 3 volumes I find most characters are going through their own developments quite splendidly, including some side characters. - Somehow, Aileen, our protagonist waking up as a villainess, falls a bit flat: I had some trouble connecting with her motivations and how her feelings develop. Perhaps it's me, though, or again the shortness of the story. Some side characters their development is minimal - some more than others though so the more lovable ones you will still see flowering into bloom as the story evolves. Enjoyment 10/10 + Many moe-moments for those who like their target of the romance to be a bad-boy-who-actually-is-really-kind, the story is also quite fun even though there are plenty such isekai stories nowadays. If you can put the rushed story aside, it's a real fun read for in-between. I actually find it a good point that it's short as well, as other stories tend to milk it out a bit if you know what I mean. ~ Overall of 9 which is only basically due to the puzzle pieces being slammed together so you can't really enjoy the development of the death flags being overcome or the new turns and twists sprouting from overcoming those flags. Though this is only because quite a lot of happenings are crammed into 3 volumes. The extra chapters at the end make up for it though. The romance is cute and quite innocent, though it fits with the ages of our characters. This read is really a perfect go-betweener if you want a little fuzzy feeling before going to sleep or don't want to invest in (1) unfinished stories and (2) isekai romance genres milking out their twist and turns.
