This manga is definitely different from other villainess manga's for a few different reasons. One in the sense that our mc is reincarnated after she's already been labeled the villainess! Caught in a situation where she knows she's going to be killed if anything happens to her heroine sister she sets out to avoid death flags and keep her sister safe. Ilana the MC created this story in middle school self inserting herself as the heroine hoping one day she would be reincarnated and live her fairy tale dream. A very silly reverse haram over op dream where she's a hero adorned by all. Being that this story she is currently living was made while she was in middle school the characters, world, and scenarios can be non sensical at times and have frustrating logic but we are supposed to be okay with it because an 8th grader wrote the world this way. Which is where a lot of the "comedy" comes from while also giving backstories for why she created certain characters or scenarios ensuing.

While this manga is wanting to be considered a comedy it wants you to laugh at Ilana but personally I feel like it doesn't give her enough wins to where you can comfortably do so. I am up to volume 8 and this is the loneliest MCs I've ever read! Truly I don't believe it should be as sad as it is considering the genres listed. I really love Ilana as a female MC, she knows how everyone feels about her in this world and she doesn't fault anyone as its a story she wrote and she's doing everything she can to save herself and the others in this world!

Onto rating the manga overall it keeps me reading, The art style is pretty and the story is easy to follow. While I have my gripes with how MC is treated I keep reading hoping she does get her own happy ending and I hope to see it. One of the other genres listed is romance and while there are plenty of ikemen in this manga some tied to Ilana I have yet to read a clear romance plot line. You don't really root for anyone strongly based on how the men treat her in this world. ( In fact you might have a clear disdain to most of them!! ) While there's some developments if you strictly want a romance villainess manga there are far better ones out there at the time of my review. This manga gets a 7/10 higher in some places and lower than others. I hope more people read this and can share their thoughts!

After reading the 1st volume I really did enjoy it. The villainess Iana is trying her best to not only change people's view of her but also she's trying to avoid her own death flags since EVERYONE in the novel she wrote loves the female lead Konoha who is her older sister. The thing that keeps you wanting to read it is how she's going to avoid these death flags considering her change in personality is changing the story and giving her a bit of unwanted attention from her would-be assassin. The only thing that I don't like about this manga is the female lead of the novel the villainess wrote. She is a very needy character that is ENTIRELY ungrateful for her sister's sacrifices for her. A bit of a spoiler but Iana was injured trying to protect her but when Konoha's fiancee shows up she thanks him and not once did she really thank her sister and on top of that she has no issue showing off her relationship in front of her either. My issue with that is because Iana loves him in her own way considering she wrote him as a character of her ideal man and she wrote the entire novel with the idea of her reincarnating as a female lead. I'm going to keep reading this manga because Iana is my favorite character and the butler too but as of right now Konoha is my least favorite character. I hope that in the 2nd volume she at least acknowledges the fact that Iana is trying to protect her even though she's doing it to avoid triggering her own death flags.
