This was such a fun read. I’m in love with the Villainess follows the point of view of Rae Taylor who wakes up one day in the world of Revolution( her favourite video game) as the main character. During this fantasy romance game, the main character attends an elite school as a commoner who got a scholarship to attend, there the MC excels at magic, saves the school, and typically follows a romantic path that lets her choose between the three princes also attending the school. However our Rae doesn’t want the princes.. she wants her rival- the riveting Miss Claire.
Therefore Rae changes the outcome of the game as she does everything in her power to become attached or joined at hip to Miss Claire. Leading to some interesting game changes and the beginning( of what I hope is) a slow burn sapphic romance.
This is the first light novel I’ve read and I enjoyed it, for the most part. I think once I just accepted that not everything would be explained- like for example, how Rae transported into the game to begin with- the story flowed better for me.
Rae was hilarious and I loved how much she obsessed over Claire. Granted some may find it annoying but I couldn’t help but relate. I too, would probably declare love to my favourite character if I was sucked into a game and/or book I loved. Furthermore, Claire seems to thaw towards Rae throughout the book and I genuinely think there’s a chance of some feelings developing.
Overall- not a bad book. I probably would have rated this four stars if not for the weird plot twist at the end. However, I cannot wait to see what happens in the sequel.
Content Warnings: Incest (side characters), classism, homophobia, racism.

I would definitely recommend reading the manga of this series before reading this light novel. It’s good at adding extra depth and context to the manga.

A very cute novel that knows what it is and has a nice bit of meta manipulation to it, but it's derailed by a very needless incest romance.

J'aime globalement bien, mais je pense que l'histoire et le contexte auraient pu être mieux posés. C'est fun, mais ce n'est pas particulièrement engageant, ce qui est dommage car on peut voir le potentiel.
C'est difficile de s'attacher au personnage principal qui n'a absolument aucune profondeur. C'est vraiment bizarre qu'on ne parle pas du tout de sa vraie vie avant qu'elle ne se réveille dans le jeu. C'est comme si elle aussi n'était qu'un personnage secondaire de jeu vidéo. Le worldbuilding, même au sein du jeu, laisse franchement à désirer.
De plus, je n'apprécie pas du tout son côté pervers. C'est dommage et un peu bizarre de faire faire à un personnage féminin tout ce qu'on reproche aux personnages masculins dans les Shojo et autres, alors que personnellement (et je ne pense pas être là seule) c'est pour ne pas avoir affaire à ce genre de comportement que je me suis tournée vers un GL.
Mais l'histoire reste intéressante et j'ai espoir que ces détails s'améliorent et qu'on en sache plus sur le contexte, du jeu et de sa vraie vie, plus tard.

Not the most amazing first volume, but intriguing enough to make me keep going! Lots of hints about future developments that I can't wait for.
