Another villainess going for another option, in this case becoming the OP adventurer. The holy beast was cute, although I preferred the harmonious family, especially how protective the brother was. Kinda his fault Seri was put in the eyes of the prince, bouncing to her as soon as he lost on purpose. The other prince seems like trouble.

I knew this seemed familiar - I read the light novel. It’s really hard to distinguish between the many, many similar storylines. This volume didn’t cover as much as the first volume of the novel, and left out at least some of the detail that made it eye-rolling. This is still kinda silly, but not nearly as bad. She’s OP and you still have a lot of ridiculous situations, but it’s more palatable in this form. The romance isn’t promising since the probable ML locks in on her when she’s 6. There’s another potential but he was introduced early and left unmentioned after that.

It’s not unique in any particular way. Full of tropes, art is cute but standard…

This is the kind of cute fluff that you enjoy while reading but forget right afterwards. Now that I'm adding it here 3 months later I have no idea of what this manga was about or how to rate it. All I remember is that while reading I got a strong sense of déjà vu. So basically it was so forgettable that I've forgotten it twice /ᐠ｡ꞈ｡ᐟ\!!

I love this version of an isekai! Always trying to change the fate of the supposed villain. I loved to see Serephione wanting to go a route that is more adventuring and sword fighting than magic based so she could avoid the Heroine. The true bond she did with Lou rather than forcing it - I hope this has the change it deserves!

Enjoyable

Its another Isekai story ,yes. But the story is different enough than many I read so far. The art is sweet and well done with dome funny moments.
I am curious about reading more and so far encourage reading it.

Intentionally fluffy. Generic plot but solid for a set up volume.
