Empress #2
By the Sword: A World Conquest Isekai
In this follow-up to the hit isekai, a villain continues to find her power—and develop her sadism—even as she’s haunted by her ex-love.
Seventeen years after her rebirth into a magical medieval world, Everly Vae Balsar, the Empress, has made it. With her exceptionally potent earth magic and powers of spiritual manipulation, she stands poised to conquer a kingdom that lives in fear of her and her dangerous Carter the goblin assassin, the marauding General Grail, and her elementals, the sadistic Eris and ditzy Titania. She’s a villain and proud of it.
Well, she’s not a fan of cannibalistic monsters. Villainy is her domain, not the presumptuous Mister Whisper’s. But at the moment, Everly is experiencing something she’s never felt genuine regret over killing someone. Specifically, her mage maybe-love Fenneth.
As she reconnects with her conniving father and impetuous sister and continues to grow her power, Everly’s schemes slowly become more complex. But she’s still haunted by her actions—and maybe by Fenneth as well . . .
The second volume of the hit portal fantasy series—with more than 400,000 views on Royal Road—now available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible!

This is a fun adventure series. The villain is overpowered, and everything is over the type in that fun anime style way. The world, magic and fighting system are unique and interesting and I enjoyed exploring them.
I rated this four stars because it features a few side stories that the side characters created and I found them just confusing and pulling away from the main story.
