The Villainess and the Demon Knight (Light Novel) Vol. 2

by Nekota, Asahiko (illustrator)

SLAY OR BE SLAIN

Fate sure likes to keep Cecilia on her toes. After being reincarnated as a doomed villainess in an otome game, she was sent to work in the brothels only to be saved by Lucas, the captain of the knights and second-in-line to the throne. But duty calls when an ancient dragon appears and Lucas—the kingdom’s hero and sole wielder of the legendary sword Eckesachs—is called to save their kingdom from calamity. To make matters worse, Cecilia learns that every hero who has faced an ancient dragon in the past has been slain! Nevertheless, Lucas departs for battle with a promise that they will wed upon his return. But does fate intend to send him to the altar…or the grave?

[Bethany · Rating 3 out of 5]

Whilst the previous book was an erotica with very little plot and a lot of sex scenes (I like that it knew what it was and embraced it (even with a 50-60 page long sex scene at the beginning of that book). This book tries to tell a story (which was flawed and mediocre). The story felt slow and rushed at the same time (especially with the Fenrir and then the dragon scene). The amnesia subplot is barely 40 pages long (even though it could've been the majority of the 2nd half). Quickly scrapped and felt like pointless filler to try and add stakes. Felt like the mediocre Yaoi novels Juné published in the 2000s.

Hopefully the 3rd book will return to it's erotica roots, as that's what this series does best.
