With Yumiella and Patrick’s wedding fast approaching, the fifth volume finds the loveable hidden boss back in the royal capital as she faces down wedding fitters and noble factions.
The latest instalment in the series is a vast improvement over the previous release, largely thanks to a dialling back of the main cast’s impression of Yumiella and a keen focus on fleshing out one of the series’ underdeveloped characters, Eleanora.
Usually brought in to make even Yumiella look smart, this latest series arc shows many new sides to Eleanora’s character. This begins as she travels with Yumiella to help with her wedding dress fitting. While out and about in the royal capital, the two end up at a perfume shop, which Eleanora has a close connection to.
Much to Yumiella’s surprise, Eleanora turns out to be rather an expert when it comes to fragrances. During her time as a member of high society, she’d used her expertise to recommend and test all sorts of different perfumes, and even now that she’s fallen from grace, the shop still pays for her services, as her recommendations often sell off the shelves like hotcakes.
As the story continues, the revelations about Eleanora keep coming. These take form when the main plot comes into focus as she enlists Yumiella’s help with saving the father of her dear friend, Dorothea. For Eleanora, this thorny path filled with scheming nobles and court politics challenges her usually unserious personality, where she is forced to fight, even against her beloved, to create a scenario where everyone can be happy.
For Yumiella, this latest arc finds her rather subdued. Considering the previous volumes, however, this is a good thing.
Her foray into the world of nobility allows her to develop new, overpowered abilities beyond the scope of her fighting power. Faced with an enemy that wins through warring with words, Yumiella unwittingly develops the ultimate weapon against their battlefield of facts and logic: confusion. Yumiella’s skewed perspective of common sense is what saves the day, as the two rival factions inevitably give up on their ambitions when they lose their way through Yumiella’s barrage of nonsense.
Overall, Villainess Level 99’s latest instalment brought the series back to the heights of its opening volumes. Pairing back Yumiella’s overpowered abilities allowed other characters within the series to shine and develop themselves into more than one-note comic relief. Moreover, the cutback to the series’ physical fighting allowed the protagonist to develop new angles of attack, which would send even the heartiest of debaters running for the hills. This volume is highly enjoyable and worth recommending.

It feels like the series really got back on track with this volume. The previous two volumes (especially volume 3) were almost too nonsensical.
Yumiella very nearly gets dragged into court politics (technically she does but she and Patrick manage to extricate themselves from the mess). The Minister of Finance, who is behind some of the shenanigans, gets a good lesson in the end that it is not wise to meddle with Yumiella.
I think next volume we will finally have the wedding of Yumiella and Patrick. I fear for Patrick’s sanity and safety on their wedding night.

Political twists
Yumiella Dolkness must deal with her upcoming wedding to Patrick. She doesn’t like the dress fitting or wearing the dress at all for that matter, until she sees herself in the mirror. In other news, a Count tries to retain his title, thrusting Yumiella straight into politics. How will she deal with the machinations of the Lord of Finance?

The Hidden Boss in Politics...Fun and Fright Follow
Yes, Yumiella is the perfect odd bod. Her logic astounds. Her desire for a Gundam suit stuns. And her her ability to help people...is actually sweet. Great volume for fans of the 99+ Level Leveling addict.

This volume read like filler. Almost nothing happens and Yumiella is getting more and more infuriating character flaws that she didn't used to have.
