El punto más sobresaliente sin duda se lo lleva su arte, los dibujos son muy bonitos, en especial de la protagonista; en cuento a historia es similar a otras, solo cambiando pequeños detalles que la identifican, como el hecho que aquí si se puede mejorar la relación paterna.

The Manhwa ⊹₊⟡⋆:


AHHHHHHHHHHHHHGGGG THE FEELSSSSSS ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ٨ـ♡ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ٨ـ

⋆˚࿔ Reasons to Read It ⋆˚࿔:

╰┈➤The Female Lead:𓆩❤︎𓆪𓆩❤︎𓆪𓆩❤︎𓆪


╰┈➤The Male Lead: 💋ྀིྀི




╰┈➤and the power couple they make... (˶˃ ᵕ ˂˶)




also...

╰┈➤ It has a pretty basic premise. A doormat gets transmigrated into the body of a villainess, turns into a girlboss, and uses modern knowledge to invent things and make money, BUT execution really is key here. Instead of following the doomed script of her character, our protagonist uses her wit and charm to turn the tables in her favor. Instead of focusing solely on romance, the story emphasizes self-reinvention, personal growth, and taking control of one’s destiny. Instead of having a silver plate, our female lead gains her glory one step at a time. Plus, there’s absolutely no ridiculous guilt for messing with the original plot. Probably the coolest thing ever is how FL heavily utilizes the fact she was isekai-ed from another world instead of it being a gratuitous detail! ( ≧ᗜ≦)

╰┈➤The story feels so real but at the same time the comedic elements are really top-notch, with sharp dialogue.

╰┈➤ The protagonist, our Female Lead, is the standout of the story. She’s clever, confident, and unapologetically bold, making her a refreshing departure from the typical damsel or passive villainess archetype. Her schemes and interactions are not only strategic but also hilariously over-the-top, keeping we readers hooked with every twist. The supporting cast is amazing as well the way the all add layers to the story. The male lead, specially, is really charismatic and well-written, and his scenes withe the FL offers plenty of romantic tension without overshadowing the our female lead's independence and wit.

╰┈➤ The artwork is stunning and vibrant, perfectly complementing the lighthearted and comedic tone of the story. The FL's attitude and internal dialogue are really hilarious. All the characters are beautifully illustrated, with expressive faces. The luxurious settings and detailed costumes also further enhance the beauty of the story.

╰┈➤.. and many many other reasons! ✧。٩(ˊᗜˋ )و✧*。

꧁ᬊᬁ FINAL VERDICT: ᬊ᭄꧂ 👌



"The Perks of Being a Villainess" is a highly entertaining manhwa that breathes fresh life into the popular but cliche "villainess" genre with a delightful mix of humor, sass, and woman's empowerment.

It’s the perfect combination of gorgeous art, clever storytelling, and a protagonist you can’t help but root for so definitely give this one a chance and check out the novel as well if you can! ⸜(。˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡

read until: chapter 45

i love the dynamic between the main couple. the way they blush around each other is adorable. while with isidore being a handsome viscount with an intel business at the side is very appealing, deborah with her entrepreneur mindset and business acumen just dominates every scene. she's bold and isn't afraid of offending others. makes me want to support her every step of the way. the two of them scheming their way to richness and success behind the scenes is so satisfying.

villainess never failed for me before, i don’t think. i loooooved how scared everyone is of deborah. i mean, she did a lot of horrible things in the past but now that a modern girl is reincarnated/transmigrated into her body, she has changed. although she don’t have mana to do magic, deborah used her modern math knowledge to improve the magical system. suddenly, the bad-tempered, spoiled young lady is intelligent and well sought after by scholars. i want the romance to develop faster but watching viscount isidore slowly fall for deborah is great too! in this life, deborah just want to live lazily and in riches. she’s paving her path so that she don’t have to marry or depend on anyone. her unconventional ways of earning money (aka kinda shady ways of the modern world) intrigued viscount isidore but even more is how did deborah tame cookie?

deborah’s gonna get friends by helping the less privileged and less powerful. from the first chapter, we already saw her schooling an old man but of course, she’s misunderstood as abusing her power.

I originally read it's manhwa version and i like it so much that wanted to read further. I literally checked on each website if any chapters are updated but with my hopes down, i decide to pick up the novel. Honestly even if it was another isekai'd average poor girl turned into an menacing evil plot, variance from other novels is that the character of Deborah (MC), who turns from an ordinary girl to the villainess of the story, doesn't change the character of the original villainess to survive instead she uses the terrifying side that everyone fears to her advantage also don't we all love a capitalism’s favorite daughter,caffeine tycoon in the making - the owner of purple Starbucks of aristocrats of historical times.

It's entertaining to see a character so eager to embrace her villainous side, only to have circumstances repeatedly transform her into a goddess. What I enjoyed most was the protagonist's sharp business acumen—her skillful marketing of her products and her presence of mind. Even when she tries to avoid helping others, she inevitably ends up lending a hand.

I love Debora and Isidore sooo much. It’s been a min since I’ve really enjoyed a villainess manhwa like this one. And the art style ✨ Debora is so pretty and her character is refreshing too (I can see why Isidore is smitten). Can’t wait for s2!

Ich fands richtig gut, wie die Protagonistin ihr neues Dasein als "Schurkin" gefeiert hat. Die Geschichte wird sicher auch noch einiges für uns bereithalten. Ich bin aber noch nicht so ganz geflasht. Das haben andere Isekai Manga besser geschafft.

Great twist with the villainess actually embracing a bit of the og's personality because almost all of them after transmigration become saints.
