The Tragedy of The Villainess #1-6
The Tragedy of The Villainess
Seria, a social outcast, has changed.
Seria Stern, the wicked woman who made everyone tremble with fear, was now calm.
In fact, she wasn’t just changed, she was a completely different person.
The moment she realized that she had possessed the body of the villain Seria, in a romance novel, she had a hunch about the future and decided to live low.
She would avoid kidnapping and harassing the original heroine, hence preventing her death by decapitation at the hands of Kalis, the second male lead.
In order to avoid that, she had to fix her bad relationship with Kalis and even healed his injured arm.
Thanks to that she got engaged with him, so it’s all worked out.
Finally, the original heroine returned, and her husband, Lesche, should be on good terms with her now.
“I’ve been waiting to escort her, so…”
Lesche asked, resolutely cutting off Kalis’ words.
“Miss Seria, it would be better for you to choose. With whom would you want to go with?”
Something was strange.
The original, wasn’t it perfectly fine?

The ex fiancé and Lina made me so angry sometimes I had to stop reading. But it’s a great read!

Me encantó la novela, definitivamente una de mis favoritas del género.
Al principio me hizo sufrir demasiado, no podía con tanta rabia que me daba.
La historia de las estrellas no me convence del todo.
Leshe y Selia son demasiado tiernos juntos, me hubiese gustado más escenas de ellos dos, pero con las historias nuevas que salieron contando más sobre el embarazo y el cambio de cuerpos estoy contenta :)

It took me a while to find the complete series of this book in English but I was able to track it down! I began reading this series on Manta as a web-manwha and NEEDED more than a short weekly update. I just had to know how to story ended. Seria is a modern woman who is reincarnated as a villainess in the novel she was reading before facing a tragic death as a graduate student. She is a beautiful character that you easily fall in love with and want her to succeed in changing the fate of the 'villainess'.
This story took an insane turn that I was not expecting but it made everything leading up to the big reveal make sense. I cannot wait to see it all unfold as a manwha comic. It really helped me visualize all of the characters, so if you do read this series you should go take a peek at the illustrated version to meet all of the main characters. It was a wonderful story and you are left wanting more, even after the story ends.

Outside of the FL and ML, everyone else was extremely aggravating to read. I’ve never read such a stupid antagonist like she had such strong plot armor because there were like ten opportunities she should have died or been caught.
Seria became a white lotus but it turns out she was always one so she never truly was a villainess… which was kinda lame but the past lives made it understandable. There was some hand-waving magic that happened to explain her modern life which was kinda stupid too. I pushed through to finish it since I wanted to know about the other antagonist and idk I don’t think this book deserves the praise it gets. It’s all very bland at the end and the only redeeming factor is the fated love trope. Seria is one of the smarter FLs I’ve read in otome isekai, though.

Se tornou uma das minhas histórias favoritas e eu amo o desenvolvimento desse casal. Lesche é mais do que um ml frio que se apaixona, ele ama essa mulher de tal forma que jamais um homem real vai conseguir, ele está no meu top 3 de ML. Seria tentou ao máximo se adaptar a realidade que foi inserida e tentar evitar o final trágico e por isso algumas vezes ela aceitou demais comportamentos ruins contra ela, no entanto, quando ela deixa isso de lá se mostra extremamente determinada e forte. O plot da Lina é algo que me deixou bastante surpresa e triste, mas ainda assim fico feliz com o final que ela teve.

ohhh, this is quite different. i absolutely love it! i’m thoroughly enjoying this ‘slow-burn-that-isn’t-really-a-slow-burn’, and i’m really looking forward to reading more! our true ML’s a catch, that’s for sure. they’re going to be such a wholesome couple once they admit their feelings out loud, i just know it.
edit: AHHHH, I LOVE THEMMMM. so glad i decided to reread it! and now that the story’s actually over, i already know that i’ll be missing them as well.

The Tragedy of The Villainess
3.5 ⭐

Bueno… ¡Me encantó! La historia de Seria y Lesche me tuvo enganchada toda la novela y no podía esperar para seguir leyendo. Ahora, la trama también me gustó, era muy interesantes los conflictos que tenía la prota y como buscaba solucionarlos; y cuando empiezas a descubrir la verdad oculta me enamoré más. Creo que el manwhua hizo que Lina sea más rata que en la novela, si es rata, pero no tanto. Por otra parte, el ex se merecía el final que le dieron, pero me dio penita cuando él recupero la conciencia y se dio cuenta el daño que le hizo a Seria. Para ese momento Seria ya estaba feliz en su vida de casada. Xd Ahora sí, la relación con Lesche, que buen marido era, siempre le dio su lugar a Seria y la respetó sobre todo. Obvio Seria llego con traumas, pero él supo esperarla; incluso suprimió sus sentimientos para que ella no se sienta incómoda y siempre le aseguro que no tendría otra esposa que no sea ella. <3 La historia del pasado me dio mucha pena el pensar que siempre se quisieron y por fin tuvieron su final feliz. <3
Super recomendada.

"Seria, the troublemaker of the social circle, has changed. The wicked Seria Stearn, who made everyone tremble in fear, has become well-behaved.
In fact, she wasn't just different; she was someone else entirely. The moment she realized she had transmigrated into a romance novel as the villainous Seria, she had a premonition about the future and decided to live life flat on her back.
In order to avoid only that ending where she kidnaps the original female lead and torments her, only to have her throat slit by the sub-male lead, Calis, she first resolves her adversarial relationship with Calis and even fixes his broken arm. Thanks to that, she ends up getting engaged to the sub-male lead. Everything seems to have turned out well since the original female lead has finally appeared, so the male lead, Leche, should be happy with her, right?
"I have been waiting all this time to escort her. So..."
Leche firmly interrupted Calis and asked.
"Seria, my dear, it's better for you to choose what's best. Who will you go to with your true nature?"
Something is off. Wasn't the original plot perfectly resolved?"
