My Next Life As A Villainess X

Okay, hear me out. Reincarnation is a fun thought, right?

Especially if you get superpowers or become royalty. But, let's be real, being the hero is so overrated.

The Allure of the Anti-Heroine

I'm talking about the villainess. Specifically, one from My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom!. Wouldn't that be a riot?

I know, I know, everyone loves Catarina Claes. The potato-loving, dense-as-a-brick heroine. But sometimes I think she needs a little help.

Perhaps a slightly more... proactive rival?

Why Catarina Needs a Nemesis (Maybe)

Look, Catarina is amazing. She dodges doom flags like a champ. But her solutions are usually... chaotic, at best.

Imagine if there was someone a little more cunning. Someone who could actually anticipate the problems before they exploded in everyone's faces?

A villainess with a plan, not just pure, accidental charm.

My Villainess Origin Story

So, if I got isekai'd (that's transported to another world, for the uninitiated), I wouldn't aim for Catarina's spot.

I'd aim to be her brilliantly wicked rival. Maybe a distant cousin with a suspiciously good education?

Or perhaps a transfer student from a foreign land, brimming with secrets?

My Villainous Goals

My primary goal? Not to actively destroy Catarina's life. That's too cliche. And frankly, she's too precious.

Instead, I'd want to gently nudge her towards better choices. Subtly sabotage her worst impulses. All while maintaining a veneer of polite rivalry, of course.

Think of it as... tough love from a deliciously evil angle.

Fashionably Evil

And let's talk fashion. As a villainess, you're not stuck with frumpy peasant dresses. No way!

Think elaborate gowns with dramatic sleeves. Jewel-encrusted accessories. And maybe even a ridiculously impractical yet stunning headpiece.

Being bad never looked so good. Catarina can keep her gardening gear; I'll take the tiara.

The Thrill of the Game

Okay, maybe there's a tiny bit of a selfish reason I want to be the villainess.

It's the challenge! Outsmarting the heroes. Pulling the strings from the shadows. It sounds like way more fun than just stumbling into friendships.

Plus, if I fail, and end up becoming friends with everyone anyway? Win-win!

Ultimately...

So, yeah, I'm throwing my hat into the ring for reincarnation as a villainess in My Next Life as a Villainess.

Not because I want to be evil, but because I think the story needs a little spice. And maybe, just maybe, a slightly more competent antagonist.

Don't judge. You know you'd secretly love it too.
