The villainess genre has become a popular genre on "Let's Become a Novelist", and the protagonist of "Since I'm a Villainess, I Tried Raising the Last Boss" is said to be the orthodox of the genre. I would like to introduce what kind of character the villainess is, who struggles to avoid the ruin flag. She is an attractive villainess that you will want to root for, so please check it out.
What are the standard settings for "villainous ladies"?
What is a "villainous ladies"? ..... I think there are some people who are wondering, so I will first introduce the standard settings. First, the protagonist dies for some reason in their previous life and is reincarnated into the world of the otome game "Saint, Demon and Maiden Regalia" that they played in their previous life, and the person they reincarnate into is the villainous young lady who bullies the heroine in the game. The protagonist regains their memories from their previous life (the timing of their memories returning varies from work to work, which greatly influences the overall setting of the work), and uses their knowledge of the game to struggle to change the scenario that is heading towards a catastrophic ending. However, before they can do so, they are faced with obstacles such as the true heroine and events that lead to their catastrophic ending... this is the standard pattern.
Recently, there have been patterns that derive from the classics
When it comes to popular genres, many works come out, including some that are not bound by the classic setting. Today, I would like to introduce two of them.
"The reincarnated villain does not want revenge"
Marie, the daughter of a local baron, regains her memories of Rosemary, a duke's daughter who was falsely accused of being a villain in her previous life and hanged as a villainous lady, after a rope gets entangled around her neck. Rosemary, who had been living a peaceful life, is suddenly invited to work as a maid at the royal palace, where she sees the people who once framed Rosemary and the corrupt royal palace. Rosemary is caught up in this against her will. How will Rosemary remodel the rotten palace?...
"The Villainess Changes Her Job to Brocon"
Yukimura Rina, who works at a black company, finds solace in being obsessed with otome games, and she becomes obsessed with her brother Alexei, who dotes on his younger sister Ekaterina. Eventually, Rina dies from overwork, but is reincarnated as Ekaterina, the villainess of the otome game she was obsessed with. According to the game scenario, Alexei is destined to die from overwork, and Rina, who has been reincarnated, takes action to avoid this flag of destruction.....
When will Irene's memories return?
In "Akuyaku Reijyou Mono," the story begins when memories return. How did Irene's memories return? It was the moment when her fiance, the crown prince, broke off their engagement at the school's winter closing evening party. Her memories of her past life suddenly started to come back, and it was the worst timing. And the graduation ceremony three months later was the end of the game with a bad ending... But she had no time to cry, and she was determined to avoid the bad ending.
Is Irene really a villainess?
The moment she was told that her engagement was broken off, Irene organized her situation, understood it, and immediately moved on to the next action. She is a very smart woman with a quick mind. And the reason she is called a villainous lady is because she tried to become a strong and sturdy woman so that her betrothed crown prince would rely on her when he became emperor, and as a result, she was shunned by those around her as an "arrogant and selfish lady who is arrogant in her position as the crown prince's betrothed daughter." Also, the fact that she was envious of the honest and gentle heroine and took a slightly prickly attitude may have been the reason for her misunderstanding from those around her. However, Irene is a positive, very smart, and strong-willed woman. And at heart, she is a kind and cute young lady. However, when she is planning a little evil scheme to avoid the flag, she looks like a villainous young lady.
Irene is a positive and proactive person!
One of Irene's charms is her ability to take action! Due to the education of her sadistic father, she has become a person who "chooses solutions rather than crying, and fight rather than being depressed," so she takes action immediately when something happens. However, Irene stands up not only for herself but also for her loved ones and friends, and gradually captures the hearts of those around her. I would like to introduce some of Irene's actions.
Proposing to the Demon King to avoid a bad ending
After being told that her engagement was broken off at the ball, Irene then proposed to the last boss of the game, "Demon King Claude Jeanne Elmeya." The only way to avoid ruin was to get Claude's love, so she thought, and entered the Demon King's castle and suddenly confessed, "I want you to marry me!" Of course, she was turned away.
A second attack on the Demon King, using any means possible
After rethinking her approach to Claude, Irene decided to "make him eat cookies laced with aphrodisiac!" She tried to take a monster hostage, threaten the Demon King, and create a fait accompli by putting an aphrodisiac in his mouth. Unfortunately, however, it didn't work on Claude, who was resistant to poison.
Repair the Demon King's Castle with a Private Contractor
During her engagement, Irene was trying to start up businesses such as drug development and sales, transportation for sales channels, and road construction, but after the engagement was broken off, the Crown Prince took all of them. Irene was working on a business to increase employment for the common people, but the Crown Prince cut them all off, leaving people without jobs and in trouble. So Irene wanted to do something about the people who had lost their jobs, so she proposed to Claude that the repair work of the Demon King's Castle be done by a private contractor. When Claude asked her why, Irene answered, "I'm helping people."
Summary
I introduced the main character, Irene. The main character of a "villainous lady story" is basically an attractive character who is not a villain at all, but who rushes around to avoid the ruin flag after regaining her memories of her previous life. Irene also proposes to the demon king Claude to avoid her own bad end, but although it was supposed to be a calculated proposal at first, she gradually becomes attracted to Claude. Claude also didn't pay any attention to Irene at first, but he becomes interested in Irene, who struggles while involving those around her. I'm very curious about how the relationship between the two will develop, so please watch the anime and find out for yourself. Thank you for reading to the end.
