As a traditional villain, isn’t it normal to tend flowers and slack off during work, then flirt with the righteous magical girls after hours? This was the courtroom testimony of a certain 1.4-meter-tall individual. Fake Villain: “She’s the real villain!

My Thoughts on As a Villain, What’s Wrong With Raising a Few Magical Girls?
As a Villain, What’s Wrong With Raising a Few Magical Girls? is quite a ride, a whimsical blend of comedy, gender-bending shenanigans, and magical girl mayhem. The premise itself is intriguing, and the execution, for the most part, delivers on the promise of a fun, lighthearted read.
First Impressions
Initially, I was drawn in by the sheer absurdity of the title. A villain raising magical girls? It screamed comedic potential, and I wasn't disappointed. The early chapters establish the MC's overpowered nature and their, shall we say, unconventional approach to villainy. It’s clear from the start that this isn’t your typical world-domination plot.
What Works Well
The humor is definitely the strongest aspect of this novel. The MC's antics, often involving messing with magical girls and making their allies uncomfortable, are genuinely funny. The story doesn't take itself too seriously, which allows for a lot of creative freedom and entertaining scenarios. The gender-bender aspect is handled in a way that adds to the comedic effect, and the hints of shoujo ai and yuri elements provide a sweet, fluffy counterpoint to the villainous shenanigans. The protagonist's strength is also well-integrated; it's not just about brute force but about how they use their power to create chaos and amusement. The "strong to stronger" progression keeps things interesting without becoming overly serious.
Areas of Concern
Unfortunately, there's a significant elephant in the room: the translation. It's honestly quite rough around the edges. Inconsistent pronouns, even for male characters, are jarring. Names shift inexplicably, forcing you to rely on context clues to figure out who's who. Awkward phrasing and outright nonsensical passages pop up frequently, significantly impacting the reading experience. It’s a shame because the underlying story is genuinely enjoyable.
Final Verdict
Despite the translation issues, I found As a Villain, What’s Wrong With Raising a Few Magical Girls? to be a worthwhile read, if you're willing to look past the translation. The humor is on point, the characters are engaging, and the premise is delightfully absurd. If the translation were improved, this would easily be a 4 or even a 5-star experience. As it stands, it's a flawed gem, but a gem nonetheless.
