Description
“I love you.” Aira, the ‘good wife’ who gave everything for love. Finally, at the moment when, thanks to her, he was about to become Emperor, Xavier approached her, blood dripping in front of her, and he whispered: “…But a hero’s shoulders are always heavy. You have to bear anything for the great achievement.” The chilling sound of the sword being drawn from its sheath. “Even the death of the woman who loves me.” The sword sliced through the air in a terrifying arc, taking Aira’s life. It was a brutal betrayal from the husband she had been with for seven years. *** But the power of the holy relic she absorbed before her death sent her back to the time before their marriage. Now, the stage for her revenge begins. Her mother-in-law, who groomed her as a sacrifice for her son. Her stepsister, who clung to her brother-in-law’s arm and smiled triumphantly at the last moment. And, of course, Xavier, the husband who led her to her death. They will all meet again, right in front of the gates of hell.

My Thoughts on I Came Back as a Villainess
First Impressions
Alright, let's dive into "I Came Back as a Villainess." The premise is one we've seen before: a woman gets a second chance, reincarnated as the villainess in a world steeped in that classic European ambience. Immediately, I was intrigued, because who doesn't love a good villainess redemption arc? The initial chapters pull you in with the mystery surrounding our protagonist's past life and the cryptic words she remembers before dying. It's enough to make you want to know more about who she was and who she's going to become.
What Works Well
The hints of a grander, more unique lore are what really grabbed my attention. The idea that the villainess is a descendant of a dragon? That's a pretty awesome twist on the typical villainess story. I found myself immediately wondering if she'd unlock those draconic powers later on. That potential for a cool power-up definitely adds a layer of excitement to an otherwise familiar plot. Also, the amnesia surrounding the male lead's identity adds a nice touch of mystery. I was kept guessing about who exactly whispered those fateful words to her in her past life. The suspense is definitely there.
Areas of Concern
Unfortunately, it seems like the biggest issue right now is the lack of available chapters. It's hard to fully invest in a story when the translation is stalled. All the potential in the world can't be realized if the story isn't accessible. It's frustrating to get hooked on a promising premise only to hit a wall.
Final Verdict
"I Came Back as a Villainess" has the potential to be a really entertaining read. The dragon lineage and the mystery surrounding the ML are definitely strong hooks. However, the lack of translated chapters is a major drawback right now. If the translation picks up, I think this could be a story worth keeping an eye on, especially if the author delivers on the dragon aspect. For now, I'm cautiously optimistic.
