Description
I became the manager of a mansion where no one came to work because of the vicious rumors.Having no talent for housework, I was haunted by a mysophobic ghost and posted a housekeeper job notice in the newspaper.And I hired the only handsome man who came to me without asking or questioning… “Thank you for hiring me. Here’s my resume.” 「Name – Dante van Dyke*Major CareerFormer) Commander of the Magic Special Forces*Joining Aspirations and Future PlansPlanning to clean up the corrupt empire.」 Gasp, what is this!He was the villain male lead who would later destroy the empire.Why do you prepare that while doing other people’s housework. I put on a very harmless smile. “Unfortunately, you have not passed due to your document…”“Do you not like me?” I was overwhelmed and frightened by the eerie eyes that sank lower and lower. “I-it was actually a pressure interview. Pass.”“What shall I do first, landlady? I’m good at housework, but I’m also good at other things.” The man who suddenly changed into a friendly person gently showed a charming eye smile. “I’d be happy to work the night as well.”“What did you say?”“I mean working overtime.” He was very much desperate.Even that’s not enough—the sword master, the devil, and the mage tower lord came together… “I came here after seeing job postings for a cook, gardener, and butler. Let me do anything, Master.” Ah, don’t plot treason in my house!

My Thoughts on I Took the Villain as a Housekeeper
"I Took the Villain as a Housekeeper" certainly grabbed my attention with its intriguing premise! A beautiful female lead, a contract with a villainous (or perhaps just misunderstood) character, and a healthy dose of comedy? Sign me up! This web novel promises a fun ride, and from what I've read so far, it largely delivers.
First Impressions
Right off the bat, the humor is what stood out to me. The main character's internal monologue and her reactions to the absurd situations she finds herself in are genuinely hilarious. The idea of being essentially a "lifetime-s*ave" to a rich, ghostly noble is already ripe for comedic potential, but the author seems to have taken it to the next level. The MC's sarcastic outlook on life and her quirky methods of dealing with her eccentric employees had me chuckling throughout.
What Works Well
The comedic timing in this novel is fantastic. The author has a knack for creating these over-the-top scenarios and then letting the MC's witty commentary shine. I especially appreciate the parody elements and references sprinkled throughout the story. It adds an extra layer of enjoyment for those in the know. The characters, while perhaps a bit lacking in common sense at times, are certainly memorable and contribute significantly to the overall comedic effect. The budding romance between the MC and the "villain" is also a strong point. Their bickering and eventual growth as a couple are fun to witness.
Areas of Concern
While the novel excels in comedy, I can see how some readers might find the characters' lack of common sense a bit frustrating at times. The plot can sometimes feel a bit chaotic, but honestly, that chaos is part of the charm. The humor may not land for everyone, but if you enjoy a good parody with plenty of absurd situations, this is definitely worth checking out.
