Description
When I opened my eyes, I had possessed a character in a zombie story. And not just any moment—but right when a zombie was about to bite me. “Wait, hold on!” Sure, I was a villainess who threw tantrums and trolled the protagonists, but still, don’t just abandon me! Despite my desperate pleas, the protagonists’ backs grew farther and farther away. And in the end… Crunch! Five minutes after possessing this body, I was bitten by a zombie. *** “How can you be unharmed, Penelope?” When I returned safely, everyone was utterly shocked, and the heroine, Lilia, ran up and hugged me. “Lady! You’re alive!” The sweet scent of the woman who embraced me as if relieved kept making my mouth fall open. At this moment, I could just bite her down in one go… These were the very people who had abandoned me and fled. So taking a bite out of at least one of them should be fine, right? As the faintly sweet scent tickled my nose, my mind grew hazy. But the grand duke, who warily pointed his sword at me, snapped me back to reality, forcing me to suppress my instincts. Yes. Just hold on a little longer. Soon, they’ll develop a cure, and I can’t afford to die now. So, while staying by the protagonists’ side, I kept my instincts in check, hiding the fact that I was a zombie… “Your Highness, I’m fine.” “There’s no way you’re fine. Look at how injured you are.” Even when I insisted I was fine, they wouldn’t leave me alone. “I’ll do it, so just stay put.” “Next time, I’ll be the one to save you, Lady.” “Please, don’t ever tell me to leave you behind. The thought of losing you drives me insane.” It seems the protagonists have gotten a serious misunderstanding.

My Thoughts on The Abandoned Villainess Became a Zombie
This novel really grabbed my attention with its unique premise – a villainess reincarnation story, but with zombies! I went in expecting something potentially ridiculous, but I was pleasantly surprised by the depth and complexity I found.
First Impressions
Honestly, the title alone made me click. The combination of "villainess" and "zombie" felt so unexpected. I was immediately curious how the author would blend these elements. And I have to say, it's a very interesting take on the villainess trope.
What Works Well
The first-person perspective is a huge win for me. Being inside Penelope's head as she navigates this bizarre and dangerous situation is incredibly engaging. I found myself constantly trying to decipher the true intentions of the other characters, just like she is. The author does a fantastic job of creating morally grey characters; no one is purely good or evil, and everyone has their own agenda. This makes the story feel much more realistic and keeps you guessing.
I also appreciate the slow-burn approach. The focus isn't solely on romance, which allows the plot to develop organically. There's a good balance of thriller, mystery, drama, and even some slice-of-life moments that make Penelope feel like a well-rounded character. She's empathetic, patient, and understanding, despite the incredibly difficult circumstances she's in. The plot kept me hooked and I found myself forgetting about the romance aspect.
Areas of Concern
At the time of writing, the story is still ongoing, which can be a bit of a drawback for some readers. The pacing can also be quite slow, which may not appeal to those looking for a fast-paced read.
Final Verdict
Overall, "The Abandoned Villainess Became a Zombie" is a refreshing and well-executed take on the villainess reincarnation genre. The unique premise, compelling characters, and intricate plot make it a worthwhile read. If you're looking for something different with a good balance of romance, mystery, and thriller, I highly recommend giving this novel a try.
