Description
Yeya is a little sprout of the Plant Clan, who has just turned 100 years old. To save her family, Yeya transmigrates into a novel. The original owner of the body was a vicious villainess; the system asked Yeya to fulfill the task in place of the dead villainess. She needs to be vicious and mercilessly suppress the protagonist at every turn. To do that, she needs to snatch away all his resources. And when the male lead is at his most vulnerable, she needs to hit him with a fatal blow. Yeya nodded her head, indicating that she understood the task. However—— “Uncle, what does it mean to be vicious and merciless?” “…” The system was extremely depressed and frustrated as he stared at the three and a half years old villainess. *** Yeya earnestly acted her villainess role according to the mission. However, the result was always contrary to the system’s expectations. As a result, the progress of the taskbar lengthened in reverse. The system eventually collapsed in despair, “Little one, what breed of plants are you? I’ve worked with your mother before. Your mother is a corpse flower*. She’s super malicious!” Isn’t genetics supposed to be strong? Yeya, who is playing in the mud, has a soft and tender voice, “My father is a four-leaf clover, so I am a four-leaf clover as well~” The system, “…” Wow, like father like daughter! T/N: * A carnivorous plant that mainly eats insects. It earned its name ‘the Corpse Flower’ because it smells like rotten flesh when it blooms. It’s also literally translated to ‘man-eating flower’.

My Thoughts on The Villainess is Three and a Half Years Old
"The Villainess is Three and a Half Years Old" is a web novel that certainly left me with mixed feelings. It's a story with a unique premise, blending comedy, drama, and fantasy elements around a precocious, hundred-year-old baby protagonist. While it charmed me with its initial lightheartedness and cute characters, some narrative choices ultimately left me wanting more.
First Impressions
Initially, I was drawn in by the sheer absurdity and charm of the main character, Yaya. The idea of a centuries-old plant spirit in a three-year-old's body navigating the complexities of a human world is inherently funny. The early chapters were filled with moments of levity, as Yaya's unique perspective and surprising wisdom clashed hilariously with the adults around her.
What Works Well
The strength of this novel lies in its protagonist. Yaya is empathetic, precocious, and often unintentionally hilarious. Her interactions with the world, particularly her attempts to navigate her role as a "villainess," are genuinely entertaining. I also appreciated the found family aspect of the story. The relationships Yaya forms, particularly with her adoptive brothers, added a layer of warmth and wholesomeness that I found endearing. The exploration of heavy topics, such as child abuse and cloning, was handled in a way that was interesting to read.
Areas of Concern
My biggest issue stems from the ending, which felt rushed and unsatisfying. The author introduces numerous plot points, such as the business conflicts and the mother's story, that are never fully explored. I was also disappointed by the father's redemption arc. While his initial treatment of Yaya was undeniably cruel, his subsequent "redemption" felt unearned and glossed over. Finally, the resolution of the android boy's story was also upsetting.

Final Verdict
"The Villainess is Three and a Half Years Old" is a story with a lot of potential that, in my opinion, doesn't quite live up to it. While the charming protagonist and humorous situations kept me engaged for a good portion of the story, the rushed ending and unresolved plot threads ultimately left me feeling disappointed. I'd recommend this as a light, fluffy read if you're not expecting a deeply satisfying conclusion.
