My Thoughts on Villain Savings: Started Now
"Villain Savings: Started Now" had a really interesting premise, one that definitely drew me in with the promise of comedy and romance in a shoujo-esque world. The idea of a villainess trying to save money instead of causing trouble? Genius! But did the execution live up to the initial spark? Let's dive in.
First Impressions
The beginning was quite strong. I was immediately hooked by the main character's unique approach to her villainess role. The idea of her trying to avoid the typical villainous pitfalls by, well, being practical and financially responsible was a refreshing take on the otome game reincarnation trope. It definitely had me laughing and eager to see where the story would go.
What Works Well
The core concept is undoubtedly the strongest aspect of this novel. The humor derived from the MC's dedication to saving money, even in the face of lavish noble life, is genuinely funny. I also appreciated how her insights, even if delivered passively, managed to influence the families around her, subtly shifting the power dynamics. The doting love interests were also a plus, adding a sweet and fluffy element to the overall narrative.
Areas of Concern
Unfortunately, I did find some areas where the story faltered. At times, the plot felt a bit…bland. While the initial premise was exciting, it seemed to lose some of its momentum as the story progressed. I also felt that the romantic relationship between the MC and ML could have been developed further. It was sweet, but it lacked a certain depth that would have truly made me invested in their connection. Additionally, the MC's tendency to spend a lot of time sleeping, while understandable from a "slothful" perspective, sometimes made her feel a little too passive. It felt like she wasn't actively driving the plot forward, which was a bit disappointing. I also noticed the pacing occasionally suffered, with the narrative sometimes feeling like a summary of events rather than a fully immersive story.
Final Verdict
"Villain Savings: Started Now" is a decent read, especially if you're looking for a lighthearted and humorous story with a unique twist on the villainess trope. While it has its flaws, the core concept and comedic elements make it an enjoyable experience overall. It's a fun one-shot that's worth checking out, especially if you're a fan of the genre.
