Description
“Alicia Filta, I break my engagement with you!” said Raymond-sama, the son of the Duke of Jaeger. On Raymond-sama’s arm was Miranda-sama, the Baroness’ daughter. Miranda-sama was a pretty, sheltered girl with pink downy hair, big red eyes, and a petite stature. I, on the other hand, have silver hair and violet eyes, and my facial expression is not as expressive, which is why I am called the “Princess of Noh Masks” or “the Doll Princess.” No wonder Raymond-sama is attracted to Miranda-sama…. But… “You’re jealous of my fondness for the kind-hearted and beautiful Miranda, and you’ve torn up Miranda’s school books, pushed her down the stairs, and committed other violent acts!” “Excuse me?! Can I talk to you for a minute?” “What?” Raymond-sama frowns and stares at me. “You’re breaking off your engagement with me? It was done yesterday, didn’t you know?!” At my words, Raymond-sama and Miranda-sama looked at each other in shock.

My Thoughts on You’re Breaking Off Your Engagement with Me? It Was Done Yesterday, Didn’t You Know?!
Alright, let's dive into this one. You’re Breaking Off Your Engagement with Me? It Was Done Yesterday, Didn’t You Know?! It's a mouthful, I know, but the title definitely sets the stage for some villainess shenanigans. I went in expecting a fun, maybe slightly predictable, revenge story, and well, I got some of that.
First Impressions
The premise is definitely intriguing. A wronged fiancée calmly and efficiently dismantling her cheating fiancé and his cronies? Sign me up! However, I quickly found myself feeling a bit…underwhelmed. The initial hook is strong, but the execution left me wanting more.
What Works Well
The speed at which the FL deals with her problems is definitely a plus. There's no drawn-out suffering or unnecessary drama. She gathers her evidence, cancels the engagement, and proceeds to make the lives of her antagonists miserable. It's a quick, satisfying power fantasy that scratches that "justice served" itch. Some readers found this satisfying, describing it as a "villainess victory speedrun" in a positive light. It's definitely a story that gets straight to the point, which can be refreshing.
Areas of Concern
Unfortunately, the simplicity that makes the story appealing also becomes its biggest weakness. The characters, for instance, feel incredibly one-dimensional. The villains are cartoonishly evil, lacking any real depth or motivation beyond being, well, bad. The FL, while competent, doesn't have much personality beyond her intelligence and calm demeanor. The writing, while straightforward, can feel simplistic and childish at times. The plot, after the initial setup, becomes incredibly predictable. The antagonists face severe consequences for their actions, but the descriptions and the impact the consequences have on the wrong doers are not described in a visceral manner. The author just wasn't able to convey the humiliation and degradation of the antagonists.

Final Verdict
Ultimately, You’re Breaking Off Your Engagement with Me? It Was Done Yesterday, Didn’t You Know?! is a quick and easy read if you're looking for a brainless story about an evil doer getting what they deserve. However, if you're seeking depth, complex characters, or a truly satisfying revenge plot, you might want to look elsewhere. It's like a sugary snack – enjoyable in the moment, but ultimately lacking in substance.
