The Perks of Being a Villaines by Mang, Gokim (Story), Yoteh (Art) Link

Mere moments before her death, Korean architecture student Yoon Dohee has an epiphany: those around her regard her as nothing more than a pushover and someone utterly undeserving of respect. A chance to turn her life around comes in the most unexpected form when she is reborn as Deborah Seymour, a brazen and scornful villainess from a dark reverse harem novel. When one of the male leads acquired a rare pink diamond for the heroine, Mia Binoche, Deborah's envy sparked an abusive campaign that eventually landed her in an isolated monastery.

For this incarnation of Deborah, being a villainess from such a prominent and wealthy family is living the dream. People expect nothing from her, and she gets to relax and be pampered to her heart's content. She is personally disinterested in the diamond, so she simply has to avoid crossing paths with Mia and her love interests. But if Deborah, as a noble lady, refuses to marry, she will meet the same pitiful ending regardless. To secure her independence, Deborah needs money and help—and a mysterious hooded information broker may prove to be her lifeline.

Never read a villainess comic before, so far (ch. 9) it looks good. Love the art style and it's definitely funny, it always gets me when Deborah gets an "aura farming" panel for the most mundane stuff ever, like she opens a door and baaamm epic portrait, insane details, flowers everywhere

 

[Jammin]

I made it to chapter 24 last night. So far, I like it. Art style is great. Like Deborah, she's a fun MC, not Mary Sue-ish which is always a relief, and I like her family dynamic and how sort of awkward she is.

The real challenging point for me and villainess series tends to be the male love interest situations though. Because the sort of trope versions of that are not very appealing to me as a male reader. Even my favorite of these villainess genre series, Beware the Villainess, fell victim to that in the end. So I'm curious where the series is going to go in that respect. But, for now, I'm having a great time!

 

[Sanity Check]

Finished chapter 103.

"Villainess" expectations were this would be like Wednesday Adams in netflix's "Wednesday" series. Not disappointed things failed to manifest that way.

The author is very clever. The story gains depth with back and forth action that is refreshingly not combat based. Art work reflecting character emotion hits right.

The love interest arc follows a path of delayed gratification which might put some off. (Things happen very slowly)

All in all: a winner.

The best thing about this manga is that it defies some tropes of the genre:

Spoiler

- her family being good. She has a good father and decent siblings.
- she hasn't gained any power but she found a way to make bank with magic without actually using it.
- She is neither a goodie two shoes nor evil. All she wants is to make money to survive her bad routes.
- She has a hand fetish.
- the OG mc is neither good nor the main villain. As of now she seems like just a pawn for the actual bad guys.
- The male lead is refreshing. Very healthy display of masculinity. He once went around in all pink and had fun with the jokes. He is also not shown as perfect he is often depicted as money obsessed and vain.
