power to the fantasy

I hate being teased the end game at the start then rewinded back to the beginning, I thought a prologue was a before story not a flash forward. ANYWAY.

good entertaining, I like this, it's like someone saw eminence in shadow and decided to make the MC just as broken, but a complete psycho, she not a murder hobo, and has a role and standards she puts her self Into. I like the build of her power and how she spends her time as she grows up.
tho it starts meandering in inner monologue and some weird self aware self narration explaining everything instead of getting to the point, it got tiresome even tho I think it was intentional. Also that ending had me interested, she ain't a anti hero she's a self villian...with standards...

tldr, power fantasy, good narration, self aware psycho mc that doesn't kill everyone they see, good interactions. interesting ending to get rid of a what i see was her obly weakness (if ya know you know).

score 3/5 try it.

Surprisingly good isekai story

The story was amazing. It really put a spin on the whole idea of reincarnating as the villain. Overpowered protagonist? Yep. Surprisingly rich world? Yes. The heroes are often as despicable as to make the protagonist the 'lesser evil' to the world, which in a way is dancing around the theme of "reincarnated as a villain", but the main character is so enjoyably theathrical it's amazing.
While it is a very big positive that the series also deves into the nerdy side of the protagonist often, sometimes it feels like placing too much pop culture is pulling away from the story.
Overall it was an amazing time. The performer was a bit of a slow reader so I had to listen at 1.2x, but when the moments mattered, they put a lot of emphasys and effort to really make the dialogue flourish.
Can't wait for book 2.

Narrator carries HARD

The mary Sue of an MC thinks about stuff real hard and becomes strong. No, really, that is basically what happens. If you swing a sword in your basement and think that makes you compitent then this is a story for you.
The story wasnt terrible, but it was uninspired and basic. The idea of "the world is so evil it needs no supervillains," is cool and an understandable reason for the MCs reason to self isekai. Where the book struggles is getting the listner to care. The MC is insane and thus hard to relate to, but that is fine, not every MC needs to be. But the book fails to make the listener care about the MC and why they are awesome villain/should be stopped.
At times its hard to listen to, the constant 4th wall breaks and references make it feel like the book could not stand on its own.
The worldbuilding is alright, if not a bit basic, but that is largely the point. However almost everything is told, not shown. The best parts of the book are the parts without the MC in it.

For edgy teens maybe. But not for me.

Read it for the Brilliant Toxicity

If you Enjoy broken People and Toxic relationships this book is probably for you,
Its a Predictable power fantasy from the perspective of boundless narcissisms of a teenage girl.
Entertaining for sure but the reason why you should really give it a listen is the Toxicity and the Verbal and Emotional beat downs.

Some good dumb fun

Gave me everything I thought it would and a bit more. Really enjoyed the fact that the main character has personality and isn’t just annoying generic black hair MC. They are a flawed idiot but they have some awareness of there flaws makes it enjoyable to listen to. The writing draws you in with detail of everything, though I did find it repetitive at some points but never to unenjoyable level. Recommend for some dumb fun power trip with a goofy main character, listening to her justify stuff is very enjoyable.
The VA really smashed it with the accents and voices for the most part, very enjoyable.

not really a villain story

It's one of those things where the author thinks they are going to write a villain, but the actual antagonists are so horribly obnoxious that it dilutes the actual 'villainy'.

like ffs put in a trigger warning for the templar leader Sarah damn you. I wanted to jump into the book myself. Anyways, good writing, premise partially failed.

oh yeah, also way too may anime-esque posturing scenes. that's also irritating.

Good VA Terrible Story

The VA does an amazing job throughout despite the material they were provided with.

The MC is unbearable, they are the definition of a Mary sue being able to gain god like power by thinking about it. They become one of the strongest people almost immediately only for the story to constantly describe how they are just getting stronger and stronger with it holding no purpose in the wider story beyond “MC Strong”.

The writing is just so cringeworthy it hurts to listen to at points, pop culture references and youth talk are fine but the way this book uses them physically hurts.

The story has a bad habit of having a character develop an understanding of a situation/problem only for them to re-develop the same understanding about 5 minutes later wasting so much time.

I’m sure there’s an audience for this type of story with these characters. If you’re really into power fantasy, tumbler comedy and a cruel for the sake of cruel MC then this is for you.

Minor Spoilers Ahead.

At the end of the book they speak a bit of spanish. Here is the translation of that convo. It doesn't spoil much but still look at your own risk.


F: God save me this girl is too wild.
E: Stop fighting and kiss me, stupid.
F: F*** your mother, f****** I'm not stupid.
F: You speak Spanish?
E: I'm bad at that.


This was bothering me like nothing else so here for those who don't wanna fight with the translating.

complete and total psycho

this main character is a monster
the only compelling thing about her is that she's got good references
I know this is the story about a villain, but this girl goes from "I wanna be a dark Knight" to "I'm gonna make saw and texas chainsaw massacre" look pg13 she is a narcissistic, psychopathic, sociopathic sadist and the book goes into such detail about how much she enjoys torturing people for giggles I genuinely fear for the authors mind
