Villainess Stories Public

Created and curated by ObscureGodOfTea

and contract marriage and time reversal and all the stuff that fits into that genre of tropes. Ordered by how much I enjoyed them, which doesn't necessarily have any connection to their quality (series with a more comedic focus tend to be lower on the list for example, but that doesn't mean they're worse, I just prefer romance & drama themes). I put series that have fun themes but bad writing higher than stuff that's well written but bores me.

Will slowly add all the stuff I've read + commentary of my thoughts on it. The curation feature is on in case folks want to hear my opinion on something not on here yet. Feel free to suggest something & I'll be sure to read it and ramble away :>

    Do you want to watch a woman go on a journey to kill god all for the sake of another woman? This is the series for you! Bonus for gorgeous visuals and fun deity designs. It has the usual misogyny portraying the "heroine" & I'm not really qualified to comment on what's going on with the demons.

  2. Villainess Level 99 Volume 1 by , , (Villainess Level 99, #1)

    Yumiella Dolkness is your run-of-the-mill villainess in an otome RPG—except for the fact that she’s also secretly the overpowered hidden …

    ObscureGodOfTea says:

    I'm always partial to a protagonist with a flat affect and Yumellia delivers. Same with absurdly overpowered characters. Villainess level 99 has a nice balance of comedy and slowly building friendships and romance with an oblivious mc.

  3. ObscureGodOfTea says:

    pretty cheesy in a way that makes me smile. there's very little excess embellishment or filler, making every chapter feel worth reading as it pushes the story forward or teaches you new things about the characters (yes I know this should be the norm but it is absolutely not).

  4. I Shall Master This Family by , ,

    No rating

    The great Lombardi family was once at the top of the empire. After the death of its patriarch, the fate …

    ObscureGodOfTea says:

    Fun story with actually engaging political machinations for once. I like the protagonist a lot and I find the various family dynamics she's got going interesting.

  5. I'm the Villainess, So I'm Taming the Final Boss, Vol. 1 by , , (I'm the Villainess, So I'm Taming the Final Boss, #1)

    No rating

    Avoid the bad ending at all costs! When her fiancé breaks up with her in front of the entire student …

    ObscureGodOfTea says:

    Villainess x Demon Lord stories are rarely a miss tbh and this one is no exception. Very cute story with charming characters.

  6. June Peach by ,

    No rating

    After two rebirths and two miserable, failed marriages, Leah Riveron vowed to never wed again. Despite this, she can’t get …

    ObscureGodOfTea says:

    One of those stories that starts off kind of lighthearted before spiraling. I enjoyed reading it overall, the leads have good chemistry and realistic feeling mundane relationship troubles. The writing style is also nice.

  7. ObscureGodOfTea says:

    The first 'villainess' story I ever read and a classic. Love a competent fl and a series that goes into unessasary amounts of detail about logistics. Extremely predictable plot, even if you're not a villainess regular but the execution pulls it off well enough anyway.

  8. ObscureGodOfTea says:

    One of my fav low stress villainess comedy series. Mia is such a funny character, and I love how everyone constantly misunderstands her.

  9. Your Throne by 

    No rating

    Tensions are brewing under the seemingly calm surface of the Vasilios Empire, a kingdom ruled by the Imperial Family and …

    ObscureGodOfTea says:

    This is the series I come back to every time I get sick of shallowly written evil heroines pitted against the fl for no real reason. I love both of them in this series & their dynamic. The writing is not great though and it's painfully clear cliffhangers are the #1 priority.

  10. A Villainess No More by , ,

    No rating

    All her life, Elizabeth has been eclipsed by her warmhearted younger sister, who cares for the common people and rejects …

    ObscureGodOfTea says:

    Another calm & sweet slow romance. The leads get along right away and work together to build a relationship with minimal obstacles.

  11. ObscureGodOfTea says:

    School setting with a very quick turnaround rivals to lovers with a sprinkling of recovering from a relationship with a controlling fiancé who destroyed the fl's sense of identity & social life and is doing the same to his new lover. Cute!

  12. 悪役令嬢転生おじさん 1 by  (悪役令嬢転生おじさん, #1)

    No rating

    ObscureGodOfTea says:

    Comedy series with a great premise and decent execution. Love the lead's go with the flow attitude that has him just be fine with the whole situation. The mirroring between polite office culture and roundabout noble speech is a fun theme.

  13. The Magical Revolution of the Reincarnated Princess and the Genius Young Lady Vol. 1 by , , (The Magical Revolution of the Reincarnated Princess and the Genius Young Lady, #1)

    Despite her supposed ineptitude with regular magic, Princess Anisphia defies the aristocracy’s expectations by developing “magicology,” a unique magical theory …

    ObscureGodOfTea says:

    It's ok. Maybe I'm just too picky with lesbian stories. The romance is a miss. Things I like: mostly told from the perspective from the non-isekaied character, fun bits of worldbuilding, the isekaied girl not being able to use magic and getting really into studying ways to make it more accessible.

  14. ObscureGodOfTea says:

    Fun and lighthearted. Good if you're in the mood for something with not a lot of depth or are a new reader to this type of story.

  15. 7th Time Loop by , , (7th Time Loop, #1)

    No rating

    Every time Riche turns twenty, she dies and is reincarnated to the day she gets dumped. She has been a …

    ObscureGodOfTea says:

    Solid but not outstanding, though it has been a while since I read it. Will re-read one day and potentially bump my rating up! I do enjoy a competent & confident Fl.
