Adieu, My Villainess Life

   Unfortunately the story starts to change around chapter 23 or so – there’s an actual villain who loves to cause havoc just for the fun of it and manages to manipulate the female lead with just a few words right at the time when she wants to let go and move on.
   From then on things start to get annoying. The new title of the manhwa should be “How I turned into a villainess”. The fl wasn’t even that evil before, but now she thinks she has to humiliate or even destroy her formerly unfaithful husband to the max – and such gets re-entangled with him and his rather innocent lover.
   I understand that old traumas aren’t so easy to overcome, and I even find it very realistic that the female lead has nightmares of her first timeline (it’s super weird how easily other time-regressors just simply whisk off and forget the horrors of their former lifes in contrast)…
   But manipulating a girl who’s already in deadly danger and scheming to mess with the powerful dangerous family of her ex-hubby? This is way too risky just for a fleeting feeling of revenge-satisfaction. And it makes her transform into a real villainess with no other important goal and purpose in her life 🙁

   I rather like this story!
   For once, the first/past life (before the heroine returns in time) does not consist of the typical dark drama about execution, horrible mistreatings, bloody murder, defamation or devastating war.
   The new timeline also does not quickly focus on a new love-story (like a contract-marriage) of the female lead, nor on a drawn-out revenge-plan.
   Instead, right after the break-up, the heroine gets closer with her own family; and then goes on a trip together with her mother, where she gets to meet new people.
   The story also takes its time to describe the further actions and circumstances of the bad guys as well as what happens to the naive female lover of the cheater.
   Yes, the art is certainly not top tier, but it’s okay and fulfills its purpose to tell the story properly. And you can see that the artist put in an effort – not everyone is born a master.

   The FL forced a dude with a lover to marry her just coz she was infatuated with him. She thought after marriage he would fall for her but that doesn’t happen. After she goes back to the past she still isn’t moving on and although the guy is sometimes at fault the fl is worse and keeps blaming him.

      @Roseee – nope, this is not true at all. When the female lead gets proposed to by Ian (on that trip with her mother), she DOES reflect on her actions and regrets that she had basically forced Bern (her former husband in the first/past timeline) to marry her!
      The female lead does not immediately regret her actions, but it’s a process that slowly develops.
      It’s absolutely okay to “blame” the cheater; he was never just an innocent victim. For example: he slept with the female lead until she got pregnant, even though he refused to treat her nicely otherwise. Also he married her despite not “loving” her just because of money and power 🙁

   I find the art pretty boring and characters are bland. Story is just okay.

   Really generic and also kinds boring. The stakes are way lower than the usual regression stories. Also FL doesn’t really stand out as a “villainess”.

   First off, the art on the cover is completely different from the actual art. The actual art style is kinda bad, generic and not proportional. The story is mid and I hope we’re not gonna backtrack and say oh the mistress is actually really nice. Like girl, I hope she stops deluding herself. The guy is awful and he’s made to be awful. I hope he and his mistress befall a fate worse than death for causing the FL to lose her baby.
