The Villainess Stans the Heroes Playing the Antagonist to Support her Faves! Vol. 2 is a lot of fun

Whoever said no rest for the wicked was onto something. After I fulfilled my villainess role marvelously, Albert and I fled to a resort town in anticipation of an upcoming in-game event. Upon our arrival, we ran into another one of my all-times faves–who has been forced to compete in an underground fighting ring dressed as a playboy bunny! Plus, this is way before she’s supposed to show up in the main storyline. The continuous changes to the narrative are kind of concerning, but no time to worry about that now–I’ve got a hero to save!

The Villainess Stans the Heroes Playing the Antagonist to Support Her Faves Vol. 1 is a fun start

What’s a girl to do when she’s reincarnated into a game full of her biases, and as the antagonist to boot? Simple–do whatever it takes to make them shine, of course! When I’m reborn into the body of the villainess Eldia, I’m determined to play my role to perfection for the loves of my life…but how was I supposed to know that one impulsive mistake I made years ago would bring such drastic changes to the story!?
