We all hate the greedy villains hell-bent on sabotage. Enter Carnelia Easter, the awful secondary villainess of the romance I’m reading, who trapped the prince in marriage at the behest of the evil empress. I didn’t shed a tear when her head’s lopped off, but now I’m Carnelia! I gotta play this smart and convince him to divorce me instead! Still, between the prince, the empress, the heroine, the second prince, my terrible health... this story’s getting unpredictable. Will I survive after all? (Source: Tapas)

Read the full take

This Villainess Wants a Divorce! starts from a sharp, funny premise: a reader who knows how the romance is supposed to go finds herself inside the villainess's body and sets out to change her fate. The political tangle is the highlight, with royal scheming, a hostile empress and a prince who has every reason to resent her. The art handles the court settings with polish and gives the expressions room to be funny. The drawbacks are the court intrigue, which can drag, and the romantic leads, who sometimes feel like stock types. The series is finished across 118 chapters, which makes it easy to commit to. Readers who enjoy reincarnated-villainess comedy with a clear goal will have a good time. Those who prefer fast-moving action may find the scheming slow. It is a clever, fun entry with enough bite to keep its goal front and centre.
