Sue Byron’s Heart-Throbbing Academy Life

I got reincarnated as a character in a romance fantasy novel.

And the character I’m stuck with is none other than ‘Sue Byron, Viscount Chiqmefriar’s daughter’.

Sue is the worst villainess in history…

…or rather, she’s the worst kind of third-rate villain, a complete lackey with the worst personality!

She’s the epitome of unlikeable with absolutely no charm!

She spends her days causing trouble and being a nuisance until she eventually meets a meaningless end as the villainess’s scapegoat.

You could say she’s a ridiculously pathetic character.

Not to mention, her presence becomes so faint midway through that she’s not even remembered by anyone. That says it all.

Out of all the characters, I’m stuck with this one… Well, I guess I have to live until I die, right?

“Miss Vercia. Aren’t you being a bit too close to Master Fritz?”

There are countless times when I just want to cover my mouth, close my eyes, and shut my ears, but… Fighting, Sue Byron!

I honesty didn't have much expectations from this book. Thought it was your old typical story. Where ;when the FL reincarnates she just magically becomes the "Chosen One" that she has powers and she just easily overthrows everything. But no this was different, I know it is slow paced but that makes it more beautiful. She actually shows that what happens when you reincarnates into a third rate villain & no one gonna magically love your. When I was reading this I was blowing my eyes out that please someone... more>> do something. Her struggle was real.

And what I love most that she never gave up. She's just soo brave. And another thing I love is that the ML & the story is not perfect, the characters are not perfect. We are human so we all got our own flaws. And you don't need a pretty face to be kind.

People these days forget that despite having pretty face people can be evil.

And in this novel I really liked it when the point it out that "no matters how good/impressive

the background it villain were still villains ".

I wrote whatever was going on my mind. It was just my thoughts that I just was reading this more like grumblings. But I do want & hope that writes should write with this types of situations. <<less

I read through this so fast. It honestly was not what I was expecting from such cliche tropes and title.

Don't worry, it's not a happy-go-lucky villainess extra story. She's not an all-knowing isekai protag either.

Another review described it as a working at a toxic company type story. I like it.

It's not a bad read, if you're fine with a slower paced day to day type of story and can handle a protagonist who doesn't have the means to storm their way through obstacles. This is a plotline about having to keep a mask up -- MC's situation reminded me of working for a toxic company, you feel bile at the thought but keep going back willingly every day because if you don't worse things will happen.

Premise is, MC woke up as a minion character and is stuck sucking up... more>> to Villainess, acting cheerful and delighted about every shallow thought that comes out of her, because that's her role and she'll likely be curse-tortured if she doesn't. Well, sometimes she is either way, but it happens less often if Mistress b*tchington feels satisfied. By the time MC is in the picture the OG character had long since burned all other bridges with her behavior, so nobody believes the 'she's different now!' trope for a new york minute. Which is a nice change.

The only thing about Villainess that is remotely humanizing is that you can see how her family environment could create a sociopathic monster. They're influential, manipulative, obsessed with power, and have their claws in deep enough everywhere that MC doesn't really have a way out. She's very slowly making more positive connections that might eventually lead to an escape path? That curse needs to come off first, though.

-----------------------

TL quality seems good? No recurring problems with it that I can remember, at least. <<less

This is not a happy story, since it is fundamentally about a character who is ens*aved through magic and forced to act as a villainess. But the characters are well-developed, the plot is well-paced, and you can't help but root for Sue Byron to get her happy ending.

Kind of good read

Still in c30

If you like a really slow burn shoujo novel, then this novel is good for you. I like how the MC is not like your tipycal Villainess reincarnation, where everyone believe she had change become a good person, and everything become wholesome really fast. This novel is not even have comedy tag, you will feel how the MC facing cruel reality as is. Man, I hope this novel get a really satisfying ending or I will feel really s*upid wasting my time reading this novel.

It was a beautiful story not perfect but I liked.

at the beginning, I was sad for FL, If I were I would have burned everyone... Being tortured and stressed at the same time, I won't be in my normal state...

Around chapters 100, I was sometimes frustrated by The FL because she wants to keep everything to herself and not ask for help... Because she wants to keep everything to herself and not ask for help... But I also understand that she was afraid...

The romance developed very late (around chap... more>> 140~) but it's okay I didn't hate it... With everything going on for FL, I also understand why it took a while... Even I wouldn't have had the heart to think about love...

I really liked the epilogue where we could see the lives of the all characters we met throughout the story, and how they would become later, the story was a good ending, even if it wasn't a happy ending for everyone, it was still a good ending.

I was also surprised to discover the past of FL's master, in the epilogue..

I also understand now the way of thinking of the villainess (Enzhe) why she does that and her way of thinking I can't forgive her but I understand her better now...

Spoiler

I liked that ML was Woo even though I like Noel. I couldn't see Noel with FL, especially since he almost wanted to kill her for his family, even though he gave up later.

But I liked that they remained best friends at the end..

It's a shame that in the epilogue we didn't get to see the development of FL and ML's children.

I'm also happy for Enzhe that she was able to die happy and see Shina one last time. I like Shina because he remained himself and despite what she did, he heard her story at the end...

I don't know if people understood but Shina didn't die by Enzhe's side, he just stayed with Enzhe until she died. He became emperor, and that's all we know in the epilogue.

I read till newest translated chapter—the beginning of second story in special chapter.

truly, this book is good but exhausting. In a good way. Because we can feels how tired to be FL when she tried her best, but what happened already happened so she cant change much.

my complain is, the author is very good to building up conflict, but the resolution is kinda anticlimatix and rushing. That why the ending is not satisfying for me bcs the villain has not suffer enough. Somehow, the ending is realistic, but still have... more>> this bitter taste to me.

and there is so much question left unanswer, but I hope the special story will include them. Like:

Spoiler

what will happen to ori!ML after his biggest supporter (our ml) left him? What will happen with ori!fl? What will happen with our lovely friend noel? What will happen with milaine (i hope she become another strongest ally to FL like noel, but nope. What a shame) ? How can the villainess, only a kid, kill a crown prince and nobody know about this? Somehow there is so much plot hole and unanswer question about the villain family. And what will happen with FL and ML in the future? Will they open their bookstore or will ML become crown prince of another country's aide? Because, really, I know the happiness of FL and ML is number one but part of me really think it's a shame a munchkin ML "just" like a baby duck to do whatever FL do. I hope they can stand by themself, be themself, but always happy together.
