It's interesting how Alicia approaches her role in this timeline. She works hard and thinks like an adult, at least in terms of logic.

Also noticed she tries to act like a proper lady. The little bit of miniature version of herself acts like comedy relief moments, something I expect to see from this show. She also seems really overconfident in herself at times. Pretty amusing characte.

4/5, it's kind of painful to watch/listen to since she wants to be evil, but she keeps being good instead of evil (cringe) 90% of the time. Honestly relatable as I've wanted to play the evil play-through in games, and it's REALLY hard to be bad, and will end up only occasionally being bad/mean.
Look forward to more. Really makes me want to play a game like this but every Otome (or whatever this is) I find is full-priced or barely discounted.

Hmm this ep went downhill from the first one.

Let's see what happens next. A couple of possibilities come to mind.
Will MC convince her dad to employ talented commoners like in that kantei show?
Will she become a lvl 99 and push through with force?
Is there something else at play?

The age gap between duke and alicia is really throwing me off,
a 10-year-old as a presumably 15+ year old?

I’m sorry, but how old is the duke??
That
at the end was so unnecessary. He was weird since the first time he saw her, but that kiss was just uncalled for, he was just looking for an excuse to kiss this 10 year old girl. I honestly don’t know how old the duke himself is, but if he’s already at the magic academy, that would make him at least 15…
I really don’t like this. I know it’s a frequently used setup to put the woman or sometimes man in a vulnerable position to give the counter interest a base to work on and show affection, but this was just a violation.
Maybe I’m overreacting, but this was definitely not the right time. If he wasn’t showing so much (creepy) affection for her already, ig it would be fine then, because then he would just be helping her, but here it seems like it’s for him and not for her.

@rightshift I think it's more for dramatic effect and is pretty common in anime, especially in reincarnation isekai where the "soul" of the character is much older. (See mushoku tensei as a popular example that people seem to have a little less of an issue with, probably because the MC is male.)

So, yeah, I'd say you're overreacting, especially given the context. Best not to be so morally judgmental with art and artists. Makes it hard for everyone to enjoy life when people push so hard against freedom of artistic expression.

The biggest problem with this show so far is that the premise has consistently fallen flat. It provides no actual support for her wanting to be a villainess. It's just a thing she says. She clearly is a hero-type.

I think, perhaps, that the confusion arises because she doesn't want to be an actual villainess, she wants to be the villainess in an otome game, which is really just a romantic competitor you aren't supposed to like. They don't need to be, and often aren't evil, or even moderately bad people. They're just a rival.

So if you come at this as "Alicia wants to be the rival in a specific Otome game" as opposed to "Alicia wants to be an evil person" it fits much better into the plot. She only says she wants to become a villainess because that's how the character she likes is (erroneously) described, and she seems to have become fixated on that outcome for some reason.

It's amusing, to some extent, that the Will character is as confused by Alicia's interpretation of what a villainess is as the rest of us.

Nah man get Duke Diddy off my screen. He been weird with Alicia ever since he met her when she was like 7. Very uncomfortable age gap. It would be different if they were at least close to adults. Even though WE know she’s a reincarnated adult, he doesn’t know that so it’s very weird. That said, I’m sure the show will timeskip it after an episode or so and try to lovey dovey them up lmao.

Other than that weird shit, decent episode. I do agree with what some other people have said about her villainess quest gimmick not really making sense since she clearly wants to be a hero rather than a bad guy. It would be cool to see an actual villainess one of these days, but I guess that doesn’t sell like these?

It is really disheartening to see the situation in Loana though and I’m glad the king showed up at the end so Alicia could give him a piece of her mind. People are starving and fighting over food, while those in the capital get drunk and fat on oversupply. This wealth inequality will inevitably lead to conflict someday. Like seeing that little kid get beat up by grown adults really got me angry man. Defenceless child like that with no one to protect him.. hopefully changes start being made soon, but I’m kinda wondering where the story is actually gonna go with this one. Are we gonna be Kantei Skill 2.0 where that homeless boy recovers and is brought to the castle maybe and Alicia recruits other people.. or is she gonna power thru with brute strength.

Terrible ending to the episode. There is no justification for the guy kissing a 10-year-old girl. Any normal situation would be to put the glass in her mouth, not give it through her mouth.

Why is she a villain? And why that kiss? What a bad anime. It lacks better writing and motivations for the characters, that's all, the animation isn't the best either

And they even add a pedophile to that, honestly the worst anime of this season that I'm following

And, what is this?? Oh, hold up—Wait, what? Ohhh, I get it now—it’s gotta be the meds. He probably had to give it her like that since there was no other way... Guess he didn’t have any other options...

Since the first meeting between prince and MC I sensed pedo vibes... and now in episode 2 the pedo prince acted on them.
Casual culturally approved pedophilia, I guess I am out. Pedo excuse for a kiss, and then a cutesy cookies ending song, ugh.

Back again with the villainess who for the life of herself can't seem to be an actual villainess. The show is still being quite enjoyable if you ask me, no top tier but i've seen way worse. Seeing as this is an otome game world though, things tend not make a whole lot of sense sometimes. How in the world is making an item levitate level 1 magic but moving an item is level 5? I am scared of what level 50+ magic can do...

I am curious who this Mel person(?) is, but my gut feeling tells me they may had something to do with the shelf of magic books suddenly appearing next to Alicia. Hopefully the next episode tells us more about this spooky ghost.

Now i'm no railway engineer, but i don't believe that is the recommended way to administer medicine to patients.
Duke sure had no time to waste, episode 2 and we already have a kiss going??

Okaaaaay, if I’m walking down the street and anyone under 18 collapses with a seizure or cardiac issue and needs resuscitation, I’ll just keep walking and let them die. Adult going near a child = pedo. Got it.

I get that the kiss is uncomfortable. But the whole “we won’t give you a reason you just have to listen to us! We know what’s best for you we swear! I know it looks like we are discriminating against you because you are a girl but I swear we aren’t!” thing just pissed me off! Like. You don’t have to give her the whole reason! But say something like “you are excelling a bit much and that is dangerous!” And. I get that she is 10. But unless you are fucking blind you can see how brilliant and aware she is! She can handle the truth! And her agreeing to wait 5 years when her brothers got to test WAY early just feels stupid! I almost dropped it on that scene alone. This gets one more episode.

Honestly, I doubt that in their culture such an age gap matters, and even from a modern perspective she's objectively much older mentally so it's kind of a grey area, y'all need to get over this and look at the real issue here.

This duke is so freaking dull and such a boring cliche of a romantic interest in shojo, I don't see them being a good pair. She's so amusing, it'd be much more interesting to have someone just as eccentric being matched up with her, but alas, this is what we get.

I gotta say, smooth move there, Duke-sama lol

But seriously, does Alicia not realize that she is actually not being very villainy with her actions? She was an adult in her previous life, right? If she was, I'm pretty sure she'll have a pretty good idea on how villains usually acts. Her wanting to be a super villain just comes across as annoying & she looks like she was trying very hard to be someone she clearly is not.

@Sheol01 Its a 5 year age gap. Story starts with Alicia being ~7 and Duke ~12. As of this episode they are currently Alicia at 10 and Duke at 15/16, it gets worse when you realize the Duke will be 17/18 years old in love with and yearning after a 12 year old.

Very interesting episode, especially at the start with both Duke & Alicia being interested in Laona village.
I guess we will find out who Mel is eventually and what role she will play.
They have given hints in the 1st episode about a possible romance with Alicia & Duke even though he should be with the Heroine.
Looking forward to see what happens next.

I have ADD, ADHD & AUTISM, but this won't stop me. Let's keep having fun together.

It's rather irritating to watch how unnatural they adapted this series. It's like I'm watching a series without any—especially the main character, being fleshed out. She's straying away from her character. 🤔
It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

okay thats a turn for the worse(?) she was just thinking "hmm grimoires" and snap, a bookshelf of them appeared.
also why in the hell did the blue hair boy kiss her :D? she was supposed to drink the medicine so you should have poured it into her mouth not randomly kiss her. maybe it was supposed to be so that he drank it and gave it to her with the kiss but we didnt see him move the cup so there is no way he did that
