| 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. |

| This will probably be my favourite trash isekai of the season |

I’m sorry, but how old is the duke??
That
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.
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…

| @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. |
| bruh the kiss, she Is 10 💀 Leaving that aside the show Is ok I guess, kinda average. |

| Duke Cosby kissing an unconscious 10 year old... |
| 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. |

I love this character.  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...  |

| I love how Alicia tries so hard to be evil, yet so far she has been the opposite of it... |

| 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?? |

| I'm here to complain about how bad the horses are. |
| because kissing is so much more safe and effective than just pouring it down her mouth lmfao |
 |
| What the fuck? It was going okay until that happened. smh |
| This is hilarious |
| The duke has been so creepy throughout these 2 episodes, and to top it off with a kiss 🤨. I only hope this show gets better. |
| Will is a saint, I had no idea Hondo Kaede was going to be in this show so that's another plus, Alicia performed well as a villainess in front of of the king. |
| 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. |

| last scene was totally unnecessary lol, just put the glass to her mouth bro lmfao their age is not the problem since the duke is 13 and she is 10 but still, consent. Atleast do it when shes conscious... |

| 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. |
       |
| I see she still hasn't used a dictionary to look up villain. |
Reply to Sheol01
@Kitsune_089 Um, Duke is his name. That guy is the PRINCE my man. Only 3 years? Still, yeah, not OK.
| @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. |
| My tongue is itchy... |
| 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. |

| 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 |
