| Alicia showed her intelligence at the academy. No wonder eyes were on even if some are envious of her talents. I love how she stands her ground regardless how many eyeballs are on her. I kinda wish they made me care more about the male cast though. Outside of Duke, they just seem to be there. |
 |
| Liz continues be sus, who knows if she's really the heroine cause we never got to see the face of the heroine from the game. Could be a reincarnate just like Alicia or a true villain. The kidnapping is probably done by that blonde dude or some Liz blind followers. Why's there a picture missing from the gallery? Whose picture was it? Sweet moment between Alicia and Duke again. |

I wouldn’t put it past Liz to be inadvertently using some form of brain altering magic. No one turns against their siblings because they think a naive girl would be an easy lay.
| @ajw215799 yeah, like a passive skill she has no control over it. |
| It's kinda funy that Alicia always wondering why certain things have changed (a lot) in the game, like Prince Duke falling in love for example. I thought by now she would've figurd it out lol |

| This moment totally caught me off guard 😧—I didn’t see it coming at all! When Alicia showed up in that warehouse, it felt like I was in a movie. I got so wrapped up in the story that I thought it would keep going, but then... boom, it was the end of the episode </3. Now until next week! But honestly, I really love Alicia’s role in the series <3 she's amazing I have to say that seeing her in that scene left me wanting to defend Alicia—I was like, "noooo!!". It was tough seeing her get caught off guard like that for me   |

| It's always fun to see everytime Alicia showing that girl her place. A war is too much to expect from a shoujo but atleast some politicing time to time is nice. Atleast one of Alicia's brother has a functioning dick. I mean it's unbelievable how can your berate your own sister for a randomass girl. Makes the magic theory even more belivable. Or maybe they are just simps. I am sure nothing will happen but I hope Alicia expose and punish responsible for this kidnapping. |

| Alicia was such a bad ass today. I’m loving how she’s embracing that villain role properly, but I am starting to wonder if Liz might actually be the big bad here lol. It is very unnatural how drawn everyone is to her and every scene with her feels so fake. Henri has started to notice it as well. Like she’s got everyone wrapped around her finger and seems to relish it. Also, she’s a commoner right? So surely she’d think it was weird for all these nobles to be hanging with her lmao but she doesn’t even bat an eye. It’ll be interesting to see what Alicia finds out when she reads the ancient texts. I like how hard Alicia tries to be the villainess like when Vanessa came to her about helping the village be self sufficient and Alicia is like “oh why would I do that for free” and vanessa has to negotiate a way that it would be mutually beneficial lmao. Bless their hearts Still could do without the nonce prince and the romance subplot, episodes be going so well till he shows up 😭 but whoever was dumb enough to kidnap Alicia and gill is gonna be in big trouble next ep. Can’t wait |

| This episode covers up to the first half of chapter 11 of the manga. I'm curious how far they will go and how much content they'll squeeze in since we have 8 more episodes while the OP hinting that the show might go beyond the manga progression. |

| So now we have the mystery of either Liz using that spell to control everyone unconsciously or if she is actively doing it, I like more the stories where they become friends : ( |
| ok this show is getting interesting finally |
 |
| Liz's simps are so annoying that they flocked around her as if it was her idea all along. At least some people are starting to see that Alice is the one with real intelligence: Henri, her brother, finally came to his senses. The theory that Liz is manipulative isn't that far-fetched. In Alice's flashbacks of the saint in the game, the saint's face is hidden and her hair color is different. Maybe Liz is also a reincarnated person taking advantage of her powers - the classic twist where the supposed villain is actually the good guy and the hero is the real villain. The king's brother thing also surprised me. Could it be some kind of power grab? Things are getting really interesting. |
 |
| Alicia is succeeding as a villainess as school. Interesting how Henri is changing compared to the original story. That was a good back and forth at the tea party. We may have unlocked some kind of surprising special bonus story at the end, what a plot twist. |
| I have ADD, ADHD & AUTISM, but this won't stop me. Let's keep having fun together. VTUBER LIVE STREAMS YouTube/Twitch/Kick/Rumble/Twitter = https://linktr.ee/dolfunthedolphinvtuber ANIME REVIEWS - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3agtBvVDdHFzXbqPV47c-A  |
| Did not see that kidnapping coming. What a cliffhanger. I'm curious to see how she gets out of this. |
| Alicia talks about realpolitik. I love it. Also, she is kidnapped because she's the real heroine of the story right now. ETA: The king's brother will definitely play a role in the story, a final boss perhaps who is working in another kingdom. This is Chekhov's Gun here. It'll be a shame if he doesn't appear this season and we're not sure if there will be a season 2. |
| Liz is sounding and looking more pathetic with her over the top attempt at being sugary sweet, innocent and all for peace loving Saint. Will Prince Duke come to her and Gill's rescue, I wonder... |
       |
| Alicia is so cute ♡ I loved her outfit in this episode and I like to see how she debates everything to Liz ₍ᐢ. ̫.ᐢ₎ I wasn’t expecting the plot at the end! Idk if I can wait to another episode ʕ – ᴥ – ʔ |

it takes 15 minutes to boil an egg in water
it takes 15 minutes for instant noodles to cook inside boiling water before consumption
and with the current slower than a snail pacing ... it'll take at least 10 seasons for anything to happen..
if every season is 13 episodes.
this story is trying too hard to explain in nano sized details every single pixel on the screen.
5 episodes in and nothing happened at all. when it comes to romance comedy.. it's a very very VERY slow boil..
if we took the egg as the "progression" and the "filler details" as the 15 minutes timer... it will take the "egg" metaphor to boil and be done for eating ..
if you have good luck.. at east 20 years. the story refuses to progress. an army of disabled snails CAN and WILL outrun it, and win the race, by 20 years!
DROP.
shows like these follow a pattern ..
season 1 introduce the main character
season 2 introduce the heroine
season 3 build up the conflict
season 4 teach the main character her mcguffen
season 5 develop the otome / romance
season 6 build up rivalry
season 7 start the actual conflict
season 8 start heating things
season 9 the main character reaches her limit
season 10 finish the story
first 3 episodes of each season carry 10% progress .. and the last 10 episodes are filler.
i'm right now listening to the episode in the background.. that's how uninterested i am
this show is very boring.. it's perfect to play it when you wish to sleep!
you'll sleep very quickly in fact!
came seeking how the main character would become a villainess and how powerful she'll become , seeking all the "bad things" she'll do..
5 episodes in and she's merely arguing with the heroine .. 5/13 ... 8 episodes left.. what will you do with 8 episodes? will you pull out a deus ex machina move and change the entire plot with a single unjustified event?? boring.

| @Kurtadam13 I can't blame you for being impatient it is very slow. I feel like they just wanna fill some empty slot rather than geniunely making a good anime |
RedChromeOct 30, 9:38 AM
| A lot of hate for Liz lol Well I understand she can be like that in at first but give her time she will become better |
RedChromeOct 30, 10:17 AM
| They let Alicia cook again this episode, I think I liked this “battle” more than the first one, mainly because it wasn’t simply Liz being cooked, but her being criticized and then led into a proper solution which made her look better, Alicia can’t do a better job as Liz’ watcher than that. And although the lads around Liz still see her as perfect and can do no wrong after that, Alicia did kinda break the ice with them here, she proposed something they couldn’t fight back against which stumped them, I think she might be on her way to breaking them out of this spell they’re under, which is most definitely the case because of what Henri said about Alan. And speaking of Henri, I’m glad he became a bro after he broke free from the spell, I like him so far and hope that he remains an ally for Alicia. It’s also nice to see Rebecca’s glowup after Alicia saved her, she’s looking real cute now, but if she’s working with Alicia she’s gotta learn how to deal with a villainess lol. And damn that ending tho, what is it with these types of shows and the MC getting kidnapped lol, but it’s looking real bad for her now, we know she’s capable so she isn’t simply a damsel in distress, but I’m wondering how she’ll get out of this. |
| Liz becoming more like one of them innocent protags where she's secretly conniving. |
 |
| i think i like this show more than the do over damsel one. ive always wished for a villainness show where the villainness is actually being mean even though it seems like this will end up that everyone turns to her side anyway |

| LOL, I love that mini-Alicia jumping around explaining what everyone is like based on Alicia's POV. AND more Duke pretty much overpowering Alicia. She's pretty much a little lamb in front of him, she tries to lead, but gets lead instead. . Alicia's big bro's gonna die of laughing at Alicia saying she wants to be a villainess. Tho it's kinda funny how Alicia seems to be intelligent, while being somewhat "bird brained"... as she doesn't notice some other stuff that's related to herself. . And... RIP... Gil did in fact become Alicia's weakness. Da bro was right. |
| Nothing Written Here But Us Anime Bunnies *boing boing boing* |
| This show gets better every week! |
| 4/5, I honestly laughed a bunch. It's still crazy, what has it been, 6 years she's been dedicated to being just like the video game she played a lot? She's stacking all the inconsistencies from the game together and then BAM kidnapping. You ain't in Kansas anymore girlie. Finn is kinda cute being kinda golden retriever like. King is repetitively big fan of Alicia as is the Duke. |
  |
| Liz is probably using a blessing, not magic. Which is why nobody detects it or realizes it. Nice setup to the next ep. |
| Alicia has stirred the embers of hope in Roana. It's amusing that pretty much all those who come to know Alicia see she's just putting on a tough face. Even Jill had to say as much to Rebecca. The plot is definitely off the rails now, full blown conversations, character changes and new scenarios have been undergone. Lets just hope kidnapping isn't classified as a bad ending! |
 |
| Yes, after all that strength training, sword drills, and tough talk, our villainess still got kidnapped like a helpless princess. I had a feeling they were going to bungle it—just pathetic. |
| Henri has awoken from the Liz slumber! I'm glad Becca asked for some crops to become self sufficient! I love the way the king praised Alicia in front of everyone. Then of course Alicia had to butt in and add some useless commentary. If it weren't for Alicia, Liz would've never come up with that answer. And yet all of Liz's simps praise her lmao Oh shit, what Henri said to Gill is a foreshadowed tip I really hope Duke comes and saves them <3 but kinda disappointing that she wasn't able to use her skills she spent so much time learning /: |
