Yikes, Yumiella is supposingly powerful enough that other students don't even believe her. Hell, even the school doesn't believe her so they put her in matches to prove herself.

It was a fine episode. Even though Yumiella is protrayed as a serious character, they threw in some cartoony comedic moments for her. Seems everyone will have to keep an eye on her at school now that's really starting.

There's been a lack of powerful and smug protagonists, so watching her destroy everyone is very satisfying

She was trying so hard to mind her own business, but the 3 stooges just had to poke their nose where they aren't supposed to... She was considerate enough to hold back from killing them, but seriously dude, if it were me, Id be in a corner with PTSD.

Delightful. Watching overconfident jerks get put in their place is always so cathartic. I’m not saying there is no chance for their characters to improve or show some personal growth, but it does feel nice to see hubris rewarded thoroughly at this point.

I like this main the way she remains so stoic is really nice to watch especially with those stuck up characters behaving the way they do towards her, i like the way how she doesn't care.
Still will probably be known in the entire city now that she unleashed a large part of her power in a spell.
I am looking forward to what else will happen

It makes me wonder about the detail of this otome game, like is it R-18, does it have harem ending, etc.
The third girl aka the girl in the ED song doens't appear yet, interesting...

Man, I'm so glad this is being adapted but those 3D renders really aren't doing it for me, oof

However, it is nice to see Yumiella show off her abilities, I can't wait for Patrick to get involved, he and Yumi together are the silliest couple and I love it

Also, It's funny how much the ED focuses on Eleanora when I think there's still some time before she becomes actually relevant unless they move some stuff around, but it is great to see her and Yumi in different clothes since I think all of the official art only has them on the Royal Academy uniform :]

I wonder how they concluded that she cheated the measuring tools? Maybe the tool was broken? Or maybe it's just another dumb isekai anime where it makes no difference whether the MC is natural to this world or not.

The fact she was still holding back with that spell at the end is nuts. If she had just created a giant black fireball like Rimuru that would have been enough to convince me. But no, she created a giant black hole that could literally destroy the entire kingdom if it wasn't in the air, and again... she was still holding back...

If she joined Shadow Garden she would say "I am infinite." before using that spell.

She's cute. Love her unapologetic use of dark magic.

The principal is such a dumbass though, fixing the expulsion without even trying to prove anything. If she was a true villainess they'd all be already rightfully doomed.

With the way they're treating her and looking down at her I almost want her to still get kicked out and "revenge" on them for treating her bad.....but I guess that result in being way closer to the "bad end" she's trying to avoid.

Also I feel like the femMC(of the game I mean) is giving off these weird "I'm interested in Yumiella but don't want to be ostracized so I'm going to pretend I dislike her" vibes.
I hope that's not the direction this is going....she needs to stay "in her lane" and leave our girl alone.

I'm disappointed.
I didn't get to see Prince Edwin wet his pants and get the most humiliation in that scene. (I was hoping for something like this, not that I read the series or anything) That would be a load off from annoying our adorable MC. (The Principal is annoying as well)




Btw, Black Hole as a spell is nice. Reminds me of Diab** from How Not to Summon a D. L.

@Ikano There would be no "bad end" if she swallows them all in that thing... 🤣
CrazyButNot4UJan 16, 2024 10:43 AM
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.

It's cool how Yumeilla stays so composed, even with all the drama and those three troublemakers causing a fuss around her.

Classes at the Royal Academy have begun. Edwin, William, Alicia and friends refuse to acknowledge Yumiella's level of 99. Finally, by their hands, Yumiella is expelled from the academy by the headmaster. This is where Yumiella will demonstrate a glimpse of her true abilities.

It felt good seeing William struggle a bit. She really stood up to that arrogant guy and proved her strength. I bet he's going to complain about her cheating soon. Now, onto Oswald – he's like a kid who grew up being called a genius, only to find out in an ivy league that he's just average.

Feel bad for Yumiella. So much for her normal life

♫Black hole sun won't you come and take away the rain?♪

That's going to have repercussions, but at least for the moment the idiot trio is shutdown and shut up. Plus the idiot headmaster. I mean c'mon, his own magic teacher pleaded with him about her being on the level of a court mage but they still tried bulldozing through to expulsion and exile... are the prince and principal really that stupid? Even if it's 'just' on that level she would be valuable at her age!

At least the finale with the prince screaming like a lil b***h after her asking him for his approval was satisfying.

Man, I love this series so much. The adaptation has been solid so far, but I do prefer how Black Hole was portrayed in the manga. Instead of a portal that sucked things in, it was a black sphere that simply devoured everything within its radius. The air was only drawn into the vacuum created by the sphere once it vanished.

They dedicated an entire ED to a character who hasn't even been introduced even lmao.

I don't know it's just me, but Yumiella seemed way more autistic in the manga adaptation, than here tbh. In the anime, she seems more smug lol.

I guess Laios from Dungeon Meshi is getting all the autistic rizz this season lol.

Okayyyy, this episode definitely caught my attention more than the first one. To be real its giving Madoka Magica x WataOshi in my opinion. Like the two main girls having the same hair color and vibe and the fact that it’s dark vs. light magic. It’s got my wheels turning for sure. I hope that blonde girl becomes an ally to Eumiella because I want her to have a friend. I cant wait to see what she is plotting next!

well damn, everyone is a fucking asshole lmao ESPECIALLY the 3 supposed MLs.

Can't wait to see their ass get handed to them more at this point but we'll see if they get a change of mind

My personal opinion is that I don't think it's surprising if Yumiella in the game becomes a hidden boss, because the treatment of other people is bad like that considering the mention of "people on the outskirts", it should be the kingdom that is at fault, even the prince behaves like that, but good job for Yumiella for grinding levels at the point where other people can't put him down anymore, maybe the direction of the storyline is predictable, but I think this is good anyway his straight face really makes me addicted

I would quit this school. I mean, wouldn't you? Imagine if you scored perfect on an exam, and instead of being celebrated, everyone accused you -with no basis whatsoever- of cheating AND bullied you for it. The principal, instead of taking the neutral position and trying to figure out the truth, decided he rather go an extra mile: threatening to expel unless you could prove your innocence, burden of proof be damned.

This school clearly isn't worth the time.

Bit of a hidden gem, this show. Good amount of humor. I'm looking forward to the rest of the season. Her smugness reminds me of that Otome Mob anime and the scene where he gives the nobles a well deserved beatdown.

I did not expect to actually like this anime but it's been going good so far.

This episode had Yumiella prove herself in which she obviously did and some altered events such as Alicia being close with the main trio on the second day. Not a bad episode.

Copium: The episode

Everyone just assuming Yumiella was lying about her level even though the damn skill assessment magic ball displayed it was annoying. If it’s never happened before(ball being wrong), why would it happen now 🤦🏽‍♂️ . Yumiella’s just trying to live a chill life and you got these dweebs hounding her out of jealousy and their own insecurity.

Love how when the three male love interests confront her she’s just like “why don’t you go bother that girl over there and leave me alone” 😂 . The prince, Will and Oz were just in massive denial the entire episode. Hell even the principal couldn’t believe someone was level 99.

She easily beat will’s ass in the sword training class, buddy got beat out of the episode. We didn’t see him again lmao

Shoutout to the teacher standing up for Yumiella in front of the prince and principal. That’s the type of teacher everyone needs. Going to bat for her student, even though they just met.

Don’t blame Yumiella at all for going straight for her most powerful spell. I would’ve destroyed a couple buildings to go along with it. The prince did say he’d take responsibility with that smug face after all 🤷🏾‍♂️ they’ll have to do some character redeeming for me to be able to like him and the two other love interests

Really good episode. Yumiella is a villainess unlike any we’ve seen before and I can’t wait to see where things go

EP 2

Its only been a few hours and already 200 comments. apparently people really want to watch this anime. i dunno man
The first episode was quite literally like a whatever and a cliffhanger. better hope ep 2 is good



And that's the ep. a bit of a cliffhanger. we did see hints of the other characters but otherwise i have no idea.
Oh yeah. She hasnt shown up yet, but hidaka rina is singing the ed with fairouz ai. Maybe next ep I guess. Shrug. Just one moar ep.

In this ep...basically blah blah. Very slow so far, because we spent half of ep 1 on alicia and then ended on a cliffhanger, and this ep was whatever.
Though I doubt the other people are going to be very happy about this.

what i like mostly about her is that she's a Kuudere, she's mature, serious, realistic, has a goal in mind, doesn't play around, straight forward!
also black long hair and black eyes! someone has a really majestic taste in color! i dig this beautiful color!
she's great!
only if the show focuses more at her and starts ignoring the "otome" elements .. our girl is great!
the show currently is giving her and the otome game characters 50 - 50 treatment ... i only enjoy when she flexes hard! she's good! respectful, and simply pretty!

unlike episode 1... where i almost fell asleep waiting for our girl to appear.. this otome game elements are really boring... i get it .. needs some world building and whatnot... but the show's name IS "Villainess Level 99: I May Be the Hidden Boss but I'm Not the Demon Lord"
the story's name is NOT "Heroine: i use light magic and can heal my party, so now the three main guys in an otome game are all over me"
i'm here to see our lovely "Yumiella Darkness ... / Dolkness" ........... as expected .... "Yumiella" is an inside PUN! a female - made up - version of
YUME .. what's YUME?? well......
it's simply ... means "spirit" and it comes from "Yume no seirei" meaning .. a mysterious yōkai in Japanese mythology believed to cause nightmares...
ummm yeah .... technically .... her name is literally "SHE NIGHTMARE" ... WOW!
at first i thought it was a word play on Yomi .. japanese' underworld ... but nope! her name simply means ... "Nightmare" that's what i think...
couldn't find the name in normal search ... if someone else can translate it .. would be good.

I liked this episode a good amount more than the first, mainly because Yumiella is quite hilarious lol, I loved her reactions to getting interrogated or when it came to showing off how strong she was. It was especially great due to the fact she flexed on each of the romantic interests from the game when they were being assholes about her being level 99, i understand that the idea that she’s that strong is ridiculous but they were being pretty mean lol.

And the one that was especially awesome was the black hole attack, that would be damn terrifying to randomly see in the sky, I wonder how they plan to explain that to the public lol, and of course Edwin’s reaction was great afterward paired with Yumiella’s smugness. And we got the ED this episode which was very cute featuring one of the girls we haven’t met yet, her dance with Yumiella near the end of it was especially great, and of course the song was good too.

HAHA, "I am sorry for stealing the spot light, Protag"

And... I WANT MC TO STEP ON ME, while she's giving those smug face looks.

.

Plus, she just "burned" her own family's "noble stature" LOL "Lazy noble that do nothing and just leave everything to the locals" LOL

.

Tho... "This is my first time holding a sword"... huh... so she didn't even use a stick when killing monsters?

The first episode had a rather stupid slip-up going on, but in general this episode smoothed out the personality of the MC a bit more.

The conquerable characters are fucking unbearable. Seemingly mindless puppets lacking the ability to develop a nonbiased opinion. Would not mind if they and that principal got whats coming for them.

Quite a fun watch.

We 2 episodes in and we already got black holes, let's be real that looks something like 20% output too feelscraft wise 💀

It's always satisfying watching stupidly narcissistic and irresponsible noble brats pissing their pants honestly.. especially with what is addressed by someone else as a lack of powerful smug protags, kinda nice they show also though them having both morally good sides albeit to someone not challenging them versus an unacceptable attitude to someone that is "challenging" them

@Franz_Furantsu Yeah, hoping for a Yumiella x Alicia ship and seeing the 3 dorks turn evil from envy both for Yumiella's power and her relationship with Alicia. Sadly this seems very unlikely.

@delirific I agree, Yumiella x Alicia would be a great plot development, the 2 powerful "outsiders" Light and Darkness united and the other stuck up snobbish nobles crawing in rage for their uselessness.
