A very interesting story from the point of view of a girl who has thus far lived through a life of neglect and abuse from her parents。 The first time around， she snapped， and gave into her rage and hurt when her father presented her with his "Happy Family" （his mistress and affair child） the same week her abusive mother died。 A family she clearly is not a part of。 Now that time has rewound she realizes that all that rage and lashing out got her nowhere。 Her parents never loved her， nor will they A very interesting story from the point of view of a girl who has thus far lived through a life of neglect and abuse from her parents。 The first time around， she snapped， and gave into her rage and hurt when her father presented her with his "Happy Family" （his mistress and affair child） the same week her abusive mother died。 A family she clearly is not a part of。 Now that time has rewound she realizes that all that rage and lashing out got her nowhere。 Her parents never loved her， nor will they ever， so she's given up and is just trying to survive until she can escape them。I found Violette incredibly relatable in her pain， and like Marin & Yulan， hope to see her find a happy future。 One free of her horrible family。 Her coming to terms with her younger sister not being at fault for their parent's actions， but still not being able to love her or want to be around her is also relatable and I understand those complicated feelings。 Looking forward to reading the second book。 。。。more

Content warning for this volume: emotional abuse， （view spoiler）[possibly sexual as well （hide spoiler）]， and a potential love interest who displays manipulative and controlling qualities。Violette is in prison for a crime she has， out of jealousy， committed against her half-sister Maryjune。 She has come a long way and now deeply regrets her actions。 She wishes she could go back in time and live a quiet life， bothering no one， but she knows that's impossible。 Except suddenly that's exactly what h Content warning for this volume: emotional abuse， （view spoiler）[possibly sexual as well （hide spoiler）]， and a potential love interest who displays manipulative and controlling qualities。Violette is in prison for a crime she has， out of jealousy， committed against her half-sister Maryjune。 She has come a long way and now deeply regrets her actions。 She wishes she could go back in time and live a quiet life， bothering no one， but she knows that's impossible。 Except suddenly that's exactly what happens - from one moment to the next， time rewinds itself and she finds herself once again being introduced to her father's new wife （his former mistress） and his half-daughter （who was conceived while Violette's mother was still alive）。This time， Violette is determined to make it through the next two years without causing harm。 After she graduates， she wants to join a convent and spend the rest of her life quietly atoning for the sins she committed in her other timeline。 Her feelings of guilt are too great for her to contemplate any other future。 However， it won't be easy to accomplish her goal。 While she no longer blames Maryjune for anything or wants to harm her， she can't will away the pain that Maryjune's presence causes her， and she can't change the kind of person she is。 Still， she tries hard to do better this time around， and her efforts don't go unnoticed。 If she's lucky， maybe it will be enough。I had no idea what I was getting into when I started this。 The title and cover make it look and sound like at least half a dozen other "villainess trying to make things right/avoid a bad end" romances out there， and apparently the author originally intended it to be a rom-com。 I figured this would basically be Accomplishments of the Duke's Daughter without the isekai "reborn in my favorite otome game" element。What I got instead was an introspective character-focused drama that was more concerned with the characters' various emotional wounds and insecurities than with romance （although I absolutely expect future volumes to focus on romance more， and I'm very nervous about the direction the series might take）。 I assumed Prince Claudia would the cold and arrogant type who'd gradually warm up to Violette。 Instead， he was surprisingly awkward and lacking in self-confidence。 Yulan appeared to be the cute younger brother type， the one who always knew how to get Violette to relax。 However， （view spoiler）[this turned out to be an act - the real Yulan was kind of horrifying， and reminded me strongly of Toma in the otome-game based anime Amnesia。 （For those who haven't played the game or watched the series: Toma is a reassuring childhood friend-type love interest whose obsession with the heroine reaches the point where he literally drugs and cages her。 Yulan actually thinks to himself that he'd like to lock Violette up so that he can keep her to himself， so my fears are not unjustified。） （hide spoiler）] And Violette。。。wow。 Her parents were monstrous。 I don't care how Violette's mother behaved towards Auld， her father， it didn't excuse the way he neglected her and then treated her like one of Maryjune's accessories。 And Violette's mother was a sick and twisted woman。 When Auld abandoned her in favor of his mistress， she raised Violette as a boy （view spoiler）[in order to have a mini-Auld by her side - there were indications that her behavior towards Violette was possibly sexually as well as emotionally abusive （on-page: the way she caressed Violette and made her respond to the name Auld deeply disturbed a character who witnessed it）。 When Violette hit puberty， her mother cast her off in disgust and then basically willed herself to die in a last-ditch effort to get Auld to care about her。 （hide spoiler）]The writing didn't initially appeal to me， except for the fact that it was third person POV。 Lots of descriptions of the characters' feelings with very little action。 But then the characters started interacting more， and it became clear that several of them were extremely screwed up。 I found myself unable to look away - part of it was a kind of literary rubbernecking， and part of it was that I actually started to get emotionally invested in the characters。 Here's hoping the author has other plans for Yulan than to make him Violette's top love interest， because she deserves better。 And I really want to know what's going on between Yulan and Claudia （half brothers， maybe？）， whether Claudia will manage to grow as a person the way he seems to want to， and whether the painfully naive Maryjune will ever realize the harm she unintentionally inflicts upon Violette。I'm still not entirely sure this was an enjoyable read， but it was definitely an interesting one。 So far there hasn't been much of a plot - I'm hoping that Soratani isn't the sort of author who writes interesting characters but then has no idea what to do with them。 At any rate， I definitely plan to continue reading this series， but I'm very nervous about where it might go。 It could either be amazing， or a completely horrifying brain bleach-requiring disaster。Extras:Black and white illustrations throughout， and a short afterword by the author。 She hates Violette's father （yay！） but seems to like Yulan （ehhh）。 Hopefully she likes his desire to support Violette but recognizes that he'd be an extremely unhealthy love interest for her。 Crossing my fingers。（Original review posted on A Library Girl's Familiar Diversions。） 。。。more

I am interested with the premise but the writing made it impossible for me to go through with it。 I am extremely forgiving when it comes to writing style and have read other light novels that suffers from bad writing， but I just can't read this one without cringing。 I am interested with the premise but the writing made it impossible for me to go through with it。 I am extremely forgiving when it comes to writing style and have read other light novels that suffers from bad writing， but I just can't read this one without cringing。 。。。more

Interesting storyStarted off with her in prison apologizing and being sorry。 Never telling who she hurt what harm （kill or hurt） she caused to end up in prison。 So far the story is interesting， the only problem is the next book takes to long to come out sometimes。 I hope that things get a little better for her in the next book and that she starts to like her sister better。

A dark and depressing subversion of the 'Reincarnated as a Villainess' genreProbably owing to the success of My Next Life as a Villainess， there have been a number of other series with same basic premise。 Unlike the vast majority of those however， this is not a comedy。 The MC （before reincarnating） did not become a villainess because she was spoiled by loving parents like those other series。 She became that way because she was subjected to so much emotional and physical （possibly even sexual） ab A dark and depressing subversion of the 'Reincarnated as a Villainess' genreProbably owing to the success of My Next Life as a Villainess， there have been a number of other series with same basic premise。 Unlike the vast majority of those however， this is not a comedy。 The MC （before reincarnating） did not become a villainess because she was spoiled by loving parents like those other series。 She became that way because she was subjected to so much emotional and physical （possibly even sexual） abuse at the hands of her parents that she was literally driven insane。 Seriously， it's a wonder this girl can even function。 All of the other characters are also flawed in their own ways。 This makes for a very interesting story， and I look forward to later volumes in this series。 。。。more

Amazing characters with an interesting take on moralityMy kiddo’s review: This book is by far one of the best I've read in a while， the main character is complex and conflicted， she's done terrible things but you still want to route for her。 The way she realized her wrong doings is realistic and sympathetic。 Every character has their own idea of what's right and wrong， making each unique and interesting。 The book does get a bit heavy at times， but I mean this as a compliment， I believe they hand Amazing characters with an interesting take on moralityMy kiddo’s review: This book is by far one of the best I've read in a while， the main character is complex and conflicted， she's done terrible things but you still want to route for her。 The way she realized her wrong doings is realistic and sympathetic。 Every character has their own idea of what's right and wrong， making each unique and interesting。 The book does get a bit heavy at times， but I mean this as a compliment， I believe they handle the whole story very well。 Highly recommend to any fan of the "Reincarnated Villainess" trope， even if this situation is a bit different。 。。。more

Good， but hard to readI do not mean this was not well-written。 In fact， this was very well-written， but the subject matter made it hard to read。 I felt myself tearing up multiple times throughout reading this， and it was painful。 The FL has a terribly sad backstory， but it does not end there。 I don’t think the FL has ever had a time in her life where she was truly happy and carefree。 It hurts reading it because you just want her to break free from her family and be as happy as she possibly can b Good， but hard to readI do not mean this was not well-written。 In fact， this was very well-written， but the subject matter made it hard to read。 I felt myself tearing up multiple times throughout reading this， and it was painful。 The FL has a terribly sad backstory， but it does not end there。 I don’t think the FL has ever had a time in her life where she was truly happy and carefree。 It hurts reading it because you just want her to break free from her family and be as happy as she possibly can be。 The love interests are。。。 troublesome。 Yulan is obsessive and mildly terrifying， but he truly cares for her。 But knowing her backstory， it becomes hard to ship her with someone who is obsessive。 Then there is the prince， who pisses off the reader immediately after he appears。 He is much more incompetent than I expected him to be。It was a very good book that was written well， but it might be a tough read mentally。 。。。more

A serious take that explores depressionI went into this expecting it would be similar to the majority of other Villainess titles。 Instead I was surprised to find that this is a much more serious take on the material。 It doesn't feature much of the over the top Shoujo elements， instead getting really heavy at points。In particular， the protagonist shows multiple signs of depression。 Despite getting to go back and relive a part of her life， the ramifications and effects of the old one have still ta A serious take that explores depressionI went into this expecting it would be similar to the majority of other Villainess titles。 Instead I was surprised to find that this is a much more serious take on the material。 It doesn't feature much of the over the top Shoujo elements， instead getting really heavy at points。In particular， the protagonist shows multiple signs of depression。 Despite getting to go back and relive a part of her life， the ramifications and effects of the old one have still taken their toll on her （and her mental state）。I'm really interested for the next volume。 。。。more
