I'm already not a fan of the villainess isekai genre, but this one felt especially empty to me. I do enjoy characters that have fun acting evil, and our main has that going for her, but I struggled to ever root for her when one of the first things she says was basically "the villainess is right - bullying uppity commoners is good, actually, because they should know their place", which is a wild position to have in the modern day. I then got a bit distracted when they introduced our romantic lead, who appears to be a good 5 years older than our main. As teenagers this would be creepy enough (if she's 15 and off to magic school, he'd already be 20), but he starts following her around and staring at her when she is 8 and he is probably 13, which was a HUGE red flag for me that I don't think I'd be able to get past. It's so bizarre to me because why not just make them the same age?
I'm getting a bit bogged down in these details, but I think that's largely because it didn't seem to have any substance to preoccupy myself with instead. It seems like the main draw for the show is to see her have fun trying to be evil, but that really isn't enough for me. I give the premiere a 1/5
I agree, blue boy is giving me icky vibes and I almost quit the show before the end of the episode. I'll maybe give it one more episode if I'm bored but it's honestly too straight romance focused and thus falls into a lot of the "are the straights ok" pitfalls of icky stuff portrayed as normal and romantic even.
