The Gentle Breaking of a Failed Villainess - By Yamamoto Tomomitsu (9/10)
The plot twist here is...the plot? This looks like a simple love story with some kidnapping and class differences and unavoidable arranged marriages. Our protagonist spends her entire life as a servant, but then there's a grand reveal at the end. It actually caught me off guard.
Stella hates her savior. Her family lost everything. Her father fled the country, but he's most likely dead. Her mom died of an illness. She lost her servants. Her status, and her doting parents.
The noble man who arrested her loving father takes her in as a servant. Most likely out of guilt, because her poor family was innocent.
It doesn't go well. The family heir, Michel, has kidnapped her...and she has no friends. Her peasant status is a joke. Her family is gone, and she lives in this weird limbo.
She clearly doesn't belong.
She didn’t fit in.
Even the maids are higher on the social ladder. Michel, the son of the man who stole her glamorous life, was her only friend. She has trouble seeing him as a friend, because of her burning resentment.
Her feelings are quite complicated.
Michel was supposed to marry the ideal bride. Stella was the butt of the joke the whole time. In this universe nobles must marry to inherit their title. Anna is the right woman in every way, but then Stella wakes up with Michel.
In a mysterious mansion.
Michel isn't actually her meek and sweet friend. He's been waiting for the chance to catch her.
Being the heir of Duke Schwech kinda sucks. He was depressed for ages, and Stella was his only friend too. Stella wants to leave so Michel can grow up...but he won't let that happen.
We get some details. Michel used to be a mousy, unpopular brat before he got handsome. He used to be the joke, before Stella. He knows praise from other nobles is basically worthless. He knows he can trust Stella to care about him, as a person, because she was decent to him...even though she has always resented him.
He knows about her revenge plot, but he loves her.
She can't help it.
She wants that sweet revenge.
Destroying his future with love is an easy way to get it.
Marrying a peasant is a one-way ticket to becoming a peasant.
Michel has been lying. He claims he is searching for the lost Stella, even though he is the one who stole her.
His family reputation is in tatters, because he keeps delaying his perfect marriage.
He's about to lose everything.
Michel's fiance sends assassins after him in a fit of rage. She expected a perfect hot husband, but he ignores her. Anna wants him to die for disrespecting her.
Stella jumps into harms way to instinctively protect Michel, even though he's strong, because she does love him.
Being abused by the maids just kinda messed her up, ok?
It's understandable.
Boom.
She's the princess.
A "missing" princess.
Dukw Schwech was her father's vassal.
That's why she was saved and protected in his household, with a cushy job.
I assume she will marry Michel and gain a kingdom in part 2.
You know, I feel it’s ironic that the current isekai female stories I read nowadays have badass girl bosses as the protagonists, meanwhile my favorite of them all and the one that got me into the genre in the first place is Katarina Claes, the OG lovable dumbass of a protagonist. She’s just too adorable for this world. 😔🫶
(I have a feeling that if Katarina was in a room with these protagonists, like Melissa Podebrat and Penelope Eckart, they’d probably treat her as the surrogate younger sister that needs protection and that headcanon just makes me want to melt-)
(She’d be perfect sugary therapy for these two, especially for poor Penelope)
