Heroine? Yeah, no.

Description

ISEKAI TITLE - It seems I've been reincarnated as a heroine in another world. Yeah, how about no?

IMPORTANT NOTES - While the story is not allergic to wholesome moments, I would like you to understand that this is the story of a villain, not an anti-hero protagonist. Depression, psychopathy, dark themes, uncensored violence, horriffic suggestive themes; these are all a mainstay of the series. I would strongly advise anyone who wants to experience "Dr. Feelgood" to go look elsewhere.

Summary - Kamiyama Nori is many things; a bully, a delinquent, gamer and fanatic of all things martial. What she is not however, is anyone's 'hero', and she will do everything she can to rid herself of that title, even if it means the deaths of many, many other people. Her jaded, manipulative and opportunistic nature, combined with a 'noble', divine birthright is bound to quake the hearts of any whom would dare to stand in her way, good and evil alike.

i like the premise of an Evil MC that is actually Evil and not an Anti hero and so far you have delivered. i hope the cast extends a bit now that she is in the city and includes other POVs maybe more time with her Friend she made that is a nice character or the cat receptionist.

I guess giving this a all-star treatment isn't really fair, but I want to see this novel go far so bite me. Props to author for originality?
Anyway...
To put things in perspective, Isekai are often written in a way that depicts a social outcast in our world being accepted by a fantasy world as part of either normal or top class society through their god-given talents, obsessive training, etc, but while this work for people who just want to read casual wish fulfilment, it grows quite stale really quickly for everyone else.
In that regard, I want to say that this novel is (so far) perfect for people who are sick and tired of regular isekai.
The reasons for this are many-fold, ranging from the fact that the reincarnated main character responds to becoming part of an entirely different species and culture in a sane and logical manner, which is to say that she adapts to it rather than pushing supposed human superiority onto her new friends and family. This isn't really a surprise, as Anne (the main character) isn't the regular loner/social outcast that most isekai characters tend to be, but a formerly "normal" person from our world transported into another suddenly and then granted divine powers.
She reacts to these news is what is a perfectly reasonable way too, as she starts out completely terrified of her situation with much of the first chapter dealing with her doing her best to keep her own sanity. Being given great power also serves to transform Anne from a normal person into a power-drunk, egoistical monstrosity bound by the societal values and norms of her current race.
Depth is added to the character through the fact that her human memories still exist, which makes her feel constantly imperfect and inappropriate, which is doubly damaging considering her newfound social status. She pushes and punishes herself hard, but does not expect the same from people she cares about, while treating others as either food or dogshit.
I'll take this moment to praise the Authors

I really like this story, and the prologue is the best part. More than anything I'm excited for how Anne (The main character) develops as a person, but I'll get to that soon.
Style: Usually when people use the word 'evil' on RR they mean 'antihero'. Anne is a truly bad person, someone evil, who does bad things because she can. This is shown through the setting super well, both for characterization and as a functional setting. Things make sense and are fun to read through.
Story: The true blue story hasn't quite kicked in yet, there's been a lot of build up, but I'm already fairly invested. We've got motivation, background, a clear objective, and it's all working together well... Really what more can you ask for?
Grammar: I'm bad at rating grammar. I've read so much bad fanfiction that I just pass over misspelled words. Anyways, I noticed nothing. Moving on.
Characters: Here's the gold! Now, Anne, the person we learn most about, is a bundle of issues, real cold and a total psycho, but written out you can sort of get her mindset. It's warped from standard human ideas. Ideas like 'murder is bad' just slide off of her. This kind of thing is hard to write, for real, but here it's written well enough that you can just sink into it. It's kind of odd to read about murder for the sake of itself and be like "Yeah, that seems normal", but there's enough background and character development involved that it just works.
Besides the evil we've got some some strong side characters as well. Anne's twin sister and grandpa are the most memorable to me, her sister especially. Her twin is probably more moral than Anne, though with warped morality in the picture take that with a grain of salt, and Anne's grandpa is a cool guy who's got a lot of power in the background and someone who really clicks with Anne.
There's some other family, like Anne's mother, involved, but no truly notable side characters outside of family and a couple one-off characters (an orc named Grunt and a bookkeeping

I loved the making of a monster in the prologue. It leaves me hyped for the mess she will create when she is unleached upon the world.
The story tells the journey of Anne. She is reborn with power and recognition. Yet, the most important person of all -- her -- is left doubting her own role and nature. She set sails to build her own identity.
Of course, you can completly ignore the MC human insecurities and just enjoy the mayhem on her path. But you might as well enjoy the whole package and understand why people die.
Fair warning though, this is Joyde's story. So expect at some point: uncensored violence, crazy lore and plot twists.

★★ 2.0
This novel firmly fits into the power fantasy genre and seems like it tries to stand out with the protagonist being as "evil" as possible.
How evil the MC is is shown with her apathy and racism towards all humans.
The characters feel very unrealistic and 2-dimensional, and often obviously only there to show how powerful/evil the MC is.
Info-dumps are frequent, and due to the MC's ability, they often aren't even dialogue.
The grammar is good, and I didn't spot any jarring mistakes.
The story often makes fun of the edgy isekai stereotype despite falling into the category itself, making the whole thing even stranger.
Maybe there will be more character development later in the story, but I wouldn't pick this story up without a rewrite.
