  It's likely that anyone on this site has already come across a number of "Villainess" stories.  There are many standard tropes with this genre and a fair number can be found in this story.  What can also be found is the author's love for this type of storytelling.  I hope the author continues with this story and benefits from the feedback and suggestions that they have requested from the readers.
  Style: I would describe this story as a relaxing read.  The author has included many details for the reader that are subtle and not recognized by the MC as this story utilizes an unreliable narrator.  The MC in their original life never applied themselves to study or self-improvement as they relied on their appearance and position in life.  This causes issues with her determination in this second life to make money and secure her own future.  Likewise her superficial view of others caused her to miss out on details and motivations leading to misconceptions.  The MC is already experiencing the beginnings of character growth and I expect them to become much sharper as the story develops.
  Grammar: Occasional grammatical or spelling errors but still readable.  Reader feedback and suggestions should alleviate the issues and this score could rise in the future.
  Story: The plot is fairly compelling as you follow the MC taking their second run of life.  The MC is no genius and has no grand plots, just a vague idea of avoiding the misfortune of their first life.  They resolve to make enough money to live on but quickly find that it is not as simple as they originally expected.  The issues revolve around the expected challenges of being so young and the need for the MC to pursue some self-improvement and applying themselves to practical studies.
  Character: For many of the primary characters you quickly get a sense of their personality.  The MC has been chastened by their past life and has become much less self-centered as a result.  This is shown in their interactions with others and

  For anyone into villainess stories and doesn't mind a youngish protagonist, I'd recommend this.
  The author does slip in tidbits of world building without being overbearing. Little snippets that lead to later events. It makes it an easy read to get into.
  The grammar is pretty good, I've only noticed the occasional error.
  The story is a bit early on to say a whole lot about it. So far it's nothing groundbreaking, but it's still enjoyable. I do like the focus on saving family over finding a romantic partner. The main character is very young. Hopefully there will be some time skips or I'm not sure how the romance can progress any time soon. Which honestly it's okay for it to be a slow burn, but at 11 years old, that's a far ways out.
  The main character I would say is the strong point of this story. She's a flawed and sheltered 18 year old who went back in time to her 11 year old body. She makes realistic mistakes and learns from them. Her parents raised her rotten, but after hardship in her past life, she was able to empathize with others. A lot of the side characters are fleshed out too. Not much insight into the main lead yet, but that's probably for the better considering how young they are.
  The main downfall of this series is that it's good enough to lament the mediocre update speed. But slow and steady is better than never. Keep up the good work author!

  A nice story. Our 18 yo protagonist is reincarnaten back into her 11yo body. Though this not one of the stories where the protagonist has in depth knowledge about everything and plays a puppet master, but rather just a still young girl trying her best to prevent her family's downfall, which works together with her characterisation to make her rather endearing.
  I haven't noticed any dealbreaking grammar or spelling mistakes and the chapter lengths are alright.
