The Weakest Manga Villainess Wants Her Freedom!

An interesting take on the villainess isekai genre. Unlike the typical flow of villainess turning nice after remembering her past life, the main character, Elle, still retains a large portion of her personality. She's a tsundere who loves saying her own brand of catchphrases, she's aware of how cute she is, and she still kidnaps (miserable) people in the hope of giving them a better life. There's also not a lot of past life recollections aside from her knowledge of the manga, which gives more focus on the fantasy world. The vibe is very much like if Disgaea is given a novel form.

At first I thought this would be another slow life story, but the plot actually goes way deeper than I expected. The pacing and sequence can be a bit all over the place at times, but it ties up everything nicely in the end.
