    Villainess Level 99 - Volume 4. After the insanity of Volume 3 this feels almost too low-key in comparison, save for a couple moments. It was fun, make no mistake, but after establishing what got established on Volume 3 it feels slightly disappointed that it’s not explored. HOWEVER, Yumiella’s antics remain delightful, and the idea that the level-measuring crystals have the equivalent of the Y2K problem tickles me immensely 😂

    Spoilers up to and including Volume 4, plus the published description of Volume 5

    After having established a multiverse, defeating what likely counts as a multiversal deity, rewinding back a year of time in a parallel world to save it, and having our gal break the level cap and freely travel between worlds, having a couple days of misunderstandings so that she meets her new brother in law feels a bit of a let down, intensified by the announcement of the argument of the next book being political plays in the royal capital, and not Yumiella’s Multiverse of Madness, but having this start because she decided “I’m gonna jump to the moon!” after getting angry at Patrick is so damn fitting! 😂

    Yet again seeing the train of thoughts of this idiot completely devoid of common sense, that nevertheless believes she has an overabundance of it is still fascinating, like seeing the mind of an alien at work 😂

    Also extremely fitting that she goes full-on Third Impact at the idea that she’s weak and/or low level 😂

    Of note: Lemm’s comments and what she caught on the side of her vision while jumping establishes that at some point we’re going to the moon, she couldn’t physically jump to get there but there’s a way to do so, and there was something there, i doubt it will be rabbits pounding mochi but knowing the Japanese it might well be, or something on those lines.

    As an aside, we have no idea of her current level, guessing about a couple thousand or so, she recovered her memories at age 5 and her comments on Volume 3 mention she stopped leveling at age 7 yet continued to level-grind until entering the academy. Then she defeated first Yumiella 2 then the God of Evil. And now she has kept grinding even more.
