Akuyaku Reijou no Igai na Nouryoku The Villainess's Unique Ability: I Don't Wanna Die, So I'm Gonna Use the "Power of Knowledge" to Dodge Every Death Event 悪役令嬢の意外な能力〜死にたくないのでチートスキル 「識る力」をつかってすべての破滅フラグを回避させていただきます〜

In a world that resembles an otome game, the villainess is determined to rewrite her fate! Iris Gray, the daughter of a duke in the Kingdom of Calm, was living the life of a typical noble lady… until one day, she suddenly regained memories of her past life. There, she realized she had once played a famous romance game — and now, she had been reincarnated as the villainess, destined to be executed for harassing the heroine known as “the Savior.” With death looming as her scripted ending, Iris resolves to avoid her tragic fate at all costs. Her first step? Breaking off her engagement to Prince Elliot, the key figure in her downfall. But there’s a catch — Elliot is so in love with her that he outright refuses to let her go. Amid this inner and outer turmoil, a hidden power awakens within Iris — a unique magical gift called “Perception,” which grants her complete control over all forms of magic! With this newfound ability, Iris realizes she may finally hold the key to reshaping her destiny… and preventing the execution scene that awaits her in the game’s original plot. Can a so-called villainess truly survive and write herself a new ending? A tale of romance, fantasy, and a brave rebellion against fate — the journey to flip destiny begins now!

Chapter 20

....how come war is declared by a guy doing a "signal" in the capital, but everything else requires border flags and envoys? I guess it doesn't really matter though, because raising an army takes so long that the other kingdom had to have been preparing to invade for weeks at least.


It just feels like the story has hit a point where complete nonsense is happening for the sake of drama.

Wait, there's some "signal" that a single random person can do that announces a war between two kingdoms?

The beacons on LotR could also technically be lit by any random person and the people wouldn't be wiser. Although, yes, a signal for war is...

This is really cute! I like how they feel like real people who made mistakes and not Mary sues or talking tropes.

Wait never mind that’s too generous of an assumption, I mean COMPARED to a lot of the villainess manga slop it’s pretty well written

The lead regains her memories of her past life, realizes she's in a game, and gets the ability to see, absorb, and use magic. The lead is very proactive and can be helpful without needing to be saved all the time. In fact she does the saving some times as well. There's a lot going on in this manga, almost to the point of being too hectic since it's one thing after another but it's not too bad. I will say that the reincarnation feels unnecessary since the story deviates from the game's story drastically and very fast. It could easily be removed. And while the lead does consider annulling her marriage to avoid her doom, she's not actively trying to push the prince away because she's too busy investigating a series of mysteries.

It's a pretty "real" story, but not something that I feel like reading
