Review of Villainess Level 99: I May Be the Hidden Boss but I'm Not the Demon Lord
This is a really refreshing anime on the theme of Isekai Villains! Animation: Above average for the genre, but lacks expressions on the characters (our main character has zero expressions due to personality, but it stills makes the animation feel lazy). Plot: Very interesting and well developed, doesn't really leave us with unanswered questions. The pacing of the story is good and brings forth each character's story a bit, while always keeping the focus on the main character. It has a lot of ups and downs, plot-twists, and even redemption for the character's wrongdoings. Character development: Outstanding for the genre! It's definitely this anime's strong point! Each characterin the anime has a development and grows as the story progresses, and by the end of the anime there won't be a character that you can truly hate (even though some are really nasty to the main character in the beginning!) because they all have properly suffered the consequences to their acts and reflected on it in order to become better versions of themselves.
Romantic development: Really cute! The romance starts shy and you will be more interested in the main character's circumstances than in the romance, but then the fact that someone is crushing on her becomes a really great development for her! From someone with no friends and no hopes of being "normal", to someone that even has a boyfriend, this romance has the right spice to make the story richer.
Overall: It's a must-watch if you are a fan of this genre! Its unique story and great character development are really refreshing, this anime doesn't know the word "cliché", you will have a great time watching.
