Review of Villainess Level 99: I May Be the Hidden Boss but I'm Not the Demon Lord
Recommended to skip reading this anime synopsis and reviews. You will be surprise how well-crafted this anime. Story 8: I didn't read anime's synopsis and reviews. I just watch it randomly. In eps 1, I thought like some trash cliche anime where the heroine is too kind, looks weak, and meets some handsome guy. But I still hold-on until 70% of eps 1 where the whole scene that I have watched are inside visual novel game and somehow the real heroine is introduced at in the end of the episode, she is a villain-looks. It's really surprised me that made my neighbor mad because I soundnoisy. Anyway, the story set on cliche genre about playing a visual novel otome game in medieval fantasy but in villain-looks perspective. The eps 1 hooked me that I wanted to watch next episode.
Characters 9: All character well-crafted, it's top notch writing. It has many characters and seems like they have a good traits. The characters have their own goal, motivation, and conflict. Our heroine is is always ten step thinking versus other characters. I mean, because she has already played the game more than ten I guess. Because of the experience, our heroine take any conflict and resolved it easily. Not just the game experience, our heroine is also has a good communication. She talks what she needs, and always in logical side. She is typical lazy MC where their motivation will be up if it benefit for them or in a danger. She is lovable heroine where it's somehow kinda idiot but smart, also kinda creepy but cute. It's really different typical cool-silent type girl.
Animation/Art 7: The characters design were good. However, they have CGI, used in creatures that hard to drawn by hand. The CGI doesn't match with background and framerate, thus making it distracting.
Sound/Music 7: I never skip opening music, it's really banger! For the sound like battle, everyday, etc I don't remember much, I think they used less, or no music at all. I think it's good because the shows should make viewer awkward because the heroine, in positive way.
Enjoyment 8: I really enjoy the anime. I was always every week for the last month to watch this anime. I hope, I can see the heroine again.
Overall 8: Recommended to watch, it's cliche story, but MC already know that, so she will handle the cliche things with her personality and that's what make the anime interesting.
