Beware the Villainess! — Chapter 29

Whew, what a chapter for Beware the Villainess! Chapter 29! Readers had *thoughts*, mostly centered around the arrival of the "Peacock" ML, Jake. While some grudgingly admitted his design was kinda fire 🔥 (feathered hat included!), his personality earned him titles ranging from "annoying" and "trash" to a "flamboyance stink bug." Clearly, his red flags are waving brighter than his tacky-but-expensive clothes!

But the real star of the show, according to the comments? Our precious boy, Nine! 🥺 Readers absolutely adored his dramatic reactions and hilarious misunderstanding, thinking Melissa and Yuri were about to embark on a passionate romance. His "puppy face" made everyone weak, and many called him the real heroine or a "malewife."

Melissa, of course, was praised for being her usual badass self, especially shutting down the "duel for my hand" nonsense. Her comebacks, like desiring someone's *head*, had people laughing for minutes 😂. Her outfit also got a lot of love!

Naturally, the strong chemistry between Melissa and Yuri fueled some serious yuri shipping hopes and jokes, even leading some readers to double-check the genre tags. It seems Nine wasn't the only one seeing things! Overall, this chapter delivered laughs, annoyance at the ML, and maximum Nine adorableness, leaving everyone excited to see Melissa tackle that ridiculous quiz challenge.
