Being a compelling villain does not only equates to being just really bad. The character must possess an impressive capacity for evil, and incomparable ingenuity, one that the heroine can’t surpass easily.
Because if the villain is weak, how can we stay up in the medium without getting bored, and how can the story drive to its final conclusion if there are no villains around?
It’s hard to admit but villains are sometimes more interesting than heroes. They give an essential glimpse of certain perspectives that we have never seen before and provide obstacles for the protagonists that if overcame, a swirl of unforgettable lessons would be thrown to us. Can you imagine a story without villains? Pretty boring, right? What if I tell you there are tons of undiscovered stories that combine the morally structured heroine and undefeatable villain within the same body? If you think that’s impossible, think twice, because Villainess Maker is here to prove that right.
Villainess Maker is only one of the few that went successful in incorporating those two important figures in one character. Its main theme played around the concept of good and bad, showing how love can balance the power of the two, and how deceit can mess up that balance.
It would take an observant eye to spot that in the story since the amusing interaction of the main protagonists is extremely intoxicating. So if you’re up to give Villainness Maker a chance (I doubt that you won’t), be sure to put on a magnifying glass because this story is more than what it seems.

Part 1: Main Storyline of Villainess Maker
Set in a historical period, the plot of Villainess Makermainly revolves around Yoon Hanuel, an ordinary commoner who’s leading a blunt and boring life in the city of Seoul. With no clear direction ahead of her, Yoon Haneul always felt the utter pressure of her future.
However, her fate soon changed when she had a strange dream about a historical woman being killed. The identity of the woman and the scene were eerily familiar to Yoon Haneul as it was the exact scene in the novel she wrote ten years ago.
And so, she was quick to empathize with her, one thing that she never should have done. Because right after she utters a wish, something pulled her out of the present day, and before everything made sense, she wakes up, not as Yoon Haneul but as the villainess of the novel that came exactly from her—Ayla Mertensia.
It didn’t become a pain in the ass for Yoon Haneul to get accustomed to the world she was in. Her imagination was her weapon against ignorance. But even though that was an advantage, being Ayla Mertensia wasn’t an easy task.
She has to keep up with her wicked and pitiful reputation, dancing around the mansion like a vengeful soul, and sowing darkness with every drop of a word. How could she live up to this woman’s life when she hasn’t a single ounce of evilness in her body?! More so, how can she go back when she’s stuck in an annoying time loop?!
For days that she was there as Ayla, the same events kept repeating and repeating. At first, Yoon was pleased with the situation, but knowing she won’t get anywhere if it continues, she knocked herself out by thinking of a solution.
That’s when the godly attractive and powerful sorcerer—Killian, came rushing in, pretending as her butler. He reveals to Ayla that for her to get out of the time loop, she must bring back the essence of Ayla Mertensia’s real nature, and guess what it is? A villainess! If not, she’d be enclosed in that ordeal… forever!
Yoon then proposes that they must team up. Interestingly, Killian is also suffering the same fate as the annoying god that brought them together. He shares the same determination and frustration as Yoon currently has. He figured that if he help her, it might do some good on his side. He wouldn’t be losing anything if he agreed. If anything, Yoon will be benefitting the most from the agreement. After all, their plan is simple. He’ll train Yoon to be a real villainess. Meanwhile, she’ll help him take revenge on the god that created their world, and be the key to his never-ending misery.
However, when things began to change, they earned more than they bargained for. Love has never been part of the deal, and yet, it’s one thing that kept drawing them in. Will affection help them succeed in their plan? Or is it something they need to get rid of before it’s too late?
Part 2: Main Characters of Villainess Maker And What Makes Them Attractive
Killian
He’s a scornful warlock that has been existing for centuries. Many countries fear this unpredictable, and despicable sorcerer, due to the intensity of his power. He cannot only summon flesh-eating demons and operate the mind of humans but he can make a country disappear within a snap.
Five hundred years ago, he made that happen. Since then, many kings never dared to piss him off. They treated him like
Even after so many years, his notoriety hasn’t faded. Not even a bit. His name alone could traumatize a king. To utter it would be like calling the devil. What they failed to discover about this mysterious warlock, though, is that he’s just like any other human, just entirely misunderstood because of his tendency to be rebellious against their god.
Qualified to feel emotions; aware of what’s right and wrong; and a protector of those in oppression. Like us, he also seeks love and solitude.
Ayla Mertensia (the original)
The right epitome of a femme fatale character.
Like the rest of her peers, Ayla is also a member of upper-class society. She’s an aristocrat whose family’s so wealthy and powerful, she could absolutely acquire a palace made of gold. Because of that, she got the entitlement that she can be whatever she wished to be.
She became an annoying brat, messing around with people with no limit, and giving hell to those she thinks to deserve it. However, it’s all only a facade. A mask that she had learned to wear every day to hide the fact that she was a miserable, and lonely soul.
Yoon Haneul
Yoon Hanuel has everything you often find in a female protagonist. Quirky, loves to read, kind, and selfless, and the typical loser in a bustling big city. Her character is not as memorable as Ayla’s.
And to be honest, I wouldn’t have remembered her if she didn’t possess Ayla’s body, and transmigrated into another world. What a relief the author thought of doing that. Despite these, it’s worth mentioning that she never acted dumb in the story.
Ayla’s life was a perfect stage for the development of her character, and it’s impressive that it had been successful in the end.
Part 3: Review On Villainess Maker And Why It’s Worth of Your Time
Villainess Maker is one of that literary pieces that once you get ahold of it, you’d never consider of letting go. It’s light, easy to read, and very entertaining. I lost count of how many times I giggled, laughed so hard, and winced every time something important happens.
All of the characters were lively, realistic, and fantastical I don’t remember having seen one that acted like a robot. Most important of all, the romance was highly addicting. It made me feel envious every time I read about their affection encounters.
I’ll definitely recommend anyone to read this. It’s an A+ for my taste, and I’m confident you’d have the same rating, too.
