My Life as the Villainess’s Butler
In a world where nobles wield magic like weapons and commoners are little more than pawns, Priam Lockhart—a sarcastic, pragmatic anti-hero—finds himself reincarnated as the butler to Seraphine de Valois, the ruthless villainess of a dating sim game. Tasked with navigating a treacherous academy filled with scheming nobles, jealous love interests, and a system rigged against him, Priam must use his wit, game knowledge, and hidden talents to survive.
But when he crosses paths with Liana Hart, the game’s kind-hearted heroine with a dangerous secret, Priam’s plans for a quiet life unravel. As he works to change Seraphine’s fate and protect Liana from those who would exploit her, he finds himself entangled in a web of political intrigue, betrayal, and romance.
With a harem of powerful women vying for his loyalty and a kingdom on the brink of chaos, Priam must decide: will he play the game, or rewrite the rules entirely?

writing quality = Awesome Story development = no reason to care for the characters beyond the surface traits due to how fat the scenes keep changing . There is almost no character development for any of the main characters, side characters, or the supporting characters beyond what little is written and that can be inferred by reading between the lines. character design = nothing is really known about ANY of the characters and the side characters to the point that all the cast feel like wet cardboard cutouts and not really matters what happens to them, including the MC. update stability = too soon to tell. TLDR- Very little is known about any of the characters. Pacing goes from 0 to 100 very quickly, and scenes change way too fast. No character building/ growth or reasoning of actions beyond surface level, which feels very forced and not natural.
