Resumen del Editor

When an ambitious teenage girl from Earth finds herself in a magical realm, she could be the hero—but she'd prefer to be the villain.

When power-hungry Everly is reborn into a medieval world where elemental magic rules and she receives her elemental servants—the oddly sadistic Eris and the fun-loving Titania—years earlier than one typically would, she knows she's destined for a command of necromantic magic the likes of which her peers can only dream.

Though she's the bastard daughter of a count and a precariously positioned concubine, Everly is determined to be a conqueror, warlord, and queen. She could be the hero of the realm, the person to save everyone, with her protectors—the Silver Lance—and her beautiful mage lover by her side.

But Everly's no hero. She's an aspiring villain, seeking the freedom that comes with doing wrong. And before long, she'll make everyone fear the name of the Empress . . .

The first volume of the hit portal fantasy series—with more than 400,000 views on Royal Road—now available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible!

A Fantastic, Fun Villain

I can only say that much. the entire book is about a fantastic, fun villain.

It's good to be The Empress

Fun story. Nice villain to follow. Interesting take on the new world reincarnation trope. A self aware narcissist is a dangerous thing, and this new world is about to learn why.

unexpected story also loved the banter

the banter between the characters was hilarious 😂.
Frankly though the story was more darker then I anticipated I was expecting more of an anti-hero story this is more of a story of a narcissistic Harley Quinn type of crazy meets fantasy world which was both unexpected and a kinda nice surprise

what in the wackadoodle!?

the prologue didn't catch me a bit but as soon as ch1 started it hooked, can't wait till Aug for the second book cause from start to finish this was a rollercoaster of primal feelings and terrible but greatly placed nerd humor and grusom visuals in word.

A painful slog

Inconsistent characters, constant reliance on referential humor, and despite the interesting premise the main character is a painfully poorly written character. The author seems to not understand what drama or pivotal character moments are. The story feels like someone took a nice car and drove it into a ditch.

A True Villain Story

One of the rare “true” villain stories I’ve come across that made it into the audio format. What’s better is it doesn’t go in the “I do evil stuff because I’m evil” direction. MC has a reason for the things she does even though those reasons make little sense to a rational person, but if you’re able to view things through a complete psychopath’s point of view you’ll understand why she does what she does. MC both kills, saves, and sometimes kills those she saved because it benefits her in some way or she just felt like it for whatever reason. MC is a complete psychopath but like I said she has reasons to do what she does (usually).

There is no revealed leveling system but there is a system that hasn’t been revealed to the MC as far as I understand. The system is seen as a god type being.

The story isn’t the best but the characters are actually some of the best especially when compared to most other True Villain main character stories. I’m not particularly enthused with stories that start 10 years in the future (or however far it is for this story), I prefer stories to start at the beginning.

It’s good enough I’ll buy book 2 and it’s unique enough I’ll remember it exists which means something in a library of over 1,400 books. The narrator was fine, she pronounces a few words incorrectly but it was only a handful of times. The narrator is one of the better female narrators who can actually manage a male’s voice however many of her male voices boil down to the “whiny weak male” types despite them supposedly being warriors and whatnot

this was excellent

oh my God I love this so much I don't want to give too many spoilers but the main character is excellent and it's very different

Excellent!

Love the plot! The narration was top tier! Can't wait for book 2 to follow the MC on her way to become The Empress.

Unhinged self aware villain

The MC is mentally unhinged, but is also aware of that fact, she’s just too narcissistic to care. In this book she is figuring out what kind of villain she wants to be, and therefore there is some inconsistency in her thought processes and decision making. Some of the side characters are so unabashedly evil that they make the MC seem like a halfway decent person while other side characters are genuinely good. The author does a fantastic job of making you hate some of the characters and cheer for others, but make no mistake this is a book where good does not triumph over evil, greater evil does.
Be aware that there is extensive brutality and torture depicted in this book as well as some foul language. Finally, this is a book about a villain not an anti-hero, not someone who’s forced into villainy, but rather someone who chose it; so If you are a particularly empathetic person or are particularly religious you likely will not enjoy this book.

Brilliant yet scary!

We seem to live in the world of illogical fantasy, if people where given power would they be good or evil 😈
Most books take us down the path of chaotic good or even neutral good.
This book is not for the faint of heart and it is well done without being gross. Very well done and told by narrator and author!
Waiting with bated breath for the next, bravo!!

Read the prologue, Its an evil MC. Negative reviews cause it hurt your sense of morals is .................
