DESCRIPTION

Summoned into her favorite novel as the infamous Duchess Roselia Chade, Haena is bathed in riches, power, and a family of her own. Life couldn’t be better, save for the small detail that her beloved stepson, Einspanner Chade, is also the evil mastermind destined to kill her. At this point in the story Ein is still just an adorable child yet to reach his cruel awakening, and so Roselia is determined to stop him from becoming a ruthless killer. But with the duke getting in her way and trying to poison his own son, safely raising a child that was primed for villainy may prove harder than she originally thought. The survival of both mother and child depends on whether Roselia can successfully rewrite their tragic ending!

I became the mother of a trashcan
HOLY. SHIT. This is bad.

If there is ever a reason to indulge in genres fully, it's that it really begins to put other works into perspective. It is hard for me to imagine a more frustrating, void of a production than "I Became the Villain's Mother".

Firstly, baseline. Does it look good? Ever? No. Characters designs are not simply flat, but should be considered one-dimensional (despite this making zero geometrical sense), because I would happily deduct a dimension for a staggering lack of value. There is ZERO effort to create expression, background and activity in these panels. Despite the story and characters relationships theoretically moving forward, everything portrayed is stultified for the lack of variability in art from scenario to scenario.

This compounds what can only be described as the most cookie-cutter, template driven approach to story-writing and characters conceivable:

"I am the mother of the villain. He will become real nasty if I don't get mothering as hard as possible! Oh he's so cute. But this nasty duke, god he is acting such an antagonist to me and my son's lovey-dovey playtime!"

The only interesting aspect to this story is that the son is already an asshole, but this is so quickly paved over as a potential avenue for conflict with the isekai'd MC that it is barely worth mentioning. His "bad boy" side only comes out to play when it's time to turn up the gap-moe because god, it's real cute when he acts murderous and authoritative about his mother?!

The duke then suddenly has some cosmic epiphany, secondary to brain aneurysm because he's been seeing his psycho-son suddenly acting like a mommy's boy and this bothers him.

"Hmm, my wife and son are awfully close all of a sudden, and I feel uncomfortable, I guess despite all my years of growing up in this environment totally devoid of familial love I really want to try something new all of a sudden!"

This issue here is not so much the transition existing from a formalistic, cold perspective on family and familial bonds, to one considered more normal/romantic in the modern sense. But that the paper-thin dialogue and imagery does nothing to sell us on this fantasy. Let's not even get into how blatantly ridiculous it is to have a story that has this aristocratic family where poisoning their children to prevent assassination is normal, yet the Duke seems to have zero sexual interest in his wife despite them presumably getting married with the explicit agreement of production of "muh heirs and muh children for muh legacy". Or something something.

I'm not against stories like this having their cake and eating it too. Yes, we know that the dark-murdering tendencies of the duke and his son are meant to sweeten how they become such good boys when dealing with their wife/mother. But if the duke is really such a callous and pragmatic individual, would he really give into the spontaneous whimsy of his wife with so little fanfare?

"Villain's are Destined to Die" is an example of a story in this vein with MUCH stronger presentation, which means selling the inherent silliness in the plot is so much easier.

As previously mentioned, my perspective has changed. “When the Villainess is in Love” moves to a 3, and this takes the prestigious spot of my 2 rating. Good god girl get a grip.
