What We Think

While 'I'll Become a Villainess Who Goes Down in History' embraces modern empowerment themes in a gender-flipped fantasy, it stops short of preaching or fully rewriting cultural foundations. The result is moderately woke, most noticeable in its narrative focus and gender subversion.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

The show revolves around a female lead determined to become the ultimate 'villainess' in a typical isekai set-up. While her gender is key, the story still focuses on her wit and ambition. There's moderate emphasis on subverting expectations, but character identity doesn't entirely overshadow skill or plot development.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

Traditional gender dynamics are flipped, empowering the female protagonist in roles typically reserved for men. Family and romance aren't trashed, but classical values definitely take a back seat to self-actualization, personal ambition, and girlboss vibes.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

While the series plays with the 'strong woman' trope, alternative viewpoints, such as traditional roles, are not outright mocked, though they’re rarely celebrated. The villainess’s arc is central, but side characters include a range of personalities that sometimes question her approach.
