Though I Am an Inept Villainess #4 — Fan Reactions: Just because it means you don't have to show up, doesn't mean you can't show up!

Commenter

Episode 4: Ririn caring this much about the woman who pushed her into a corner shows how insanely kind she is, and even more that she's just genuinely happy to be healthy now lol. Negotiations almost turned into physical combat… Lilri completely attached to her too. You just gotta love a hard-working, positive queen like Ririn!

Commenter

Lowkey love how Keigetsu has to rely on Ririn no matter what lol (she'd totally flip if she heard me say that). Her asthma attack cleared right up, talking normally, asking where the meds are. Well, she bounces the second she gets what she wants, which is very on brand tbh 😌

Commenter

The Nakqiu Festival dance scene we've all been waiting for! The "Hubunbu" dance Lilri taught her—are we actually seeing this in the anime next week?! It's easily top 3 fav scenes in the manga/LN, so hyped!! Huge expectations for ep 5!!

Commenter

Lilri's totally catching onto whatever's wrong with "Keigetsu" lol. Since it's probably impossible for "Keigetsu" to meet Fuyuki right now, she should at least fill Lilri in on the body-swap. Time to poach her once things go back to normal (kinda) 😂

Commenter

Masterminds battling it out! "Just because it means you don't have to show up, doesn't mean you can't show up" wwww What kind of crooked logic is that lol. Sometimes Ririn's brute-force methods are just too good. Total "guts-over-everything" jock energy!

Commenter

Oh damn, Seika's long monologue!! The ideal image of her seeing Ririn as empress and standing by her as noble consort is gorgeous, ngl. But since they barely know each other yet, the thorns are way sharper than the flower lol w

Commenter

I've been waiting *forever* for my shooting star scene and Ririn accidentally letting slip about the "tourmaline robe", seeing it actually animated was so satisfying. Even more killer scenes coming next week, let's gooo

Commenter

Seika Kim is such an arrogant piece of work, but her absolute best trait is that she actually respects whatever she finds genuinely beautiful. Plus zero class discrimination, gotta respect that.

Commenter

This week's ep literally flew by in a flash🙄 The Nakqiu Festival is starting… and boom, it ends right there. Next week we finally get the "animated" Hubunbu dance!

Commenter

Wait, what's gonna happen?!… and cue credits. Felt way too short, but both Part A and B had some seriously dense back-and-forth dialogue.

Commenter

Seriously ending it right where it gets good——!! Need Sunday to get here faster… I love their hugging moments way too much it's unhealthy

Commenter

Cracking up every single time a text prompt pops up for Gyomei lmao. The anime staff deadass refuses to treat him like a main character

Commenter

Honestly think the Prince needs to go see the real Zhu Keigetsu again……… 🤔 But knowing his stubborn preconceived notions, probably no hope 😂

Commenter

Wow, Seika Kim out here looking straight-up like the villainess too. Haven't been commenting much, but massive thanks for the insane quality every week❣️

Commenter

Is this the result of Ririn's daily tutoring or what? Her poetic expression is god-tier, and she actually knows how to compliment people… absolute boss.

Commenter

"Tourmaline robe." This scene where Kang is just way too down bad for Lilri and accidentally exposes himself is amazing… this part hits so right

Commenter

The fact that Ririn immediately recognizes it's an asthma attack just from "can't breathe even when inhaling" tells you everything… wonder how many times she was in that exact spot.

Commenter

I seriously cannot get over Lilri casually walking back in like nothing happened (lol). Thought for sure she was gonna bring some cursed trouble with her.

Commenter

Lowkey worried that once the swap undoes itself, poor lil' Lilri's gonna get bullied by the real Zhu Keigetsu all over again and have a dark awakening

Commenter

Begging the person whose life you stole for help when your body's a wreck… yeah, talk about pathetic, Keigetsu (real) lol.

Commenter

Gotta make sure to say "So sorry for eating all those oil-drenched yams in your body," lol.

Commenter

When your only lifeline in this mess is literally the person whose body you hijacked… rough, man…….

Commenter

Only Keigetsu is out here actually calling out how rigged Ririn's whole situation is……

Commenter

Rare villainess story where she's not making out with some bofur, she's basically turning into pure yuri.

Commenter

Kinda hilarious how different her spoken voice sounds compared to her inner monologues, even though you know it's her.

Commenter

GUTS wwww.wwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Commenter

The exact same face she made when she was mass-murdering pests in the shed

Commenter

Keigetsu rolling up to complain to the host body because she's suffering too much w. What a cheat code of an ability

Commenter

Smol Lilri. Aw aw aw aw aw aw… Aw aw aw aw aw aw!!

Commenter

Training morning and night without fail is honestly hardcore, Ririn's inner beast showing through again lol

Commenter

Nah, no offense, but maybe don't body-swap on a whim and then demand help?

Commenter

Keigetsu is objectively a stunner, though… (it's her posture, expressions, and makeup dragging her down fr)

Commenter

They literally just "remade and swapped" Lilri's and Keigetsu's robes right here, right?

Commenter

Wait, "come on out" actually meant she *was* allowed to come out!! Lol

Commenter

Love how it hits all those classic shonen tropes of a weak protagonist somehow beating an OP boss

Commenter

Episode 4 is live! Feels like it's been ages since we last saw Ririn trapped inside Keigetsu's body! Lol

Commenter

Absolute comedy gold that nobody knows the truth, so she has literally no choice but to ask the body-snatcher for help

Commenter

With health this garbage, no way she's ever popping out kids, how's she gonna be a royal consort??

Commenter

Lilri getting all flustered because Keigetsu (Ririn) is hugging her is insanely cute ngl~

Commenter

So she literally took the hair from "just trimming her split ends" and turned it into a brush with zero waste.

Commenter

"I can't take it anymoreee. I have zero clue which one's the medicine!!"

Commenter

Well, turns out that body's way too high-spec for a casual player like you to handle, GG.

Commenter

Wonder what kind of look Lilri's gonna give her if this swap is still going when she gets back

Commenter

She's objectively gorgeous though. Once the switch happens, she's suddenly crazy cute

Commenter

Keigetsu getting all flustered and salty is too cute www (*´艸`*) Anime Ep 4

Commenter

Shooting star.. feels like the distance between them just shrank by like, 1 millimeter..

Commenter

If she actually had a decent constitution, she might've turned out a totally different kind of woman…

Commenter

And of course, the exact person she wants to humiliate is a total no-show

Commenter

S T R U G G L I N G 　 T O 　 F I X 　 H E R 　 O W N 　 H E A L T H

Commenter

Keigetsu's lack of beauty is literally 100% a skill issue with makeup and facial expressions…

Commenter

For Ririn, getting this healthy body back is basically nothing short of a miracle at this point

Commenter

Honestly, everyone around them being completely blind to the body swap is peak NPC behavior……

Commenter

Omg she let her hair down and turned into such a bishoujo I almost didn't recognize her!!

Commenter

OP hack mode is unreal.. she literally spins every single negative into pure positive energy

Commenter

Always sounding a bit lower pitched, guess that's because Keigetsu's driving right now

Commenter

Stealing someone's body on a whim and then crying for help is peak entitlement fr

Commenter

Like seriously, living in a body that's this broken is just miserable beyond words

Commenter

Gotta optimize valve opening timings like an engine or you're gonna stall out

Commenter

Society's "you don't have to come" always secretly means "don't you dare show up" lol

Commenter

Ririn is definitely the exact type of person you never want as a black-company boss

Commenter

Why is Zhu Keigetsu still out here taking Ls even after a body swap, make it make sense lol

Commenter

Lilri letting out a scream that sounds like she's choking a cat www

Commenter

This is like "The grass is greener on the other side" scaled up to level 100…..

Commenter

Can't blame her for being salty 24/7 when her HP bar is permanently in the red like that

Commenter

Keigetsu (Ririn) being the one to apologize when you think about it rationally is so grass-touching

Commenter

Literal only reason she keeps the body swap going is just to keep bullying Huang Ririn

Commenter

Imagine if Keigetsu and Ririn swapped back right now, Lilri would be devastated you know?

Commenter

Such a precious shooting star. Ririn *is* the shooting star, change my mind

Commenter

This is shockingly unrelated to anything happening on screen rn w

Commenter

This anime is nuts. The source material must be insanely good too.

Commenter

Looking back at it now, the way they frame Seika as sus is brilliantly effective

Commenter

This anime has a totally different flavor of entertainment compared to Apothecary Diaries fr.

Commenter

Having a healthy body like this… seeing it now just hits different, so real….

Commenter

Make sure to invite Lilri and Fuyuki to sit with you next time okay

Commenter

😊 "What on earth are you talking about?" Anime Episode 4

Commenter

Hubunbu is basically like the flamenco of ancient China.

Commenter

Running a fever on loop is pure torture, it hurts so bad, I can't

Commenter

The vibes of the swapped people are 100% opposite www

Commenter

Guess we gotta ask the actual owner of the meat suit for a tutorial on how to drive it

Commenter

Ririn out here already ruining Keigetsu's hair, you love to see it

Commenter

*Context: Literally just begged Ririn for help two seconds ago*

Commenter

Doing absolute wonders to bring out Lilri's hidden potential fr

Commenter

Seika Kim. Still out here acting like a total snob as usual.

Commenter

Kinda looks more like a toxic mutual-benefit relationship at this point

Commenter

Lilri getting her brain completely fried over this is too cute
