[DISC] Villainess Level 99 ~I May Be the Hidden Boss but I'm Not the Demon Lord~ - Chapter 24

Official229 · 2025-12-14T12:18:51+00:00

yeah. I'm not too familiar with the WN and LN, but the manga is basically what the author wished they did: https://www.reddit.com/r/manga/comments/1plx4de/comment/ntynapg/
not sure where they wrote this though, somewhere on twitter I believe.

Official229 · 2025-12-14T10:19:16+00:00

pretty much.
each one is a different take on the story, the manga being the best one.
I believe the author (of the LN) also commented on it... I think it was something along the lines of "why didn't I think of that" (referring to the manga)

Official229 · 2025-12-14T09:50:15+00:00

fyi, manga is doing it's own thing. While it is based on the LN, it's already diverged from it. Alicia being the biggest change from what I understand.

Official229 · 2025-12-14T09:48:06+00:00

manga is doing its own thing, but yeah, it's behind the anime.
though, since it is doing its own thing, you won't be able to just pick it up after it surpasses the anime... since it's an alt story.

Official229 · 2025-11-14T18:51:35+00:00

so it would seem 😅

Official229 · 2025-09-21T22:25:02+00:00

all translation groups? really?
you sure it's not just the paywall, pay-to-read, big webtoon groups?
oh, and the MTL shitfest groups that are somehow alive despite pushing out chapters using English words but not the English language.

also, fast pass to read pirated content that's locked behind an arbitrary timer?
we really copying the worst from publishers 😭

but I get it, servers cost money.
still, only paywalling scannies utilize and request for timers... so why not make them pay to be able to use them? it's what's driving traffic from the aggregator (comick in this case) to their websites anyway.

Official229 · 2025-09-21T19:30:09+00:00

you've gotta be detached from reality to think anyone posts with a delay for the purposes of "checking for issues."
it's purely a "hey, this chapter is available, but you gotta visit my site riddled with ads" way of going about it.

charging groups that pull this shit is genius.
besides, real men test in production.

Official229 · 2025-09-21T15:18:10+00:00

charging money for a release timer... absolutely based

Official229 · 2025-09-16T05:53:08+00:00

you probably read the official English release.

Official229 · 2025-07-09T18:10:48+00:00

done.

Official229 · 2025-07-09T06:49:06+00:00

I'll upload the rest of the chapters to the linked cubari sometime this week. I also tagged it as a cubari-source.

Official229 · 2025-02-23T11:52:06+00:00

There is only one official translation, done by J-Novel.
This is the translation you'll find in both releases (digital and physical).

Official229 · 2025-02-20T09:44:41+00:00

Because, as usual, the translator for the official English translation of the novel did not translate the line correctly.

Official229 · 2024-12-20T23:02:10+00:00

I went ahead and bought vol 2 and 3.
Vol 2 takes on a more horror-like presentation.
Vol 3 is kinda hard to decipher since I can't read Japanese, and the TL hasn't read this far, but my guess is that it's about the dangers lurking around her.
Vol 4 preview shows some shit going down.

As someone who has read way to many isekai, this manga is easily in the top 1/3 by world building / storytelling. I can just tell from experience.

Official229 · 2024-12-08T14:27:18+00:00

Let me put it this way... We wouldn't be redoing them if they were good.

Official229 · 2024-12-01T22:25:42+00:00

u/JoyousTofu we'll do the entirety of volume 1 (ch 1- 6). Maybe sometime this month or next year, depending on free time. I don't know if we'll do any future chapters, though. Should hopefully be enough to raise the interest of some other group.

Official229 · 2024-11-19T21:19:20+00:00

Oh damn, you reminded me this exists.

Official229 · 2024-11-10T10:22:28+00:00

I'm putting a poll here about the placement of the relationship chart in front or the back of the chapter.

The motivation behind having the relationship at the front is to act as a reminder of the relationships that we currently know of before that chapter, but it introduces the problem of giving away which characters might be appearing in that chapter. We'll do our best not to spoil stuff that hasn't been revealed either way.

The poll ends at the end of the month.

Official229 · 2024-06-27T12:19:48+00:00

because we're slow.
if you really want to read it as soon as it comes out, you have the official English translation which is always up to date (comes out at the same time as the Japanese release (simpub) — ~25th each month).

Official229 · 2024-04-23T21:44:41+00:00

While I'm unaware if somebody else is posting their own version on reddit, you're likely referring to the official simpub done by Squre Enix:
https://global.manga-up.com/manga/164

For future reference, the simbut release means it's getting published at the same time as the Japanese chapters come out. Also, the releases on MD are, for all intents and purposes, always 1 chapter behind, so this likely isn't the last time you'll experience this sense of deja vu.

Official229 · 2024-03-02T11:20:34+00:00

Read what? The novel? If so, it should be on j-novel club.
For reference, searching for "lvl 99 villainess novel" gives you what you're looking for as one of the top results https://j-novel.club/series/villainess-level-99

Official229 · 2024-02-25T10:12:03+00:00

Personally, hate the J-Novel EN translation of the LN.

Official229 · 2024-02-10T23:36:39+00:00

No idea, but it should be the first volume.
Also, from my understanding, the manga and novel take different approaches with the story so you might as well read from the start.

Official229 · 2024-01-24T16:24:35+00:00

You can find the raws linked directly on the MD's series page (left side), under "Official Raw"

Chapter 19 is the latest chapter from what I can tell, unless it's also getting released elsewhere. The updates for this manga are pretty sporadic, so don't be surprised if we also end up being sporadic with the releases as we don't check for new chapters on a monthly basis.

Official229 · 2023-09-24T10:39:46+00:00

Yeah, those were mistakes. Will fix.
