Excessive villain not throwing on land and family
For all players girls (and guys) out there, Villaness Level 99 is here to represent! Yumelia is the one as iseki-ed villaness who keeps its original gamer Spirit intact after her reincarnation. Initially, she tries to keep her forces hidden as much as she can. But when she flexes them, everyone is incredible with how strong she really is. Her overwhelming strength creates a lot of drama because people directly assume she is some kind of villain just because they are terrified of her. It does not help that her appearance matches the game's secret playoff manager, intended to destroy the world.
Yumelia's motivation is Lazer around and not get involved in anything while you became friends with the game's main character. But thanks to all the prejudices stacked against her, she somehow ends up in the middle of everything anyway. The entire series is essentially just a residential rendering of Overlord.
