Villainess Level 99: I May Be the Hidden Boss but I'm Not the Demon Lord (Akuyaku Reijou Level 99: Watashi wa Ura-Boss desu ga Maou dewa Arimasen) is about a Eumiella Dolkness, who is a secret boss in an otome PRG. She used to be a college student and geeky gamer in her previous life. As she was not very interested in the romance aspect of the game, she instead grinded until she reached level 99. Her overpowered nature becomes known once she enters a magical academy. It causes changes in the game script, and she gets too much attention as the heroine begins to think that she is the demon lord. Meanwhile, Eumiella just wants to grind in peace and preferably not be noticed.

The light novel is still ongoing. The anime will premiere in January 2024. It is directed by Minoru Yamaoka (One Punch Man: Road to Hero, Trigun Stampede), and the main character is voiced by Fairouz Ai (Nelia Cunningham in The Vexations of a Shut-In Vampire Princess, Slime in Ragna Crimson).

Visual and Fan Reactions

Villainess Level 99 just got a new visual. It is beautiful, and if this is the anime style the studio is going for, we have high hopes. Light novel readers also claim that the source material is gorgeous.

Fans are a little surprised at the choice of the voice actress given that they do not usually see Fairouz Ai playing characters with deadpan expressions. However, they note that Eumiella can become excited, mostly when thinking about grinding. In the end, voice actors generally have a range, and we are sure that Fairouz Ai does a fabulous job as Eumiella.

A lot of those who read the light novel recommend the upcoming anime as a comedy isekai. They suggest that most of the comedy is based on how dense Eumiella is, which gives them secondhand embarrassment at times. Still, the jokes are funny enough and the whole tone is light-hearted enough for light novel fans to hope that the anime adaptation will be a fun experience for everyone, including those new to the title.
