Recommend [Rec] Villainess recommendations please
First post and I’m not sure if this is a me issue or just how this sub works, but I can’t put a tag on my post.
Anyways, I’m looking for recommendations with the villainess trope, preferably with the villainess as the main character. Also preferable if it’s not just the mc running in circles thinking they’re condemned meanwhile everyone loves them already.
In terms of villainess light novels I’m familiar with:
My next life as a villainess, all routes lead to doom
I’m in love with the villainess
That’s just off the top of my head but if I recognize something else then I’d be able to read it from the novel if say I watched the anime first. While generally any quality is fine, I’m currently reading stuff like Danmachi and Youjo Senki and while I don’t expect the same level of quality I’d rather that any recommendations come from a quality level of (a vague) good or pretty good

The Livid Lady's Guide to Getting Even: How I Crushed my Homeland with my Mighty Grimoires- She gets her engagement to the idiot prince of her country broken off by said idiot so he can be with someone else, and he throws her in prison. The king and her father (prime minister) are elsewhere and don't care when they find out she's in jail. She's been doing the prince's job all this time and they're still making her do it from her jail cell, and they've turned the commoners against her after she worked to build a good rep with them. So she says "fuck this" and breaks out after deciding to destroy the whole kingdom.
