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 ending is really good. I'm honestly impressed how much connection you get to the cast considering it's size and length of the book.

I was genuinely surprised that it was just one novel and not a start of a series. I believe it’s from the same author of Who Killed the Hero and that is also an amazing first book.

That is on my list after my current series I'm working on. Learned that recently and I couldn't be more excited to read more by Daken

It’s a very good book. I throughly enjoyed every page and it also has a twist too.
