Publisher's summary

When an ambitious teenage girl from Earth finds herself in a magical realm, she could be the hero—but she'd prefer to be the villain.

When power-hungry Everly is reborn into a medieval world where elemental magic rules and she receives her elemental servants—the oddly sadistic Eris and the fun-loving Titania—years earlier than one typically would, she knows she's destined for a command of necromantic magic the likes of which her peers can only dream.

Though she's the bastard daughter of a count and a precariously positioned concubine, Everly is determined to be a conqueror, warlord, and queen. She could be the hero of the realm, the person to save everyone, with her protectors—the Silver Lance—and her beautiful mage lover by her side.

But Everly's no hero. She's an aspiring villain, seeking the freedom that comes with doing wrong. And before long, she'll make everyone fear the name of the Empress . . .

The first volume of the hit portal fantasy series—with more than 400,000 views on Royal Road—now available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible!

It's good to be The Empress

Fun story. Nice villain to follow. Interesting take on the new world reincarnation trope. A self aware narcissist is a dangerous thing, and this new world is about to learn why.

Brilliant yet scary!

We seem to live in the world of illogical fantasy, if people where given power would they be good or evil 😈
Most books take us down the path of chaotic good or even neutral good.
This book is not for the faint of heart and it is well done without being gross. Very well done and told by narrator and author!
Waiting with bated breath for the next, bravo!!

Read the prologue, Its an evil MC. Negative reviews cause it hurt your sense of morals is .................

Not for me

The drawn out scenes of mental torture inflicted on others in this book was too much to stomach.

Good

I really liked this. Although I thought the childhood portion was too long, all the side stories are too long, and the MC gets more and more crazy sounding. I wish she had taken things more seriously and stopped comparing everything to a plot of an anime or movie. I enjoyed the humor. Overall, I think it was definitely worth a credit. I'm sure a lot of people will find this book too dark and offensive for torture and whatnot. Honestly, I didn't think it went overboard at all. MCs that think they are heroes can be really annoying. Always preaching about the 'right' thing and giving away everything they earn. I found this book refreshing (other than the childish views on what a villain is based on movie plots).

Excellent!

Love the plot! The narration was top tier! Can't wait for book 2 to follow the MC on her way to become The Empress.

Meh

This is a hard one to review. It's fun to cheer for villains, and Evelyn is definitely a villain. She is a narcissistic sociopath who treats the world as her playground, trolling the world for her own amusement. Sounds fun, right? Somehow, it just isn't. Her character is... I want to say inconsistent, but I'm not sure that is correct. In this book, she is basically trying to figure out what type of villain she wants to be, so her actions are all over there place. I think maybe the next book could be good and I'm willing to give it a shot, but I definitely think this one could have been done better. However, on balance, I'd say it is worth giving a try if you are on the fence about it.
