An overworked executive. An innocent, suffering soul. A twist of fate brings the two dreams in one magical way.
Waiting for her inevitable end as she gazes at the frozen pastels painting the southern skies, Leonora—a simple, enlightened soul finds herself thrown into a pit of darkness.
But worse is yet to unfold.
Bound, gagged, and blindfolded, she wakes up and discovers she has transmigrated into another world. Not as Leonora, but… Victoria—an infamous villainess whose wicked feats have bedeviled her kingdom.
A mass murderer, a malicious plotter, an evil witch, and a king-killer. A fallen princess condemned to death through the worst of all punishments—death on a burning stake.

1 Chapter A Week.
Protagonist lacks agency and does absolutely nothing for 18 chapters.
To me, that's more than enough to sink a novel. The rest no longer matters. You've got a wanderlust protagonist ready to explore the world. Great! Let's read about some exploration! What's that, you say? The protagonist is chained up and can't go anywhere?
It doesn't matter what kind of world you craft if you're not going to do anything with it. A novel like this, in which the main character does nothing, is not worth reading.
It has a good prologue though, so not everything needs scrapping.

So far very interesting, with a very intelligent main character. However it does not pick up until the most recent chapter so it’s a little slow so far.
