Villainess Level 99: I May Be the Hidden Boss but I'm Not the Demon Lord

Villainess Level 99: I May Be the Hidden Boss but I'm Not the Demon Lord is a twelve-episode comedy fantasy romance that aired in winter 2024. The series follows a reborn college student who finds herself trapped in the role of an otome RPG's secret villainess and simply wants to live quietly without causing trouble. Her best-laid plans unravel when her gaming instincts take over and she accidentally grinds her way to level 99, an achievement that immediately makes everyone around her suspicious that she's actually the Demon Lord of the story.

The show finished airing and is now complete, making it easy to binge without waiting for new episodes. It's a lighthearted take on the isekai and villainess genres, blending comedy with romantic elements and fantasy adventure. The premise plays on the gap between what Yumiella wants—a normal, peaceful life—and what her exponentially growing power actually attracts: unwanted attention and increasingly ridiculous misunderstandings about her true identity.

If you enjoy comedic takes on reincarnation stories, game-like mechanics in fantasy settings, or romantic narratives mixed with humor, this series delivers a complete story arc without cliffhangers. The twelve-episode format provides a satisfying viewing experience that wraps up its narrative.
