Synopsis:
That girl is unrivaled in the shadows!!
Liliana, the daughter of a duke and potential fiancée to the crown prince, realizes that she has been reincarnated as the villainess of a otome game she played in her previous life. Her life is constantly threatened by her father's political enemies and assassins from other countries. Furthermore, she cannot speak due to an illness. She cannot call for help when attacked, and cannot chant magic, so it seemed that only ruin awaited her...
(If she can't speak, doesn't it mean she can learn chantless magic? Ah, I did it.)
And so, with the help of those around her, Liliana prevents a monster attack (stampede) and destroys a human trafficking organization... aiming to avoid being involved in the story, Liliana is unrivaled!! The strongest heroine destroys fate (scenario) with her genius (cheat) magic and intelligence in this parallel world reincarnation x secret battle fantasy!(Source: Bookwalker JP product page / Translated with Google Tradutor)

This series better enjoyed with few spoilers as possible, but it difficult to say what I liked about this series without them.
Here are some comments about this series (based on my 2 readings of the WebNovel version with MTL, informations I found Twitter/X and the series product page), if you do not care about spoilers:
I want to see this series Licensed by J-Novel Club because:
-
This is a series that information that is given is very important to better understand the story, J-Novel Club has the best english translations;
-
J-Novel Club is the unique publisher that I know to license bonus short stories. (This series short stories feel like they compliment the main story and characters, based on their titles and synopsis)
-
The LN version add more content to the story. (On Vol 3 preview on the Overlap Store is possible to see one new scene that is not available on the WebNovel version)
