i love yanyan and niangniang so much! they're both so adorable and i love watching their relationship progress, both on yanyan's and niangniang's povs! i found it really hilarious when old huang showed up, niangniang's competitive mode was to the max lmao (i also loved how yanyan's dad accepted the both of them... made me tear up a little ngl)
the extra chapters are so cute, and i love how niangniang never forced yanyan into doing anything. he's so sweet and kind, he's definitely husband material! (i will go and protest for the two of you to get married!! niangzi is rio!!)
huge thank you to the translators, raw providers for seeing this through to the end, especially bc of that situation with bili... :'( it's thanks to everyone that we got fed the entirety of this pure, genuine sugar ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄ so i just really appreciate everyone's hard work (including those who worked on comic adaptation!)
does anyone know any manga/hwa/hua similar to "kill the villainess"? i really like the story flow, the fmc (eris) and ml (anahkin), and their dynamic.
like maybe a reincarnation/isekai story with a fml similar to eris? or better yet, a cool and nicely paced story with a fmc but she doesn't end up with anyone/has no love interests.
maybe something similar to the fmc (melissa) from "beware the villainess" would be good as well.
**NO HAREM OR SMUT PLS!!**
I love Kill the Villainess, it's one of my absolute favourites. In general I feel like it's hard to find a story that is so similar to this one (follows so many otome isekai tropes), while being as good.
I know you would like ending up with no love interest, but through my search and years of reading manwhas I never experienced a story like that, sadly. I feel like it's a characteristic of the genre, that is almost mandatory.
But here are a couple that I love:
- The Broken Ring : This Marriage Will Fail Anyway (ongoing)
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/the_broken_ring_this_marriage_will_fail_anyway/
This one is competing with Kill the Villainess for the first place in my heart. The MC is perfectly written Imo and the story is so complex and addictive.
If you want a little bit of existential approach to regression, similarly as Kill the Villainess had to reincarnation (kind of), then this story is great.
!Warning! This on has some SMUT, but not a crazy amount. Even though you said you don't want it, the fan in me tells me to recommend it anyway.
- Concubine Walkthrough (completed)
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/concubine_walkthrough/
Absolutely gorgeous art and fascinating story. It takes you for a journey.
It has great story turns and twists.
- Your Eternal Lies (completed)
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/your_eternal_lies/
This one, even though it's not exactly otome isekai (it doesn't deal with regression nor reincarnation) is often mentioned amongst them and I think it's cuz it has similar vibes sometimes.
This one is really good, but it's one that you cannot read any spoilers about, cuz it's kinda a investigation story, where as a reader you also take part in it. It's definitely a journey. I wish I could read it for the first time again.
- Death Is The Only Ending For The Villainess (ongoing)
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/death_is_the_only_ending_for_the_villainess/
An otome isekai classic I would say. Even though it's relatively new. It's a lot of people first manwha of this kind and how they feel in love with this genre. I honestly don't remember how good it is, cuz I haven't read it in a while, so I don't want to lie. But I know I enjoyed it a lot.
Special mentions (stories, that I think are really good, but I don't think they quite fit the criteria):
- The Way to Protect the Female Lead's Older Brother (unfinished and unsure if it's ever going to be finished)
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/the_way_to_protect_the_female_lead_s_older_brother/
Really addictive.
- Failed To Abandon The Villain (finished)
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/failed_to_abandon_the_villain/
Very passionate, the plot outside of the romance is good.
- My In-laws are Obsessed With Me (ongoing)
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/my_in_laws_are_obsessed_with_me/
The greatest example of a well made slow burn.
oh my, thanks so much for these recommendations and providing your reviews on them! i do agree it's a bit difficult to find something like "kill the villainess" but i figured i'd shoot my shot and try to ask anyway. but i'm currently reading "death is the only ending for the villainess" and i absolutely love it; i'll be sure to check out your recommendations (i'll check out "the broken ring" even if it has smut, i may grow to like it)!!
looking for a vampire-themed story that doesn't involve harem, smut or bl. shoujo/josei is fine, but i'd prefer it if it's shounen/seinen or action/mystery based!
ps. if anyone knows of the anime delico's nursery, maybe a story similar to that (childcare w vampire themes?) if there's one!!
thanks in advance!
the squeal i let out was unholy lmao i think i woke up my entire neighborhood
xiao pei is so bratty, a true maknae. i think it's pretty cute how he acts around our juexia, and i really like how he switches from soft and embarrassed to teasing and domineering!!
