Kill the Villainess
storyline: our main character wakes up inside eris miserian's body, the villainess in the book the mc is reading. she must find a way to return to her world, but the plot seems to ask her... to die. review: this was amazing!?? the art is incredible, the characters were well explored, and the focus on eris's mission as the key part of the narrative, unchanged and unfazed, is a welcome deviation from my initial assumption that this would be a story moved by romance. the fact that all of them were "cursed" in the end just makes it even more vindicating for the main character. also can god please send a man like anakhin my way PLEASE
