https://azmanhwa.net/manga/kill-the-villainess-2/ A vastly different take on the usual isekai trope. FL was a normal girl who lived a rather lonely childhood due to her parents favouring her brother over her. One day, she woke up in the body of Eris, the villainess of a romance novel that lived a bitter life and ultimately gets killed. FL wants to go home and seeks tirelessly for a way back. In this world, magic exists and the laws of this world keeps FL’s soul tied to Eris’ body despite the numerous times FL tried to commit suicide thinking that by dying, she will be returned. FL comes to accept things but doesn’t give up on returning. But since FL is now stuck in this body and is now Eris, she decides to not be trampled upon any longer and suffer unnecessary indignities. FL plays the part of a villainess well, though she is only cold because of what she’s been though and doesn’t see it necessary to waste time feeling sympathy or pity for fictional characters in a novel. This story is different for the fact that it doesn’t take away the hardship that FL faces, FL is not op and doesn’t have everyone on her side, she is strong in how resilient she is and how she faces challenges head on, persevering though the sadness and despair she may feel on the inside. In this case, FL feels a lot more relatable and her independence shows, for she is alone in this world where she’s an outsider.
