I feel very betrayed... It said short stories, but these are just very few comic pannels with hardly any cohesive storytelling. It's more like a Then VS Now thing.

The Villainess Needs A Tyrant

Ongoing | Eun sae ro,은새로,Kim peul,킴플 | 2019 released

The story is great at first but more and more it feels like the author made shit up as they went and TRIED to make things make sense...but failed rather miserably. It's not due to bad translation either, that only gets horrid towards the later parts. So I don't think this is a case of mistranslation and hence meaning being lost. I mean, towards the end we have a character pop up, do a big important thing that is ENTIRELY ignored and treated like someone did something insignificant, and then BOOM sometime later they say he off'd himself?? This is just pure lacklusterness at this point. Nevermind making drama when there is no need to, but there are multiple times where it feels like the author couldn't give a shit to write a coherrent story with scenes that are fleshed out AND do character's justice by portraying them as the important figure in the story they previously were. Multiple times, mind you. This story started off super interesting and only became a headache and sheer disappointment. I'd suggest not reading it because all the time invested will get you nowhere satisfying (or good, really). It's like the author read multiple stories, saw dramatic happenings and wanted to squeeze them all in, hell be damned if it fits or not. It's just all over the place and ruins what the story could have been: A reincarnation story of multiple people, with a tragic side character loosing his life for doing the right thing, a rejected male lead passing and an unlikely couple finding one another. Instead we get the usual, halfassed skipping over important events, killing of people without a need or without making it the big deal it should be and then the next page just everybody being smiles and happy go lucky while having a wedding. For the love of anything ever holy: if you cannot be bothered to even write a script and have things make sense as well as executing it well in comic form...just DON'T do it. It's just disappointing and infuriating in many cases. I somehow hope someone will copy this story and re-do it in a better way, but this one is just NOT worth bothering with. Sorry.

Yeah no. The art is WAY too much of a turn off to work as fap material (the artist overdoes it with ugly expressions and angles they simply cannot draw well), the story is dumb as hell and really makes it obvious it was just thrown together to excuse different sorts of fuck-scenes and the characters are overall just not appealing/uninteresting since they have no personality. Very disappointing, but another reminder to not bother with these kinda comics. Give it a try, if you have no high expectations for borderline perfect art and good writing, this can be for you.
