Your eternal lies, has a similar premise in the sense that it's about a prisoner and her prison life. But compared to I met the male lead in prison, it's SO MUCH better. It's original, the world is quite cool, the characters are compelling and the plot is interesting. If prison life with a touch of "nobility" intrigues you, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better manga than Your eternal lies

Crowning My Feral Prince

Crowning My Feral Prince

Some people start off their possession stories on an epic journey of discovery and growth–but not the newly awakened Trixie Giuseppe. She’s not even five minutes into her novel but is already married to the biggest creep ever and disowned by her parents. Wishing to free herself from the shackles placed by her awful husband, Trixie takes a job as a servant at a remote estate. But she discovers too late that the “young master” she has to serve is the empire’s foolish prince, Leone Atarta. The novel’s author must’ve misspelled the word “feral” as Leone turns out to be much more of a beast than a simple beauty. And thus begins Trixie’s tale of trying to tame her new “dog” and make him the shining crown prince he’s meant to be.

The brother in I met the male lead reminded me of the lead in wife of the yandere second male lead. Also both feature a male lead who was horribly mistreated and had a few personality issues as a result. Both feature fantasy elements and Isekai plots. I met the male lead is definitely a better read but you might like the wife of the yandere second male lead as long as you go into it knowing that he is a super yandere so don't expect a sweet romance.

The Villainess Just Wants to Live in Peace!

The Villainess Just Wants to Live in Peace!

I transmigrated as the villainess of a novel. I wanted to get rid of my death flag and live in peace, but apparently I’ve already been whipping and tormenting the final villain. I wasn't the one who did it, but since I still felt responsible for it, I’ve been taking care of him, and the villain's loyalty towards me keeps increasing. I just want to enjoy my wealth and honor in peace. I don't know why the story keeps going astray!

I Am The Male-Lead’s Ex-Girlfriend (Promo)

I Am The Male-Lead’s Ex-Girlfriend (Promo)

I am the villainess in a harem novel. My role as "Erika" is to be an evil ex-girlfriend. I don't want to be a dumb villainess, so I broke up with the male-lead first... But after 3 years, Leo came back to me. "I can't live without you. I still like you..." I'm not the girl you should be obsessed with?! The second leads also came to me. "I like it when you're next to me..." I'm just a supporting villainess, yet why are all these men confessing to me?! Who should I choose?

The Male Lead’s Boyfriend is Obsessed With Me

The Male Lead’s Boyfriend is Obsessed With Me

I fell into the ultimate noir BL novel. I was also the obsessive maniac and villainess who fell in love with the boss of The Hundred Thousand and brutally died during the main characters’ first meeting! I thought I’d change the love between the two, which originally ended with the death of my bias due to schemes, into a happy ending...
