Kill the Villainess - Recommendations

MinRei says...

The mcs share similar yet different circumstances about being transported into a different world and taking over a body that isn't theirs.

On one hand we have a person trying her best to survive while the other is just so done with her situation and accepts that she cannot die (and possibly return to her world) until her role in the story is over.

Another thing note worthy is that sometimes when the mcs experience something like unfairness brought by their role or unexpected kindness from other characters they think about the original owner of the body. Things like is this how you felt  or you deserve to be the one hearing this apology pop into their mind and thus making the proginal characters more interesting rather than just an excuse to give the mc a handicap in terms of relationship with other characters.

I agree that these two stories should be recommended together.

The transmigrators of these stories are truly trapped in their villainess roles. Many other villainess stories I've read are people who deviate from the villainess role in some way. Kill the Villainess and Villains Are Destined to Die, however, have more unique challenges and empathetic protagonists that immerse you into their personality and circumstances. The prisons of these transmigrated-into-a-villainess protagonists are constructed differently. Yet the limited power to "deviate from the original story" rings true to these stories. Definitely check the other out if you've been reading Kill the Villainess or Villains Are Destined to Die.

The FL is not enjoying her time as the villianess... Main premise for both while VDD has the FL fighting for life KV has the FL desperate for death. 

Amayalee says...

Both female leads aren't cookie cutters of the normal plot, both are fighting to get back to where they want to be, and both aren't goodie two shoes in getting there. Both are psychological and realistic in the portrayal of one who is in an isekaied world, neither just accept their isekaied and fight to change their fate. The darkness of this one is reminiscent of death is the only ending for the villainess, instead of fighting to live however she is fighting to die.

Both are looking for a way to die

Very dark, gloomy atomsphere

Servant-noble romance

1. Both FL want to end their lives or go back to their life

2. Both ML are commoners and the Fl's are Nobels

3. Eris tries to end her tragic ending in the novel, while Selina just wants to have eternal peace

4. Different goals but similar vibes

CattoIs2Pure says...

Both of these stories have female leads that Isekaid and are suicidal. They will both throw you through hoops of happiness and sadness.

FranticLegend28 says...

Both of these FML are searching for a way to die, preferably in peace.

Both of the MC's are villains

I enjoy both art styles.

NicoDreamyMouse says...

Both manhwas feature like a very similar vibe in my personal opinion. Like a scary type of story. But I don't think a lot of people will agree with me on this recommendation lol...

They both have strong mcs, really pretty art (although I prefer roxanna's art more). Both of the stories are interesting.

upsidepenguin says...

Both FLs (Medea in YT and "Eris" in KTV) have the same vibes - quite cunning and would do anything to achieve their goal, and are perceived as villains in their world -, but "Kill the Villainess" has a slightly more moral and caring FL. Both have very naive "white lotuses", Psyche in YT and Helena in KTV, that the readers were conditioned to hate at first but then turned out to really be a person with pure intentions, though "Your Throne" has a far more developed and likeable one. In fact, I'd say Psyche is the FL alongside Medea. Anyway, it's mostly the similarities between Medea and "Eris", the mature air of both webtoons, and the great subversion of tropes in both webtoons that make me recommend them for each other.

corgintionthe3rd says...

both MCs were isekaied into the body of a villainess and are trying to go back 

the difference is that kill the villainess doesn't know a way back and is trying everything she can to do so, while happy ending for... knows how and is basically playing a game on extreme mode where she can die with one hit while completing the required task to go back

and kill the villainess (so far) doesn't have romance, whereas there's more romance in happy... 

actually, it's really different but the MCs give off the same vibe?

I recommend both anyway 

AthyFairy says...

both FL takes over someone's body 

they both have their own agenda / thoughts

for depths of malice i think the FL is more "sinister' and live up to her villainess title? haha

but both FL gives off similar vibes in a way both are really strong willed and will make sure they will do anything to achieve what they want

NicoDreamyMouse says...

Both female leads want nothing to do with the novel. They both have an objective that they want to accomplish. In "Kill The Villainess", Eris wants to return to her real world. And to do that, she wants to be killed. Keep in mind that these stories have a very different tone. While Eris' story has a dark tone, in "The Lady Needs A Break", Rubia's story is more lighter. She wants to rest and sleep after all the lives she has gone through and dying and dying all over again. I'd recommend both if you like any kind of manhwa with different tones but if you want a specific tone, eg if you want something more lighter to read, then "The Lady Needs A Break" is for you. Otherwise, go with "Kill The Villainess" if you want a more darker read.

Rh123 says...

Both have a hopeless, gloomy air about them

A more mature take on life

More romance in The Bad Ending of an Otome

Rh123 says...

- they both have a dreary, gloomy atmosphere

- both fl just want to return to their own world

- the mls are kinda obssessed with the fl (in a bad way)
