Similar concepts of the main heroine becoming a villainess in a novel and using knowledge to gain upper hand, being "good" in the end. Both stories are also making fun of common genre tropes.

Both have a good main lead if you enjoyed either of these you'll enjoy the other. They have a relaxing feel to them, you should give it a read.

When I started reading this, I just instantly got reminded of 'Beware of the Villainess'. The feeling you get about it is just so similar like... you'll get it once you start.

The Viridescent Tiara

The Viridescent Tiara

I was a normal grad student until I woke up in a world right out of a novel I wrote as a teen. But danger’s on the horizon—the character I became was originally destined to die AND people are out to get me! Even though this character’s past was full of villainy, I’m using my insider knowledge to survive the flame of the Azure Ring, settle debts, and make things right for the House of Latia! Can I earn the trust of the hero and get ahead in this world? Are there secrets that even I don’t know?

In both stories, the main heroine is reincarnator into the novel she read and use knowledge to tap into resources to help grow the land she owns.

it is vary similar because both FL's don't really want to be villaines, the only difference is that one has to be the villainess and the other doesn't, both ML's are vary strong people, they're also both well know for doing inhuman things in their world, their both abnormally strong to, and in both the FL and ML and bound to each other 

Juniper06 Juniper06 says...

Both FL have red hair and green eyes and both of their ML are crazy magicians/demons. The storylines are kinda similar in some ways and they're both good.

How to Win My Husband Over

How to Win My Husband Over

I thought I’d finally escaped my hellish life when I died in an airplane crash, but I fell into another nightmare when I awoke as Rudbeckia de Borgia, a minor villain from a historical novel destined to die at the hands of her husband, Iske van Omerta. Surviving with the dysfunctional Borgia family is hard enough, but now I have to marry the man who will kill me! Still, it’s okay, I just have to convince Iske, his family, and all his countrymen that I’m completely harmless! How hard can that be?

Both ml look similar in eye color and hair

artwork is similae

both ml is hot

both stories are good

Alvarita Alvarita says...

Both stories are really good, both are very enjoyable in they're own way and the art is very beaitul.

MLs look so similar in looks with the cute frown but their personalities are nothing alike. 

FLs, however, have nothing in common, it would be better to say that they are total opposites.

HowToWinMyHO have a much deeper, heavy pshychological feel to it, whereas I'llLiveOnAV is a light fun read. 

You won't regret reading either of them tho.

Have fun ^^

Both stories have main heroin reincarnated into a novel she knows as villainess - and using the knowledge she gains some power and goes her own way despite the general public still seeing her as a villainess.MVtI is more focusing on martial arts, ViR is more parody of similar stories.

I Was the Male Lead's Ex

I Was the Male Lead's Ex

The original Erica was written as the pitiful ex of the novel’s male lead, Reo. Now that I’m her, I refuse that pathetic side role, and I’ll cast him aside first! But then again… the way he looks at me, with those gentle eyes… No! I must stay strong. All the male leads fall for Juliana anyway. I can’t compete with her (she’s the protagonist!), but it feels like these men are throwing me into the ring! Should I let the plot run its course or save a few broken hearts and give my destiny a rewrite?
