Ever heard of Usain Bolt, the world's fastest man? Unfortunately, he can't even hold a candle to this manhwa's author, since they somehow managed to rush 50+ chapters worth of novel story and fit them into 4 single manhwa chapters. TL;DR at bottom
I kid you not, the first 60 or so chapters were quite enjoyable. It's a typical reincarnation story with a baddass female lead that was a former empress/swordmaster, and as usual, there's a love story. Overall, it was enjoyable - no harem or love triangles, characters seemed likeable, there was this whole mysterious cult intrigue, plot had serious potential.
Sadly, the series probably got
...
axed, because the last 4 chapters were one heck of a fever dream, to the point it was rather hilarious.
It was as if I were watching a slow playthrough of Dark Souls and somewhere along the midpoint of the game, the streamer goes "Fk this game" and proceeds to fly through half the map with glitches and kills the last boss with cheats. This is the most accurate analogy I can give for this manhwa's ending and plot closure.
TL;DR I'm giving this a 5/10, since overall it was pretty fun, but the ending really soured the score. Positive points though: the ending ties most of the plot points and gives an acceptable closure to the story, so don't worry about being left on a cliffhanger; secondly, I also think the ending fits the horseshoe theory, since it's so bad, that it kinda unironically becomes hilariously memorable.

I'll keep this short and spoiler free: you need to read this manhwa. TL;DR at bottom
Story: Very interesting premise that stays captivating from start to finish. A lot of manhwas feel like a train on fire during their second half - not only is [Kill the Villainess] interesting at the start, I'd say it gets even more intense towards the end. I do have to warn you though - don't expect this story to be all rainbows and butterflies. It's a rather grim and heart wrenching read for the most past. I guarantee though that you'll love the ending.
Characters: The characters are well written, with
...
a lot of them being nuanced. Most of them have huge daddy issues and past traumas, but man they're complex, and the villains are especially revolting - I love how the author portrayed all the usual toxic ML clichés in novels. I especially adore the "love rival", and the female lead, and how unlike your usual protagonists, she actually misses her family/home. And the male lead? Gyatt dayum, this guy is the ultimate green flag. It's rare to find a husbando as good as him when manhwas are filled with toxic douches.
Art: The art is gorgeous. Any scene with the female lead could be used as a phone wallpaper, and the most important part - it stays consistent from start to finish without decaying towards the ending.
Why should you value my opinion? I've read dozens if not hundreds of manhwas, from romances, to reincarnation/transmigration tropes, to villainess tropes and a lot of them suffer from a bad case of diarrhea second half/ending, leaving you with a shitty aftertaste in your mouth. [Kill the Villainess] is worth it, it's a breath of fresh air and will leave you satisfied at the end.
TL;DR Read it! It's a dark and quite heart wrenching story, with great complex characters (some of them rather disgusting), great art and super entertaining that will keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish!

Overall, it's a good manhwa - it's entertaining, fun, has an interesting plot and keeps you rooting for the main couple BUT, just like many other manhwas out there, the ending fell kinda flat
Plot:
This story is super cliché, you've probably read it a thousand times, yet like Todd Howard once said "It just works" lol. Typical story of being reincarnated into a novel (before the canon events have started), female lead changes the course of the plot with her shenanigans and gets herself kidnapped instead of her sister, MC realizes she has to seduce the emperor (novel's villain's father) for everyone to have a happy
...
ending.
It's simple, it's nothing super innovative, but it works really well. Props to the author for making the MC's shenanigans so entertaining and for turning such a simple plot line into a fun engaging story.
There's no harem or any sort of thing like that
Characters:
MC is the typical klutzy female lead with a heart of gold whose plans/shenanigans always result in funny situations. She's the very incarnation of cute - I know it, you know it, the male lead knows it
Male lead is the handsome, cool but distant gentleman who slowly warms up to the female lead. Man has rizz
The main antagonist is a THOT, but I love her design and she has some respectable traits.
Priest dude is bae. He can't marry, because he's already married to me.
Art:
The art is quite intriguing - the characters are drawn extremely beautifully, but the issue is that the artist clearly didn't have the same type of commitment for the background scenes, so don't be shocked by the hilarious CGI horses or some of the contrasting backgrounds
TL;DR overall, it's a pretty nice read. I recommend it, and would've given it a higher rating if the last arc had been more satisfying. The ending is conclusive though and ties all ends

This manhwa is an overall solid 8 for its first 50 or so chapters. It's really comedic, entertaining and fun, having a plot that's centered around ridiculous misunderstandings
BUT holy crap are the last 10 or so chapters absolute torture to read. It's like the author grabbed some random internet stranger's fanfic and decided "Right, let's make this the canon ending". I'm not exaggerating - the last few chapters are so bad that to me, they reduced the enjoyment of the story from an 8 to a 6. When isolated, the last chapters are so fcking dumb that by themselves they'd have a score of 3,
...
because except for the art, everything else in those chapters is super stupid. The ideas were kinda there but the execution was beyond horrible
I guarantee you, you'll really enjoy reading the first season, but stay away from whatever the hell happened with season 2/ending

(Episode 1 and 2 spoilers) - TL;DR at the end
Ragna Crimson is an edgy shonen at its core. If you're a 13 year old teen, new to anime, and you're into things like tokyo ghoul, owari no seraph and stuff, you'll probably enjoy it. On the other hand, if you're already a long time anime watcher, it'll feel like more of the same recycled stuff - basically a very mediocre experience that'll bore you
Story 6/10
Cliché "I will kill all the titans/vampires/dragons" plotliine that has been reused a thousand times. The author decided to add the most bullsh*t magical time travel plot no jutsu into the
...
midst in order to make MC super OP right off episode 1 (but considering your typical shonen with dumb sh*t powerscaling, he'll still get his ass kicked somehow).
There's also some dumb plot points further down the line which I won't spoil but it's ironic how he goes through so much to save the girl and then just abandons her after emotionally crushing her lol
Art 6/10
I mean, it's not bad, but it's definitely not spectacular - definitely not on the level of ufotable, studio WIT or MAPPA shows. Sometimes the characters' faces/eyes are off by just a tiny bit, to the point where it becomes uncanny valley material - that was probably what bothered me the most
Characters 6/10
Edgy MC who wants to "Kill all the dragons" but has the personality of a wooden board, classical precious bubbly friend who gets relegated to side character status, another girl who also wants to "Kill all the dragons", random crazy b*tch, classical evil villain - it's nothing noteworthy
Pacing 6/10
I have no fcking clue how they managed to turn 1 single chapter of the manga into a 40+ minutes episode. Wait no, in fact, I do know how - by needlessly stretching the non-existent plot for 30 minutes and showing us over and over again the same cutscene of the girl dying/MC screaming. They used her death scene so much that I even started laughing after a certain point.
I understand that they were trying to build up the characters to make us care about what was going to happen, but they completely failed at it, so it just became a drag
Voice acting 6/10
Nothing spectacular or noteworthy. Can say I laughed a bit after hearing 3 times in a row the dude scream due to the girl's death
Sound design and OST 6/10
Nothing spectacular or noteworthy
TL;DR
Overall, it's a super mediocre anime that struggled to get my attention and even getting to episode 7 was a chore. I'm sure you've realized by now since I've repeated this as many times as the anime repeated the poor girl's death scene, but the only thing I can say about this anime is that "It's nothing noteworthy". Especially if you've already seen a lot of anime and are aware of all the tropes/clichés

As a long time fan of the Resident Evil/Biohazard series, I can say this movie was average. If you just want to see your favorite characters do cool stuff, ok sure watch it, but if you're looking for an actually good entertaining story, it's a pretty big dodge. If you've never had contact with the resident evil series, then don't even bother watching, because unlike past resident evil movies, this wasn't very entertaining
Enjoyment: the most important factor
I don't mind a movie with a stupid plot nor other bad characteristics, as long as it's fun and keeps me entertained. Was this movie fun? Hell no.
...
Halfway through the movie, I remember thinking to myself "Man, when does this end?". Unlike previous Resident Evil movies which had a big Unga Bunga element to them but were still very enjoyable with tons of cool moments, Biohazard Death Island is a chore to watch. It felt like running through the Sahara desert, desperately wishing for water, but you can't even see a god damn mirage of an oasis
Plot:
It's more of the same. Random crazy person with some past trauma tries to use new zombie virus strain to do evil stuff, and our main characters have to stop him. Along the way, a bunch of civilians and side characters always die, but no one really cares because it's not the main characters
Characters:
I mean, it's the protagonists of the Resident Evil games. You get to watch all your favorite characters interact with each other and do cool sh*t... but then there's the random generic villain number 59# and 60# who no ones gives a sh*t about. I legit just finished watching the movie and have already forgotten their names
Voice acting:
I rarely talk about the voice acting, but god damn, it's kinda bad. Some characters' voice acting is noticeably bad to the point where you laugh due to the complete lack of effort. It's as if they just did 1 single take and the director was like "Yeah whatever, let's go with that"
Visuals:
The visuals are overall pretty good. My only criticism is that some characters' movements seemed really stiff, and I feel that the fight choreography is worse than in the past movies
Conclusion 5/10
If 10/10 is the absolute best movie you ever watched, and 1/10 is the worst most garbage movie you've seen and 5/10 mediocre, I'd say this was a solid 5/10, pretty average overall

TL;DR A short and satisfying otome* villainess manga that doesn't try to artificially stretch itself with senseless drama nor filler content. It's straight to the point and gives you a sweet ending with closure. Overall, a pretty good read if you're short on time and don't want to get invested into a longer story 8/10
PLOT: As for the story, the synopsis on the MAL page summarizes it pretty well, but if you didn't read it, here's my own summary. It's a about your typical Victorian-era villainess from an otome game* (dating sim where you seduce/flirt with guys; MC is the villainess who tries to sabotage
...
the game's female lead that's seducing everyone, including MC's fianceé). Anyway, MC recovers her memories from her previous life the day before she gets condemned by everyone for her bullying/harassment. As such, she only has 24h to try and change her cruel fate
CHARACTERS: It's hard to have much character development in 18 chapters, but I can say I like most of the main cast. Being an otome game, a lot of the capture targets have stereotypical personalities, but who cares, they're the antagonists of the story and obstacles that the MC has to overcome
ROMANCE: It has romance - short but sweet. Won't spoil who the male lead is, but it leaves you satisfied
Overall, a pretty good read if you're short on time and don't want to get invested into a longer story. I recommend this

TL;DR This manhwa is the perfect representation of a lot of modern series: really interesting start; dumpster fire of an ending, even worse than Game of Thrones lol. Essentially, you shouldn't get invested because there's no good payoff
I'll go ahead and say it: this manhwa was most likely axed, or the author was forced to rush its ending due to deadlines/contract/lack of interest
And because of that, I feel as if season 1 and 2 are completely different stories altogether. As such, I will try to evaluate them seperately
Season 1 - overall a pretty solid experience. Has an interesting premise, male lead + female lead have
...
good chemistry, the story is entertaining and sometimes even comedic. I'd give it a score of 8/10
Season 2 - Oh boy, where do I even start lmao. From the rushed story pacing, to the decaying quality of the art, to the nonsensical plot points, it's pretty bad, and I quote "if it smells like sh*t, looks like sh*t and tastes like sh*t, then it can only be sh*t". The first half of season 2 is still pretty digestible, but the author suddenly felt the looming axe, so he fit all his planned plot points into like 10 chapters. It's such a fcking joke how bad it became. 3/10
So yeah, don't bother reading it. Unlike sh*tty stories where you know from the start that they suck ballz, this manhwa baits you with a great season 1, only to then bring utter disappointment aftewards

TL;DR absolutely phenomenal manhwa. At first, it starts as a good comedy but close to the end of the main story, it turns into an absolute must-read meta story for anyone who's tired of otome clichés. The art is legit the only criticism I can give, and even then it's still beautiful, especially the comedical facial expressions
Characters: at first glance, most of the main characters start out as typical otome stereotypes. The charming prince, the honorable knight, the mysterious mage dude, yada yada. But they are memorable and likable, especially once they start growing as people. The side characters are charming and lovely - even
...
weeks after finishing it, I still remember Gandalf, the butt head dude, etc. The naming sense is quite funny since except for the male leads and the original female lead, everyone else has sh*tpost names
Character development: Amazing. A story where the characters aren't one dimensional, thank goooood - you can actually see the male leads, the MC and even the female lead all slowly and subtly change during the story. Not only that, you can see how their relationships change over time and it gets you so invested into the story
Plot: What might at first look like a comedical gag manhwa that almost seems like a random internet sh*tpost ends up becoming really meta and deeply exploring both the impact and reasoning of a lot of tropes that are shown in otome manhwas.
To avoid spoilers, I won't go into it in great detail, but it's definitely worth it, especially the last chapters of the main story. I'll give you a gist of what happens on the first 5 or so chapters:
It's the story of a girl who one day gets transported to the world of a reverse harem novel she read - super cliché, right?She incarnates a random side character, but as a side character, for the first ten years of her new life, she can't even find the male leads. She can't even remember the details of the novel, like a normal person. And even when she meets the male leads, naturally none of them have any reason to like her. So she decides to simply watch the main story unfold by itself, but her actions slowly start distorting the original story and slowly making the characters change
The plot has a nice ending that wasn't rushed and even has 30+ chapters of epilogue for more content. I was very satisfied by the pacing
Romance: Pretty great. No sh*tty misunderstandings, no random questionable harem endings, no sudden forced romance without chemistry - our MC is such a sigma gigachad in her own romance and even in helping everyone make their feelings clear as day to avoid drama. My only issue is with the male lead - he's a bit too possessive for my taste, but if you dislike him, don't worry since the author wrote alternate endings for the other male leads
Art: probably the only thing that might seem off-putting. For male leads who're supposed to be super handsome, they look kinda iffy. But the unique style really grows on you
Overall, one of the best otome isekai manhwas I've read. Really a breath of fresh air after being drowned in a sea of generic tropes like "Reincarnated as a villainess who ends up acting good and inevitably seducing all the male leads" or "Reincarnated as side character who ends up making everyone fall in love with her" or "Reincarnated in a random novel and for some random reason I can remember every single detail, so I will use it to become OP and have a harem" or "Isekai'd into a novel and using my modern world science knowledge I built some random military logic defying business"

This is probably one of the most frustrating, infuriating and headache inducing manhwas I've read. TLDR at bottom
Beneath its pretty art lies a sea of superficial stupid characters, a bunch of dragged out arcs with chapters that feel absolutely useless, senseless plot armor, nonsensical power scaling and comically evil villains that barely get punished for their actions
Art 9/10
Legit the only thing that's good about this manhwa
Plot 3/10 - *very minor spoilers that won't affect your reading experience
This is another typical murim plot about an underdog who everyone hates that magically stumbles upon some secret plot no jutsu and ends up becoming super OP; also his
...
dad used to be super OP. I'm not against cliché stories, as long as they're entertaining or stand out positively. Unfortunately, that's not the case
Anyway, as a former noble, he ends up joining a group of bandits and from then on, it's just MC reacting to a bunch of external factors. He has absolutely no goals other than "protecting his bandit family" nor does he have any sort of action himself. Every single plot point is about some random external people that try to piss him off and then he reacts to them, because the MC has barely any personality or dreams outside of OP character who protects his family. Instead of trying to i dunno, become the fcking pirate king or something to actually have the status and political influence to protect his family, all he does is passively wait and scratch his nutz, so that the author can show off his skills when the next villain suddenly decides to piss him off
A lot of plot points are basically nonsensical - if the characters had even a single brain cell, there would've been no conflict at all. Half of the fights on this manhwa could've been avoided if people had common sense.
Most of the villains who show up end up getting no punishment at all. One dude even tried to r*pe the girls from MC's bandit family and all he did was kick his ass and let him go. That same dude was later caught blatantly lying to his superior and once again, suffered basically no real punishment at all. Another villain, due to a case of negligence that lead to a misunderstanding, nearly kills people from MC's family - once again, they fought and then there was no real punishment at all. A bunch of demon cult infiltrators were found but they let them go, because reasons lmao
The worst about all of this is that everything is so freaking artificially dragged out. Every chapter ends as a cliffhanger. Every chapter barely has any plot progress. Most fights are like this - random dude underestimates MC and messes with him/his family, tons of talking, MC fights and overpowers him - CLIFFHANGER - more talking, villain gets serious and uses secret skill, MC looks like he got hurt - CLIFFHANGER - MC is actually fine and uses bigger skill, MC wins fight, but lets villain go after giving him a beating, more talking, villain swearing he'll get revenge - CLIFFHANGER
Characters 3/10
Characters have barely any development at all. I legit don't give a single sh*t about any of them from how absolutely lifeless they feel to me.
MC's strength feels completely undeserved; his bandit family's strength also feels undeserved since they also get OP due to plot no jutsu magic; everyone's character motivations are weak af or just make no sense at all
Villains feel petty, incredibly arrogant and just annoying - author always loves to shove the sexual assault trope for some characterization. Instead of being actually threatening, they're like annoying flies that you wish would disappear; and obviously, there's no tension because you just know that MC can beat every single one of them. But none of them get actual real punishment and end up returning later just to mess with the MC again, so it just gives you the feeling of being constantly blueballed/cucked after every fight
Characters are stupid, rash and act nonsensically - a big part of why this manhwa is so bad
TL;DR save yourself some brain cells and go read another manhwa. If you want to look at pretty pictures, you're better off searching random posts in pixiv than reading this blueballing garbage
