This is one of those stories that seemed to be no different from other popular anime or manga. When I started my adventure with "Kill the Villainess", I thought that I would spend a few days on it because of the boring and predictable plot. I couldn't be more wrong. Already after the second chapter I noticed that this was something different. As a result, instead of several days, I stayed up until 4 a.m. to finish reading in one go.

This is undoubtedly one of the best manhwas that perfectly captures the characters' feelings. In my anime journey, where I have experience with over 600 ... series, this is one of the best. I think the character development is comparable to Violet Evergarden, if not better, because of such difficult topics as suicide, family and rape. I really liked the fact that the author showed not only dialogues, but a large part of them were the characters' thoughts. This is a big factor in why so many people can relate to the "antagonist", which comes down to a more enjoyable read.

Despite heavy topics and little reading (at least for me), the plot moves rather slowly, which allows you to fully focus on the characters' feelings. Their relationships are well handled and work well with the plot. Ending is really satysfying, though it didn't stop me from the desire to stay in bed for a month. Big advantage is that all threads are finished and nothing was left behind from the story of supporting characters.

The drawing, like in manhwa is very pleasing to the eye. Facial expressions are well made and i never noticed anything akward. Also you can see the surrounding in every drawing so the pages never felt empty.

To sum up, it's been a long time since I saw something this good and I haven't shed so many tears even after finishing the story. "Kill the Villainess" is a brilliant psychological drama and deserves more attention. I would really like to see an anime adaptation someday.

What I wrote is based solely on the manhwa, because I haven't read the novel and I don't know if the plot is different in these versions.
