OHHHH i hate it when the villainess forgives whoever wrongs them and end up with them...?!??! Like MISS GURL he literally killed you/ destroyed ur life?!?!? like are u just gonna fucken ignore that fact?!?! I hate it if the villianess was framed so that makes it even worse like Ma'am give it a break, just beat them and not pay attention to them
5 cuz they think they better than all the other characters and just use them
I completely agree! I too feel like they don't really behave like a villainess and more like a heroine. ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
Since your top list is really similar to mine I want to rec you this:
http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/i_want_to_be_you_just_for_a_day/
The trope I hate is when they get with the crown prince or king. Which, I know, is almost all of them. But I haaaate it.
I hate Mary Sue.
I hate when the character doesn't go on to work at anything. Like, they don't study or learn or improve.
Most of all, I hate the 'perfect' male lead with a tragic backstory. Give me a ml with weight. Male leads should have other things to do than be rich and stoic. The Villainess Reverses The Hourglass is my favorite example of a ml done right.
OMG IKR like I can't stand it! Why would they do that (TT)?? I DON'T CARE IF YOU GO BACK INTO THE PAST BEFORE HE DID THAT!! IF HE ALREADY DID HORRIBLE THINGS I DON'T CARE IF HE CHANGES AND BEGS FOR FORGIVENESS HE'S GOTTA FEEL SOME PAIN! THERE'S NO I'D WANNA BE TOGETHER WITH SOMEONE LIKE THAT! I'm just confused??? I JUST WISH I COULD KNOCK SOME SENSE INTO THOSE KIND OF VIlLAINESS! LIKE YOU'RE A VILLAINESS IF YOU DON'T DEAL WITH THE PERSON WHO CAUSED YOU THE MOST PAIN( the Main lead is most of the time the cause the villainess's suffering)THEN YOU'RE NOT TRULY GETTING REVENGE! =_=
It's honestly so good ( ◜‿◝ )♡
Ohh boy this one is gonna be long xD
Here i go~
"Plot armor activated 24/7" -
would love it if its less op. .for fuks sake let mc face danger, get hurt and suffer. Where's the fun if she ends up winning everyone over with just smile and few honey words so easily?? --__--
"Multiple reincarnated individual" -
it can make things thrilling and exciting unless author decides to make it all happy go lucky nakama bullshit. It becomes hella cringy.
"Mcs excepting their new lives easily" -
... Let us see mc struggling to adjust to the new world and feeling sad or frustrated after loosing her old life and family..They always wake up and be like 'wlp guess its my life n be A-O-K.
"Perfect mc" -
Its fine butttt naaah. Give them flaw but not to the point it becomes annoying and
less charmingg. They Should be developing with story. I personally love it when nice people snaps and starts to do evill shits without making the good people suffer.too much.
"The reincarnated Villainess vs the MC"
ughhhh.. I don't like it.. they don't have to be at each other's throat. The og mc doesn't have become the Villainess.. they can have opposite ideology and different ways of doing things.. and still be good rival and have somewhat respectful attitude to one another..
""Opponent looking good but zero brain and is a continuous loser"
its not fun. Make the Villain smart and threatening who give mc hard time winning. (•ˇ_ˇ•) face slapping ain't satisfying otherwise(￣∇￣") (￣ε(#￣)Σ
Tbh i would love to see Villainess isekai with yuri or it be an action, adventure story without any romance ╮(￣▽￣)╭ still hoping to see "Eliza" get manga/anime adaptation..
Anyway thats all for me now.
My thoughts written out╰( ･ 3 ･ )
I need to sit down and have tea with you
i fucking hate those mary sues, perfect in every way, no flaws- it hurts me, hurts me so much, when a MC is so perfect, it doesn't make her feel human... sorry not sorry but that's why I dropped http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/a_capable_maid/?u0ac and http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/doctor_elise/?Gu5k . I would choose the villainess in this story: http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/virtues_of_the_villainess/?pRIz over those any days of the week.
I love villainess stories but I've read my fair share of them to spot all the repeating cliches that are kind of starting to get to me. There a few that will always land on the top of my list like, Beware the Villainess, The Villainess Reverses the Hourglass, and this one is actually a novel called The Villainess' Dark Side.
Most of the villainess stories have at least one or more of these cliches:
1. The somehow end up being the one that was wronged
2. Either they are a person you take complete pity on
3. Or they are a complete "badass", that is super-smart, capable of running thousands of businesses, and somehow have the most uncommon knowledge of making soap, shampoos and the basis for creating a functional economy
4. Or hardworking and just wants to live a commoner life (She's the girl that rejects the alimony in a divorce and asks for a job instead)
5. Their personalities always! Always change! Because we need to look down on women who enjoy flower picking, tea parties, and socializing. Who likes getting an expensive, showy dress once in a while.
Most of the Villainess stories no longer feel like Villainess stories. It's like they took a Heroine and slapped the label of Villainess on her, especially isekai villainess.
The Villainess Reverses the Hourglass is by far my favorite.
To which I ask which cliches do you hate the most in the villainess tag?
