Honestly Endo and Kobayashi’s Live Commentary on the Villainess doesn’t have as dark of a story as Villains are destined to die, but it does have a great looming threat just like Villains Are Destined to Die. Although the “villain” in Endo and Kobayashi’s Live Commentary on the Villainess isn’t the main character the story does still mainly revolve around her. Both manga are attempting to save a misunderstood “villain”. Although Endo and Kobayashi’s Live Commentary on the Villainess has a lot of cute sence their is so much mystery surrounding what is really going on I can’t help but long for more chapters. I do think the story needs a bit more work when explaining the backrounf of characters tho.
8.The Villain’s Savior

Death is the Only Ending for the Villainess has a similar “tragedy” aspect to it, despite not playing a big enough role to be labelled as one of the genres. The female protagonist, of this webcomic is very alert of her situation and wants to find a way to save her life. Kind of similar to the situation in The Villain’s Savior, but opposite. (Instead of saving the meal lead’s life, it’s the own female protaganist’s.) Whether or not it is the same, you’ll enjoy the story as well.

Both Main characters are fighting against their known tragic future that most likely ends in death. Taking matters into their own hands.

Strong protagonist who in the past/original lived everyone thought they were strong but only really became strong in this new life they vowed to change. Also it’s interesting to see the parallels with their past, present, and future.
