webcomic rec of the day:

I Want to Be A Big Baddie / I Have To Be A Great Villain

Plot: A true villain is ruthless! Evil! A troublemaker! And after beating the male lead black and blue, he walks away as explosions go off on the back. Wang Yi was determined to act as this kind of storybook villain to gain enough points to fix a mistake in his own world.

Unfortunately, the male protagonist can read minds, and starts to wonder what is up with this "villain", who bullies him, yet is filled with regret and cheers him on internally. Soon enough, the protagonist doesn't follow the predetermined plot anymore. So, really, what is a "villain" to do?

Comment: I was not emotionally prepared for this story. This was pitched to me with the initial shojo high school-esque setting Wang Yi enters as his first world. I was sure the story would remain in this first escalated universe, instead I get to follow along as these two idiots keep confronting each other in new worlds, which truly jump from one genre to another. If you're searching for a story about soulmates in every universe being doomed by the narrative, this is it.

I was particularly intrigued by Wang Yi's struggle with kindness, of wanting to be kind, of believing himself incapable of being someone who's actually kind at heart.

Warnings: bullying, abuse, attempted murder and some gore. the story isn't explicit, but our main guys sure have some kinks.

Look at him. That is our yandere male lead. Thinking about how his (bottom) human is adorable.

I don’t feel like making a huge post about it right now since it would require me to write and compile images and I just screamed about it at my friends BUT…

If you’re a fan of Black Butler I recommend you check out 《玷染》 (Dianran) aka Taint 👀

And yeah okay I know the English name is a little awkward considering what “taint” means in English slang, but tbh…considering how horny this manhua is, it’s actually a pretty fitting name. 😂

But yes here’s why:

^ …Yeah I could just leave it at “read it for the hot characters” but actually I will add some more context below hahahaha:

It’s got demons, tentacles, sexualization of the church, mysteries involving dark/demonic entities in a European-inspired setting, and a bit of (not a lot just yet but still seems to be gearing up for more!) commentary on the gaps between classes.

We’ve also gotten a few clues to both main characters’ pasts, and they seemingly involve torture, experimentation, demons, deaths, amnesia, and more suffering.

It’s actually really interesting given we’re still early on in the story and we’ve gotten a few big crumbs so far, but they are still crumbs. I’m quite curious as to how all the parts of the backstory revealed so far tie together and led to our protagonists meeting the way they did today. 👀

Also the demon, Cross or Kurose, who has tentacles and is super attached to Eli, a member of the church, is very flirtatious and touchy-feely and even gets tortured and leashed and muzzled…

So you know. If you’re into that stuff, this manhua has a lot of it, even with censorship being in place. I’m genuinely surprised by how much it got away with; like in the most recent chapter (chapter 13 as of the time I’m writing this post), Cross rips off Eli’s underwear. 😂

I hope some people join me in this fandom eventually LGNSKFJSKS. So far it feels like I’ve been bursting to get my friends to read it and share it but I don’t want to be annoying to them haha.

Like if you enjoy Black Butler and I Have to Be a Great Villain and Kiss the Abyss and series like those, this could be up your alley!!

(Of course, do be aware that like those series, this one also contains “dark” content! Specifically violence with blood and all that, some less than consensual sexually tense encounters, and even body horror!)

Although I will say that hell, Cross isn’t that “toxic” or “violently possessive” of a love interest so far. He’s just clearly got his own goals which occasionally clashes with Eli’s, but it’s clear he really really likes Eli and doesn’t actually want him to come to harm, to the point of protecting him. And even when Eli is harsh with him in his distrust, Cross doesn’t mind. It makes for a fun dynamic. 👀

There is an English “fan” translation out there, but the original is on the QQ manhua app!

SPOILER

I'M IN SHAMBLES AFTER READING LATEST UPDATE OF "I Have To Be a Great Villain".

THAT SECOND WORLD ENDING IS TOO MUCH FOR MY HEART, I LOVE HOW IT ENDED BUT IT DOES HURT.

So to compensate the pain and to also hype myself on the arrival of third world concept, here's a fanart based on that last chapter. [And the speedpaint too :D]

[I'm still in pain though.]

[unnoticed-poison]

Finally posted chapter 7! 😭🎉🎉🎉

I made a meme btw!

And yes, this is a warning :)

[jasontoddiefor]

I have to be a great villain went from “haha funny” to “doomed by the narrative to play your role over and over again, hurting everyone who loves you” and I am so unwell about Wang Yi

"what should i read?" search no further (modern edition)

I have a Notion database full of everything I've read from 2020 worth mentioning - webnovels, novels, manhwas, webtoons, manhuas, whatevers and they're all rated out of 5 stars. Setting it up and organising it took 3 hours of my life that I'll never get back. Below is a list of modern-day manhwas, manhuas and mangas that I really recommend from it!

Brief disclaimer: I will mention to please be mindful of some of the content. For example, one manhwa features SA (though not between the main couple obviously), and I'm gonna mark it, but I don't remember what trigger warnings apply for the rest.

I'm gonna list them within their boxes - the first on the list is the top left of each box, the second top right, third bottom left and fourth bottom right!
