recommendations pls
hii! i’m still pretty new to OI manhwa, i actually got into the genre by accident after watching *why raeliana ended up at the duke’s mansion* on netflix. i ended up loving it that i read both the manhwa and the web novel afterward.
since then, i’ve been exploring more OI series, and so far my favorites are:
* the perks of being a villainess
* the villains are destined to die
i really enjoy stories with a smart, capable FL who actively drives the plot, and a competent ML who isn’t passive or just there for decoration. i also prefer plots that focus on strategy, mystery, politics, survival, or character development rather than misunderstandings.
one thing i don’t really enjoy is when misunderstandings become the main source of conflict for the entire story, like in *for better or for worse*
does anyone have recommendations for manhwa with a similar vibe? 👀
