The first arc kinda reminds me of the first chapters of Cheating Men Must Die.
I just read the released raws and I don't really like the logic of some characters and the outcome.

Even though the character is a queen who likes to eat, I can't really root for or relate to her.
I like the premise of Cheating Men Must Die better
because the MC punishes everyone who harmed her host and helps side characters while in The Antagonistic Goddess Attack the MC just concentrate on the Fake FL who is actually quite pitiful in the end...
The older brother of the "ML"/second prince seems to be the annoying despicable privileged scheming mastermind character who always smiles victoriously, tease people for his own amusement and controls situation vaingloriously...
I ve read chapter 11 raw to chapter 13 raw and by the looks of it the mother of the MC LUST is probably most likely capable to beat down the arrogant prince.

I ve seen his type of character in other Mangas/Webtoons/Novels before and they rarely work hard and always sit comfortable at their high castle. I can't relate to his type of cunning character because he does not struggle or suffer at all. He is always in perfect control, never in the wrong and uses people like pawns.
There is nothing to root for him due to the fact that he was born with a silver spoon that easily allows him to look down on others.
In "Majo To Kiketsu No Kishi" there is the prime minister Alan Semerat and his personality is similar to the second prince. In this story the scheming mastermind is unsuccessful with his plans/schemes because the MC/badass witch already see through his character and does not like to be played. He can't manipulate or trick her into doing anything which is a great humilation and loss for him!
And in "Contract Concubine" we can see that the first (royal and supersmart) ML is not above everything and has problems/inner emotional struggle with the MC/FL/Badass assassin.

Looks like there isn't.
Not sure how I shall feel about "her"...
Is that character offensive or acceptable?....
I mean I think it's fine, although the character type that usually is associated with characters like her is done in an offensive way in other medias I think if the author handles it well it should be fine. The reason why I am say this is because of the way we see other characters interact with her and so far even though it is just with our skeleton he has always referred to her with the right pronoun and hasn't really questioned like you would see in the offensive ones plus he has in no shape or form disrespected her just in awe from how strong she is. Though he is a skeleton so I'm not sure how the humans would react but we can observe later. besides so far with how the author betrays the female characters in this series is in my opinion very good. they are full bodied characters and they aren't just plot points for the mc. I am actually looking forward to seeing more of this character in the future.
Why is it that illegitimate half-siblings, step-siblings or adoptive children always the psychotic bad guys?????
A sibling that has anti-social disorder is believable and hateful but most non full blood siblings are portrayed ridiculously downright evil in Asian mainstream stories!
How many times have you seen the plot twist that the MC is either not blood related with the abusive family/some family members or turns out that the younger sibling or parent is not related with the MC....
What kind of repeated message is that??? Just Why??
There are of course currently some mangas/webtoons that shows unapologetic how cruel and inhumane your own blood family can treat you:
Surviving as the heroes wife
Her Royal Highness Seems To Be Angry (Novel much better)
Villainess Level 99
The Monster Duchess and the Contract Princess
The Evil Lady will change
Futago no ane ga miko toshite hikitorarete
Forget About My Husband, I'd Rather Go Make Money
I am seriously asking myself why the red haired brother of the ML has to be the ultimate unfaced classic bad guy?
His appearence made the plot less grounded! I liked the plot the way it was before the rape incident.
It's the typical toxic plot device in a soapy BL/Shoujo/Josei story: The Uke/FL has to suffer horribly so that the Seme/ML becomes better and stronger. And the antagonist has to be a sadistic evil Sociopath that unintentionally brings the two MCs closer together.
If only these two were a little bit more wiser....
You know there is a red short haired warrior woman that resembles Pauliana.

Why is it that almost everytime a reincarnated or transmigrated MC/FL is portrayed being strong, determined and cunning and vows not get involved with the byronic ML-Hero but later falls quickly pathetic hard for the childish asshole...
I hate this monologue "What is this feeling? Why do I feel sad that he is being with another woman..."
So no matter what she does she will always end up with the classic jerk prince.
It just occur to me that these authors always put the FL in several very absurd dangerous situations so she becomes insecure, frightened, helpless, jealous and disempowered enough to be then swayed by an Alphahole...
I am so glad that stories like "The Villainess' Slow Prison Life Began With Her Broken Engagement", "The Pet of the Villainess" and "Beware of the Villainess" exist. These badass bitches know what they want and how they humilate/punish the prince.
When I started to read this story, I was hoping that such a scene dialogue would happen between these two MCs in the story progress. There were hints in the earliest chapter that the FL would be leading the power dynamic! But to our disappointment the FL has been reduced to a classic Harlequin Romance character.
Thanks for reminding me of the MC of Living as the Tyrant's Older Sister!
She has quite the consistent stubborn shrewd personality.
There is this MC with silver gray hair who was probably the first one before Melissa from Beware of the Villainess who showed brazenly her middle finger towards her toxic family/enviroment ;)
"Forget About My Husband, I'd Rather Go Make Money"











The Hero Who Seeks Revenge Shall Exterminate With Darkness...
That manga has so much fan service and gore. It is literally torture porn full of fucked up one dimensional characters...
