Cheating Men Must Die (CN Manhua)
Spoiler for Some sample covers of each arc:
Other titles : Wan Zha Chao Huang/ 万渣朝凰 Author/Artist : Shidai Man Wang Link : https://mangadex.org/title/40778/cheating-men-must-die Spoiler for Synopsis:
Spoiler for Usual questions:
Meta-satire Chinese manhua with a strong-willed, cunning, cruel female lead. Series is an episodic anthology, MC always travels to various different novel worlds in each arc. Each arc tends to poke scathing fun at the tropes and cliches of various transmigrator/isekai novels/stories, esp. the romance ones. It also pokes fun at the sometimes warped thinking, logic and values of the male/female leads you find in these type of novels. (IMO author is satirising CN novels in general, but some could be applicable to webnovel/webtoon works too.) There's also a short prequel to the manhua. https://mangadex.org/title/47503/che...prime-minister Last edited by zztop; 2020-09-02 at 22:49. |

The last arc (Concubine's Daughter is Venomous) ended as it should, although I wonder if the decision of the emperor not to remarry might cause further trouble down the road of that world.
Newest translated arc (A Literary Giant's Downfall) is focusing on taking down a plagarizing female transmigrator. Said transmigrator is using her pre-knowledge of famous novels to copypaste them under her own name and become rich, at the expense of the original authors (ie. current world's Su Luxia). Major catch this arc is: - Author Su Luxia is still alive. So Agent Su Luxia can only exist as her independent self to advise the author (and possess her if the author allows it). - Agent Su can't use her tools and can only exist in a tiny form (similar size to her rat subordinate) due to energy-saving mode caused by sudden System maintenance. Of course, this is just an interesting challenge for Agent Su to overcome. |
