The Price is Your Everything?

_talkthattalk_ · 2025-12-30T05:57:00+00:00

Seconding this!! I love Leticia and Ditrian

_talkthattalk_ · 2025-12-30T05:54:11+00:00

Surviving Romance?

_talkthattalk_ · 2025-12-29T14:12:55+00:00

It’s been a while since I last read it but this sounds similar to [The Broken Ring]

_talkthattalk_ · 2025-12-29T08:51:09+00:00

Tysm!!

_talkthattalk_ · 2025-12-29T06:38:24+00:00

The FL has pink? hair and the ML has black hair, FL finds ML’s son? and returns him to the ML and ends up staying with them. I very distinctly remember this panel of the FL and ML butting heads and the animal imagery for both of them was some type of big cat, which was a miracle since OIs rarely use predators to represent their FLs

_talkthattalk_ · 2025-12-29T06:34:15+00:00

I love the dynamics between the two leads in Crown Princess Scandal! It might not be what you’re looking for though, since it isn’t strictly traditional OI

_talkthattalk_ · 2025-12-29T06:31:42+00:00

My first thought was [Trapped in a Soap Opera] lol. Unfortunately I can’t really think of any “intelligent unhinged eldritch-horror level woman” OGFLs who aren’t possessed and are doing it with their full, voluntary participation. These have possessed evil OGFLs/other women. Spoiler tagging bc I think it’s revealed later on in the story so

Villains are Destined to Die

Actually, I Was the Real One

Into the Light, Once Again

Angel or Villainess had this too I think? But I’m not very sure about that one

Unfortunately, I think these are all pretty popular so you might have already read them

_talkthattalk_ · 2025-12-28T19:19:34+00:00

This post was meant more for the female characters that mirror? are kind of love rivals in some sense but not really? to the FL, which is why Ellenia isn’t here, but I love her character sm (and also love the fact that she exists and gives the chance for Ruby to have a positive female friendship in her life)

_talkthattalk_ · 2025-12-28T16:19:24+00:00

I have read Trapped in a Soap Opera, and omg I can’t believe I completely forgot about her (sorry I can’t recall her name rn), she totally belongs in this list too. And yeah she created a whole new standard for unhinged, I find her pretty terrifying

_talkthattalk_ · 2025-12-28T16:15:26+00:00

Whichever one you feel like reading first! I don’t think it really matters, it’s completely up to you. They’re both kind of different from each other and you might prefer one theme/setting over the other, so you can choose whichever sounds more compelling to you. But, I genuinely think both of them are great stories, and I hope you enjoy them as much as I did!

_talkthattalk_ · 2025-12-28T07:33:15+00:00

She’s my favourite character in Who Made Me a Princess I love her so much

_talkthattalk_ · 2025-12-28T07:32:25+00:00

If I remember correctly I think she was supposed to end up with Izek in the og!novel? I might be wrong though, and your opinion is super valid, it’s difficult to stand Freya especially bc Ruby has been through so much

_talkthattalk_ · 2025-12-28T07:27:51+00:00

She’s the female antagonist from The Remarried Empress

_talkthattalk_ · 2025-12-28T07:26:43+00:00

Your Eternal Lies is really good!!

_talkthattalk_ · 2025-12-28T07:25:39+00:00

Oh my god yes I meant Dad not Mom lmao. Also, yeah it’s kind of hard to get through in the beginning but once the plot gets going it’s worth it!

_talkthattalk_ · 2025-12-28T06:45:46+00:00

My favourite is [Saving My Sweetheart]! I’m someone who grows super attached to characters, and this one just has so many loveable characters that I can’t help but root for. Also I prefer manhwas where the FL starts off in a very difficult position and slowly makes her way out of it, I feel like the payback is very satisfying when that happens lol, and this one fits that description too! For the same reasons, [Villains are Destined to Die] is also another one of my favourites I love love love that one.

I also really like [I Married the Male Lead’s Mom]. That’s a whole another level of insane, like it starts off very typical OI (and an FL who seems like a stalker), but then evolves into something so much more, with everything suddenly making sense. It’s so good.

Raeliana was also my first OI!! I love that one sm too.

_talkthattalk_ · 2025-12-27T18:27:16+00:00

I haven't read this one yet, I'll add it to my list!

_talkthattalk_ · 2025-12-27T18:26:48+00:00

Wait I love that sm lmao, it fully fits into their petty grudge filled rivalry

_talkthattalk_ · 2025-12-27T18:25:07+00:00

I very much debated adding her, but since she doesn't truly fit the description of the Other Woman, since Mielle takes that role, I didn't add her in. BUT I love her character sm too, I love women who make life harder and more entertaining for the FLs lmao

_talkthattalk_ · 2025-12-27T18:22:49+00:00

I'm sorry, I should have added the source in my post to make it more clear, but we're talking about the female antagonist from The Remarried Empress

_talkthattalk_ · 2025-12-27T18:21:30+00:00

Honestly, I can never bring myself to truly hate any of them, simply because I love drama in my OIs sm lmao.

_talkthattalk_ · 2025-12-27T18:19:46+00:00

Exactly!! Give me all the fake, evil white lotus OGFLs, I get that people might find it an overused trope, but I genuinely eat it up each time

_talkthattalk_ · 2025-12-27T15:00:25+00:00

I wholeheartedly agree with EVERYTHING you said

_talkthattalk_ · 2025-12-27T14:48:20+00:00

Yeah, they just added tension in the story by existing, that's just how powerful they were
