Just binged though all of SSS-Class Suicide Hunter to current, and goddamn what a fun one. There are so many places where I expected the story to devolve into super-tropey schlock, but it kept right on pleasantly surprising me.

reading 'Not your typical reincarnation'

it kind of is though, but I still like it. man, redhead villainess is a great character design.

typical villainess isekai, the main character tries to avoid ruin, but 'fate' keeps trying to keep her on the path. To the point that the other characters when they feel bad for her get a headache to try to force them to stay on the route. So her goal is to try to fulfill certain conditions to weaken the flow of fate.
and of course, surprise, the heroine is actually a bitch, like other typical reincarnation stories.

Just binged this one (the Webtoon release at least, listed as "I thought it was a Common Possession" on mangadex/others) to current(33?) and I quite like it, as it's a pretty different take than the widely-explored "I'm in the villainess' body and need to right all the wrongs" pathway. Where it's at on Webtoon hasn't quite made it to what I threw under spoiler tags in your quote, but I can't say it's a huge surprise.

E: read to as far as it's been fan translated (Ch. 53/apparently the end of season 1) and someone is loving with her pretty hardcore and it's down to like two candidates and I strongly dislike both of them.

Anyone got any thoughts on The Extra's Academy Survival Guide? It fits pretty solidly into the "wake up in a villain/villainess body and try fix poo poo" isekai subgenre, but dude wakes up in a VERY minor side villain that already got his rear end kicked/kicked out of the dorms right at the beginning of the hero's scenario. Now he's living in the woods, trying to build a hut and fish while still going to classes every day, and is just trying to keep the hero's story on the rails while keeping his head down. Artwork is really clean, great use of colors, I think AuraScans' translation and typesetting is pretty decent, and the story has remained interesting for 23 or so chapters so far. Mangadex has it listed, but what used to be a bunch of sequential chapters got nuked I think, so now I'm reading it on AuraScans' site itself, which seems to be fine with uBlock Origin or similar adblockers, and was mostly fine even without an adblocker on my iPad.

Mangadex (like I said, something must have gotten nuked recently from a translator slapfight or something so it's only like the past 6 chapters)

AuraScans (if it's not ok to post translator's sites I'll delete this)

I enjoyed the Survival Guide webnovel a lot, unfortunately it's stuck on Yonder so uh, good luck reading it.

Story is pretty dang good so far, and like I said I love the art. Can you tell me approximately where the webtoon is in comparison to the WN? The comic is currently at the end of the first summer break, right after the Ophilis Hall dorm fire plot masterminded by Lortelle and right as Janica helps Ed to contract Mug as a spirit.
