Okay, so you're looking for 'Kill the Villainess'. The legally available reading options right now are a bit fragmented. The official English version of the manhwa (the webtoon) is published on Tappytoon. That's your primary source for the most up-to-date chapters. Sometimes, the licensing terms for series like this can shift, so it's always good to check the publisher's social media for announcements.
For the original novel, the official English translation is on the Yonder app. I dipped into it there, but the app's coin system for unlocking chapters wasn't for me—I prefer a subscription model. If you're a novel-first person, that's the spot, though.
It can be frustrating when a story you love is split across platforms, and I've definitely seen some confusion in fan spaces about where to go. Your best bet is to search directly for 'Kill the Villainess' on those two apps to see which format and payment style suits you.
Tappytoon for the comic, Yonder for the novel. Those are the official English licenses. I read it on Tappytoon; the vertical scroll format works well for the art. Just be ready for weekly pass timers unless you buy episodes outright. The novel translation on Yonder is decent, but the app's UI is clunky.
Honestly, the legal landscape for this one is pretty straightforward but not ideal. Tappytoon has the manhwa. It's fine, the translation is solid, but their update schedule sometimes feels glacial compared to fan scanlations that used to be everywhere before the license. I miss the community chatter that used to happen chapter-by-chapter on aggregate sites.
Yonder has the novel, locked behind a pay-per-chapter model that I find irritating. I want to binge, not budget coins. I ended up just waiting for potential physical releases because of that. It's a good story with a sharp protagonist, but accessing it legally requires patience or spending more than I'd like.

If you're looking for 'Kill the Villainess,' I totally get the hype—it's one of those webtoons that hooks you right from the first chapter. The official English translation is available on platforms like Tapas or Tappytoon, which are great because they support the creators while giving you a smooth reading experience. I usually prefer official sources since they ensure the translation quality is top-notch, and the updates are consistent.
That said, I’ve also stumbled across fan translations on aggregator sites, but those can be hit or miss. Sometimes the scans are blurry, or the translations feel clunky. Plus, there’s the ethical side—supporting the official release helps the series thrive. If you’re tight on coins, some platforms offer free episodes or ways to earn points through ads. Either way, it’s worth checking out the official routes first—they often have bonus content like author notes or special episodes!
I get obsessive about tracking down official releases, so here's where I usually start when I want to read 'My Next Life as a Villainess' without doing anything shady.
First stop: Seven Seas Entertainment. They publish the English-language manga, so you can buy physical volumes from bookstores (Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Bookshop.org) or order directly from Seven Seas' webstore. If you prefer digital copies, check Kindle, BookWalker, and ComiXology — those stores often have e-manga editions for sale, and BookWalker especially runs frequent sales if you like waiting for discounts.
If you want to borrow instead of buy, my library app (Libby/OverDrive) sometimes carries the print volumes or can request them through interlibrary loan. And a quick tip: follow Seven Seas and official social accounts for new release dates and bundle deals. Supporting official channels keeps the series coming, which feels great when you love a character like Catarina.
