That aside, the tag villainess is more for the flair, the aesthetics, and the genre. But as you might know, you actually never ever see a real villainess in all the villainess stories.

They are mostly heroines under a different name who often end up selling fashion accessories, bakery goods, and soap to the fantasy world. And the obligatory break-up of an arranged marriage.

If I write a fanfic, I am writing one where Geralt saves the girl and she grows up to be the big, strong princess-mage she was destined to be. And is cute and frilly the whole way.

You remind me ...

That looks cute, but its not the same girl. She must be saved!

I meant you, not Siri ... I think?

Need some more unapologetically evil FL’s. I support women’s rights and women’s wrongs.

They have a difficult standing, in my exp. Hard to ... sell.

You shouldn't be selling women.

The characters, baka~.

I have two works, one a fanfic, the other an original. The MC is essentially the same as is her personality. But the environment is different, so her personality shows different aspects.

In the fanfic she is a tad more unhinged, which is not always well taken. A woman’s vices are measured by vastly different standards.

Whereas they would easily pass for a male one. At least, that is my impression.

That is true, isn't it.

The classic, woman does x in novel = arrogant stuck up green tea bitch. Male wannabe hero does same x = somehow still respectable member of society. ???????

Sometimes, it isn't about what they do, but how they do it. It's why you can't really swip-swap men and women in certain roles without making other adjustments.

If it were only that ... I can only say that I found readers to be much more severe and judgemental.

That can definitely happen, yeah.

Anyway, judging by your work, you also advocate stronk woman.
