As Kill The Villainess Chapter 98 approaches, we will see the aftermath of Eris’ death play out. Eris had been wishing to die and return to her old world ever since finding herself trapped in the body of a romance novel’s villainess. Despite experiencing abuse, overwork, and lack of appreciation in her real life, at least there she did not have to deal with obsessive men dictating her every move.
Though fans were saddened to see Anakin and Eris parted after their emotional confession, they felt glad that Eris finally got the wish she had held all along – to die and leave this fantasy world behind.
Unlike a typical villainess reincarnation story where the protagonist tries to use plot points to their advantage for a happy ending, Eris’ experience had been more realistic.
Her sole desire was to return to her own world, no matter how difficult reality was there, as it was still home to her. Now as the story concludes, we will see the aftermath of her wished-for death come to fruition at last.
After finding herself trapped in the body of a villainess in a fantasy romance novel, Eris endured endless hardships in this unfamiliar world.
She was labeled as wicked while the male leads became obsessed with possessing her, disregarding Eris’s own desires. Her only wish was to return to the difficult yet real life that she knew.
Kill The Villainess has broken the conventions of the popular Otomeisekai genre by allowing its villainess protagonist to die and achieve her goal of going back home.
While fans mourn the tearful goodbye between Eris and Anakin, they wonder if Anakin will defy expectations too by following Eris to her modern-day world to stay together.
As the story builds to its climax, readers anxiously await whether Eris and Anakin will somehow still gain a happy ending together.
With Chapter 98’s release approaching, the story is sure to reveal more about Eris’s return to her reality after death and what it means for her budding romance with Anakin across the world. Kill The Villainess continues to set itself apart with its tragic heroine and unexpected twists on Isekai storytelling.
Recap and Review
In the last chapter, Eris questions if Anakin has real feelings for her. Anakin responds by asking if she truly doesn’t know, pointing out he wouldn’t kiss someone he didn’t care for deeply. This confession leaves Eris conflicted.
She had believed Anakin’s unwavering loyalty and support stemmed from her possession of Eris’s body and his role as her protector. Yet Anakin reveals his devotion comes from affection for her true self, not obligation. He loves the woman within the villainess’s shell.
Eris depended on Anakin’s steadfast presence and erroneously assumed his motivation was tied to duty.
Now she must contend with his earnest admission of affection for the person she is beyond her ties to this fantasy world. Anakin willingly embraced loving the unexpected woman fate paired him with.
As Eris grapples with Anakin’s genuine confession prior to her desired death, glimmers of hope for posthumous romance loom. Yet the star-crossed lovers’ time together dwindles.
Readers anxiously await whether the transcendence of death and worlds apart can enable lasting love to conquer all.
Spoilers and Expectations
As Eris’ execution nears, she embraces Anakin and makes an extraordinary request – to join her in death so they may attempt to reunite in her real world should an afterlife exist.
Eris admits it may be nonsense and impossible, potentially costing Anakin his life for naught. Yet if there’s any chance they could find each other again beyond death, she asks him to take that leap of faith.
Eris drops to her knees and pleads for Anakin to die alongside her and follow her soul, professing her deep love for him. Anakin questions if she is certain, and Eris calls him an idiot for not being angry at her audacious suggestion.
Overcome with emotion, Anakin confesses he feared abandonment but foolishly hoped Eris would stay. Now, he is overjoyed to know there is a chance for them to remain together in some form. As if by fate, a vial appears in Eris’ palm – the final component to activate the ritual.
