Agreed.
The manga is awesome on so many levels, and in a departure from my normal opinions on adaptations, what I've seen of the anime adaptation is spectacular. Any changes to the manga have been actually impressive add-ons (example: the more detailed and dynamic battle between Fern and Lügner), the animation is detailed and absolutely gorgeous...
Frieren has been one of my favourite manga - if not my number one favourite - for a couple of years now, and the anime...I was lucky I got to see it in Japan on Netflix. Here, I'll need to go to Apple TV or something to get it.
I mean, one of my something like six threads that I've made since 2015 has been about it; shows my feelings on the matter.

Am now reading another 'Woke up in a Fantasy World' Romance Manwha, Kill the Villainess. Standard idea, right? Person from our world wakes up in the body of the villainess from the romance novel she just finished reading.
But as always with these Manwha, it takes its own path outside of the basic setup, and that path is pretty wild and interesting. O_o
On a side note, I've tried to read Japanese manga of a similar genre (it looks like Japan has realized how popular these Manwha are and is starting their own versions). And...it's not at all the same. I don't know the cultural reasons, but the few I've tried have been, much like Isekai manga, very much power fantasies. Not nearly as interesting for me.

Kill the Villainess is turning to not be a romance, but an extremely dark tragedy. Yeesh. And yet, very well-written and compelling, I can't stop turning the pages.

Man, this manwha. It's building up to the climax now, and it's just a constant litany of 'men who think they know what's best for a woman and don't listen to her at all, which is horrible for everyone involved.'
It's also not crudely shoehorned in; the plot and characters have been very consistently making this point - quite well - throughout the story.
Edit: There is ONE guy who unquestioningly accepts the main character, who follows her desires, who trusts her, who doesn't try to impose his own ideas on who she is. And he makes that point rather well at the end of it all, speaking with one of the other characters.
It's good stuff.
