Taste-matched follow-ups
These picks stay near the revenge mission, grimoire magic, and female hero feel, then widen out into a few deeper cuts.
Closest matches first, then broader nearby picks.
Why this fits: Devil May Cry brings the same punchy, grimoire-style fantasy energy, with demon-hunting action that keeps moving and jokes landing between fights. Where A Livid Lady's Guide to Getting Even leans on a vengeful spellcaster’s mission, Devil May Cry swaps in horror creature battles and a sharper, irreverent attitude.
Why this fits: Bai Ri Cheng Wang keeps the urgency high, with an action-fantasy setup driven by a ticking deadline and constant momentum. A Livid Lady's Guide to Getting Even also thrives on a determined heroine using magic to push back against a corrupt homeland, but Bai Ri Cheng Wang adds romance and a more deadline-fueled, episodic pace.
Why this fits: The Legend of Vox Machina matches the same adult animated fantasy fun, where danger and comedy share the screen without slowing down. A Livid Lady's Guide to Getting Even centers on a single furious magic user, while Vox Machina throws you into brutal monster chaos with a bickering misfit crew and bigger, messier set pieces.
Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation brings wilderness survival and betrayal-heavy flashbacks that feel built for long, personal revenge arcs like A Livid Lady's Guide to Getting Even. You get more reincarnation fantasy and family bonds, but the payback is slower and more psychology-first than grimoires-fueled crushing.
Avatar: The Last Airbender offers a road-trip family adventure with elemental magic and monster battles, which can broaden the action side of A Livid Lady's Guide to Getting Even. The practical difference is lighter, more episodic peril and quest structure, with less institutional darkness and fewer revenge-focused endgames.
I Want to Love You Till Your Dying Day leans hard into bleak survival and blood-soaked forbidden feelings, a darker emotional lane than A Livid Lady's Guide to Getting Even. Expect secretive institutional violence and high mortality, but less overt “getting even” plotting and more grief-driven, intimate stakes.
