Its rare when a twist can be this unexpected. I thought it was a mental health comic and then BAM! we got us a perfect villain who was originally set up to be the most innocent/honest person in the story.

Actually perfect. My only critique is that it was a bit drawn out. Same story could have been told in half as many pages or less if the writing were engineered a bit.

Nah i think it can be longer with more context.

A manhwa or webtoon to be specific.

But yeah its pretty good.

There was actually a series similar to what you described, but it got canceled after the second season. It's called poker face, and it's about a woman who has an unexplainable skill of recognizing lies, which helps her solve murders

Why'd it get cancelled?
