Akuyaku Reijou no Naka no Hito ~Danzai sareta Tenseisha no Tame Usotsuki Heroine ni Fukushuu Itashimasu~

You didn't understand what I wrote, then
I'm not complaining about the story being long, are seriously considering manga that is 27 chapters as a long manga? I'm complaining about the lack of complexity. It's mind-blowing that someone can think that making something longer means it's automatically more complex. Without any new plot lines, it's just pure bloat filled with bulling a very pathetic stupid girl.

And when the villain stops being any danger, watching her suffer is just as exciting as watching goku beat up a wheelchaired retiree for the entirety of the manga, It makes MC herself look rather pathethic and she used to be awesome in the early chapters.

If this is your point you didn't say that. "the beginning was great, but the story should have been way way shorter" I don't know how else I am supposed to interpret this as anything other than "I think the story should have been shorter".

These kinds of revenge stories have a few staples and typically there is set up and pay off of revenge, usually with over the top manipulative villains that is supposed to appeal to specific kinds of people who have been the victims of this kind of behavior. Pina isn't a ridiculously stupid girl who is probably autistic,

Spoiler: spoiler

She is a college student with a penchant for bullying. She has ruined multiple people's lives in multiple different worlds through lying and manipulating people. She was expelled from her university for bullying someone. She has tried to actively get people to kill themselves. She planned to have Emi sexually assaulted. She is pathetic, but that doesn't mean someone hurt by her who had someone hurt by her can't want revenge.

Remilia had a lot of set up to get to this point, and the actual payoff of the revenge has been only a few chapters so far. All she's done is let her make an ass out of herself and aired out her dirty laundry using the same tools Pina has used against her: manipulation. Vague statements, leading questions, and the most deadly insult of all: pity. Difference is, Remilia has evidence and an actual motivation for doing this that isn't selfish.

I don't think this is a pacing issue or a lack of a plot that has become bloated because again, this is short and we haven't even been in the "revenge" portion for a very long time. I think it's just not the kind of story you like. Because you don't like it, you probably don't see what the point of her actions is. It's not a very "deep" plot, but I think more importantly it's just not the kind of story you wanted. This isn't an action series meant to keep you on the edge of your seat wondering how Remilia will take down Pina, it's about watching a clearly awful person get payback. Because it's a revenge manga.
