Karma Payback Short Dramas

The largest trope label in our catalogue at 100 series, and the one that best describes what this whole format sells: someone gets what is coming to them, on schedule. Runs 10 to 78 episodes, median 50 — about $30 to finish at our modelled rate, and that is a ceiling, not a quote.

How this page was built

Editorial policy

The 187 series on this page carry Karma Payback as a trope label in the catalogue of the platform that publishes them. We do not tag series ourselves, which means this page is exactly as complete, and as inconsistent, as the platforms' own labelling. Episode counts and runtimes are read from each platform's listing for that specific series; coin prices come from the in-app purchase tiers Apple publishes for each app. We hold complete pricing for all 187. Nothing on this page is a paid placement, and we do not rank by anything we were given for free.
