Tales of Greed is a Korean Webtoon anthology written by Juin Lee and illustrated by the Taejun Pak Webtoon Company. It was released in English from May 14, 2021, to January 21, 2022. It consists of seven stories about what happens when a person gains the use of magical technology that improves their life, only to take it too far.The arcs include: "Face Correction": A girl is bullied because of her face, so she opens up a photo editor on her phone and finds that the changes she made to her picture affect her real face. "Calling": A boy finds out that he can swap bodies with people by calling them on their phones. "Stomach Fridge": An overweight girl finds that a fridge can contain the food she eats if she licks her lips first. "Neighbor's Toilet": Two college students have to endure an hours-long commute to their respective schools until they find that flushing their toilets multiple times will transport them to each other's houses. Since each student lives closer to the other student's college, this greatly cuts down the commute time. "1 Minute": A boy steals someone's watch and finds out that it can rewind one minute up to three times. Going over that limit, however, induces a "Groundhog Day" Loop. "Bully Controller": A bullied student gets a game on his Switch that allows him to control the bully. After the bully finds out, they team up to conquer several gangs. "Human Leather": A fat boy goes on a date with a pretty girl and finds out that she's wearing a skin and trying to kill him for his. Once he escapes, he kills his bully and wears his skin, living as him.

Laser-Guided Karma: Most of the protagonists suffer a fate similar to what they have brought upon others. For starters, "Face Correction" ends with the protagonist getting her face swapped with a fish after she had used the app to disfigure and kill her bully.

Time Loop Trap: In "1 Minute", Sucheol is stuck in a minute loop when he uses the watch again after three rewinds. After going through the loop so much that he can defeat his bully, he realizes that taking off the watch ends the loop. When he gets kidnapped by the watch's previous owner, his captor kills him and triggers the watch's glitch, trapping him in a cycle of being killed with virtually no hope of escape.
