Villains Are Destined to Die, Vol. 3

Product Information

Character | 9 | I really like Penelope as an MC. She's relatable, intelligent, and very self-aware. The only thing I dislike is some of the other characters. I feel that they can be developed a little more? The good thing though is as a reader I have the ability to hate her brothers just as much as her LOL. Desperately Craves Affection: The original Penelope only wanted to be loved by her adoptive family, and most of her actions were born of her desire to be noticed and given attention by them. Also the reason as to why Callisto latches very strongly to our Penelope, as he has no one else to love and trust. Assassin Outclassin': Callisto in his first appearance brings an assassin that he has already beaten into a bloody pulp to his brother's banquet so he can decapitate said assassin in front of his brother and the ambitious nobles.

Also x3, the pacing is shit. Penelope's very important birthday doesn't feel like a looming disaster if it didn't happen by chapter 50. It's chapter 124, the Third Season has ended, and it still hasn't happened. I don't know why I'm reading this. Most importantly the Golden Dragon's fang, an artifact powerful enough to destroy the world. Ivonne-Layla's goal is to retrieve it from the palace. No Social Skills: Penelope is rather caustic and not above resorting to violence, harsh language or threats when necessary, when in a bad mood or Just Because. She's also almost completely unable to tell when people she speaks to are actually concerned for her or care about her because she just assumes everyone hates her due to her abusive upbringing.

Enjoyment | 9 | I enjoy it a-lot, clearly. The only thing though, is some chapters are skippable or sometimes a little boring.

The romance is just absolutely lovely. Even though it's categorized as a reverse harem its clear to the readers half way through that the main character could only romantically love one person. Their relationship build up also feels surprisingly natural and they both just feel like such a good match. She'smanipulative and driven, he's paraniod and almost world weary. They both have terrible lives and it just makes scene when they start to seek comfort from each other. Protagonist-Centered Morality: Discussed In-Universe. Siyeon notes that Penelope's portrayal in hard mode is far different from how she's viewed in normal mode, which implies some of this trope is in effect. Which acts as foreshadowing that something isn't quite right with Ivonne. Large and in Charge: Callisto. He is the tallest of the cast at six feet one and is basically in charge of the empire since his father is quite useless.Hoist by Their Own Petard: Layla-Ivonne tries a Deliberate Injury Gambit during Penelope's coming of age ceremony to try getting rid of Penelope. But Penelope knowing this and thinking she's already lost, drinks the poison instead. Because Penelope got poisoned instead of her, some of the male love interests and the duke become suspicious of Layla-Ivonne, which prevents her from being able to manipulate them like what happened in the Normal route. Gossip Evolution: By the time the Annual Hunt and Penelope's trial on trumped up charges is over the Court and the Nobles are under the impression that Callisto and Penelope had a love affair which Penelope decided to end due to the difference in status, but Callisto decided not to accept it and kept stalking her... The truth is nowhere close to what actually happened.
