Another villainess manhwa to the pile of these genre but with a twist lol the story starts with the typical plot of oh i am woman that is hated by my family and dont what to do with my life which is surprisingly relatable i might add that started playing this new trending otome game how does an niche genre as otome gets trending? ask the author after finishing the game it gives a notice that the hard mode has unlocked and now she can play as the villainess in the game so of course she starts playing real hard on the game and notices how hard it is for her to stay alive in the game after sleeping for a bit she wakes up in the body of penelope the mentioned villainess and now she has to stay on top of her game to keep her head above her shoulders. Like the title implies this story is bingable you sit down and you read and read like junk food because thats what it is theres no deeper meaning besides enjoying this story as a typical case of villainess genre that is somewhat unique but what sets this story apart from the normal stories? simple the stupid gauge that every male lead has above their head the main character can see how much the characters like her by a and it shakes up a bit the formula with 2 of the 4 male lead starting their gauge in the minus numbers you can see what makes it more interesting it also had a choice system at the beginning but that got thrown away so the tension of making choices was gone then it devolves itself like any other villaines hiting the same notes yet i cant stop reading it. Lets talk about the characters the MC is... clever yet stupid she is smart enough at times to not get herself killed and she knows how to talk back yet she gets in those situations herself and assumes stuff that might actually get her killed but again she is interesting as a wronged heroine type and i do like how she puts in place some of the male leads and talking about the male leads... boy do i not like them i hate stories that deal with a character getting abused and only because the MC involves itself in their body the characters that abused her are now loving her lets start with the most annoying of the 4 reynold by god do i want to cave his teeth with my fist he didnt care about the penelope before the MC came in and the reason why she is so bullied in the household was because of him now normally you would think that this character duty in the story is to fuck off to do his own business but no throught the story after penelope starts talking to him and he starts developing this big brother persona that tries to protect the MC now i wouldnt mind this if he wasnt a fucking piece of shit before the story at least we do get the MC yelling at him for his shit which is nice so do look forward to that. The second male lead derrick also hates the main character but he is more bearable i wouldnt mind drop kicking him but he is nice enough i can buy him changing his personality throught the story to the point i might even look forward to his face appearing once or twice and he does have some semblance of regret for what he has done so yay for that i guess the 3rd male lead is... well.. an slave he gets brought over later on and he is an slave that the MC bought she did it because thats her ticket to the good ending or something... ill be honest here and say that i hate the saving the slave by buying him approach but at least he is happy... right? he is a blank state he doesnt have a personality except i will follow you MC to the end of earth which is incredibly meh. Now the 4th male lead is interesting he is a murderous bastard that is willing to take the MC throat the first time she meets him and i gotta say he is actually the one im looking forward the most in the story due to how interesting he is as a character i guess it says something that i actually forgot there was another male lead while doing the review but who cares about the mage at least he is okay? actually i think he is one of the two that doesnt treat the MC as shit now theres one more character that i must talk about which is the father of penelope and the same as the first male lead i talked about i too wish for him to fuck off and die but thats just me being biased he gets slightly? better even if the MC barely talks to him and he like the brother has a must protect MC persona later on on the MC which i also hated. The art is good i think this one is one of the few manhwa that i actually think the art is noteworthy to read for it has some care in the backgrounds and the details in the main character are noticeable and good a lot of good constrasting colors. Beyond that can i say i like this manhwa? yes even with the criticism the story is okay enough for me to keep reading and i do like seeing a happy feeling story about a character getting her life together i would honestly even recommend it as a first read in the villainess genre if you are interested to dive in.
