Villains Are Destined to Die, Vol. 3

Product Information

Living MacGuffin: Penelope, when her soul vanished after dying constantly, shattering the time loop and the world stopped. Oblivious to Love: Penelope, Penelope and Penelope. As she has tunnel vision with making sure to survive and escape her predetermined death, she seems refuse to notice or can't truly believe in the affection that the love interests show her, always second guessing and comparing their behaviors with their Normal Mode Game counterparts... art is pretty unique. i like the sketch/water color vibes. world building is meh - mage is a possible ml and he’s way more interesting than some of the mls. would like to see this developed better since it’s still pretty bare bones and still feels like we’re waiting on the real action but otherwise it’s a standout in its genre. Protective Charm: Charms are made of gems set in pendants or brooches, and in fact are fashionable (if expensive) accessories and gifts. Penelope gives 3 to people close to her; her father, a love interest, and her maid. In the first two cases it saves their lives.

Villains Are Destined To Die Chapter 78 - Death Is the Only Villains Are Destined To Die Chapter 78 - Death Is the Only

Cast from Hit Points: The wizard in the cave near under the imperial hunting grounds was attempting to create a teleport point to allow the Leyla to infiltrate the palace, which killed him. While this isn't universal to all magic, the most powerful spells seem to require this. So again I was about to drop it around ch20 yet I forced myself to keep reading a bit more. And again it improved after ch25 or so with the appearance of other two MLs and the FL being a bit less freaked out by dying after one mistake, letting her act more freely rather than being constantly on the receiving end. Even so, I found this one to be too "negative" for my taste, I don't particularly like angst, I can swallow it if it's the preamble to something else or if it's balanced by similar amounts of "victories", or in a well planned ending, but if angst and annoyance are pretty much all I'll get from the story (with some minor gain of putting a ML in his place ocacionaly) then like here, I'll have a hard time enjoying it. The thing is, it doesn't matter if Penelope is oblivious when it comes to romance, and can't identify when these capture targets are feeling things for her. They have so much power over her that everything they do is a threat. Her entire life is in their hands; she has to earn their affection to simply live, but that comes at great personal cost for her. She isn't happy. She isn't free. Every true emotion she has is stifled, because those are dangerous -- she lives for the men around her, because she has to. The only power she has is from men's power -- the only freedom she has is because they have given it to her. She despises getting rained on because her family would never share their umbrella with her whenever there was bad weather. [14] [27] Comically Small Demand: When Callisto offers Penelope anything she could possibly desire as a reward for helping him thwart an assassination attempt she only requests that he never kill her for any reason. He sees it as this and laments that he made such a terrible first impression on her. Penelope on the other hand is extremely relieved since in the Otome Game Hard Mode Callisto was the one that killed her character the most.Your Throne is less of a romance and isekai and more of a thrilling story of two women learning their strengths. It's a very different story, but in both stories the FL is a strong convincing lead. Both are misunderstood as the villain, but in Villains are Destined to Die it's hard to refer to her as a villain. Medea in Your Throne is a much more convincing villainess who takes the reins. I rate Your Throne an 8/10, and Villaines Are Destined to Die 7/10. (so far.)

It's very hard to find such a well thought out story in a genre that is drowning in cliches. This story could have very easily gone the typical spiteful vengful Villainess route and made everyone the bad guy for the sake of the main character. Instead they went the extra mile and tried to make all the characters as realistic as possible. There interactions are always interesting to watch and there's a sense of morbid fascination that comes with reading the story. Would Hurt a Child: Leyla cultists are more than willing to brainwash or kill children to further their goals.

After the Second Prince's banquet she followed Callisto to the rose garden because she wanted to test the reset button of the game.

Hereditary Curse: The bloodline of the Ancient Wizards were cursed to be negatively perceived by the Layla, resulting in them being Heroes with Bad Publicity. Penelope was no exception, which unfortunately made it easier for Ivonne-Layla to manipulate things to dispose of her in the original timeline. However, with the Layla completely sealed once more at the end of the story, the curse has been lifted. Friend to All Children: Vinter takes care of orphans that come from wizard lineage, he teaches them and protects their identity, as their kind is being unjustly persecuted. He also seems to help normal orphans in the slums, and that's how he meets Ivonne in the Normal Mode storyline, being charmed by her kindness and sweetness towards the children. Awful Truth: Later in the story we find out an important plot twist of the original game from the hidden ending: Ivonne got possessed by an ancient evil entity called the Layla capable of brainwashing people shortly after disappearing, and her ultimate goal is to destroy the world. And Penelope, the supposed villainess, was actually trying to stop Ivonne.
