Volume 2: (Chapters 58 - 117)
June 30, 2025
BEWARE of SPOILER
Cha Siyeon was brought home by her father to a household filled with cold, indifferent half-brothers. Despite her late mother having nothing to do with the death of their mother (at least according to the MTL), they still held her responsible. Even the household staff treated her like trash, viewing both Siyeon and her mom as homewreckers. College was her ticket out—finally free, she moved out and juggled three part-time jobs while studying. Somewhere in between, she still found time to play an otome game.
The game had two modes:
Normal mode followed the heroine, Yvonne.
Hard mode followed the villainess, Penelope.
In normal mode, Yvonne began with a 30% favorability rating from each of the five male leads:
Crown Prince Callisto
Marquis Vinter
Young Duke Derrick
Duke’s second son Reynold
Knight Eclise
In hard mode, as Penelope, the favorability was either zero or negative. And the plot? Straight out of the "villainess gets doomed" playbook:
Yvonne goes missing as a child
The Duke adopts Penelope because she resembles Yvonne
Derrick and Reynold resent Penelope for taking Yvonne’s place
On Penelope’s 18th birthday, Vinter returns with the real Yvonne
Eclise, a former slave purchased by the Duke, is appointed Yvonne’s escort
Yvonne meets Callisto → they fall in love
Penelope, as the villainess, is ultimately killed by Callisto
After dying countless times in hard mode, Cha Siyeon rage-quits the game… only to wake up inside it—as Penelope. Now, she must reach 100% favorability with one male lead and receive a love confession before the coming-of-age ceremony to return home.
The novel spans five volumes with:
231 main chapters
40 side stories
8 special chapters
The translation? Pretty much raw MTL—definitely a "hard mode" read in more ways than one. But it was popular enough to get a manhwa adaptation.
My thoughts:
I gave this 4 stars, but only because of the side stories. Why? Because it felt like the author suddenly realized, “Oops, I forgot to wrap things up properly.” So we get 40 more chapters to finally give Penelope her closure.
Then—surprise!—the author again realizes Cha Siyeon didn’t get hers. Cue another 8 special chapters to fix that.
It honestly felt like James Cameron waking up one morning and deciding, “You know what? Jack Dawson survived the Titanic. Let’s give him a new arc where he moves on because Rose already got her happy ending.” And then writing yet another side story where we watch Rose living her best life with her family, just so she can finally let go of the past.
So, was it a tragedy? Not really. The “tragedy” tag is basically false advertising at this point.

Ставлю 4/5, так как интересно действительно. Иногда для современной литературы это не так просто! Но ее абсолютное недоверие людям, хотя и понимаемо сюжетно, но все равно непонимаемо. Понимаете?

Героине, серьезно, пора заканчивать называть всех мерзавцами. Еще кажется, что она сделала ставку не на того, на кого следовало. Мне, в принципе, нравятся все герои, кроме рыцаря печального образа. Что-то в нем есть такое отталкивающее. Даже Каллисто более симпатичен. Интересно, что героиня проходила игру за Ивонну и сближалась со всеми героями, но вот в роли Пенелопы все стали ей отвратительны. Ну, кроме, разве что Винтера, но этого она просто списала со счетов.
Интересно, но бесят все эти бесконечные обзывательства. Ну и как можно добиться симпатии человека, если про себя все время называешь его мерзавцем?

Read on Tapas
I quite enjoy this novel.
The second volume has many developments with many love interests, focusing on Calisto and Eckles, although all love interests get their moment.
We get to see Penny and Calisto grow closer through the tournament arc, which I absolutely adore. The novel really shows us how differently she subconsciously approached Calisto. He’s the only love interest with which she notices the love meter second to everything else about him, and he’s the only one to really treat Penny as a person - despite his callousness and biting remarks. I am definitely team Callisto.
On the complete opposite end of the spectrum, the developments with Eckles only prove how much Penny doesn’t see him as a person outside of his role as a love interest. Throughout this volume, you get the sense that she is almost surprised he “exists” outside of the “cutscenes” with her. She pretty much only sees his love meter. I have never liked Eckles and never understood why Penny not only chose him but actively chooses to ignore every gut feeling she has about him, but I am also constantly confounded by her approach to him. Why are you treating a dangerous, hard-to-read slave with a definite grudge against your country like this… Though, I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised Penny is as hopeless when it comes to love as her love interests - the poor girl never received any.
I also absolutely loved the developments with the duke. Yes he was still an awful father up to now but I get the feeling his neglect was almost accidental because once he realizes the severity of things he actively reflects and sets to correct his mistakes… unlike Derrick, the asshole. Among Penny's brothers, he's definitely the stand-out one in the worst way possible. Reynold is a mixed bag still, but he almost feels like a dumb little brother. emphasis on the dumb...

I liked the majority of this novel, but there are enough strange things about the main character, Penelope, that have me questioning whether I want to keep going. This volume covers chapters 6 through 10 of the original webnovel. It follows Penelope as she attends a hunting event hosted by the Imperial Family and gets pulled into an assassination plot, which forces her to spend far more time with Crown Prince Callisto than she would ideally want.
Truthfully, Penelope is a scheming, petulant brat with a serious lack of self-awareness at times. It can be hard to root for her, especially when it comes to her manipulative treatment of her knight-slave, Eckles. I understand that she views this world primarily as a game and is constantly terrified of triggering a deadly game over. Still, for the purposes of the story, everyone she interacts with is presented as a real person, and she either forgets that or outright refuses to accept it.
On the positive side, much of this volume focuses on Penelope’s interactions with Callisto. They both fall squarely into tsundere archetypes, so their constant sarcastic back-and-forth can be genuinely fun to read. You can clearly see the groundwork being laid for an eventual enemies-to-lovers arc.
I always say that a main character does not have to be likable, they just have to be interesting enough to watch. Right now, despite some uncomfortable elements at the edges, Penelope and this world are interesting enough for me to continue into the next volume. That said, I would not be surprised if the story tips further into awkward or unsettling territory later on, at which point I might end up dropping it altogether.

《反派角色只有死亡結局》第二集起初讀得有些意興闌珊、斷斷續續，但也可能是我閱讀時間很破碎影響讀興，進入狩獵祭後開始覺得有趣起來，閱讀速度也明顯變快。二哥雷諾德在第一集最後有理解到佩妮洛普一部份的過去和苦衷，因此對女主角也稍微好了一點，只是雷諾德真的太嘴賤，彷彿得了講話不損人就會死的病一樣，沒有一句話不是酸言酸語，哪怕難得出於對佩妮洛普好意而採取的行動又過於浮誇，反而為女主角帶來新的災難，抵銷他想要善待義妹的行動，連帶也在第二集初期略微降低我對雷諾德的好感度。不過，後期有應對態度更惡劣、更不聽人講話的大哥德瑞克做對照，雷諾德那份率直溢於言表的微微傲嬌態度，倒是讓我把雷諾德的分數加回來。忍不住想我作為讀者是不是太好哄了？
看漫畫時，我個人初期對二哥雷諾德好感度更高，但閱讀小說第二集前期，雷諾德和德瑞克被我一起打包進畫叉的回收袋裡。漫畫能夠透過畫面雷諾德冷嘲熱諷下偶爾流露的愧疚、錯愕、掙扎，可以從那些細微變化客觀觀察到雷諾德對佩妮洛普開始懷抱著些許歉意，因此漫畫前期內心就漫漫展現出後悔的雷諾德，我會多給他一些包容心與容忍度。然而，小說主要描繪的是女主角望出去的世界，即使有留一些敘述鋪墊雷諾德內心變化的暗示，整體依舊是女主角略顯憤世嫉俗的視角佔上風，眼裡覷見雷諾德似有微變的神情，可入耳的仍是酸言酸語，連帶的就會影響我「搞什麼鬼？這傢伙不酸人就會死嗎？」的不悅上湧。
前半段對皇太子凱利司托的印象也不太好，我感覺凱利司托的冷嘲熱諷只比兩位哥哥輕微一些，其實也很有在鬥嘴中用權勢迫使對方不能反抗自己的意味，但凱利司托的態度相對哥哥們又柔軟些許，也懂得見好就收，多少會給予佩妮洛普發言的空間，不會再真的重重刺傷到女主角後，才驚覺這種表達方式已嚴重超過人際互動應有的底線，而是讓對話氛圍勉強遊走在調情與捉弄的氣氛。當然對階級較低的佩妮洛普而言，但凡皇太子留有一絲用權勢威壓的意圖，即使皇太子態度變得溫軟一些，恐怕終究也無法讓女主角真正放鬆下來和他相處。
凱利司托在狩獵祭救助女主角後，可能是共患難的經歷建立起羈絆，也可能是彼此救命恩人的陰德值累積，兩人終於有一點比較平等相處的氣氛，也有更深入觸及內心的交流，讓凱利司托那種夾槍帶棒說話方式的攻擊感大幅降低，從我的角度看過去，洞穴火堆談心變得更有調情和體己話的親近氣氛。那種歡喜冤家的鬥嘴氣氛相當可愛、甜蜜。女主角相處上變得比較放鬆、凱利司托看起來很沉浸在這種相依為命的朦朧曖昧氣氛。
話說回來，讀到約三分之二凱利司托明顯動情的時候，忽然覺得這部作品試著從各個男主角的視角去解讀他們和女主角互動時，因為佩妮洛普的一言一行而暗自動搖的心理活動，說不定更能體會到閱讀少女小說的醍醐味。畢竟對女主角而言，穿越進一不小心就會摔進鬼門關的遊戲世界，屢次險些遭遇死劫，比起享受戀愛，她的心情肯定更接近在恐怖遊戲裡實地歷險吧。哪有那種閒情逸致對攻略角色動心呢？而且攻略角色個個都是出類拔萃的不定時炸彈。
護衛騎士伊克里斯目前好感度雖然最高，但我反而覺得他是最不可能上位的攻略男主角，或許是我的刻板印象，我相信在乙女遊戲裡不同的選擇路線會有截然不同的可能性，但我覺得單一走向的少女小說還是很講究所謂的爽感，不是女主角只擁有愛情就能令讀者滿足，還要掌握一定的財富和權勢，在男尊女卑、階級制度嚴明的社會裡，若要享有這兩點，最可能的道路仍是女主角選擇怎麼樣的對象為配偶。在這一點上，身為戰敗國奴隸的伊克里斯在我眼中是最不可能成功擄獲女主角芳心的角色。（而且也很難想像他要怎麼樣在一、兩個月內就能把劍術提升到劍術大師程度，進而地位平步青雲、廣受認可）
個人判斷乙女向故事的作品哪個男主角比較可能勝出，除了階級地位的有無，還有一點是男主角本身的意識，以及跟女主角的交流是否有激盪出對方發自肺腑的回應，雙方是否持續著有來有往、互相回饋的關係。伊克里斯一直是單方面向女主角撒嬌，表現出卑微到塵埃裡的模樣來博取女主角的注視與關懷，而女主角是單方面的餽贈禮物來換取好感度的提升。伊克里斯一來沒錢沒地位，二來他從未跟女主角談心交流，乍看好感度最高、關係逐漸親近，實際上仍是停留在隔著玻璃幃幕凝視著表面上的彼此，他不瞭解她的恐懼根源，她也看不清他的想法，兩顆心從未真正拉近距離。
魔法師文特在第二集也是彬彬有禮的侯爵公子，到目前為止算是少數能溫和溝通的對象，雖然知道他隱藏很多秘密，不過心懷警戒的雙方慢慢接觸彼此，在互動中瞭解，在瞭解中逐漸卸下心防、真正地在乎對方，這種感情發展也很有魅力。我覺得文特在幾次互動中，其實已稍微拿到解鎖女主角心扉的鑰匙，但可惜兩人還沒能更多時間相處，培養出細水長流的信賴度之前，就被皇太子凱利司托捷足先登了。我其實滿想看看女主角在狩獵祭遇到危難時，先登場支援女主角的若是文特，會怎麼發展這個遊戲章節。兩人至今的幾次接觸都還停留在互相試探的階段，我也很想看看這兩人深入彼此內心的情節。
德瑞克在狩獵祭的表現真是徹底扣分，這種剛愎自用的人讓他成為下一任公爵，真的沒有問題嗎？雷諾德的冷嘲熱諷也很讓人惱火，但也沒惡劣到不給佩妮洛普說話辯解的機會（以前可能有，但在閣樓對談後似乎有漸漸改善這個壞習慣），佩妮洛普那種什麼話都還沒說，德瑞克就將一項又一項的罪名扣到她身上的感覺真讓人鬱卒。女主角簡直啞巴吃黃連，無處喊冤。我後來對雷諾德評價高於德瑞克，感覺他對佩妮洛普的感情比較純粹，雖然有過怨懟和心結，但釐清心緒後就是完全用哥哥心態對待她，沒有其餘雜質；德瑞克明顯摻雜許多不明所以的情感，而他又無力處理這些感情，只會找藉口不停遷怒到佩妮洛普身上，要她承受他狂風暴雨般肆虐的感情，感覺德瑞克在感情上既沒有勇氣又沒有擔當的人。
公爵父親在這一集大加分，願意相信與偏袒佩妮洛普，我甚至覺得如果父女親情修復如故，女主角其實也沒必要非得攀附個個有瘋狂之處的攻略角色，待在家裡在父親庇護下生活，說不定更自在。但公爵目前也卡在不久後親生女兒就會回來，那麼養女的地位有可能受到威脅的隱憂。因此佩妮洛普也無法全然信任公爵吧。何況女主角仍然分得很清楚，這些本該屬於「佩妮洛普」應得的親情，她並非本人受之有愧，心底忍不住為佩妮洛普難過她未能親身體會到父愛與手足之情。不過，寫到這部份反而有點好奇屆時親生女兒登場時，公爵會怎麼處理親生女兒和養女關係之間的情理分際？
＊附記與其他：
１．遊戲系統對女主角滿好的嘛。雖然強行安排了二十個刺客的艱困情節，但也沒讓毫無武術基礎的她單打獨鬥，直接操控她的身體度過這一章。啊。不過，那種身體不受自己控制的感覺應該還是很令人不適的吧。尤其女主角是那麼渴望命運操之在己的人，對這種安排恐怕只會加倍感到不快與束縛吧。
２．凱利司托的信件有特地改成其他字跡，這一點給予好評。不過字體歪歪斜斜，感覺不太好看。

德瑞克在狩獵祭的表現真是徹底扣分，這種剛愎自用的人讓他成為下一任公爵，真的沒有問題嗎？雷諾德的冷嘲熱諷也很讓人惱火，但也沒惡劣到不給佩妮洛普說話辯解的機會（以前可能有，但在閣樓對談後似乎有漸漸改善這個壞習慣），佩妮洛普那種什麼話都還沒說，德瑞克就將一項又一項的罪名扣到她身上的感覺真讓人鬱卒。女主角簡直啞巴吃黃連，無處喊冤。我後來對雷諾德評價高於德瑞克，感覺他對佩妮洛普的感情比較純粹，雖然有過怨懟和心結，但釐清心緒後就是完全用哥哥心態對待她，沒有其餘雜質；德瑞克明顯摻雜許多不明所以的情感，而他又無力處理這些感情，只會找藉口不停遷怒到佩妮洛普身上，要她承受他狂風暴雨般肆虐的感情，感覺德瑞克在感情上既沒有勇氣又沒有擔當的人。
公爵父親在這一集大加分，願意相信與偏袒佩妮洛普，我甚至覺得如果父女親情修復如故，女主角其實也沒必要非得攀附個個有瘋狂之處的攻略角色，待在家裡在父親庇護下生活，說不定更自在。但公爵目前也卡在不久後親生女兒就會回來，那麼養女的地位有可能受到威脅的隱憂。因此佩妮洛普也無法全然信任公爵吧。何況女主角仍然分得很清楚，這些本該屬於「佩妮洛普」應得的親情，她並非本人受之有愧，心底忍不住為佩妮洛普難過她未能親身體會到父愛與手足之情。不過，寫到這部份反而有點好奇屆時親生女兒登場時，公爵會怎麼處理親生女兒和養女關係之間的情理分際？
＊附記與其他：
１．遊戲系統對女主角滿好的嘛。雖然強行安排了二十個刺客的艱困情節，但也沒讓毫無武術基礎的她單打獨鬥，直接操控她的身體度過這一章。啊。不過，那種身體不受自己控制的感覺應該還是很令人不適的吧。尤其女主角是那麼渴望命運操之在己的人，對這種安排恐怕只會加倍感到不快與束縛吧。
２．凱利司托的信件有特地改成其他字跡，這一點給予好評。不過字體歪歪斜斜，感覺不太好看。

Novel: 58-117
Manwha: 39-107. Vol 3 and the start of Vol 6.
This was a rollercoaster of a ride, with numerous emotions and events to deal with. The characters are not what you originally thought; they make selfish and empty choices, where at a point you start to doubt them. But they're not the typical grey characters you might encounter in nowadays book tropes, they are actually morally grey characters.
Their choices and intentions are based solidly on surviving, no matter the cost, even if those aren't the right choices to make.
One of my favorite volumes of the manwha, due to the character's interactions, and girl, for gods' sake, get out of that damn room. I get it, you wanna avoid everyone, but you're at a duchy, there's plenty of space over there, I WANNA SEE SOMETHING ELSE, NOT JUST YOUR ROOM. Stop complaining.
I like the story and the characters, and I'm definitely going to continue binge-reading the story the same way I've done it so far.

(Confío en ti chica que puso los capitulos)
Callisto es muy lindo, y es bien gracioso el maldito, mi tipo.
Es bonito como va mejorando su relación con su familia, aunque Derrick siga siendo medio(mucho) imbecil, la esta ayudando si, a su manera, pero no quita que sea tarado la mayor parte.
YA SE ACERCA LA FIESTA DE MAYORIDAD DE EDAD AHHHHH
Tengo sentimientos encontrados por lo que pasará, duele ver como ese día ella lo ve practicamente como su sentencia de muerte(y razones tiene) pero desde ya siempre apoyaré a Penny, ella manipula, miente o hace algo más la entiendo, todo lo que hace es tratar de no morir.

(3.5 stars)
Our protagonist Cha Siyeon continues to try to survive this violent and confusing game world in volume two. The premise and broad strokes of the novel remain interesting. It uses typical cliches to set and break audience expectations. For example, Callisto's a tsundere tyrant archetype and Winter is a compassionate soft boy but that doesn't mean they don't have good reasons for that or that one will be good and the other evil. Personality, moral choices, and conditioned behaviors intertwine with a lot of environmental factors outside of each person's control.

เล่ม 2 แล้วเนื้อเรื่องเข้มข้นขึ้นมากๆ มีฉากได้อยู่กับคนที่เชียร์ (คัลลิสโต) เยอะมากกกก ได้ทำคะแนนบ้างแล้ว อ่านเพลินอยู่เลย ไม่มีตรงไหนให้รู้สึกเบื่อจริงๆ
เล่มนี้ตาเดอร์ริคก็ยังน่าหงุดหงิดเหมือนเดิม ไม่มีพัฒนาการเพิ่มขึ้นเลย แต่เรย์โนลด์กับท่านดยุกคือพัฒนาขึ้นมากกกก น่ารักกับเพเนขึ้นเยอะเลยย
ส่วนค่าความชอบบาวคนก็พุ่งเร็วจนคิดว่านี่เพิ่งเล่มสองเองนะ ทำไมพุ่งเร็วขนาดนี้ แสดงว่าหลังจากนี้ต้องเข้มข้นมากแน่ๆ
ไม่รู้จะรีวิวตรงไหน แต่บอกได้คำเดียวว่าสนุกจริงๆ อยากให้ทุกคนได้ลองอ่าน

¿Amamos a Eclipse y a Callisto? Si, definitivamente los amamos.
La segunda entrega de la novela está llena de "tea", los chismes y engaños del mundo aristocrático, la reputación de la familia de Penélope, la relación con su padre, hermanos y los demás intereses de conquista pero sobre todo la interacción final con Eclipse fue uffff!
Jajaja hace tiempo no fangirleaba tanto con una historia.

Ну, кстати, второй том мне зашёл куда больше. Возможно, дело, конечно, в том, что Каллисто тут достаточно часто мелькает, но не суть. Героиня местами глуповата, хотя по манхве мне в эти моменты она казалась немного другой. Но было весело и даже захотелось сразу взяться за третий том.

เล่ม 2 ก็ยังสนุกหยุดไม่อยู่แล้วเรา เหตุการณ์ในเรื่องคือช่วงเทศกาลล่าสัตว์ เป็นอีเว้นท์ที่ทำให้ได้คะแนนความชอบจากตัวเอกมากมายเหลือเกิน แต่ก็ต้องแลกกับอะไรอีกหลายอย่าง นางเอกแทบตาย
ปล. สงสารน้องอิคลิส แง..เป็นพระเอกที่น่าเอ็นดู
ปล.2 หมั่นไส้เจ้าหัวดำว่ะ

Veoma je teško osuditi ovaj lagani roman nakon pročitanog stripa jer strip je stvarno odličan. Samo zbog toga jedna zvezdica manje, jer mislim da nemam pola ovih scena u glavi zbog stripa, ne znam da li bih ovoliko uživala. Priča je tako zarazna!

I wish I could read Korean, the machine translation could have used some looking over. Nothing like the training fields being called "State of the Union" (facepalm).

Estoy de verdad sin palabras, me ha encantado y aunque llore en algunos momentos, también reí y me gustó el cambio de varios de los "objetivos", bueno excepto uno 😒 Derrick puedes irte al diablo.
