Description

The game, “Daughter of the Duke, Love Project, ” is a breeze to clear as the heroine, but when playing on hard mode as the hated villainess, Penelope Eckhart, one wrong move could lead to death. To make matters worse, there’s no reset button in sight. Penelope must gain the affection of one of the male leads to clear the game, all in a single playthrough. All five male leads are hard to charm for various reasons, and Penelope is on a time crunch as the game will get exponentially harder to clear once the heroine makes her appearance. Will Penelope be able to safely reach a happy ending? And what will be her reward for clearing the game? 102q1e

The MC actually states facts and acts and feels like a real person

by hoBRO

Rating: 10.0 / 10.0

She's not super goody two shoes, but not overly evil or dumb as well.

I like it. I can feel her struggles and can connect to it more than most other characters in other manhwas/comics I read.

This manhwa will pull at your heartstrings (latest chapter: 48)

by Lourie

Family stories always hurt the most, don't they?

As a child, your family is your entire world, the people who are supposed to take your hand and introduce you to the ways of the real world. I can't imagine what it's like to lose them at such a young age, young enough that you do not yet know how to cope with grief properly, and how terribly cruel other people could be to little children.

The main character and Penelope Eckart have (more or less) gone through the same terrible situations in their lives. They'd lost their parents at a young age, then someone came and offered them a new home, a new family. What orphan wouldn't accept that offer right on the spot? In the end, all they ever really got was food on the table and a roof over their heads. No home, no family. Their "families" treated them like trash and felt entirely justified in doing so. It hurts to know that the main character thinks she would've been better off living in an orphanage or on the streets, because at least then there would be no illusion of "family".

Anyway. Now that she's been thrust into the world of a reverse harem dating game, she's forced to try her damnedest to gain their affections—yes, including the despicable people mentioned above—otherwise they'll kill her. Because that's what sane people do.

Her previous life plays an important part in this story. The pain and rejection she'd had to endure during that time do not magically go away just because she's now living a new life, in a new body. She carries all that pain with her, still.

Now, obviously, this manhwa has its fair share of cliché moments, and the plot is too predictable sometimes. But those don't really matter. At this point, I just want the MC to find a family and be happy with them. Or just run off into the sunset to live alone and be a queen somewhere idk.

I truly, truly wish this manhwa won't just be another cheap harem story where character development is thrown into the bin for the sake of romance or other similarly ridiculous things. Fingers crossed this won't disappoint!🤞

This is excruciating painful in the best possible way

There is a handful amazing otomeisekais, and this one sits is right at the top. It's dramatic, thrilling and absolutely gorgeous. I spoiled myself and briefly read the uh fate of my favorite ML, who wasn't chosen, but the story is so well done I will continue reading the manhwa because the journey to how it happens looks far more interesting than just the "this boy and the girl gets together" fact. Plus I want to see more of my favorite ML. They better make a visual novel out of this. I wanna see happy endings for all MLs.

Glamorous Game Mechanics

by AstralRabbit
4 years ago

Rating: 8.0 / 10.0

Few stories in this sub-genre match the sultry, whimsical flare that details this story. Colour and light isn’t just a tool, but a weapon, searing this gamified romance into your eyeballs. Drama is an ever present reality, with little comic relief, which fits well with the bejazzled beauty of the main characters, too serious and aristocratic for mere games! But its’ fun, and thankfully, also self-aware thanks to the down to earth main character. Of course, I’m not sure if her constantly expressing how confused she is about the way the favourability system works makes it any less of an incomprehensible concept. After all, if the range of favourability stretches from -100 to 100, then 0 should be neutral setting, which certainly doesn’t coincide with the aggressive/resentful/disdainful dispositions of her brothers. Of course, “they’ve always slightly liked her, but they just don’t show it on the outside!” would make vague sense if we hadn’t just seen one of the brothers explode on the MC at the end of the season at 10% (?) favourability. But I digress, as the game concepts are simply minor plot devices to add drama. The primary engines here are the art, characters and plot. There are always enough gears turning to be interesting at this point. But, the real challenge is only just beginning for “The Villain’s Ending…”. Will it have enough tricks up it’s sleeve? I shall wait and see.

One of the series with the isekai-villainess genre that I like

by NelayanMancing

Rating: N/A

The story of this series is really good, well packed with female lead characters that are developed fantastically. For the isekai series, I think it's very interesting and worth reading. I'm really looking forward to the continuation of this story and hoping that it will become even more interesting

Now this is how you do an isekai genre! I love how strong willed she is. It also doesn't hurt that the art is also stunning. It's witty, it's emotional, and it's suspenseful! Sadly, it's on hiatus right now but I can't wait to see how the rest of the story unfold!

Is there anyone who experience the same thing as me?

Is there anyone who experience the same thing as me?

So actually i have read this manhwa (the comic and not the novel) i think till chapter 60++ in july-august 2020 where the hunting competition is already taken place. But suddenly i cannot find it anywhere.. and i just found that right now at this time and moment, the original manhwa in korea just reach about 43-45 chapters. I feel like I'm travelling to the future only to read this manhwa 😅. Or is this manhwa a challenge manhwa before it release as official manhwa??

I'm not daydreaming cause i still can the exact story and picture.

well for spoiler, I am looking forward to the crown prince route bcs after hunting competition, Penelope will be trapped with crown prince in a cave because of the attempted murder . Only two of them. Later the crown prince will develop more feeling toward Penelope until it reach 60%. Faster and safest among all routes, regardless of what Penelope think at the first ecounter with Crown Prince and think that the route is not safe at all and will be avoided. Gogogo Penelope and Crown Prince.. as he was the sweetest among the male (beside ecclise)

So far so good. It's thrilling.

by mallika23

Rating: 9.0 / 10.0

To be honest, I pity the main character. Her life in real life and her life as Penellope were very similar that she distrust and closed herself from all the people in the estate, including her family, even saying she hate them in her dream. Of course we can see how her brothers and father are opening and warming up to her, but it's still not enough.

It's really thrilling. She might die anytime. We know she would eventuallly opened her heart to her family, but personally at the same time I wonder if Penellope will ever forgive her past and all.

So far so good, and it's worth to read. I wish for more development between the family member.

A survival thriller otome game isekai!

by moonmystery

Rating: 10.0 / 10.0

This series has a lot going for it even though it's only 29 chapters in atm.

We get to know the MC before she transports into the game world. A lot of manwha don't give us enough time to know the MC's original life, leading to a disconnect. But here, I feel more for the MC because of how she was portrayed in her regular life. Moreover, we actually see MC playing the game she will eventually be transported into, and futilely having to restart due to bad endings. Then BAM she's actually become the game character!!
In-Game mechanisms: This series actually incorporates elements of the otome game (e.g. you can only say 1 of 3 given choices in scenarios at times). There are hidden quest pop-ups and all that jazz. This makes the series more exciting to read.
We are told that death is at every corner for this villainess, and since she is constantly stressed about getting killed by the hot dudes, winning them over becomes that much more crucial. The setting of this series is just well done.
Complex character creation: all the characters in this series feel mysterious, and you get the sense that there's always more than meets the eyes. It's this sort of atmosphere that makes readers want to keep binging. Kudos to the author for establishing this.
GORGEOUS art. I love the fashion, the hair colors, the brilliantly drawn facial expressions. Just so so pretty.

Can't wait to read more as the series updates.
