Summary:

You know how the story goes: a young woman in a horrible situation wakes up one day to find herself in a new world—complete with a new face! Usually, this second chance at life is a dream come true.

Not for Penelope. She’s the unwanted Daughter of a Duke, and having just finished playing this game (The Duke’s Super Love Project), she knows just how lethal her future can get. Somehow, she’ll have to find a way to escape this horrible situation. At least she has some insight on what events to avoid.

Review:

Ahhhh! Where has this series been all of my life? But seriously, I’m loving Villains Are Destined to Die. It’s a darker isekai, but I think it works well. I’m always on the edge of my seat, uncertain about what the world will throw at Penelope next.

Villains Are Destined to Die Vol. 4 throws us back into the mix – and the uncertainty. Every time Penelope progresses with one character’s percentage, something has to happen to put her back in danger.

It’s that recipe that I think works really well. This volume is all centered around the hunting expedition, which means we’re getting two things in large quantities: politics and danger. In short, I freaking loved it.

I loved it so much that the wait for the next volume will physically hurt. Unfortunately, there’s a bit of a waitlist at my library (nice to see the appreciation for it, at least), so wait, I must.

Highlights:

  • Manwha
  • Dark Isekai
  • Dating Sim Game Foundation
  • Originally a webcomic (Tapas)
