Book Review: Villains Are Destined to Die vol. 1 by SUOL

Villains Are Destined to Die, Vol. 1 by SUOL
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

My name is Brittany and I’m in love with Callisto and I wanna punch Derrick in the face.

So I have been avoiding this manhwa for a very long time for some reason, and now that I read it last night, I have to say that I really enjoyed this. Penelope Eckheart is the villainess in a mobile game, and every time you would play as her, you would die, multiple times. Now that the girl is in Penelope's body, she starts to act and play just like Penelope, only a whole lot different and a heck of a lot smarter.

For one, she called Duke Eckhart father, which unlocked her to speak freely and to finally use her own actions to tell the story of how she wanted to tell Penelope's story, then she had to deal wit
h her brothers, Reynold and Derrick-who I really hate TBH (Derrick, not Reynold, Reynold's a good petunia) and then we went to the Second Prince's Birthday party...

And, um...like most villainous men I fall for, I met and fell for Callisto Regulus who can fold me any kind of way and I'd thank him for it. Penelope remembers him killing her multiple times when she always play his route, so she tries to get him to kill her again so she can have the reset button...only to hold a sword against her neck and told her to find another way to tell him that she loves him.

....my brother in tyrant christ, I can think of FIFTY ways to tell you that I love you.

Dragging an assasin in the ballroom and scaring the crap out of everyone? Yes. Dang near breaking the assasin's ribs with just the hilt of your sword? Yep, uh-huh, that's why I love you, yep, break it a little more, I like his screams to be played on my spotify. Your red eyes that could be very close to crimson? Yesss.

But at the end, even when Penelope meets Vinter in the end of the garden (looking like Xavier Shen from LADS, I might add)she decides to go after the only love interest in the whole game that might actually love her--a slave knight named Eclise.

I cannot wait to get my hands on book two because it was so much fun. The artwork in this is is very well drawn and very well written, and I cannot wait to read on, to see how Penelope finds Eclise and deal with all the other problems in her life right now. Also make sure that Derrick gets punched in the throat. Dearly.
