do you really think she’s asking for shallow romantic love with everything going on… ? the lack of media literacy is alarming
from the start she’s been trying to gauge everyone’s favorability to higher average/full in order to live omg. 100% = love according to her. she’s literally asking for someone who cares about her as a person, who will save her from harm. that’s her idea of love- loyalty, compassion, and safety after being abused in not one world but TWO. what is this take
I think you may lack reading comprehension skills… Like, did you read the story at all?
Yes, and I want this to finish soon, I'm sick of this "dO yOu ReAlLy LoVe Me? CAn YoU sAy tHaT YoU LoVe Me" só fck annoying
Penelope is definitely annoying, she's treating love like a transaction and means to an end. That's not love bro, that's manipulation. But she has come to a realization and that's why she stopped checking the gauge because Eckles's love turns out to be a giant red flag. So now she's properly terrified, distrustful and dumped into a mess she made. This might be her lowest at the story, but I can definitely tell it's a great character growth arc
this entire webtoon she copes with how she was transmigrated as a villainess in a game that disservices her from the start. idg how you’re on a high horse with how she treated in-game characters because the entire game IS transactional… picking the right options/saying the right things = higher favorability and in her case survival? why are you more critical of her than the system/higher power who forced her to act this way
Did you fcking forget why she's been trying to raise the favorability and wanting for one of the male leads to tell her they love her? I usually hate MCs acting like that too, but in this case, she's literally doing all of this crap to fcking survive. Because she thinks she's in a fcking game.
She never said that tho? She just told him she can’t marry him cause she needs real love. Not her fault that’s the game setting. It’s literally the only way for her to survive. If u want this to finish either stop reading or wait till it’s finished and skip chapters u don’t like.
That’s because for her it kinda is means to an end? Like her whole life depends on it. I know it’s manipulative, but we knew she was going to be a morally grey character from the start. Why complain about it now?
I'm critical because the latest chapter has shown the flaws in her character with how she succumbs to the system and became a manipulator. She thought she can use the system window to outsmart the game and find the best compatibility, but now that it backfires, she's hitting a down low on top of a literal guillotine. And again I said that this is a great character development arc, from an annoying manipulator to a genuine romantic
you’re so close to getting it. genuinely. but some of the details are flying over your head. she wasn’t trying to outsmart the game by using the system window or finding the best male interest, she was doing this those things to survive? you’re thinking she’s competitive or acting outta free-will when she’s was fighting for their life + trying not to die every scene
calling her an annoying manipulator from the jump when she’s a victim to her circumstances is wild. you put so much emphasis on her coping mechanisms/forced decision making and completely overshadowed how she’s been a kind, romantic person from the start but had no choice to act this way
U put it perfectly. People really act like she’s doing this like she’s in some dating show looking for best romantic interest, and not literally fighting for her life in an incredibly hard and toxic environment
She's being so annoying for begging for love like a fool
