i picked up where i left at the novel and i must say, the pay off is really SO DAMN GOOD
i'm not sure how much i could spoil as i haven't really finished the novel lol
!!!SPOILER AHEAD!!!
<spoiler> in her coming of age ceremony she's gonna do something pretty major that will make the crown prince finally realize his feelings for her, then leads to the "real" daughter being framed. Penelope's pretty much given up at succeeding the game cus she's gonna fail hard mode anyway.
she's gonna go on a journey to find the game's real intent of bringing her into the game. She discovers something abt her real life self and technically why she got isekaid..
the prince followed her btw and they reconcile
then the battle at the duchy begins...</spoiler>
i suck at storytelling, but that's pretty much the major events.
oooh i'm so deep into this storyline, i can't wait until everyone's eventually miserable
