smolkiechu's manga / #Female Protagonist(1)

pink haired ladies are hot, so Ill read this just for that. But istg if this becomes one of those cringey reverse harems I WILL SCREAM. (124) -- ALRIGHT, THIS HERE LADIES AND GENTS IS THE BEST MANHWA I HAVE EVER READ, not only is the female lead good BUT EVERYONE ACTUALLY ACTS LIKE HUMAN BEINGS despite being a virtual game (pretty ironic). Penelope is so good at making choices and handling situations, it's very uplifting to see her make the right choices, do shit right and be the bad bitch she is. More on that when the manhwa finally ends. Onto the main 5 love interests. Derrick - He was really growing on me. He was kind of like those stoic black haired boys that would look cool on the outside but are really caring and huge softies on the inside, but Derrick leans onto the more colder side. As Penelope kept talking to him, I only considered him a brother for her and nothing more because he just lacks something and he'd probably be better off meeting Yvonne. BUT DAMN did the trial for Penelope switch up my view on him. He's so irritating because I know he has his reasons but damn is he heartless. Being a noble means having a reputation to uphold and all he cared about was exactly that. Its was really disheartening to see him become someone Penelope can't trust anymore. *might change later* Reynolds - He was a piss off at the beginning, and I cackled when Penelope put him in his place for being the bitch that he is. Literally didnt need to fault her for Yvonne getting missing, he always tried making smart remarks that were utterly annoying to listen to. I WOULD HAVE DROPKICKED HIS ASS IF HE SPEWED INSULTS AT ME LIKE THAT. But anyways, he grew on me after he started becoming a decent human being and treated Penelope as a person. He started being considerate and looked at things clearer. And the hitting point was when he confronted Penelope of not being the same as his brother and that he would have believed her no matter what which brought a smile to my face. He's bratty at times but he's ok for now. *might change later* Callisto - He irritated me alot at the beginning just like Reynolds did because he was like one of those snobny rich kids that would be all cocky and shit cuz like he has it all dude. The money, fame, and looks, a pretty fucking big package. But as the events went on and the assasination happened with Penelope, we all started seeing him in a new light and uncovering a small portion of his past was a game changer (pun intended). On the outside he's a tyrant who will soon become emperor, but on the inside he's just a slightly cocky asshole with a pint of kindess and charm on top. Which is why I kinda think he's the endgame, but who knows. *might change later* Winter - Honestly, I didnt know what to feel about him. He lacks something too and it seems like he's just there to be an option for Penelope if something goes wrong. But nonetheless, I like him alot as a character, he cares about the children he hides and is very kind to Penelope, he could be a best friend to Penelope of sorts because he's always there when she's down or needs help and thats king shit right there. Im just hoping he wont secretly be evil or sum. *might change later* Eckles - Before I start, I just wanted to say he reminds me of a wolf. Because of the hairstyle, his gaze, and the way he behaves. He was a slave at an auction and I pity him slightly because he would have been sent to another person for torture if he wasnt a love interest. He's silent but agile/smart. He tends to just work because thats what Penelope wants but hes also very obedient. Its kinda weird but perhaps hes gone through more shit that we havent seen yet. He sometimes appears in the manhwa and he seems like the only one with his favorability the highest which is pretty understandable. I kind of thought he would be endgame because Penelope said so but he's on the 2nd place for now. *might change later* -- but aside from that, I hope we see more of Reynolds and Eckles because boy are they being overshadowed sometimes. And I hope they all get their shits together more cause good lord are they chaotic. Derrick mostly. But thats all for now and I hope to see more on this manhwa because I LOVE IT and you just fucking love it too. #stanpenelope P.S: I hope when Yvonne comes she wont be too pretty and polite like other main heroines because its kinda exhausting to see nowadays. Maybe a change of characters can suffice. —- OMG HE CALLED HER PRETTY FJCBJDBDJDND THEY ARE SO FUCKING GOOD TOGETHER PLS PLS PLS.
