Villains Are Destined to Die, Vol. 4 (Villains Are Destined to Die)

by Gwon Gyeoeul

“When I’m with you, there’s truly never a dull moment.”The Hunt is on! Penelope heads off to the small-game area in hopes of finding a present for Eckles…only to run into a hostile bear! Armed with desperation and a crossbow, Penelope holds it off, until Callisto unexpe ctedly comes to her rescue. Despite his heroism, Penelope wants nothing but to get away from the seemingly obsessed, definitely dangerous crown prince. Fate has other plans, though—someone has sent assassins after Callisto, and Penelope is now caught in the cross fire, tasked by the game system to protect him. Still, this might just be a chance to raise his affection… if they can make it out with their lives, that is!

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.
