I'm so damn invested in this story. There's like no way I can handle this cliffhanger, so I fear I鈥檒l definitely end up continuing with the novel鈥攑robably tomorrow because I just need to know what happened.
I went from "I'm living my best life reading this!!" to "I'm going to cry myself to sleep tonight鈥�"
What an emotional rollercoaster this volume was!
Those Callisto moments were EVERYTHING!! There is so much I want to say because of how good it was, but that would be a major spoiler. Just know though! If you ship Penelope and Callisto, then you are in for a treat! Seeing Callisto genuinely smile and seem so happy around Penelope made my heart so happy, but then Callisto said something, which led to Penelope feeling something, and then slowly but gradually I felt my heart starting to break.
But then Eckles basically made us fall off an emotional cliff because his actions were completely devastating. I have no words because even though we got to see things from his POV for the briefest of moments, I never imagined he would turn on Penelope in the way he did. I'm definitely angry though! I thought I would feel the same knife-cutting betrayal the same way I did with Winter, but no. Maybe because some of his REAL self came out or because this was the worst way to hurt Penelope and I couldn't seem to get over it.
Truly, there were some VERY good moments that I had been hoping for, but that last chapter was so tragic for Penelope that it's like any happiness I felt vanished. Even when I was flipping through the volume again, I went from feeling really happy to wanting to cry on Penelope's behalf. There are pages of her I never want to see of my faves, yet here we are. I hate the foreshadowing that seemed HEAVILY implied because my girl deserves nothing but happiness.
Definitely an amazing volume, but it has so much pain for Penelope. I really hope there is something more hopeful for her in the next volume because I need her to smile once again. *sobs*

Si alguien alguna vez me pregunta cu谩l es mi manhwa favorito le dir茅 que son muchos, pero si me encuentra en un momento que tengo ganas de hablar, le hablar茅 de ti 馃ス , le hablar茅 como Penelope es la mejor protagonista que hay, como Calisto es el pr铆ncipe perfecto; como mi coraz贸n salta de alegr铆a con cada cap铆tulo y como tambi茅n puedo pasar de un momento a otro a llorar a mares.
鉁↙es hablar茅 de ti, porque eres mi definici贸n de manhwa perfecto鉁�
Fucking shit, I'm on the edge rn, like whjdkskdbdkdks. Why are there no more chapters available online????馃槴 I need to know what's gonna happen next omggg. Diosssss.
There are so many ups and downs and misdirections in this volume that I feel like I have whiplash. They do resolve (sort of) the cliffhanger from the end of the last volume (6) but now they're even more questions. I don't really understand where the stories going anymore. I feel like I'm on the edge of my seat trying to just grasp at straws of clues. The sneak peek for the next volume also had me concerned, are we going to have some yandere happening? I sure hope that the next volume is the final volume, I'm feeling kind of exhausted by the tension of this series.
In case you're unfamiliar with a series itself, they tend to be nice length and full color. I have noticed an oddity though, sometimes they're printed back to front like manga and sometimes they're not printed that way and are printed the front to back like English printing. You never know what you're going to get but when you do read the pages you read them as if they were English printing. Even if backwards. This inconsistency makes it a little awkward on your rereading the series in one go, but there are some others I've read like this that randomly had backwards or forwards swapped around between volumes. I wonder if it's the same publisher? I'm any case, it's pretty frustrating to me as someone who likes to binge read whole series.
Screaming crying throwing up at this volume. Its not often I'm this sad and pissed reading a book. I just want Penelope and Callisto to be happy 馃挃 I think Callisto is now in my list of top favorite love interests, right beside Hua Cheng and Lan Zhan. He's sweet and unhinged and best of all, NOT a dumbass so there's no misunderstandings. Except for one thing but that was more intentional subterfuge on Penelope's part. Which I understood why she did but absolutely hated. I'm so glad he has her back despite the rough spot they're in. Honestly everyone but Derrick really is being supportive. I know he's being mind controlled but I kinda don't care. He's been a pain since page one. I'm on the edge of my seat for this story but I will patiently wait for the artist to come off of hiatus.
OH SHITTTTTTT!!! I love the moments with callesto but I really thought that his meter would also be in the 90s it鈥檚 sad that it鈥檚 not. Also I thought that eckles had a bit of common sense but nope that鈥檚 out the window he an obsessive lunatic who can toss people aside easily. But the ending was the best worst part ( best because it鈥檚 the worse thing to happen to her in the game) because he brought Ivenne back, I really can鈥檛 wait to see book 8 and its cover. (Sorry it鈥檚 hard to remember how to spell some of their names)

5猸愶笍 - Being a fan of this series is nothing but stress and pain even when you're kicking your feet because nice things are happening. You just know your happiness (aka Callisto's smile) will be ruined by something on the next page!!
This is my first book with content I had not already read online, and it was good! I love Penelope and Callisto, and Penelope was so heartbreaking at the end. I just want her to be loved!
This book made me like Callisto and Penelope even more if that's even possible. Both of them are still in denial I just adore how much Callisto trusts in her unlike certain other love interests. He always knew that she was lying when they met but that doesn't stop him from believing her. He knows that she wouldn't have looked so dumbfounded if she had known she had powerful magic. He has eyes and will come to his own conclusion. I love to compare his attitude compared to Winter and Reynold.听
We also got to see confused and worried Penelope. She has her plans but she can't help the way her heart feels around him. Callisto on other hand can't stop thinking about her. He's doing little things to her like sending her amazing dress and jewelry, so no wonder Penelope is growing fond of him.. He's clearly so into her but can't admit it to even to himself. I mean why else would he want to wear the cufflink she gave him as a birthday present in his ear like an earring?
I think after this book it's 100% clear that Penelope won't end up with Eckles. The relationship was weird enough but after what he did I don't see them getting over it. Also the fact that it was clear that Penelope doesn't show warmth to him unless she wants his percent to be up but she does to Callisto.听
I'm so over Reynold. Penelope just needs to breath and he's suspicious of her and he wonders why she doesn't like him and wants to run away from him? I need him to give her a hell of an apology for being the reason she was treated the way she was.
I love the friendship between Emily and Penelope and she better not choose the "real daughter" over her. Penelope and Emily started with the wrong foot but their relationship has grown so much from where it was in the first volume. Emily made Penelope's life comfortable and she was the fond of her. Penelope on other hand is the only person to ever appreciate Emily.听
I was liking Duke and Penelope's relationship, so this volume broke my heart. I think it was a lot more sad than what Eckles did. AFter all the effort Penelope did to change-- he clearly didn't trust her.听
All in all this volume had so much great moments. I didn't want to stop reading and I can't believe I need to wait MONTHS for the next volume.听
I鈥檓 reading this on Tapas and they just came back from Hiatus so not how far volume 7 will cover but I feel like I鈥檝e read to that by now 馃し鈥嶁檧锔�
She was frustrating for awhile now as I feel like she鈥檚 passed the point where she鈥檚 is still seeing everyone as game characters and ignoring her really emotions but after some deep breaths and reflection I can admit it鈥檚 not the heroine that frustrates me but that the author and the system that are forcing her to do so.
I think the chapters that just came out after the hiatus are doing a lot for moving the story forward so as a reader I鈥檓 not as frustrated but I did cry a lot in these newer chapters similar to the crying I do constantly when I watch the anime Re:Zero and Subaru gets stuck in time loops where he can鈥檛 tell anyone what he knows and every time he dies he鈥檚 usually betrayed by someone he cares about or has to be traumatized by watching people he loves die before he does and then when he revives and no one understands why he is so adamant about things he suffers from trauma and grief and all the big emotions and I just cry and cry鈥his is how I鈥檓 feeling for Penelope at this point. She tries to follow the system鈥檚 rules and she tries to suppress her own desires and feelings and yet things constantly get shaken up and she feels so helpless. So I cry and cry 馃槶
Also I just love our stubborn grumpy prince 馃槏 and the relationship with her dad and brothers evolving but also mirroring her past family relationships 馃槶
Penelope is so close to meeting her goal, but it seems like that may make it even more impossible. Good question if the color of the locks has any bearing on the outcome, though there doesn't look like there's a way to determine that either. She seems to hold onto the hope that if she escapes, she'll return to her previous life, but that seems unlikely. Despite all of the upheaval and the risks, it seems like she is still slowly managing to turn everyone's perceptions around and they do mostly care for her in various ways, even sometimes surprising both themselves and Penelope. It's a bit sad to see her so desperate and determined that she seems to be making herself sad, especially with the events with Callisto and Eckles, though both for very different reasons. Even with Ivonne showing up early and the possible sighting at the island, there are more questions than answers, but definitely more support than she seems to think.

OMG NO THIS VOLUME IS ON ANOTHER LEAGUE!!! We get different POVs, more Callisto and Eckles moments, and that preview for the next volume?!?! Every plot twist was a shock factor over and over again. I need more people to read this series because it鈥檚 honestly the best isekai manwha I have read compared to a few others. To wait until August for the next volume is going to kill me 馃槱
This volume and volume 4 are my all-time favorites of this series. But SUOL please have a volume with Callisto鈥檚 face on it. 馃槶 Out of everyone, we are missing a Callisto cover, and no I refused for volume 4 to count.
Other remarks: 鈾� Callisto I don鈥檛 care if your relationship with Penelope is rough right now. I still ship you two. 鈾� I don鈥檛 trust Ivonne. There is something iffy about her that makes my skin crawl. 鈾� I am so shocked at what Eckles did. But I knew my gut was right about him. Callisto is the only love interest I trust in this book at this rate.
current chp : 158 | 4猸愶笍 | To be honest the imperial Prince's unwavering devotion deserves particular attention, as he is the only character to remain hopelessly attached to Penelope (now that Ikles has begun his decline). His attachment, his loyalty to Penelope, as genuine as it is passionate, contrasts sharply with Penelope's attitude, who, armed with her knowledge of the game, systematically rejects her love interests and gradually withdraws into pure solitude (but I rly hope they鈥檒l end up together). Let鈥檚 hope that she will finally open her eyes before it's too late, before Yvonne, more devious than ever, takes advantage of the opportunity to plot behind the scenes. Yvonne proves she'll do anything to reclaim her title and her all-consuming ambition and potential to destabilise the established balance make her a true villain haha.
The tension and desperation swell up as Penelope鈥檚 birthday approaches, making every moment feel like a ticking time bomb. And then, Eckles arrives鈥攂ringing with him the real daughter, shattering any fragile sense of security Penelope had. Without even realizing it, she starts acting just like the real Penelope from the game, caught between survival instincts and fate鈥檚 cruel grip.
The stakes have never been higher, and the psychological depth of her struggle is just so intense. Every interaction, every decision feels weighted with consequence, pulling you deeper into her chaotic world.
And the art? Absolutely breathtaking. The details, the expressions, the sheer emotion in every panel鈥攊t elevates the storytelling to another level.
Taking time out from my TBR and ARCs to speed through a new release. Can't help it, this series is my guilty treasure for angst and boy does vol 7 bring it. No real action this volume, after an action-heavy #6, but plot hits the fan earlier than Penelope was expecting.
Expecting one final week of the 'game' before the true heroine returns, Penelope instead must contend with Yvonne (Ivonne? why have they spelt it with an I in the official English translation?) appearing early -- returned by one of her supposed allies. Every single relationship she has begins to implode as a result, leaving doubt as to whether Penelope can max out any of the game's love interests and escape this crazy world and her destined death.
Ok, este tomo es el verdadero TODO SE FUE A LA MIERDA. De repente no conf铆o en ninguno excepto en el pr铆ncipe que se volvi贸 hasta vulnerable(? Pero la protagonista est谩 en modo derrotista y eso me desespera. El final te deja de cama y el lector la verdad... no sabe qu茅 carajo sentir, especialmente con Yvonne de regreso poniendo todo patas arriba. Lo 煤nico que es seguro, es que Pen esta vez tiene aliados a pesar que no lo crea. Necesito m谩s trama y el manwha se actualiza muy lento, voy a tener que recurrir a la novela ligera porque no soporto la ansiedad que me provoca no saber con qui茅n se va a quedar Pen.
