"Villians Are Destined to Die" or "Death is the only ending for the villainess" is a very well-written Otome isekai manhwa. Based on the novel, it's very accurate and sticks to the original story magnificently.
STORY | 10 | The plot in this is pretty great. Easy to follow, with plenty of cliche moments that don't really bother me as a reader. Compared to other manhwa I've read, it's unique. It's very painful and heartwrenching, with many moments that push me to keep reading. Overall, my favorite thing about this plot though is the game aspect. It's interesting as hell watching Penelope's decisions, and the turns

One of the best villainess manhwas out there! Penelope is one of those smart protagonists thats actually somewhat evil like a true villainess.
The whole favorability adds so much more to the story! It makes it so exciting because we get to see what each character like or dislike to increase or decrease their favorability. This way, we know the characters tastes and their personalities better. The story is pretty true to the novel and the manhwa does a good job executing scenes. The art is beautiful and every character is just so good-looking. Her development with each character is so natural especially her interactions ...

I can‘t put into words how much of a masterpiece this story is! You would think that the story would become a bit boring as it progresses as it‘s sadly often the case with other historical manhwas like this one BUT after reading this manhua for years I‘m shocked by it‘s perfection. A unique story with a independent and admirable villainess as the main character is what to expect while reading this manhwa.
I LOVE the art. I LOVE the characters and their complexity. I LOVE the story. I LOVE the main character. There are many mahwas in the same category as „Villains are destined to die“ but ...

I now understood why this manhwa was soo highly rated..
Villain Are Destined To Die is your daily isekai manhwa where the mc is thrown into a game. MC is isekaid into the hard mode of an Otome game as of the main villain of the Normal mode but MC of Hard mode, even though she had completed the game in Normal mode, she soon discovered that everything is not as simple as it seems in normal mood. First and foremost the story, plot writing nothing seems exceptional in the first half as the 1st half are more focus on the characters relations, personality, past etc. ...

Nothing short of a 10.
For all I enjoy the reincarnated Villainess genre, it has to be said that most of the times the protagonists aren't really villains, nor does the author take much advantage of the setting other than to romanticize courtly love. This is not the case here, and it's leveraged to great drama. Penelope Eckhart has to suffer through the worst of nobility: The need to keep up appearances, the obsession with bloodlines and the mistreatment of those inferior, like, for example, a fake illegitimate child brought in to cover up the disappearance of the real one. As a result, even though the ...

Villains Are Destined to Die is a Manhwa that I really enjoyed. Despite it's Similarities to Otome Game no Hametsu Flag it's really unique and Lovely. To be honest I prefer this Manhwa over HameFura.
[Story] [9/10] The story is really interesting and unique. Its about a girl who is transported to the Fantasy world of a game she played. She is now in the body of the villainess who is facing a lot of Hardships and is fighting to survive in the ruthless world Even though people might think its the same as HameFura this Manhwa is a bit more complicated and serious than HameFura. [Art] ...

Plot summary: An isekai story about a young girl transported into the body of video game villainess Penelope Eckart. Knowing the game mechanics, but not knowing the ending, Penelope must play the Otome game with the punishment of losing being death.
Overall score: 10/10. This score admittedly has quite a bit of personal bias, but this isekai has the perfect 'isekai package' to it for me, especially compared to other isekai stories out there. With the world acting as a video game and each main male lead having a percentage counter above his head to show their affection toward Penelope, it ends up a great example ...

Villains Are Destined to Die has a quite deep story. If you read the webnovel of the series you know there will be so many things. For now, manhwa is still at the beginning, nothing really happened at the story. Game is more complicated than you think and it's going to an unexpected way. Actually It's hard to wait for chapters now but i don't regret. It's something makes my day :D
After I finished webnovel, I tried to read some of series like this one but i couldn't. It's definitely much more than a isekai, harem story. Penelope isn't like characters who just trying to ...

Villains are destined to die is probably my favourite Villainess reincarnation story. It doesn't fall into the trappings of so many other stories within this cliche and is truly able to stand out in this saturated market.
Story. The story is really interesting. It isn't the first Villainess story to involve death flags, but it's the only one which make the death flags feel like actual threats. The story also never lets you forget that this is part of a game.he only thing about the story that I'm not too fond of is the pacing, sometimes I feel like some scenes drag on for too long ...

my review for this is admittedly biased considering i love the characters here for their aesthetics more than anything, but even then, i think this is a very good villainess story.
the premise is simple: a university student gets dropped into a dating sim overnight, becoming a villainess who has an almost irredeemable reputation among her family. she's met with all kinds of decisions to make in order to turn her reputation around and gain favourability with the game's love interests, even if it involves the risk of death. it's nothing groundbreaking, but there's a lot of depth to the world and characters and the story ...

I don't typically write reviews, and I've never wrote any for a manhwa or a manga but... This story has put me through a rollercoaster of emotions so I feel like I have to write something.
As I'm writing this, the story isn't finished yet but it's reached its climax and I'm, again, unsure of what's going to happen next. The beginning of the story felt a little long and a bit similar to some other isekais. But each next event and each new chapter has managed to surprise me. I realized that most of what I predicted would happen, did not and I was wrong ...

This Manhwa had an interesting premise, which it abandons by chapter 10? 15? 20? I don't exactly remember, but roughly around that time, the idea that the main character is in mortal danger from one wrong move is gone. It devolves into a character drama, the point of which is… I'm not exactly sure. The protagonist doesn't seem to care enough about anything to commit to any one goal. She doesn't fix Penelope's life and relationships, she doesn't vent out her frustration at the situation, she rarely talks to her main escape vehicle, that is Eckles. She lacks character, therefore not being a character.
