After contemplating for a while I've decided to increase my rating as I realised just how good this story was for the harem otome genre. It includes amazing characters and the relationships between them are carefully built with plenty of angst and thought.

I love how the game dynamics are used in the plot and along with Omniscient Reader, this is one of the few times that I feel like it enhances the story instead of making it seem overly clique.

Lastly, the art. I have never seen more beautiful manhwa art in my lifetime and I probably never will.

season 1

(chapter 1- 44)

When I tell you I cried at the end of season one--oh man.

Story Line: In this story our h becomes obsessed with the latest reverse harem dating game- on her first try she plays as the female lead, and easily plays all of the routes to end up with her leading man. However, there is another game mode--play as the villainess. In this option you are on hard mode and death awaits at every turn.

After paying all night the h wakes up in the body of Penelope Eckart--the adopted daughter of Duke Eckart and the villainess of the reverse harem dating sim! The problem is, she entered the game at its hardest difficulty, and no matter what she does, getting any progress with these guys is like pulling teeth.

Before the "real daughter" of Duke Eckart appears (the games true female lead), she must choose one of the male leads and reach a happy ending in order to survive. But the two brothers always pick a fight with her over every little thing, as well as a crazy crown prince, whose routes all lead to death. There's even a magician who's enamoured with the female lead, and a loyal slave knight!

But somehow, the favourability meters of the male leads increase the more she crosses the line with them! This is Penelope’s survival story, who’s been dropped in an insane reverse harem dating sim!

Spoiler the second I saw this character I was like "yup, that absolute psycho is my pick!"

DID NOT FINISH

95% of the male characters are rotten to the core so far. Maybe 100% by the end? will see~~
