Surviving in an Extreme Otome game has never
been more popular. The Piccoma platform excited the
entire community by officially confirming that the hit webtoon Villains
Are Destined to Die (Akuyaku no Ending wa Shi nomi) will have
its own animated adaptation for television. The big
announcement came with bittersweet news for readers, as the creators also
confirmed the definitive end of the main story of the work.
The plot immerses us in the classic fantasy of
reincarnation, but with an absurdly high level of difficulty. The protagonist
wakes up inside her favorite otome game trapped in the body of Penelope
Eckhart, the villainous waifu that everyone hates in hard
mode. While playing as the heroine gives you the easy love of the male
characters, being the villain, any misstep leads irremediably to death at the
hands of her brothers, the crown prince or any everyday object. Armed only with
her knowledge of the game, Penelope will have to win the affections of these
dangerous men to find a way to survive.
The original work, written by Gwon
Gyeoeul and masterfully illustrated by SUOL, debuted
in 2020 and quickly positioned itself as one of the most read titles in South
Korea through Kakao Page. The manhwa reached an impressive number of more than
fourteen million views, closing its main plot in chapter 214 last July.
However, fans should not be sad about the conclusion of the print, as the
editorial team plans to launch a long-awaited spin-off after a well-deserved
break.
Seeing that more and more South Korean stories
about reincarnated villains manage to successfully consolidate themselves
within the anime industry
