quality fantasy

Reading the webnovel and it gets CRAZY. Found family is one of the bigger themes in this and also reconciliation with the past and learning how to move forward regardless if you have obvious regrets or not. Manhwa hasn't reached that part yet but it's making good progress.

Found family is also a big part of this and so is facing your reality. MC uses literature for escapism as many of us do but when your escapism becomes your reality, you have no choice but to confront your demons and overcome them. Really lovely story when you take a bunch of steps back to see the big picture and even then you might not see all of it. If you like the manhwa so far I highly recommend reading the webnovel. But do note the changes in translating names and stuff.

This really got me into rofan novels again after so many stories of FMCs wanting to go home and not doing shit to do so. She sets out to achieve her goal and does it while having her happy ending. Really wishes we had more side stories of their modern life and the aftermath of her death but oh well. Handles trauma and the subject matter of murder/death pretty well.

First thing I read after KV and it's the same thing. Penelope is actually doing her damn best to escape and doesn't hesitate to tell the audience about how draining it is to live in the romance sim despite all the pretty art. Love how competent the antagonist is too. Penelope is a lil unbearable in the side stories though.
