How the f*ck does that "love at first sight" (prob) evolve in "she's just like any a spoiled and overprotected yakuza daughter" of the first chapters?! Or am I delusional? I remember he truly fell for her after she reveals she's not any other girl but a badass.
Since it’s ‘love at first sight’, he probably wanted her to hate and abuse him; being a masochist and all?
Its kind of like when you talk to a crush for the first time and you have certain irrational expectations of them
^ exactly what the person above me said. He saw her once and heard about her family background he formed expectations and thought she was his ideal girl. He liked the IDEA he made of her. When he ACTUALLY talked to her for the first time, his expectations of her were broken since he obviously knew barely anything about her. It’s normal to think that way. But then he truly started liking her as a person when yoshino showed she was definitely that bish not to be messed with
(๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Another example is: let’s say there’s a guy you see in the halls at school, you think he’s cute and can’t help but be attracted to him. You wanna know more about him. Then you have the opportunity to meet him and get to know him, and you realize his personality is completely different from what you expected. Many people actually go through this and are often let-down because of their high expectations.
For me it's obvious that the origin story was not in the author's mind when the manga started. Guess author just decided that manga needed it.
Yeah. I thought so too. It happened in another instance too. Back when they kept doing extras and the story progress halted (cousin's visit) for several months. Almost it feels like they were still cooking what would happen next but couldn't keep up
+ ops I accidentally press post. Anyway yeah like they took a pause to sort things out to make sure the last 2 arcs make sense with the previous chapters. I mean the author around that time kept posting side story or short vignette that doesn't connect or hints to the next chapter.
Make sense. Thanks!
Spoiler i just realized I wrote a long as* spoiler reply so i might as well share it in a post for others to read.

Near the prep for Penelope's coming of age, Eclis brought in Yvonne (something about he found her). This is very much a betrayal in Penny's eyes since with Yvonne's gone the hostility of the mansion staff is sure to spike and will demand the three the 'fake/adopted' princess (Penelope) because the real one is back.(and it did happen.
The staff treatment of her is spiked) Eclis knew this would have happen and did it on purpose bc Penelope refused his suggestion of eloping (he doesn't want her to stay in the mansion with people hating her) days earlier. This broke the relationship between them. Note that Yvonne brainwashed Eclis, the brothers so they easily give in to jumping to the worst conclusion when it comes to Penelope. The brain wash made them see her a villainess that hate/bully Yvonne.
The fathers is happy Yvonne's back but still love Penelope too. Even if Penelope asked to cancel her coming of age party/debut (bc it's sure the nobles will remark and talk about how she will get kicked out bc Yvonne is back), the Dad did it anyway and threw and GRAND coming of age party with all the things penny liked and things original Penelope asked him in the past. All this to prove to make up for his absence (0 parenting) in her life in the past and to show she is strongly loved and won't be kicked out.
Penelope however is not happy at all. All her works did nothing. The mansion hates her (except duke, Butler, emily), pink brother is back to not thrusting her fully bc of Yvonne's brainwash (so we sort of lost the sibling bond he started to have with Penny), he has no way out since Eclis betrays her, Yvonne's staging her poisoning scene where it will come out Penelope's the culprit ( she's recreating a scene from the game where she can get Penelope out of the picture and get/brainwash Prince) ... Yvonne's plans backfired because Penelope is so broken and done with everything she grab the glass (she was supposed/set up to pass it to Yvonne thus become 1st suspect) and drink the poison in front of everyone while saying "to the real princess(yvonne) return~". She almost dies.
Duke and prince search for the culprit, i could be wrong but they suspected it was Yvonne's maid. Yvonne's brainwashed the maid so she was out of suspect but, was confined in her chambers while Penelope is recuperating thanks to Vinter antidote. When she woke up she ask the duke to let her go since she hates the mansion and everyone hating her. Duke refuse since he see her as her daugther. Penelope then ask Duke to look at Yvonne's reflection (mirror doesn't show her) and thus he starts to suspect Yvonne is not his daughter when they have tea and saw she didn't a reflection on the tea .
At this point Eclis is no longer trusted by Penelope, he doesn't want to be abbandoned and is jealous about the Prince who is close to Penny. Yvonne used these feelings of his and brainwash him to start a rebellion agains the kingdom and Prince (i don't remember this part well sorry). Everyone found out Yvonne is possessed by Leila leader of a cult and an immortal and dark being. Kinda like Voldemort in HP.. Also Eclis rebellion is backed up by Yvonne/Leila's followers.
There was a fight where she attacked the Duke (thanks to Penelope's charm/gift, one we see in the webtoon too, he teleportated away) and Derrick tried to stop Yvonne but couldn't because she's his sister. Yvonne stabbed himself (i could be wrong but he broke the brainwash after this). At this point, Penelope left the mansion. Derrick is healing and Pink brother (idk remember how write his name haha) become alcoholic because he realizes he did Penelope wrong again when he was brainwash, while drunk he ask Penelope (who's not around) to forgive him.
I don't remember much this part, but Prince stopped the rebellion and Eclis dies while still being brainwashed. Penelope beat Leila who told her, she repeated this timeline as Yvonne hundreds of times (like a game played repeatedly) and killed Original Penelope purposely each time and confess that this time it was harder to brainwash everyone especially The Prince (because he cannot love Yvonne since he loves Penelope already). I don't remember how Penny defeated her (something about a mirror...), Vinter was trapped in something to help Penny defeat Yvonne. He could have defeated Yvonne but couldn't because she saved him when he was young. He firmly believes Yvonne could be saved and change bc she was nice to save him. However Yvonne back then was already possessed by Leila (she was setting the trope for him to fall in love in her so she can easily brainwash him).
After defeating Yvonne/Leila, the real Yvonne appear (just her feelings), since she was possessed when she was young she's like a girl / child and she ask Penelope to tell her brothers she loves them or thank them they kept searching for her... I don't remember. In the middle of this mess, Calisto/prince announced his engagement to Penelope and Penelope started living in the castle (she love him so she was okay with it). With Yvonne gone, Callisto hunting Leila/Yvonne's leftover followers, Penelope come backs to the mansion to say her final goodbye to the Duke and yell him Yvonne/Leila is dead. and she admits she'll never forgive them for her mistreatment / (i think she did it for Original Penelope tho). The duke begs to not leave the family (he's ok with her leaving but not her not being his daughter anymore. She's her daughter in his eyes no matter what). The duke ask her where she will go. And she told him she doesn't know yet (she has no intention of staying in the castle. She still wants to be archaeologist like she wanted before becoming Penelope).
She goes to her room and the mansions staff/servants are all respectful of her now because she's gonna be queen, she saved them from Leila/Yvonne. But she doesn't care for any of it. She just went back to see Emily (maid) and get rid of all the things related to the game and affection raising system. Like Derrick necklace gift. She went to incinerator to burn them personally.
That's when a wounded and still recovering Derrick shows up and ask her stays and not marry the Prince. Penelope told him Real Yvonne's message and told him she won't because she doesn't want to be threatend like a caged bird. She's referring to Derrick's method of keeping her bad reputation around so he can keep her locked in the mansion and thus not be with the prince. Note that Derrick is in love with Penelope all this time and she hated being called brother by original and present Penelope bc he doesn't want her to be his sister (he doesn't want to replace Yvonne with her too).
He even tried to force her to stay by grabbing her hand but was stopped by the Prince who came bc he was worried this would have happen. Callisto told Derrick to back off. Penelope told Derrick to recover (he started bleeding during the talk). This they leave the mansion. Vinter was free too (i don't remember when it happened tho. He's still in love with Penelope).
Altho Penelope and the Prince are engaged, it takes some years before they marry. This was possible thanks to the Duke/Father (altho she left the mansion, she was still registered as his daughter) who with his influence convinced the nobility to hold on the wedding. He also did because he hates Callisto (he's not good for her... He's acting like an overprotective Dad that doesn't want to see his baby-daugther marry haha). He also sent the flowers Penelope said she liked.
Penelope is not aware of he's the one sending him flower however. She's not a flower person so she doesn't pay attention to the flowers that always there in a vase. After their farewell they never interacted again. This is also because Penelope is traveling around the world and become and famous Archaeologist (reason why the Duke see her as his pride too). Penelope got pregnant and went back to the mansion (it's tradition her family knows and approve the marriage).
The Duke is overjoyed by her return. She also found out his hobby become gardening, the flowers he sents her are all grown by him. He did so because he wanted to do good and give her something she likes plus he realized the flowers are the only he knows Penelope likes (he realized how absent he was for her). She told she's pregnant and he's so shocked he asked to prepare the military because he thinks the Prince forced himself on unmarried girl which is also his precious daughter! Penelope cleared the misunderstanding and told him their (Penelope and Callisto) love is mutual.
Time skip. Penelope got a daughter who's is magically gifted and powerful that looks like Callisto. Her daughter is very loved by the Duke and Pink Brother (in fact she lovesgoing to the duke's mansion
Her daughter is very loved by the Duke and Pink Brother (in fact she lovesgoing to the duke's mansion

What, what bro i just spoiled myself intentionally and now I don't care even if they don't update it pretty satisfying yet it's too much to gasp in such short time (=・ω・=) ┗( T﹏T )┛
Don't give on the webtoon! Just imagine seeing all the soon to come crazy moments with this webtoon beautiful art! The scene will hit different too!
Also I didn't spoil everything. I left a lot of stuff out and bc of some error (mangago cut 90% of the things i wrote in part 2) my previous reply didn't have the final confrontation Penelope has to face. So yeah look forward to that. ;)
I am still not. Over the BETRAYAL part and eclis dying.
Maaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnnnn
That brainwashing WITCH (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
Yea, I get what u mean but it takes months to update ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Well I am though because if I am guessing right he would basically force himself upon her without thinking of his own circumstances
(⊙…⊙ )
Sure Eclis is a fault for giving in to his desires. But.....
.

I think it was doomed to happen tho bc of Penelope too.
She only see him as a tool to get out. Groomed him to develop feelings (for her) that she doesn't reciprocate. She doesn't feel any romantic obligation towards him, thus she rarely visits him. (I'm pretty sure she visited him 2-3 times). Her rendezvous with the Prince and their relationship was the talk of the mansion too and reached him.
Penelope rarely visiting him with all these rumors, he's left with jealousy and people/servants/knight that threats him like sh*t and when he does see her she's with the Prince and gets shoo away since he's a slave (he can't do anything about).... These are all fuels for his jealousy, search for power and obsession (because she made him believe their allies and the kind-outcasted and misstreated). And Leila brainwash magnified all these feelings.
Anyway her treatment of Eclis that lead him to his death is very much one of Penelope's regret.
I forgot... We also must consider Eclis perspective.

He doesn't know Penelope plans to leave the family/mansion. All he knows is that the love of his life is trapped in a mansion/family that hates her. Thus he feels he must "save her/get her out" and he can't do it since he's a slave. He brought Yvonne to push the servants to pick the "real princess of the house" side thus Penelope will desire to leave for this purpose too . It's messed up.
If he saw Penelope more often and saw she's not some lady who can't stand on her own against those that hate her. He prob wouldn't give in easily to the brainwash, obsession and the delusion that they can't stay in the mansion
Thank you for this! I'm so tired of waiting for updates and I just needed to know my ship (Penelope & Calisto) would sail. I can drop this in peace now (▰˘◡˘▰)

Actually at the very end Eklies didn't die from the impact and was able to survive but forgot everything that happened, soon he found Penelope by chance and followed her for 3 years to protect her and seeing that Penelope is pregnant during those pages when Iklies said "Who are you?" Cause he doesn't know why he's been following Penelope then Penelope whispered "Iklies." She then point through the north and said "Head north and you'll find something there." Iklies then head north and I think became the owner of that kingdom.
Love your girlieeeeee. Thanks for the summary, I was going to loseeeeee my mindddd.
Yup. I do not remember any of that. ╮(￣▽￣)╭ Good thing I didn't go into details for that part.
I cried so hard reading those parts like I'm looking for Iklies and waiting for them to mention him while Penelope having the best time of her life
I'm happy they didn't save the reveal for the end, Miraculous Ladybug style. But... Nah separation idk that's kinda :( for both of them. I'm not looking forward for next chapter, it's gonna be painful. I feel it. Plus what's the antagonist motive?! I'm so confused....
Prob so he could keep Rosa all for himself. Idk how tho but he has his grandma to back him up. Also Miraculous Ladybug rlly be killing me TWICE TWICE They found out each others identity twice and then forgot it BOTH TIMES. It’s getting freaking annoying, my poor heart I swear, if the next freaking season, they don’t get tgthr finally and REMEMBER then I’m dropping it, idc hmph

Tbh after the second amnesia, I'm come to terms that the writers are intentionally screwing up haha. But yeah. I stopped watching after that.
But ngl I loved the movie. The ending... Omg . Also sorry for the super late reply I wasn't using mangago for a while...
No fr at this point I only watch for context on certain fan aus cause they are so much better
As someone that that binged this serie's 50+!chapters in one go and witnessed the changes on the art style, I can firmly say the art is evolving but backwards. Idk what happened but in later chapters the characters anatomy is very similar to Old Yaoi manga style (very big body, small heads). Is it bad? Not really. Just a unique experience.
Maybe even the artist got tired of the crap all of main characters are spewing?(￣∇￣")
The new chapter intrigued me a lot, I decided to re-read the manga from the start. Because who knows maybe there's clue about who's "Mika".... And... this story and narration is a mess. It's so packed of ridiculous world changing(setting) plotwist every damn chapter with barely any break that its ruining the fluidity of the story so much. At least this is my opinion after reading 120+ chapters.

Some days later the dad came to school and literally beat/punched Hyunwoon (light brown haired guy) in front of the school gate. Luckily Chanil (orange haired guy) comes to the rescue.
In the car, (yeah he return with his dad sh*t) and I'm sorry I use goggle translate I might be wrong here,... The dad told him he was disappointed, he expected him to have mature enough and how he had high expectations for him. But Hyunwon says the dad never had any expectations for him. And poured his heart that he (dad) was never there for him. Ever since he was child.... when he was a child he always waited for his dad at school and was looking forward to seeing him but the dad never came. He also said he realized that the business trips that kept the dad from seeing and look after him were lies. There were NO business trip at all. Implying the dad has a second home/house and basically abandoning him to babysitters. He then ask why his dad hates him so much he's his son after all. All this said while he cries.
The dad didn't say a word for the entirety of his heartbreaking speech.... But just said "Apologize when you see your stepmom."
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I. AM. FURIOUS. (╬￣皿￣)凸
Damn throw the 'dad' away, Cirrus deserves better than this a-hole of an abusive parent
Aaaaaghh his dad is just... (๑•ㅂ•)و
For real.

.The chapter ends with a cliffhanger of him knocking on Skylar's house. I'm praying STRONGLY praying he choose to leave the house and dad. It's pretty clear the Dad gave up on him and put his lover above his son.
ME TOO (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
I hope he leaves cut ties with his father. That disgusting sh*t crossed the line. I want to vomit
I felt so grossed out and disgusted of what the step mother did, I dreamt the same scene with the earring but in the dream Hyunwoo(blonde guy) vomited all over the sheets and throw it her faces. Screamed his dad is equally gross and left home and cut ties with his dad saying he no longer have a son.
This is actually interesting, the isekai protag meeting or seeing the original and real owner of body they are possessing!
Man, this makes me kind of happy. The OG villainess is not dead or deleted from existence because the protag took over their body.
