i’m currently rereading a bunch of ‘older’ villainess stories and honestly…this is one of the best.
penny actually stands on business and makes her own way forward. she is like the best example of a strong female lead
callisto is such a good ml. the way he falls for her feels organic and genuine and their dynamic is so cute
also her family? the way they grow as characters is so satisfying to read. the father actually acknowledges his mistakes and tries to make up for it, which is rare in this genre. rey feels like an actual brother
also the mystery and overarching plot (aside from penny surviving) is also very good. this story nails the mystery needed for such an arc and the way it actually impacts penny as a character is also very satisfying.
overal, this might be one of the best villainess stories out there
tbh since the start i’ve read this as a horror instead of a bl. it has made the experience way better because everything that has happened to cho-ah is just absolutely terrifying. i really don’t think this story should be read as a romance but as a psychological horror and nothing more
