About this book
Penelope Eckart’s life remains a precarious balancing act as she navigates the lethal "hard mode" of a romance game where a single misstep means death. With the affection meters of her potential suitors now ominously locked, she desperately pursues a backup escape plan. Her strategy involves getting closer to the enigmatic guildmaster, Winter, but their forced “date” quickly spirals into a chaotic nightmare involving anti-magic cults, malevolent deities, and dangerous run-ins with the unpredictable Crown Prince, Callisto. As the tension mounts, Penelope finds herself trapped in a web of shifting loyalties and agonizing betrayal. While she struggles to maintain her composure, the true colors of those around her begin to surface, leaving her feeling increasingly isolated and vulnerable. Featuring classic romance tropes like the high-stakes reverse harem and enemies-to-lovers tension, this volume pushes Penelope to her absolute breaking point. Caught between unrequitable feelings and the looming threat of a forced game-over, Penelope must decide who she can trust before the clock runs out. With the pressure mounting and the stakes higher than ever, she faces the terrifying possibility that her ultimate goal of freedom may be slipping through her fingers forever.

Image 112: A 1x1 image, likely be a tacker probe Amazon Customer](javascript:void(0)) 5 out of 5 stars I can only hope the next one will prove to have more happiness for my best girl! "Please don't die, Penelope." Is there a more fitting quote that reflects my heart after reading this volume? What a whirlwind of emotions I felt! I'm not even honestly sure how much I can recall because of how overwhelmed I was for Penelope at so many points! From Winter's betrayal (which thankfully didn't gut me the same way the manhwa did, but no less angry) to Eckles real colors showing to everything at the end, I felt myself on the verge of tears nonstop. A few random thoughts: - I loathe Derrick's character with my entire being. To say I utterly hate him does not convey even a quarter of how great I dislike his character. In my mind, he will now be known as scum of the earth because that's all he is to me… - Eckles…There are no words. I literally do not know what to say, except I'm relieved that Penelope saw the signs about him near the end, even if it was in fact too late. - Winter would have been my all-in guy…if he hadn't, you know, betrayed Penelope the way he did. I hate how he handled things, but my heart was less angry with him at the end because, at the end of the day, he was the one who made the first move to help her. (Keeping that vague on purpose due to spoilers.) - I never imagined Callisto and I would be one in our opinion of Penelope, but seeing him in that investigation had me internally yelling in agreement with everything he said. PUT DERRICK IN HIS PLACE, PLEASE!! Also, the romance scenes with him were absolutely swoonworthy, even if also heartbreaking due to plot. - Reynold might have been in the dog house with me for a long time, but he is now one of my favorite love interests, despite there being nothing romantic between him and Penelope. He really has shown that he cares for her and values her as his sister. It hurt to see one moment between them due to Ivonne's interference, but I was not angry at him because it was what he did afterwards that sealed him as a favorite character for me. And while not a love interest, I really did love seeing the Duke angry at Penelope when she was so quick to belittle her place in the family, and as his daughter. Seeing his conversation with her deeply touched my heart because he knew he was not the best father, but he genuinely loved Penelope in his heart. I will say that if you are reading the manhwa, this volume went slightly past where volume eight ended, thankfully! (It was definitely not anywhere near as intense as THAT cliffhanger!) Overall, this was an extremely engaging and heartbreaking volume! I can only hope the next one will prove to have more happiness for my best girl!

So even as Eckles’s numbers climb closer toward 100 percent, having a backup man is as good of an idea as any. The best option? Winter…who promptly leverages his position as guildmaster to insist on going out with her! But this “date” has so much more in store for Penelope than she could have predicted―anti-magic cults, evil deities, run-ins with Callisto…What should have been a chance to raise affection quickly lands her on the precipice of failure. Faced with betrayal on one end and unrequitable feelings on the other, Penelope can feel herself cracking under the pressure.
