#vadd novel

[d3klex]

Callisto will always remain my favorite, because he is literally insane (especially for Penelope), only he could force all the blond men of the empire to dye their hair black. So Penelope only looked at him (what levels please).

I'm sorry but when Callisto said

"You asked me to get you out of this hell... so please open your eyes"

"Don't die Penelope."

"Don't leave me in this hell."

it fundamentally changed me as a person. I was never the same after that actually. King I'm sorry you dropped this👑

VADD NOVEL SPOILER ALERT ❗❗❗

After reading those chapters (158-159), seeing this cover hurts like hell. Eckles was (mind the past tense) my favourite male to ship with Penelope. (My overall fave has always been Callisto but he's like PERFECT so) I knew Eckles was twisted, when he threw those tantrums because Penelope wasn't spending time with him in s3, I thought 'it's fine, he's like this'. I always liked the yandere character type, after all. But the way that scene it's written in the novel, the way he victim-blames Penelope for his crimes is... too much.

"I don't care if I have to become a traitor who sells out his kingdom and his people..." (...)

"I want you, Penelope Eckhart." (...) "That's what you've done to me. You made me this way, and every time you pretend not to notice what you're doing to me, wearing that innocent look on your face... It makes me lose my mind, but what else can I do? You're still so lovely..."

Those words are terrifying. He says he loves her, he says she's lovely but in the same sentence he says that he hates her. The description of the favorability bar being a combination of love and hate (emphasis on hate), and how Eckles goes from praising her to blaming her for things she has no fault of... (she used him, but she never told him to kill Ivonne or betray his people!) it's so well written. I like to draw the line between fiction and reality, and I always like, in fiction, some toxic dynamics I would never condone in real life, but... The way it's written in this novel is too realistic to enjoy in a "romantic" way.

I feel like sometimes yandere characters are written through lenses that make them enjoyable despite their wrongdoings. Allendis from TAE is first rejected from the FL and then he goes crazy. This doesn't justify him of course, but it makes you feel sympathy, in a way. Jumin from MysMes never actually blames MC in his bad ending.

I love the narrative in VADD because there's just no way to feel sympathy for Eckles. As much as I liked him, as much as I wanted him to be ~the one~ for Penelope, it just crashed down the moment he revealed his true self. It made an impact to me because I felt as she felt. I knew some spoilers about him, I knew he was the yandere, but I didn't know it was this intense. That's probably what Penny felt too. She knew he was sick in the head and she wanted to just use him to escape. He fooled us with his fake submissive demeanor and destroyed us in the end. Penny, because she couldn't escape through him, me because I actually thought his love for her would eventually turn out to be good-natured. But those words he said to her cannot be excused, not even in fiction.

They are still an interesting toxic relationship to explore! And I LOVE the parallels between this relationship and the one she has with the man the myth the legend Callisto. The author did such a good job with the romance description in this series, I feel that, probably due to the whacky translation, the brutality of some scenes mellowed out. But I can't wait to see this in the webtoon

The bastard arrived.

The quality of the print is so good it’s a shame to thow the dust jacket away.

[escailyyy]

This poll is because of all the Isekai I keep seeing of ' I woke up as the wife of a villain ' and they all gloss over the fact that the ML could have been a yandere like Derrick. who is so hated because of how universally jerky he's been to Penelope. And I genuinely want to know what you guys would do, So Isekai fandom. Tell me what your choice is

Speaking of the greenhouse scene, it’s alluded that Callisto gets reminded of his late mother when he hears the crying of women, does that mean we’ll get flashbacks of the late Empress??? 🥹

Please I’ll do anything for crumbs of this woman, SHOW ME HER

[murasaki-cha]

Brainrot got too strong I started drawing. Here's a sketch because I'm not sure if I'll finish it

Also can someone explain to me the science of Callisto's hair because I spent around 15 min trying to figure it out and I still failed miserably

[a-go-ni-a]

Yeah, I still don't like the duke.

I'm glad the authors still show Penelope's complicated feelings for her father.

AND

I love her hairstyle <3
