Transcript
- 0:05What's up y'all and welcome back to Daddy needs to talk.
- 0:08I'm your host Robert. And today today I'm talking
- 0:11about something a little bit different than a lot of stuff
- 0:14that I've covered here and this is a series called villains are
- 0:20destined to die. Now this is another mom.
- 0:26We're / webtoon published or at least like that the physical
- 0:33anguish. Additions will be published by
- 0:36is a press which is a imprint of Yen press for Korean titles.
- 0:42And so this is a little bit more of a, I guess, kind of like a
- 0:47fantasy romance series The I decided to to check out.
- 0:54So, and of course, thank you to is a press and either wise for a
- 0:59given me, a digital review copy. So, shout out to y'all now.
- 1:04Now this one once again, y'all know I like to try to try some
- 1:09new stuff every now and then and of course as y'all can see those
- 1:14y'all data either just see the thumbnail or or just to cover.
- 1:18Our I have here on the screen. If you're watching the video
- 1:20version the cover is very beautiful and eye-catching as
- 1:26long as. Okay.
- 1:27What is this? What is going on?
- 1:29Let's take a look. And so essentially the Worry of
- 1:34this follows this girl. She's now a young adult going
- 1:39off to college but she basically kind of grew up in a household
- 1:45Where she, so basically she know and it'll be her mother, she had
- 1:51to move in with her father and her two older half-brothers and
- 1:55so I had a horrible childhood growing up feels like she would
- 1:59have been better off living in an orphanage then in this house
- 2:03with her father and the two brothers but she worked her butt
- 2:07off. She she persevered and she
- 2:10managed to finally when she became an adult Move out the
- 2:16house to go off to college and all that stuff.
- 2:18Whatever. So she finally found her
- 2:20Freedom. Well, of course, she's getting
- 2:23out, she's no me and people making friends and stuff
- 2:25whatever. And she ends up hearing a lot of
- 2:28people talking about this game called daughter of the Dukes
- 2:34superlove project. It's the hot new game.
- 2:37Everybody on campus is talking about as she was like, fine I
- 2:42guess I'll take a look and see what it's about and so Is
- 2:45basket, kind of like a, like a romance visual novel Style game,
- 2:51where in the easy or the normal mode you play, as this missing
- 2:58daughter named Devon who got separated, from her family, who
- 3:02are royalty when she was young, and then when she became a teen,
- 3:09she was rediscovered. And then brought back into the
- 3:12family as so that's not the normal.
- 3:15Gameplay, route as you plan as the, the daughter who just came
- 3:18of age and is returning home to her family.
- 3:22But if you play on hard mode, you play as the quote unquote
- 3:27villain Penelope, who was brought in as like they kind of
- 3:33like a doctor of replacement of the daughter that went missing
- 3:39all those years ago because you know she she was kind of
- 3:43orphaned And the Duke ended up coming across ER, and we'll
- 3:48stricken by how much she resembled is lost daughter as
- 3:54so, you play as her? Well, through I know
- 3:58circumstances one day, our main character, you know, she's
- 4:02played through the game on, like the normal mode, whatever.
- 4:05Gotten all the secret endings and stuff, whatever.
- 4:08And so she's like, man, I want to play more.
- 4:10Let me try out the hard mode and she basically just For one day.
- 4:17And the game, as the villain, the villain Penelope on the
- 4:24harder route. Now this game, it has like I
- 4:28said, I like the game itself is a romance game, so you have like
- 4:32affection M for the characters romance and daugaard dialogue
- 4:37options. So she has fly multiple
- 4:38characters. You can try to romance and
- 4:41problem love with and stuff, but well, your plan on the harder
- 4:45mode, you have Work seemingly twice as hard to make any type
- 4:51of progress with these characters and stuff.
- 4:54And so you make the slightest slip up, you get killed and it's
- 5:00game over. Well, so she's stuck as this
- 5:05girl Penelope, she has no clue what happened.
- 5:08She literally fell asleep in the game and woke up and is now
- 5:12playing as the villain Penelope. And so thus the True Story
- 5:19begins because the first chapter of this volume is basically the
- 5:26prologue and stuff like that. And so that's the true story
- 5:30kind of begins. But the thing that kind of is
- 5:33interesting that sucks at first is that?
- 5:36Because the game has dialogue options, she can only speak when
- 5:42there is a dialogue option, presented to her and for any of
- 5:46us do you know, they have played Top of game with, you know,
- 5:49whether it's like a romance game visual novel or a, or a RPG of
- 5:55some sort that has those dialogue options or whatever,
- 5:58you know, sometimes they're pretty good.
- 5:59And sometimes it's like, man, all these dialogue options suck
- 6:03and it's like, kind of screwed, no matter which option I pick.
- 6:07And so that is kind of like her struggle throughout the kind of
- 6:13like beginning of this story and The interesting thing that
- 6:18eventually happens is that through, who knows, what means
- 6:24she ends up meeting certain requirements and completing a
- 6:30hidden Quest. And then once she hits that
- 6:33complete, that guess that, a completed Quest thing, she ends
- 6:36up getting a prompt to turn off multiple choice options.
- 6:41And once that happens, Her flexibility the story.
- 6:48Everything like truly opens up because like I said, she was
- 6:52stuck in like best, literally a box Torres.
- 6:55I hate, you can't speak. You can't say nothing.
- 6:57You can't defend yourself. Nothing.
- 7:01Unless you have these dialog options pop up arrow.
- 7:06And the other interesting kind of like parallel as well with
- 7:08the game, is that she's basically in a similar situation
- 7:13as she wasn't her real life, because, And, like I said, the
- 7:17Kurdish. He's planning his as, in the
- 7:19game. She's the youngest daughter in
- 7:22the house. She has two older brothers, who
- 7:25kind of look down on her. She has a father who kind of,
- 7:28you know, doesn't really care or whatever.
- 7:30And so, she's kind of know, she's kind of like, man.
- 7:33This is kind of like a parallel of what I went through, growing
- 7:36up in my life growing up and saw.
- 7:40So, yeah, so so so so things just like, just like looking
- 7:43more interesting and Wait, once she's able to turn off the
- 7:49dialogue options and then she can just speak for herself and
- 7:53it kind of really starts to open things up for her because, you
- 7:58know, she gets asked certain questions or whatever or putting
- 8:01something situations. And like I said earlier, it's
- 8:04like sometimes like the options that she's given to say, they
- 8:07all suck and sometimes she only knows.
- 8:11Okay, I need to pick option b because when she played the
- 8:14game, she got to this part of the game, is she knew?
- 8:18Okay, I picked a and picked both A and C and I ended up dying
- 8:23those times. So of the three options, I'ma
- 8:27try to be as I. Okay, but eventually, you know,
- 8:31she she starts getting to a point to where now she is
- 8:35encountering new situations. Not only because she has new dog
- 8:40or she has more freedom of speech, but also because now
- 8:45That she's not really being screwed over by the game.
- 8:47She is actually progressing further than she ever got.
- 8:50Was she was playing the game so now she's encountering new
- 8:54scenarios and different things like that.
- 8:57And so yeah. So it's really like I said like
- 9:00like a really interesting story and set up and stuff and just to
- 9:06show real quick just like how beautiful the art looks on that.
- 9:12It's like the colors just like ah, Really pop really well.
- 9:17And I say it justice is the coloring and stuff is just very
- 9:20fitting for this being, a romance, centered Series.
- 9:26So yeah, Penelope and her adventures as the quote unquote
- 9:32villain, but it's just interesting, just to get to see
- 9:37a better perspective of that character because yeah, on the
- 9:44Game, Preserve. This it when you're playing the
- 9:45game, it presents her as this awful villain.
- 9:49But now that she's actually in the game playing as that
- 9:52character, she is starting to get better, understanding, and
- 9:55insight and connection with the character from, like I said,
- 9:59from her own life, that she lived.
- 10:01And you she's kind of start to see like, no Penelope, isn't
- 10:05really a villain. It's just the way people have
- 10:09treated her and their perspective of her especially
- 10:13because, you know she is Is this, you know, she was a
- 10:16stranger brought into this royal family to replace this lost
- 10:21daughter. And so, you know, different
- 10:24characters have different feelings towards her because of
- 10:28that scenario and stuff. So, but it is just really cool a
- 10:32bit later on. Like, so when she starts out,
- 10:33like, more freedom to speak, just seeing her kind of like,
- 10:37really good too. You know, stand up for herself
- 10:43and not no longer take crap from some of these characters and
- 10:50stuff because some of them was like talking down to her but
- 10:53like eventually she starts like putting these people in a place
- 10:57especially there. There's like, there's like one
- 10:58Butler and eventually she's gonna hey Have you forgotten
- 11:04that I am the Duke's daughter. You were speaking to royalty, do
- 11:09not forget your place type of stuff as so stuff like that.
- 11:13She kind of kind of throws to command more respect and stuff
- 11:19from these characters and stuff so bomb.
- 11:22But yeah, but like I said, I really enjoyed this, this first
- 11:27volume is stuff at. So I'm definitely interested in
- 11:31checking out more of Seeing where else this story and stuff
- 11:35goes, you know, like especially with her now and countering
- 11:40these new scenarios and stuff so bomb.
- 11:42But yeah, so shout out to two. Villains are destined to die.

- 11:54Series. So, but I believe that is all I
- 11:58have for y'all for this one, let me just double-check Yeah, yeah.
