Can I ask for spoilers about htwmho Novel? I always believed the current Ruby and the original one were different people, but I've seen comments suggesting it's not the case. If so, how do we explain her Korean life memories? Is she maybe a fragment of og Ruby's soul like Penelope's case? I personally prefer this explanation cause I don't like the idea of Iske loving 2 different Rubies just because they look alike but they're essentially different people.
I fear that S&K's incompetence once again strikes because it was just left ambigous but the original Ruby might also be the current Ruby the same way original Iske is current Iske thus the shared dream. In fact, the manhwa seems to start to explore that with season 3 finale (and current Ruby felt "a strange sense of familiarity"), it also might depend on who is the person with the cloak talking to the original Ruby.
We don't have the complete answer but it could be that what we got was: original Ruby timeline -> South Korea timeline -> current timeline.
I was wondering which version of Penelope's words would you consider closer to the og meaning:
"Calisto Regulus, I love you too, so as two people who love each other, let's try to make it work" from the manhwa chapter 213 or
"Calisto Regulus, I love you too, and I want to do what's best for the one I love" from the novel's official English translation?
And are there slight differences between the dialogue in the manhwa and novel you'd like to point out?
You might be surprised but I think the English manhwa version is closer to the original version from the KR novel AND manhwa ("나도 당신 사랑해. 그러니까........" "사랑하는 사람들끼리 한번 잘해 봐요." Yes the manhwa sometimes slightly changes some words compared to the novel in the KR version but here for this specific quote, the exact same words are used!)
which manhwa and manga artists are your favorites? :)
Suol (VADTD), Gomyang (On The Way To Meet Mom), Banana (Secret Lady), Seungu (MILWOWM), Siru (HTWMHO), Hye Yeon Chu (Mother's Contract Marriage), Kamome Shirahama (WHA), Mizuho Kusanagi (YOTD), Takehiko Inoue (Slam Dunk) etc.
I love the art style and the fact that they're also great story tellers!
do you think penelope abused eckles? i know someone said that she didn't groom him in one of your reblogs, but did she abuse him? i personally think she didn't, but she did however hurt him some way for treating him like a game character. i think.
I think Penelope manipulated him rather than abuse him. Hurting someone's feelings (Penelope both does it unconsciously since she thinks of him as a video game character and consciously later once trying to break away from him after the betrayal) doesn't necessarily mean abusing them: it can be the case sometimes but it is NOT here. She didn't groom him either, especially since the ones who made those accusations called Penelope a "pedo" when Eckles is either the same age as her (compared to Penelope) or a year younger (compared to Si Yeon).
Penelope did wrong Eckles in some ways but it's not her fault if Eckles (a man who later uses his fallen prince status) can't take no for an answer and has to try to kidnap her multiple times, succeed once and make SA threats because she doesn't want to go with him and cooperate/become his trophy wife.

Of course, I'm a big awfc fan (you're lucky that I couldn't tweet due to that glitchy tweet limit when the McCabe transfer news dropped because I was so pissed lmao).
Are there any reasons that og penelope is implied to like Callisto? I remember it a lititle but I also forgot
Basically when (the current) Penelope blurted out "I love you" to Callisto in the maze, that wasn't really a lie because part of her (since she's also the original Penelope) meant it the same way words came out of her words when she told Reynold about original!Penelope's past in the attic scene... Some of the emotions she felt towards the Duke in the pre-coming-of-age ceremony scene was original!Penelope's as well.
She thought she made it up on the spot/out of nowhere but it all ended up being true: the fact that was had no money, couldn't read, was homeless and starving with her mother's dead body beside her until the Duke proposed to adopt her (cf. manhwa chapter 44). She knew because the current Penelope is a fragment of the original!Penelope's soul (the last fragment left).
Penelope's "I've been in love with you for a long time" felt true despite the fact that Callisto literally just came back from war because that was original!Penelope talking and the fact that Si Yeon/current Penelope felt compelled to play Callisto's path again and again (he's the ML whose path Si Yeon played the most) confirms it. She genuinely wanted to see him succeed and become an uncorrupted ruler because she loved him.
Ivonne also purposely got with Callisto and married him/was by his side at the parade to taunt Penelope and psychologically torture her, because she knew about Penelope's feelings for him (unfortunately, the hatred curse was still too strong at that point). She didn't need to marry him to get the Golden Tooth. Ivonne didn't do that because she had feelings for Callisto, it's obvious they hate each other and Winter, Eckles and Derrick were much easier targets to brainwash.
how many vadd chapters do we have left?
Probably 3-5 chapters left (I would say probably 4 chapters? Who knows!)
what do you use to make your video edits ?
Vegas 18 and sometimes I use After Effects some stuff!
how many votes did the calliope poll get
It has 453 responses for far!
In chapter 184 of the manhwa, Penelope revealed part of her secrets to Callisto, but there were still things she hadn't told him, like how she thought all of this was a video game, and how she's in reality part of the soul of the og Penelope Eckhart...etc. Did she get to tell him all of this eventually? And did Callisto get to see how Siyeon looked like originally? I just love the idea of Callisto loving her even without the brilliant looks of her current body
She did tell him everything eventually though it happened off-page. They have come to know every little thing about each other, which is why I'm glad they didn't immediately get married! They took the time to properly know each other (their habits and quirks, their childhoods etc.) and fell in love with other all over again.
And it's because he knows everything about the Mirror of Truth and the video game from the modern world that Callisto had several panic attacks throughout the years that led him to try to destroy it, since he feared that the Mirror would try to take Penelope away from this world and bring her back to the modern world... And it did happen, though Penelope found her way back home quickly and cut the connection for good.
Callisto didn't get to see Siyeon's appearance though I have no doubt he would have loved her anyways! It's slightly different from the novel but Callisto immediately recognized Penelope on that ship despite her altered appearance and he didn't even care!
