The Villains Are Destined Die novel is the source material that inspired the bestselling romantasy manhwa of the same name, which is also published by Ize Press. A college student finds herself trapped inside a brutal reverse harem game—not as the adored heroine, but as the doomed villainess, Penelope. To survive, she must charm one of the love interests and reach his good ending...but with negative affection meters and limited dialogue choices, one wrong move could mean her death. This title will be available to the public August 26, 2025 in print, digital, and audiobook formats. Each volume will feature a die cut cover that highlights full-color artwork of the handsome male leads. Complete in 5 volumes, the Villains Are Destined Die novel is perfect for romantasy readers, reverse-harem lovers, fans of the ‘misunderstood villain in a dating sim’ trope, and of course, existing readers of the comic adaptation.
