The popular webtoon Villains Are Destined to Die reached a major milestone this Friday, finalizing its main story arc with the release of Chapter 214 on Kakao Page in South Korea. The series, which began its serialization in 2020, has become a defining title in the reincarnated-villainess romantasy genre, boasting over 14.8 million views on its native platform.
While the primary narrative involving protagonist Penelope Eckhart has wrapped, the production team has confirmed plans to return with a spin-off series following a brief hiatus. Readers following the English release on Tapas can currently access the story through Chapter 210, with the platform continuing to feature the title as a flagship series in its fantasy romance catalog.
The franchise's reach extends well beyond digital platforms. Ize Press has successfully brought the property to the English-speaking market in both print and digital formats. The company is set to release the ninth volume of the webtoon adaptation on August 18, followed by the fourth volume of the original novel series on September 15. The series remains one of Ize Press' top-performing titles, reflecting the sustained interest in the story of a gamer struggling to survive as a villainess in a brutal 'hard mode' world.
