Usually in reverse harems, I almost always disagree with the author's final choice. Usually, the winning ml is the most boring one with no personality, except being cold to enemies and lovey dovey with mc. Not this time!!

Callisto is very much in love with Penelope, yet they have such fundamental disagreements, that they almost stop speaking. Callisto has allies, that feel like real people. Callisto doesn't magically solve Penelope's problems and can't read her mind. He's kind of an asshole, but a very funny one.

Ask me for the personality of the ml from When the Villainess loves and all I can say is that he's mysterious, polite and... brunette I guess?

Ask me for Callisto's personality and there's so many things to point out! He keeps asking for Penelope's attention all the time like a child, but is shocked to actually receive it (like when he stabbed a cufflink Penelope gave him into his ear, so that he could wear it immediately), he's confident in himself and his worldview, yet doesn't believe that anyone could truly share it. He loves to make Penelope worry and fuss over him, because it confirms, that she still cares. And more!

Btw, this comment has been made to praise Callisto among other male leads, not to elevate him as the best character in this manhwa or anything. Penelope is MVP and I would give my life to her. She and Shuri are my favorite heroines in this genre.
