Second one is already a massive letdown. :pout:

Even though in his second life he'd done nothing wrong (besides quite persistent stalking) I felt zero desire to root for the guy and fmc's deep-seated hatred for him appeared to be rather shallow after all.

It just, I felt something missing on this theme particularly. The time rewind is left some itch that you can't scratch. The villainess formula is good even tho there's no real villainess or more in the role. But this is wrong. This is so wrong.

It feels like the only difference between this oneshot and one we would find in the villainess anthology is that there isn't a background characters trying to justify her villainessness like "that Whatshername is such a BITCH to her HOT FIANCE."

We are free from the shackles of the villainess tropes. Has the time regression genre really regressed to only Villainess for the shoujo fans and Power Fantasies for the shounen?

Considering these are being sourced from Syosetu, it'd be the common trend where it happens.

? What happened to that other girl he got engaged to at the party?
The story just glazes over it after mentioning it.

Pretty bland overall regardless but still.

I'm so happy seeing I'm not the only one reading this like "Thank you for the translation but man this one was a flop"
Creepo is a creepo in the first life, refusing to grow up or mature at all. Repeats the exact same behavior in the next life and the MC is like "oh he just can't communicate at all! That's totally fine and not a red flag!"
None of the characters make me want to cheer for them. Not creepo OR the MC :/ I hope the next chapter is more.. I dunno, likeable. :'D

Oh no the other girl was our MC.
The engagement was called off because Creepo saw MC at the party and didn't realize it was the girl he was supposed to get engaged to. The typical trope.
