Shi ni Modori Reijou wa, Kanpeki na Shiawase wo Teniireta - Vol. 2 Ch. 3 - What I Wished for in My Seventh Life

[honeycapri]

it took her til the 7th lifetime to find out that the baron's daughter was her illegitimate sister.. really? guess having 7 lifetimes worth of experiences doesn't make you any smarter, no matter how desperately the setting tries to give this MC chances

 

[halcer]

I feel like these characters look familiar but the plot is so terrible I would've remembered it lmaoo

 

[someunregpunk]

Girl had 7 lifes and choose to be dumb f🦆k in each, lmao damsel in distress you deserved to be poisoned

I would be okay with the 1st time. She was raised to be empty gold lined tin can. And maybe the 2nd time since someone that dumb might need more of shock to change.

I knew a dude that shocked himself unconscious working on his house electricity and later nearly burned his fingers off before he learned he's not intelligent enough to work on stuff he doesn't understand a dang thing of. So I get that type of stupidity.

But 7 times! Even the last life was dumb. But then everyone is dumb in that world....

 

[FloorRoof]

I had a laugh when he said he had a 'spare daughter'. Now there's a guy who's prepared for any emergency.

 

[Ceiye]

At first I was afraid it's be another pathetic attempt at a not-villainous-villainess, then I was happy she actually did something bad and the prince didn't turn out comically stupid and a cheater. And then I got kinda bored. So idk.

I think this does take advantage of the time regression slightly more than a pure villainess would, as the """heroine"" isn't the obstacle every life, and the prince isn't an asshat bastard, and there isn't some sudden third party stealing her away at the end. But the execution is just kinda dull that what it isn't is all I can praise it for

I'd be so interested in a story where both the main character and their love interest are looping, aware of each other, it the world is continually trying to keep them apart. With some drama about what otherworldly force would be so desperate to make them suffer.

Actually, I can think of a whole anthology of time loop storylines.

 

[Fuhgeddaboudit]

he knew her father kept killing her and it took 7 times and a bad haircut for him to do anything about it?
like was he actually missing with her half-sister plot device and only crawled back after the commoners started rioting???

 

[Izzydee]

Wait. So, was the maid even really ever at fault? This dumb FL was insecure af, and blamed the maid in 6 lives and then got killed by her dad without trying to idk talk to her fiancé 🙄 I hope the maid living her best life

Some personal opinions on why this chapter doesn’t really work:
1. Too much information. Living multiple lives means the MC gains that much more knowledge, but the oneshot format means either the story waters it down greatly or the readers get overloaded with info that reduces the actual plot. They clearly went with the former.
2. Meant to be focused on 1 person. The hell of time loops is that nobody else understands or can help, and so you are always alone in a crowded room. As soon as you add another time looper, not only does it reduce that original feeling, but you run into WAYYY more complex issues than a oneshot can address.
3. Too PG. I’m not saying they needed gore and sexual imagery, but this story heavily glossed over the despair and depression aspect to zoom in on the Happily Ever After. MC’s “rock bottom” looked about as deep as a puddle, which made this feel more like a fluff piece than a real exploration of time travel and personal growth.
4. Last minute politics. After going the whole chapter with zero political talk, suddenly they’re revolutionizing their monarchy and perfectly eradicating all the Super Corrupt Guys and the characters face no problems or consequences for doing this. Was this part written by a 10
year old.

Straw on the camel’s back was the art. It’s really hard to take a love interest seriously when he goes from silky long hair to choppy middle part. Literally thought it was a new love interest (which might have been fun actually), because he has no other identifiable features.

...after some thoughts, maybe regression trope just doesn't suited as one shot '-')
Everything feels so wrong🤣🤣

 

[lemuel]

The mangaka should have waited until he recovered from that severe concussion before trying to write a time travel story.

I salute you for translating this

The problem with 7 lives is that the two of them were just too dumb. Too many plot holes or just complete idiocy on both of their parts. If each try at life made sense on both of their parts, then it would have been good. Like showing how and why each logical type of attempt failed. This could have just been quick explanations of what she tried each reincarnation that was logical and how the prince acted that was logical. What they showed felt like watching a monkey thrown into a room with a laptop and cataloguing what it did every other minute.

For less disbelief, give a stomachable explanation for each reincarnation, then throw in some subtle foreshadow regarding the father's true motive for killing off his daughter each time (it seems to be that she was just in the way and wanted to prop up the "baron's daughter" as a puppet queen). Etc etc. In this case, her and the prince's actions were just stupid and so the story was frustrating to read.

 

[IrregularPerson]

execution is more, and it's too much a flower garden. the implications is that they started a cou', surely they could have come to that conclusion before their 7th life. never really felt any stakes because of there decent behavior, and what are the weird assuations with the baron's daughter? it didn't seem like she wanted to be a part of any of this at all, and for her father to pit her against another 'daughter' adopt or not, it just seems like he has something against her for no reason whatsoever.
I really dislike it when the 'antagonist' is so anomalous, to the point that the prince is like a key item in early polygon games. incredibly obtuse with not direction for the player... a real damsel in distress
THANK YOU FOR THE CHAPTER! it's real aggravating but it'd be distasteful to just skip a chapter

 

[someunregpunk]

double post somehow.

 

[fantasy.driver1129]

I'm sorry but it took him six/damn near seven to actually save FL...even in one of the past six lives, he personally gave the FL poison. How she still loved him after that is crazy. Like bruh, if you wanted to save FL, move her into the palace, have the maid work in the stables or something, dont fucking talk and Kiki with her to the point it creates gossip, protect FL while she is imprisoned, or just hide her in a covenant far away until you overthrow duke and king. Why the hell did you make her relive this nightmare six times?! FL deserved better

 

[TheGodEmperor]

This one needs more to work imo.

 

[Jayswing103]

It has a really good premise, but a so-so execution. The idea of a ML that has to watch everything fall apart around him after the FL dies because his naive ideals aren't enough to properly run a country is really interesting. Then he's forced into a time loop again and again, beginning to get closer to the person he once hated because she's literally the only other person that he can relate to and have proper conversations with in an unending loop.

 

[Kinkaiser]

So let me get this straight, the evil Duke's plan to get a daughter as the next Queen is:

Step 1: Get Daughter #1 happily engaged to the Crown Prince, such that unless there is outside interference, she will definitely become the Queen just like he wants.
Step 2: Send in Daughter #2 to disrupt the engagement he orchestrated in Step 1 of the plan.
Step 3: Order Daughter #1 to arrange the assassination of Daughter #2, because she is disrupting Step 1 of the plan in accordance with Step 2 of the plan. This should remove Daughter #2 while linking Daughter #1 to a crime that would have her deposed should it be revealed.
Step 4: ???
Step 5: Profit!
