She is picked up by traveling merchants who teach her the trade. Though she is innocent she decides to leave peacefully and her life changes dramatically. In typical historical-isekai-romance fashion, Rishe is confronted for her "crimes". She is actually kind, well mannered and has dreams that are stifled by her family's expectations for her to marry the crown prince of her small country. Rishe (the FL) is an atypical villainess. So, in my experience, I have read good and bad ones. I am the queen of reading historical-isekai-romances.

I can't wait to sink my teeth into volume 2! This was a great first volume and I'm super looking forward to reading more. I can understand why people could get sick of seeing yet another villainess storyline, but I truly believe that, unlike a lot of story beats that could beaten to death, this is one that has actually evolved over time, with writers putting in the effort to separate the work from others and it showing.Īnyway, I rambled for too long. It also helps that the art is playful, the characters (especially best girl Rishe) are fun and endearing, and the story has a lot of potential. Its a slight change, but its a big enough one that makes this feel fresh.

And now, with 7th Time Loop jumping into the fray, we have a fiesty, free-spirited and educated women be accused of crimes she didn't commit and rather than just accept it, she's trying different things in her next lives. My Next Life as a Villainess started the trend, but I Swear I Won't Bother You Again continued its legacy by making the main character an actual villainess who tries to atone for her past and redeem herself. This was so, so good! While I feel like the "villainess becomes a good person" trope is becoming a bit overplayed, something I appreciate about it is I've seen light novel authors and the mangaka that eventually adapt their work actively try to change the formula.
