I am really looking forward to seeing how the life will unfold for Rishe. I really don't consider her a villainess because all the charges were made up just to get her out the way. So she isn't really a villain like with other light novels series.Cayanan, Joanna (November 5, 2023). "7th Time Loop: The Villainess Enjoys a Carefree Life Anime Slated for January 7".

Even the one who stole Rishe's ex-fiancé from her. It's far more common to see female side characters getting punished and then tossed aside for being bitchy, but that is not the case here. Instead, they are given depth and I find that commendable. I've been LOVING the Villainess/Reincarnation fantasy trope recently, and this novel combined all my favorite parts of the tropes into a really wholesome and entertaining story!

Arnold, for his part, seems torn between amusement at watching Rishe blow up everyone's expectations of her, and something that might be turning into actual love. Eventually. For now his side of the relationship is fairly opaque, as Rishe is trying to figure out exactly who he is . . . and what might have happened to turn him into the killer she remembers. Rishe has heard it all before--seven times, in fact. After the crown prince breaks their engagement and exiles her, she has exactly five years to live before fate catches up with her. But this time, she's somehow caught the attention of the man who will kill his father and start the war that will ravage the world: Crown Prince Arnold.Mateo, Alex (December 8, 2021).

There are so many things I enjoy about this story, especially the ways that tropes are both utilized and turned on their head. This follows the classic (read: TIRED) iksekai opening of a broken engagement w a boring, belligerent prince. But aside from him, all the villains (thus far) aren't actually malicious, and are trying to care for themselves and the people they love in the ways they feel equipped. And yes, the MC is overpowered from seven lives worth of skill and experience prior. I don't even mind because this isn't an "I already know everything that will happen" (she doesn't) reincarnation story--this is a character who refuses to stay stagnant, who is desperate to live fully, and is continuing to grow and better understand her world and how to care for others. Because she's so skilled, she's far from helpless, and the cleverness with which that plays out is refreshing. Time Loop: The Villainess Enjoys a Carefree Life Married to Her Worst Enemy!
