What will you do if you got reincarnated and the person who killed you will be your new lover? Are you going to kill him/her immediately or will you watch how things progress?
Greetings Realmers and I hope that your Sunday is going well. While I was scrolling https://animeflix.live/ for an anime to watch I came across this new series called 7th Time Loop: The Villainess Enjoys a Carefree Life Married to Her Worst Enemy! this isn't in the Isekai route that I am constantly consuming but still I decided to give it a go since I also read some reincarnation/regression type mangas.
Here's the summary per the Crunchyroll website.
Rishe, the duke’s daughter, is no stranger to reincarnation—it’s her seventh life, after all. Each life restarts at her broken engagement. Having been a merchant, a maid, and a knight, she now desires leisure. But her world changes when a prince, who killed her in a past life, proposes! To prevent war and live to a ripe old age, she begins her seventh life as the bride of an enemy nation’s prince. - Crunchyroll
First things first, being reincarnated seven times is no easy feat in a series, more often than not regressors only experienced it once. With the exemption of Ryu Min of The Max-Level Player’s 100th Regression and Yoo Joonghyuk who regressed for 1863 in Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint the experiences that they acquired and the knowledge made them aware of their surroundings and even created some conclusions that don't make sense with the current timeline.
In the first few minutes of episode 1 a fierce battle is happening within the palace grounds. A lady-like man who is one of the knights guarding the prince will face his demise at the hands of the tyrant emperor Arnold Hein.
They fought till death but the lady-like man died easily at the hands of the emperor and then regressed.
It was Rishe the main character of this series and on her sixth regression, she decided to pretend to be a boy and joined the ranks of the knights.
Every time that she regresses, she always goes back to the same scenario wherein she's going to be banished from the kingdom and will be stripped of her title as a noblewoman. At first, she had a hard time accepting it but as the saying goes experience is the best teacher thus after every regression that she had she planned to do something different and make sure that what she learned from the past life would be useful in the current timeline that she is in. She becomes a merchant, a scholar, a herbalist, a maid, and a knight in her past lives thus on her seventh one she decides to doze off and watch everything in place.
Compared to the evil villainess that regressed in some series that I have read, Rishe was never a bad one to start with. With politics and power struggles involved among nobles, she lost her position on being a fiance of the crown prince btw the prince is a jerk as his explanations of annulling the engagement are quite simple and childish. In episode 1 she revealed to Mary the new fiance of the crown prince that she understood what was going on and hoped for her to find happiness in what she wants to achieve.
What I am looking forward to in this series is how Rishe can unravel everything about her death as all of them are related to the war that happened due to Prince Arnold's action to take over the world. The build-up of a relationship with them too is something to look forward to as well. I suspect a reverse harem route as her mentors in her past lives are also included in this timeline.
The series is released every Sunday and now it is on episode 3 on Animeflix I had this bookmarked already so that if there's an update I can watch this immediately.
How about you? Do you also watch some romance anime? What are you watching this season?
