This one uses well known genre conventions, a tyrant searching for immortality creates a time loop regression where foreknowledge is used to change the future for the better. The changes ripple to create a growing party around our lead. There are philosophical diversions, swordplay, power struggles, some mystery, and romance. The hook of this one is that the main lead’s archaic and rigid views on knighthood (think Lawful neutral) are what led to her prior misery and she wasn’t involved in the plot to turn back time by choice. While some will find Sigrid cold, overly rationale, or cruel, her beliefs make sense to her life experiences. There is nothing wrong with wanting tax money to be used responsibility, seeking recognition for your hard work, applying the law equally to everyone, or stopping threats to the person you are assigned to protect… only her view was hyper-focused and unquestioned. When she is given competing ideas and the freedom to chose, her character grows tremendously without giving away that core of righteousness. Readers can support her because not only has she now not done (those prior) horrendous acts she regrets and is deeply troubled by her memories of them. It can be hard to keep a killer and socially awkward individual sympathetic and I think it is done well here. [I recommend the book over the manhwa in that regard because you lose nuisance in key scenes. At one point it seems like her friends basically tell her that when you have enough power, status, or money you can do whatever you want in the text bubbles (after clearing her of false charges), but the longer discussion in the novel states the ends don’t justify the means and they don’t want her to do terrible things—but simply not to take the most direct and dangerous approach all the time. That’s very different.] The unusual characters are engaging and the action components of the plot are fine. Curious about how it proceeds.
