I Swear I Won’t Bother You Again!

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

Violette, driven mad with jealousy towards her half-sister, committed a crime. However, she ultimately regrets ever committing such atrocity from the bottom of her heart while lamenting inside her prison cell. But fate was fickle, time rewound to the day she met her younger sister—the day she succumbed to insanity.

Violette returned to the past, a time before she committed the crime, where she reached a conclusion.

This time, there will be no irreparable mistakes. Without ever committing a crime and bothering anyone, she will live a life she thinks she deserves, an ordinary, plain, and inconspicuous life. Free from incarceration. Free from guilt.

Oh, but tweaking a portion of the past and going off-script for a bit to avoid that crime wouldn’t hurt anybody, right? Right, it will even benefit everyone? No one will know anyway, it’s not as if someone’s watching her anyway… Or so she thought, because for some reason, things are heading towards a very weird direction.

I really love this novel. I think the MC's background is the reason behind her villainess. Heck, if I were in her shoes, I might've commit su*cide or maybe ran away from home and live as commoner already. This is the first novel where I want to strangle someone so badly like this. So yeah, I am emotionally invested already.

Anyway, I'm going to rant about the things that infuriates me.

... more>>
Spoiler

First off, the father (SPERM DONOR) He's a sorry excuse of a father, I will call him SD, short for sperm donor because that what he was. SD practically neglected his own biological child. Yeah yeah I know SD hates MC mother but come on. MC is not at fault yet SD keep on treating MC like shit. I don't care if SD is so handsome or whatev, I want to bit*h slap this SD to the moon and back.

[collapse]

Spoiler

The female lead, Mary. As usual you get the innocence (idiot) , pure (dense), cute FL. BUT! I don't want to call FL as innocence. While our MC suffers from long period of neglect from both of MC parents, FL flaunts how loved FL was and how happy FL was in front of our MC. Like, if you even have an ounce of COMMON SENSE OR BRAIN TISSUE, you should be able to know not to rub the salt on someone's else wound. I'm disappointed to know that this friggin FL going to have her happy ending because she was practically "innocence". And yes, I want to bit*h slap this FL because SHE IS A b*tch.

[collapse]

Spoiler

The ML is the only one with brain tissue here. Sees a fight? He didn't immediately pick sides and judge the situation logically. Sees your friend's just lost her mother? ML comforted his friend. It's not that the ML is overly nice or something. The other person is just simply too cruel to notice how badly neglected our MC is. ML is the only one with working eyes and heart to see the thing as it is.

yes---hello hello--- I MTL-ed the story to the latest chapter---

Well, this is a more serious story, honestly. it's not that there is any complicated plot, but the.. how shall I say it... the tragedy of violette's situation, being the neglected unloved daughter, in the loving family of three. excluding her, of course. violette's background is similar to 'my fiance loves my little sister', thoguh the degree of tragedy and drama is much less. but my heart hurts very much for violette!! and I know the little sister is innocent and... more>> all, but urgh, naive and ignorant people are just... not the characters I like to see...

But also, I ship the main couple, it's so cute! I ship it---kyaaaa! the main couple is cute, ok---! he cares for her so much---! I'm waiting for them to get together!! <<less

Finally this novel has been translated. I just read the translated manga but reading the novel is good too. This is a really good novel about a rebirth villain from an seemingly otome world background who after gotten the 'bad end' was send back to the time just after the heroine's arrival. A bit dark and emotional so be prepared to stock up some tissues while reading it. I like the fact that this novel gives the inside view of a villain's mindset and why she turned villain before her... more>> rebirth. I'm giving my thumbs up for this novel. Can't wait to see more translated. <<less

Otome world, villainess as the MC, rebirth, angst. That about sums it out.

Highly recommended for those who understand the phrase "hurts so good."

The MC's life is an emotional desert. She would've been happier left to the household staff to raise, and only seeing her parents occasionally à la Victorian times.

... more>>
Spoiler

Her father was a leading man in his own dog's blood love triangle between his obsessive unwanted wife and the other woman he loves and had a lovechild with. Emphasis on lovechild, because that is the only child he would ever truly acknowledge and love, his first daughter little better than air at best, an irritating pebble in his shoe at worst.

To add to paternal negligence, is a suffocating maternal love, that isn't really love at all, her mother only seeing her as a substitute for her father, forcing her to subvert her femininity so she could act out her needy mother's delusions. Is it any wonder she latched on to a literal prince charming, hoping he'd sweep her off her feet and rescue her from being unloved? Then snapped and went homicidally insane when her golden child sister rode off with him instead

[collapse]

Her family life caused her to act out in ways that led to a bad ending in her original life. In this second chance she has now, she has resolved to cause no fuss, and be as inconspicuous as possible
Spoiler

until she can finally fulfil her goal to be a nun. That's right. A nun. Because cutting herself from the rest of the world is the closest she believes she can get to happiness

[collapse]
However, I don't think this is a tragedy though (although so far, there are only valleys and no peaks). I think the author is going for delayed gratification. All this angst, means the characters have to work harder to get their happy ending.

I only hope that karma goes around, specifically for one person.
Spoiler

The father. O ye gods and little fishes, the father. Everybody else can be forgiven for their shortcomings: the MC who used to be queen bit*h and is now running for martyrdom. Her friendzoned best friend who is determined to snatch the gold medal from her as the most self-sacrificing. The oblivious sister who just keep. Making. Things. Worse. The prince who either comes to conclusions too easily or else can't make up his damn mind. Even the stepmom, who it seems just doesn't care to exert effort to make the MC feel included in their loving family

[collapse]
Things would be so much better if that person never talked or looked in the general direction of the MC ever again. <<less

If you came here from the manga, be warned that not only is the manga 'caught up' to the novel but the novel's tone is drastically different since it goes into greater detail regarding the protagonist's backstory and her thoughts. As you'd expect from someone with a depressing home life whose aspirations at happiness have been crushed, she's quite depressed and listless in the novel as opposed to the manga where it seems more like she's simply become unambitious and apprehensive at associating with the people who got her killed.... more>> This sheer difference in tone means that the two might as well be telling different stories. Another factor to consider is that the translation of the novel has a few errors that might prove annoying to people not used to reading stories from this site.

Personally, I like the darker tone of the novel since it better fits my idea of what someone like the protagonist would actually go through if given a second chance and I have a higher tolerance for bad grammar from reading stories here and fanfics so thus the 4.0 rating. <<less

It's rare for the light novel translation to be behind the manga translation, but I think I see why. The manga flows coherently with a timely progression, whereas three chapters from the novel can all be a conversation that took five manga pages, thanks to the descriptions of the characters' thoughts and mental states. While I usually appreciate the effort in that, in this case, it's rather redundant. I'm sure the intention was to rack up the drama, but rather than getting invested, it makes me bored and sleepy, wanting... more>> to switch to a more exciting story. In particular, I feel like things I already know are getting repeated to me, assuming I'm an illiterate idiot who can't pick up on context clues. It's a good story, don't get me wrong, but I feel sorry for the translator having to go through all that unnecessary exposition. The novel, I actually would say is three stars, but the manga is four and a half. <<less

I like it, the MC realizes that she had done wrong and repents for it. And after time looping back to the past she doesn't suddenly become OP or start living her live happily again. She tries to slowly overcome those depressing things which had pushed her into despair and doing horrible things. She is learning and struggling with all her might. I like this kind of MC. I feel like that there is a lot of room for her character to grow and I'm looking forward to that.

I really like this story, mainly because there's potential angst? Not that there is that much since it's basically a villainess story.

It kind of reminds me a bit of My Fiance is in Love with my Sister in that the main character feels super unloved and unwanted. But she tries not to wallow in her pessimism, and the translation is pretty good, so I recommend you read it.

What everyone has liked about this book I agree with. The problem I have with this novel is the writing style. It's slow.

There is way too much exposition. There conversations that take whole chapters because after each person talks we have to read on why that was said and how the character felt about that statement. Happens for almost every line of dialogue and slows things down.

First before anything else. The text of the story is completely unreadable. I mean it's painful to read. That's with three different groups trying their best to do something with it and google's machine translation. It's all like driving a spike into your eye

Recommendation: Read the Manga. It's nearly at the same point as the story and it reads much better.

Next the setting

... more>> Patient: It hurts when I do this

Doctor: Don't do that.

I love the groundhog day theme, its a wonderful setup but in this case it's really too much.

The MC is not the victim of a frame up (she is a victim in other ways). You are told from the start she tried to kill her sister, failed, is tried, found guilty, and sentenced to life. She had a blip back moment and the story starts a year before it happened.

[B]All she has to do is just not attempt to mu*der her sister, bing bang boom life goes on for her. [/B] The rest is pretty much overthinking things. All the usual crap in these things is just that crap. It pretty much happens in every scene.

Here's it boiled down to essentials. It's not a big spoiler as it's laid out early but it's a repeating theme.

Spoiler

The sister is an annoying Polyanaish character and a cheat character (does everything better than the MC without trying). While the MC has to live with the fact that the sister is indirectly both the reason her childhood was ruined, and the death of the MC's mother, all while their father shows the MC no affection, while pushing her to help her little sister to adapt.

The MC just needed to put distance between herself and this annoying idiot. Simply put just sitting her down and saying "Look your birth destroyed my childhood, drove my mother to her death, and has likely ruined my future. I don't blame you for it It's not your fault, but we aren't becoming besties anytime soon

[collapse]

I have to confess to a certain curiosity about how the author will resolve things. There's a few characters that I would dearly like to see get theirs but it's just not worth it to struggle through the text. <<less

What the... reading this story hurts like hell. How do I say this? It's like I'm the MC herself. I just can't help feeling bad for MC and want to jump into the novel to protect her myself. Being an unloved daughter with only a few people to count on... it's tough. The MC is really tough, but also afraid of relying on others for fear of being a burden. Thus, she keeps on shouldering her worries by herself.

The title itself, 'I swear I won't bother you again', speaks volumes.... more>> She's just trying to live without being a bother (because she apparently thinks she is... WRONG). Character development is crazy good, and the story gets better each chapter (... and sadder...).

It just makes me want to cry constantly, man... Poor MC. Every character is sh*t except for her and Yuran (I'm guessing he's the ML) and it pisses me off. She deserves all the love she can get ??? If you're expecting a cute and fluffy story then you're gonna get very, very hurt. Because I definitely did. <<less

This is different. And the villainess's planned action is actually realistic. Even the motive is realistic.

I had some confusion regarding the summary. It is true that the villainess was brought back before she committed the crime, however she didn't come back RIGHT before the crime happened, ala Duke's Daughter. She's sent far further back... to when she first met the heroine and when her madness started.

I look forward to seeing whether Violette can keep her vow, and the problems that crop up now that she's distancing herself instead of blowing... more>> up. <<less

Allow me to announce beforehand that I'm most probably not the target audience for this novel

You know how every shounen novel starts with how beautiful the girl is? They describe her hair, her figure, her fashion style, her eyes, etc. She's the most beautiful girl in the whole prefecture, QED. Whether or not this sounds like it objectifies women, I leave to your interpretation.

What I don't need to leave to your interpretation, is that this novel, most probably due to the fact that it's aimed at shoujo demographic, took THAT... more>> and went absolutely wild with it. I'm not familiar with works aimed at female audience, but based on the fact that the covers of western female novels usually depict a scantily clad muscled young male I can't help but think that this isn't just a unique quirk of Japanese literature

The novel begins with one irrefutable fact: Violette was violent, she bullied her sister and made an attempt at her life. This, she did not refute, and instead wished to not do that. Her way of doing this is to turn 180 degrees from having an active life to a completely passive one, to the point that the very thought of doing something brought to her immeasurable depression. Throughout the novel it was made clear that she has a broken home, which is pitiful by itself but then...

Then... the author decided to go absolutely wild. Entire chapters were dedicated to explain how the male leads absolutely adore Violette. Leaving aside the quirk of having a normal european name like Violette and Mary-Jean for girls to androgynous "Yuran" and "Claudia" for men, at multiple points in the story a couple chapters were dedicated to explain how much Violette means to Yuran: "I love this girl, I'll do absolutely anything for her, and I'll kill anyone who hurts her". Yes, this happened multiple times, I remember about 4 times and that's just with one person - Claudia and Melania (both are men, I assure you) are still waiting for their turn to gush about Violette - while none of the contents ever change, it's really just the feelings of a simp written in text, and it's gross. The only salvation is the fact that these simping feelings come from a handsome boy, if you replace him with an ugly looking hikki you'd be horrified

Reaffirming their feelings is by itself not a problem, but Violette made it clear that instead of attempting to avoid her fate, she's attempting to NOT do anything, thinking that by virtue of doing anything, anything at all, she'll repeat her mistake. This train of thought was never justified, because the logic did not make sense: her reasoning is since she couldn't bring herself to like her sister, then she should just give up on life, maybe then her sister will not pester her and thus she'd be spared the undignified death

At NO point did she think of "well if I have problems associating with this group, I'll just associate with another group instead, out of sight out of mind". This baffling train of thought was justified by her mind being broken due to her broken home background, thus she would not seek help from outside. Even if we pass over this gaping plot hole, it does not change the fact that Violette acts like a tragic heroine instead of a woman wanting redemption: she's passive to the point of inviting ire. This is especially troublesome because she could in fact not be passive, she actively chooses to be passive (what a conundrum) for no other reason than thinking passiveness will help, to the point that she refuses to correct misunderstandings, even as she admits this misunderstanding will only cause problems down the line

For example: she wishes to not meddle in the affairs of her sister Mary Jean and His Royal Highness Claudia (yes, this is a male). Violette used to throw herself at Claudia, and now she wished to stay away. Rather than admitting her fault and making it clear she no longer wished to bother him, Violette proceeded to act bashful like a prim and proper lady in front of him, causing Claudia to fall for her. This was justified by Violette trembling before a royalty (which she never did) thus failing to speak up, and still having a lingering hope that Claudia will choose her despite again, she wanted to stay away from his affairs

In short: this novel promptly forgot its original premise and devolved straight into generic shoujo harem <<less

Pros:

    • I like the complex personalities portrayed in this, and they're portrayed maturely. They aren't as one-note as many characters that you're used to are.
    • The main character goes through some amount of growth, but realistically is stuck in a self-defeating cycle where she can't figure out how to move on, or never makes enough effort to.
        • Which is realistic. Real people do that all the time.
    • It has a gripping tragic setting and yet makes it clear that things aren't just black and white, but dependent on the perceptions of the people involved. This is a more mature writing style than we're used to in many of these types of works.
Cons (note that this portion will contain some unmarked spoilers; I will try to keep them vague-ish but read at your own risk) :

    • This is kind of just tragedy p*rn. There is a lot of introspection, a lot of multilayered and complex interactions, but at the end of the day not much actually happens. It's just the tragedy of a girl dealing with her absolutely messed up family, which includes a misguided (and insufferable) half-sister.
        • And in fact you've probably seen this type of story before, just from novels set in a modern school instead. Or hell maybe you've already seen it in a medieval-esque one already, too. It's not new.
    • There's some contradictory characterization going on. Her half sister is described as a genius... yet she's pure and beautiful and good. She also never notices the main lead's suffering, doesn't care enough to, and overall is one of the most insufferable people in the story.
        • Likewise, the main lead doesn't understand that being pure doesn't make a person inherently good, despite being well above average academically and socially, and frequently reflecting on her own actions and the feelings of others. She constantly beats herself up for being angry originally at her half sister when frankly she has every right to be. It was a crappy situation for everyone involved.
        • Furthermore she keeps emphasizing that her sister is so good, but this doesn't really make sense. Her blithe ignorance of the main lead's feelings are remarkably bad. They don't call that kind of purity "good". She's just as bad as the main lead's father. Which isn't surprising, honestly everyone in this work (including, originally, the main lead) is basically mentally ill on some level.
        • It's not that this type of social dynamic is impossible per se, it's just highly implausible. Maybe this work has too many generations of inbreeding as the backdrop lol.
        • Overall I can excuse some of the character actions as not making sense simply because that's how things are in real life, and they're complicated characters... but it gets too implausible at some points.
    • Her beauty probably has at least some number of pages wasted on describing it. Like if you combined it, literal pages have been used to talk about how beautiful the main lead is. Yet... uh... it's not really used often. The fact that she doesn't get hit on at all, even considering the situation is... unlikely, to say the least. Very unrealistic. She's basically beautiful enough to start a war over, and she's got brains and manners to boot.
    • Finally last but not least, this isn't the fault of the work but this is relevant to you as a reader. There just isn't enough of this available for any sort of consumption. And the going is kind of slow. Official translations always take ages, and the wn translation is basically going at a turtle's pace. Vol 1 leaves off before anything that I would call major actually happens. It's just extremely unsatisfying to pick up at the moment. I enjoyed reading it, but that's also kind of a problem in and of itself.

The story never moves on and it's just a shitty joke tbh.

Spoiler

Vio is truly pitiable. His father is a bit*h that should be beaten then left in a ditch, her step-mother is a wallflower sl*t, he dead mom is a piece of shit. And worst of all her hlaf-sister is ignorant.

In summary, she wants to kill herself later but is saved by the ML and one other person ;). Not worth reading tho IMO there is no plot to this anymore.

Well, I read the manga and got hooked, read the translated novel, loved, went to the raws (thanks google translate!)... This is a heavy drama, no fun in here.

... more>>
Spoiler

Reading the novel, you understand and kind of “forgive” what Violette did to Mary jun... her father married her mother for convenience, only her mother loved him, his father was cold and had a affair, as soon as her mother died, he brought the affair in, with the half-sister that he publicly love (he don’t try to hide), the half sister “steals” the one she wanted, no wonder why she snapped, Violette never had the love of her father

[collapse]

For what I hope the author do

Spoiler

Dad needs to be punished, he needs to depend on Viollete love to something and gets denied like he did to her. Half sister needs to get a punch of the “truth”, she needs to serious apologize for what her mother (and her) did to Viollet and finally, she needs to end with Juran

[collapse]

The only problem of this novel is that the author speed of development, she is too slow and in some chapters she don’t develop the plot at all. <<less

... Have you ever read a book that says "I don't want to know, but of course I know but he knows and I know, and I wonder if they know, but I definitely don't want to know... I could find out, all I have is to ask, but no... I don't want to know... although I already know, I can guess... no, I know... but I don't want to know"?

Well... that's a thing that can be written...

No, seriously, this book is written like this, such a meandering portrayal of... more>> a dumb train of thought just to appear as if you're doing characterization but in reality you're not saying a goddamn thing... oh! forgive me, let me point out, that meandering bull?? that's a whole chapter, what we got from that chapter?? "he's friends with one of the male leads"

And the chapters are short so you barely advance anything in the story... but they feel like an immense soliloquy that extends to eternity because they are sooooo boooooring.

So far we know 4 things that are important, her dark past (took like 10 frikken chapters), her reasons to act this way in her resurrection (this took like 5 chapters... veeeeery short and it's the most exciting and interesting part of the novel), there was someone that loved her for a long time (25 chapters... of boring, uninteresting characterizations) and that two main characters have a deeper relationship (10 more chapters, a bit of intrigue and world building that's kind of interesting)

Chapter 40 and that's all we know...

And the main plot has come to a screeching halt...

And it's mostly focusing on characterizations, but the MC is your run of the mill "no personality" MC of Japanese novels, just getting dragged on by the plot with no character or interesting trait, she doesn't act like someone that has gone through what she went trough, outside the 5 chapters where she was the most active, most of the time it's just... dull, boring, uninteresting interactions... (you know the type, oblivious to everyone, no reaction when someone does things for her, misunderstanding everything because she's emotionally deaf)

And I don't want to push blame to the translator, but this kind of novel... it needs faster releases because with the momentum being squashed in the first 5 chapters, and everything else being dragged on for AGES, I barely remembered that they were having lunch and who was sitting on the table.

I'll just stop reading as things get released because this novel is one that needs to have at least 10 chapters to move anything forward... sorry translator, I really do appreciate your hard work, but I think this novel is not worth to read on release because of the slow pacing... I'm more frustrated by the author than you my dear friend, this novel started so good and got so many things right and then just... stopped, and began to meander on obnoxious irrelevant stuff... Now I see why the Manga is much better, they have limited space for thought bubbles. <<less

I honestly think this story just drags on too long... like, it's a story trying to drag out one single problem....

Also, I feel it's just bad how it over and over repeats MC's dad being horrible to her over and over....

And then, when her little sister keeps on trying to be nice, people bash on her. Like, why???

... more>>
Spoiler

Little Sis is literally the ONLY one in the novel actually trying to face her problems and communicate.... yes, her kindness is being used by their father to hurt the MC, but that's not her fault. People are mad at her for being ignorant but why the f*** would she even know???? is that even fair???

It's a lazy way for the author to do the "the villainess is actually tragic and heroes are the bad ones kinda trope.

Rather, instead, it should be her realizing that her sister does deserve her love and that she shouldn't hate her little sister just because her dad is a d***. And the little sister learning that every moment

Like, the MC is her father's daughter.... and the dad should be forced to face his own a**holeness.... and the sister should face the damage she caused, even by accident.

Hell, it'd actually be a much deeper story, one with the morals of how understanding is sometimes more important than kindness, and how sometimes, we can be the same kind of monster we fight if we aren't careful.

[collapse]

Hell, even if they planned on having the end where the dad and sister get "just deserts" and try to be all meta and "deep", it should be done with a much shorter story, because the message just blows up on itself and the artificial deepness shows how shallow it is.

The "good guy isn't a good guy" trope is a very complex trope and when done wrong, just backfires horribly and can be s*upid.

Most complaints I hear is "sister is so ignorant, she deserves to suffer" BS... like... wtf.... she's ignorant because nobody explains sh*t to her and then expect her to have magic powers to read the MC's mind????

Honestly, hero hating sometimes just feels lazy and uninspired.... and often times, not done well..... how long has it been since I read a good one I wonder.

Tl;DR The story drags too much and the hate the little sister gets for acting like a good person and being ignorant when nobody tells her anything kinda just drags this novel down by a lot....

But if you don't care about dragged out sh*t or lazy hero hating, then this is for you... <<less

Honestly, I don't blame Violette for how she turned out. It's a miracle that she didn't kill herself or anyone else. The more we learn about her family situation, the more sickening it becomes, and at some point, the story becomes downright uncomfortable outside of the sweet moments. But those sweet moments seemed terrific due to that sense of discomfort.

Her family is just shitty. Every member, without exception. Her mother was obsessive and vile and her father was cold and unloving. That led her to receive no love as their... more>> child and only that disgustingly twisted love from her mother. Her stepmother and half-sister aren't any better. No matter how innocent they are, did they seriously agree with this dude's suggestion to start living with him a day after his wife just died? The worst part is that they never even thought that maybe Violette would be mourning her mother. They're considering her to be a part of their "happy family" without actually considering her feelings. The half-sister is supposed to be sweet and innocent but I can only see her as being insensitive and forceful, which makes me hate her more.

The people that actually care for her, Yulin and Marin, feel like saints in this novel. It makes me happy to see that Violette has people that know what she's going through and will always be there for her. Having even one person that can understand you can make your life infinitely better and she has two. I sincerely pray that they can take her out of that hellhole named the Vahal house.

I'd prefer if it wasn't harem (Yulan all the way) but this is a Japanese novel so there's nothing that can be done about it.

I'm not caught up so I don't know if the story gets worse or better, but what I do know is that I want to peel off the top layer of Violette's father's skin and dip him into vinegar and watch him suffer. <<less
