The Lady Wants To Rest

Description

In the distant past, I was cursed by my dealings with the world.

Over the next 1,000 years, I lived an endless life.

There isn’t a single life I haven’t experienced.

I have been the most noble and humble person in the world, I have become a beggar, I have been revered as a saint, and I have been burned as a witch.

And after my most miserable and painful life, I thought of it all again.

‘It’s all bothering me now—I’d like to take a break, please.
I’ve decided to live a life of a lazy sloth this time, but why are people still bothering me? Let me get some rest.’

Her story of wanting to rest!

I read the first two chapters, so I can't say whether I like it or not but I find interesting the thought process the MC, after going through 53 lives poor, rich, weak, strong, saw many good, bad, and ugly things. Basically she's burnt out, and wants to rest for a long time, but her family won't let her live peacefully. Also on the website you only join the discord channel to get the password to unlock protected manwhas, there are a lot of free novels you can read. The... more>> reason why they are being more private about some protected projects is because ppl had been posting images of their work on Instagram and it caught the attention of the original authors who turned to legal actions to stop translations from the translator groups, which they did, no one wants to be sued, and people are angry at those s*upids instagramers because now we can't read them anymore, ?? So don't complain, and don't post the translator group's work without their consent. If you post them and we find their work on your page/tumblr/blog/IG, ohhh gurrl~ we'll report it to them instantly and they'll ban you from discord forever.

Edit: Idk how to change my rating so don't mind it. Go and read it if you like this kind of novels. <<less

What to say? It's a nice read to past time, but nothing exceptional.

Sincerely the story begin really well, we have a cursed protagonist that every times she dies she is reincarnated in another body. After 53 rounds and after being betrayed and killed in a war she find herself in the body of Rubia, tired of this endless circle of death and rebirth, she declared that this time she would only laze (a feasible thing since she now is the daughter of a duke).

Her carachter is nicely build, she got... more>> really bad experience in her past lives, still all this make her see life even more as a precious thing and make her deeply care for more or less all the humans she meets trying to see always the best side in everyone. Still this don't mean that she forgive all, she will always condemn evildoers that don't seek redemptions.

The world is well made and don't have any particular flaw, we will later known
Spoiler

that the continent the story take place is what remains of the real world after all the 5 continent were put togheder and put under a great barrier to avoid a miasma born from human dark feeling (don't ask why or what because it was never completely expained until now)

[collapse]

So why only 3 strars?

Well, to explain that i'll have to do some spoilers so if you domn't mind read at your risk.

The MC is too much a "Mary Sue": in her first life Rubia was Hostia, the greatest magic king (queen) and ruler of the world, to save the world from the great calamity 1000 years before the story, she offered her soul as sacrifice suffering eternally for the sins of the humanity to make a barrier to save all the humans from a miasma born from their own sins (more or less like Jesus did) and she can't tell anybody her situation (obviously...). Why this was the only solution to save everyone is not told, but is hinted that she will have to do the same sacrifice again to reinforce the barrier that is gradually weakening.

I really can't like the the male lead, the fouth prince or his relationship with the MC. His charachter is... superficial at best, he is someone that got all the abilities granted for pure luck, abilities that allowed him to claim the throne from his brother (the only one that treated him as a family when during his infancy he was treated like a rag for not being of noble origin) an ability that allow him to see the real nature of the poeple. Even when is big brother pratically beg for him to leave the dispute for throne, don't corner him any further and don't force him to became a "monster" to gain a power for finally overcame his fate and the difference in abilities between the two of them, the male lead didn't heard him because it is in his destiny is to save the world by becaming a king (but when he will kwon that for save the world again he will need to sacrifice Rubia another time he cleary stated that the world can go to ruin for the sake of his love...).

But above all I really liked the crown prince as character and don't understand why he was relegated as a second male lead. He got everything: a good soul that years of seeing everything stolen from him make him close to the dark (but still hold his light!) ; a trickster and a tactician excepional; a deep and complex charachter. He for first was attracted to Rubia, helper her when in need and courted her because he l**ked her spirit; the male lead was simply curious because with his special power was unable to see her true self. But in the second half of the story he is putted simpy like an antagonist whoso only scope is to make the romance between the male leed and Rubia go foward while he could do much more. He back down 3 times to save Rubia (in the treachery on the dukedom where he could gain a good ally and destroy a powerful enemy, during the rebellion arc and when he was on the verge of becaming one of the most powerful being in the whole world), 3 times that he could overpower his little brother and gain the throne, but didn't do it for the love of his life (... that sadly never looked at him) and averytime he go back to his steps his lil' bro would gain a huge advantage over him... and obviously became more intimate with the protagnist. <<less

I love this novel so much. I like how FL want to rest but there a lot of trouble that make her do a lot of work. She even ask her fiancee to steal things and he like "i didn't hone my skills to do something like this" and continue make a big mess even on her wedding😂well she like a badass but I like her🤎i also love how ML and cp care and love for FL sincerely. Cp even gave up his greed just to save FL when she... more>> nearly died while ML want to sacrified everything he has to remove the curse from FL even it mean to destroy the world that she protect. Cp was evil being cause he does everything it take just to gain power without care other people still I can't hate him. He is cruel but I pity him cause he deserve to be happy too afterall he is not evil to begin with he is such a kind brother to ML when they were kid but bcs what happen after the eye of the beholder appear on ml, the cp lose everything he had. It hard for someone who had been told that he gonna become emperor ever since he was kid. He need to take a lesson for that as soon as he can walk. It is too cruel for him so I really can't hate him. Our ML such a great person he say he didn't want to see FL suffer from pain again so he make an oath to himself that will do whatever it take to release her from the curse. He also cried so much when he saw FL stab by 99 knife srsly he such a great ML I cried so much when I read this scene😭 and after he married to our fl, he take care FL work so that she doesn't need do a lot of thing cause she treatened him with "sleep separately".😂 he was afraid that FL will be annoyed and run bcs of wedding celebration and gatherings so he did his best to reduce it somehow after she complain how tired she is and he manage reduce it with excuse that his wife don't want to waste money bcs there poor people who need it and this make our FL famous after that😂 <<less

Quite interesting. The FL can pretty much do anything but I don't find it boring. It's quite unfortunate I can only find the chapters up to 46 as I cannot find any raws for the story.

Edit... nvm I found tons of chapters now; will be reading more

As of chapter 110+... Wow, I absolutely love Rubia as a character. We are learning more and more about her previous lives and the history of this world. There are a few guys who are interested in Rubia right now but there's only 1... more>> real ship I'd say, and it's not a bad one at all. I am dying from curiousity right now, I really want to see how this will end. <<less

A really fun read. It's of the genre where the MC has a goal but winds up doing everything that prevents her from attaining that goal. Normally this is really annoying but this novel handles it exceptionally well, spinning dross into pure gold.

5 stars
Spoiler

1 It's not reincarnation as much as quick transmigration. She transfers into the body of someone who has just died

2. This time she's an illegitimate?? Princess very unclear here think her mother may have been a commoner and she is being raised by an evil Step Mom

3. She wants away because her family is screwed up

4. For her slacker life she considers various forms of prostitution

5. She decides to cut ties with her family and run off to school as scholarship student supporting herself and the maid she takes with her by being a musician

Maybe a little ahead of myself, but this sounds like another one from the genre of (I want X in life so let's do everything imaginable not to have X). On the restful scale
Princess >>> musician (pre phonograph) >>> poor scholarship student trying to support herself and her maidOh and keeping the royal title seems ever so much more relaxing as it allows you to slap down arrogant young misses and masters like the one mentioned here

You can find more chapters (its at like 264 chapters as of now) on huemi wordpress. The translations are really good

I liked this novel mostly. The FL is veryyy rational, to the point where it’s kind of unrealistic. Sort of mary sue I guess. It’s a very cliche with “I want a peaceful life but somehow it goes wrong with all these people getting in the way!” And obsessive ML’s. Its okay. It’s so stereotypical to the point where I’d normally not pay much attention to it, more like a... more>> side story I didn’t care too much about, but strangely I kept reading it and looking forward to the chapter releases. For most people, you would like it since its not like theres anything wrong with it... but I wouldnt rate it as amazing. I would say its cliche but there are small aspects that make it unique. But major stuff like apathetic MC who is lowkey OP and mary sue, cold ML with black hair, a maid who is loyal to the point of insanity, and above all, MC is reborn a ton of times... it has the major cliche plot points, so yeah.

4 stars for me (but it’s probably because it’s one of the first novels I read when I was first getting into this whole korean novel/manhwa world so Im biased). 3 stars for other people probably <<less

i wanted her to actually rest. She is basically a pushover. She gets herself into other people's business because she is too kind for her own good. She isnt a "lazy protagonist." NU might as well take out the tag. I was so annoyed. It's stressful and not good for pastime.

TLDR I really love this series and FL!

*May contain minor spoilers, but since other reviews mention the same things without the spoiler tag, I will just type normally mostly*

We all know that whatever FL does, she can't rest. Sometimes the plot is predictable but not to the point of boring.

The pace is just right in my opinion. For instance, FL realizes quickly if someone has a feeling for her (so, no dense FL with her reverse harem). FL takes some time to open her heart, which is reasonable cuz it's... more>> painful to live alone when someone she loved died. But she will accept ML feeling as soon as she feels that she loves him enough to endure such pain eternally (sad but beautiful at the same time).

FL does things in her own way. She is extremely good person but not as a heroine who forgive everything. Her goodness is the major force that drags her from her bed. For instance, she helps her family later cuz the original Rubia wants to, but she gives them a proper lesson. She don't hesitate to punish 'those beyond help' to death either.

Her relationship with ML is lovely. They acts lovey-dovey since arc 4 and they complements each other. While FL is willing to give her life for the world, ML is willing to abandon the world for her life (if there is no other choice). ML will try to let FL rest as much as possible, though sometimes I feel bad for him when FL asks for separated room bc she is tried 😂

The main villian in arc 1-3 also has character depth, which is interesting. While I don't like him, I can't hate him either, especially when he is
Spoiler

willing to give up all his work and the throne to save FL.

Conclusion: recommend. <<less

Well, it's start promising but.. I couldn't say I like this.

The story has a nice flow, and I came here because the manhwa it's my cup of tea, but after reaching this far and get to know how 'kind' the MC is, makes me annoyed, no I'm pissed

Especially how she deal with that garbage thot family. When I first reading the manhwa and see how b*tchy the OG Rubias Father, bro, step mom, and step sis is I hope she dump them to a sea of poop but no.

She save... more>> them..

I know it's OG Rubia's wishes but, please this is the story plot author make and I don't think ignoring child abuse here and end it with a happy ending is a no to me.

I don't get why child abuse in here end with all the abuser get their happy ending. It's ugly. Ew. Anyway I stop reading this, and never comeback again. <<less

The main character is too much of a saint. It's not impossible to write a good story where the MC suffers from a curse of immortality due to their own choice. The story of Planescape: Torment comes to mind immediately. The difference between the two is that the Nameless One was at fault - he did something that makes the Spheres suffer/head for destruction even now, after who knows how many lifetimes. Rubia's original incarnation, on the other hand,

... more>>
Spoiler

sacrificed herself instead of the people who were actually at fault. She's a messiah-type of character, and I really, really dislike that. She's a saint who bears the sins of humanity, she's the "noblest soul" who decides to curse herself with gruesome destiny to save the very people who pushed the world to the brink of collapse. She's a Mary Sue in the original, 19th century, meaning - forgiving, loving, and too good to exist in reality. To add insult to injury, it's never explained (from what I read in the novel and in the spoilers thread) why exactly would she decide to save the people at her own expense. It's just assumed that she had to do it. It's irritating, to say the least.

She's not trying to break her curse - there would be no need for the ML if she did, which is probably the only reason. At this point, she is just a masochist who likes to suffer. It's especially irritating because out of the three curses one is never seen in action (cannot feel deep emotions, apparently, like Ainz from Overlord - but her 50+ lives are shown to be full of deep emotions, which is what makes her suffer), the other is a cheat and a basis for her OPness (perfect memory of all the lives she led) and the third is also a superpower (she can erase anyone's memory of the last few minutes by just saying she's a reincarnator!).

[collapse]

If you can ignore the backstory, reading about her lazing around is kind of entertaining, but it gets repetitive fast. If you, like me, can't ignore the backstory or want the backstory to make any sense, you will be frustrated and disappointed, which is the basis of my 3 stars rating.

I wrote elsewhere that she resembles Sariel from "Kumo desu ga" - that one was similarly irritating, but there at least we had Shiro who expressed the frustration with the angel s*upidity directly. Sariel also was basically a buggy program with supernatural powers, so her... inflexibility, let's say, was somehow justified.

TL;DR: it was nice before the gradual revealing of the backstory started - she's way too forgiving, but the humor makes up for that. Unfortunately, the backstory is weak, and instead of adding depth to the character, it adds to my frustration with that character. It may still be a nice, light read, but the author was trying for something more, and unfortunately failed in that, ruining the read for me. <<less

At the 80 first chapter, it is still enjoyable but when it is getting closer to chapter 100 and so on... it is constantly pricking my nerve because of MC's "kindness" to people who had wronged original body's owner.

I know that she's already worn out due to her never ending-fate so revenge is out of her plan. It is just when she talked in her mind "that's cute" that was so damn annoying. Are you a saint or what?

... more>>
Spoiler

What's more annoying is when she tried to lift her father's curse. It's already my second time saying "I know that" she wants to grant the original body's owner's wish that she wanted to be loved by her family. While I can forgive her stepmother, I cannot forgive her father.

The reason why their family was messed up is her father's s*upidity. He thinks that ignoring all of his family and pretending to be blind is the only way to be fair. Hahahaha, at least he should act way more better to her stepmother and her stepsister so they couldn't know he only loves original owner and act more little with original owner so original owner knows her father loves her. I mean, the original owner is already dead! I said, DEAD.

Her father knew about situation in his own house but pretended to be blind and when MC wanted to get out he did not give his permission. Did he really think live while everyone acts as if she's a ghost in her own house is better than she's in hunger outside?

This is my first time wishing that her father just die and MC could live happily with her stepmother and her stepsister. It is just sad seeing her stepmother and her stepsister is not acknowledged while they tried their best.

[collapse]

Ugh, I'm so upset. Seeing how this novel can prick my nerve well, the author really did good job.

Let her father die! <<less

This story is so interesting! Differently one of my favorite Korean novels. The female lead is such a badass and of course there are love rivals. So far I only like ML because he’s the only one that I think is most worthy for are FL [one of the few people who understands FL and roughly knows what she has went through]. I genuinely hope this will get a manhwa adaptation in the future.

Actually, I really love the first chapters in this until I realizes that the story itself about the development of the FL only ~ it seems annoying when she keep distancing herself from the ML coz of her cursing of being able to not erasing her past life memories. It really annoy me to the point where the lovr story only stuck in the same cycle.
