Time Loop & Broken MCs

Time Loop & Broken MCs
Time loop stories. Some of these can get pretty dark and deal with mental trauma, as well as questioning reality and whether a person is losing their sanity.

Many of these also have an element of mystery surrounding the time loop, and I do not want to say anything that might spoil them. So I am just giving my overall impressions.

Novels are in order starting with my favorite at number 1.

As always, I'm open to new novel suggestions to add.

Very well written and translated. I can not suggest this one enough. The characters are very well developed and go through a lot of mental anguish and tragedy. I find their interactions realistic and that makes me relate even more to them. The novel setting is also unique as its set in something like 18th or 19th century Spain (not something common in light novels).... more>>

Not as dark as some of the others, but still not I what I would consider a light read. The MC has gone through trauma and it has affected her, but she still seems mentally strong and determined. She is angry and hurt, but not broken by the previous lives.... more>>

I started this one awhile ago and quickly caught up the the translator and then decided I would save up more chapters before going back (which I have yet to do). I remember it being dark and emotionally draining. Definitely a tragedy. The writing could at times be very confusing. It might be a case where we have an unreliable narrator whose on the brink of going insane so that could be part of it.... more>>

This is a little too lighthearted for my taste. It started off with a good premise where the MC was actually killed by the ML in one of her previous lives. I was looking forward to her addressing that trauma. But it just kind of fades away.... more>>

I just started this one. The mc doesn't seem very smart so far... but its kind of funny.

      Thanks for the suggestion!

      I was thinking it would be a neat idea for an actual point and click adventure game. Where the whole point is you are stuck in an endless loop trying to find the "right" path to death. I dream of having some free time and making my own game like that.
