The Former Saintess Heroine Who Keeps Getting Served: Fleeing the Story’s Compulsion for a Slow Life!

“Wait, did I mess up again?”
You know those trendy stories where villainess gets her happily-ever-after? Well, I’m the girl who always gets ‘served’ (you know, completely humiliated and put in her place). In this new wave of fiction, villainess is clearly the real heroine, which makes the original heroine the actual antagonist, doesn’t it?
I was reborn as that heroine—the one the villainess gets to triumph over. And this wasn’t a one-off. It’s not quite like a villainess’s ‘death loop’ where she repeats the same life; instead, I’ve been through a chaotic reincarnation cycle, thrown into different tales over and over again, always as the unfortunate heroine.
When it first started, I was ecstatic! Reborn as an Otome game heroine, a shojo manga protagonist, or the lead of a female-oriented light novel! “Yes! This is absolutely amazing!” I thought.
My roles included:
-The adopted daughter of a Baron who enters the academy and finds herself at the centre of a reverse-harem situation.
-The Saintess who suddenly appears from an obscure village and becomes a candidate for Crown Princess.
-The frail younger sister-in-law who is courted by her sister’s fiancé.
-And, oh yes, the main love interest of the man who dramatically declares, “I will never love you.”
I’ve played the leading lady in all sorts of story patterns!
But honestly, after all those lifetimes playing the perfect heroine, I’m completely burnt out.
Now known as Alice, the perpetually-humiliated heroine, she makes a break for a new continent, determined to escape the story’s compulsion. But can she truly manage to achieve the slow life she desperately craves?
