The Lady Needs a Break

Apr 15, 2021

The average and somewhat tedious tale of a would-be overpowered MC who manages to be boring despite having several lifetimes of experience allowing her to be a mary sue.  Let me clarify- she can play instruments well, she knows how to hussle and cheat at gambling, knows things about magic, high society, physical fighting, etc.  She has men coming from left and right- this makes her a Mary Sue.  What makes this story distinctly less desirable is the lack of interesting plot or storyline to carry it. 

I understand the title is 'The Lady Wants to Rest' but with the random chaotic neutral antics she gets up to for little to no reason, it doesn't quite feel like that's the main goal or anything.  Not like in some other mangas/manhwas I've read where the MC is actually very lazy or constantly resting, played up for comedy- in this one, I kept getting bored while reading. 

She's at a magic school, surrounded by deus ex machinas, doing whatever the author feels like having her do, and always winning in a contrived manner.  I'm not really a huge fan, I read 20 chapters of it before finally quitting.
