In short, Rishe, the main character, is already "too perfect". She is incredibly smart, and therefore can outsmart literally anyone in the show, even those that are supposed to pose a challenge to her. On the one hand, she acts independently and goes out there and does her own things, but on the other hand, the moment Arnold (the male MC) is involved, she melts into a blushing mess.
I haven't found the romance to be particularly good. I don't really think there's much chemistry between the two leads. Rishe claims he wants to learn more about Arnold but he feels like a hollow shell of a character being a typical love interest in this genre.
Arnold's "cruelty" is never truly shown, and he doesn't really do much besides making Rishe blush.
In addition to that, the story isn't very interesting either. Drama comes and goes very quickly, and each conflict is obviously solved with Rishe's "big brain tactics". No one else matters, only her showing off her intelect. The problem is that it isn't very endearing or creative.
The plot of the show also focuses on Rishe's "past lives" as this is her 7th life, but none of the past lives has been too... interesting? She learnt a few things here and there which made her great at everything, but nothing really flashy. For example, of her past lives was her being a... maid. So she learnt how to pick locks.
The anime also doesn't let any big conflict or drama linger, which leaves every single conflict to start->Rishe uses her knowledge to solve it->bad character becomes good->More Rishe blushing by Arnold->Another conflict starts...
Just a side note, I also haven't found anything of note about the artistic side of the show: music, art, animation... Nothing really stood out.
In conclusion, I don't think it's a very interesting anime. It had a somewhat unique promise (for an already over-saturated otome genre) but did nothing to make it exceptional, which just made it a slog.
Pass. 4/10
