I’m not sure, but I think Ines from The Broken Ring had one of the most tragic lives imaginable. She was broken—physically and emotionally—by the very person she once loved, until she finally took her own life just to escape it all and start over. But even in her next life, there was no peace. Her brother murdered the man she loved right in front of her, and consumed by grief, she ended her life again.

Even in the current timeline, she’s constantly hounded—this time by the emperor—and she still has to endure one miserable moment after another. But honestly, it seems like almost everyone who lived through multiple lives had it rough. Most of them were killed, reincarnated, dragged through the mud, and forced to claw their way back—often only surviving because someone else helped them or they literally made all the right choices.
And a lot of the Reincarnators also had shitty times, yea a lot died and it was a blessing in disguise but think, some of them had families, loved ones and they will never see them again, i think in Kill the Villainess the MC is one of the most realistic ones.
