Description

Saintess Hildebrand dreamed of a better world—so vividly, so desperately, that her dream consumed her. It became her reality, one she would manifest at any cost. She betrayed the trust of those close to her, and even waged war against mankind and the Hero who once fought by her side. But at the end of her restless dream, she found only regret, death, and darkness—a nightmare.

As she fell into an eternal slumber, Saintess Hildebrand closed her eyes and dreamed once more. She dreamt of a sweet and comfortable past, of things that could have been. And then she opened her eyes—it was no dream.

I really enjoyed the fresh twist on “rewind your life” stories—Hildebrand’s mix of snark and genuine regret makes her a fun lead to follow. The magic‑school scenes are especially entertaining (that wand‑melting trick in Chapter 3 had me laughing), and the slice‑of‑life bits balance the darker flashbacks nicely.
A couple of pacing blips in the middle—those lore dumps around chapters 15–20 felt a bit long—and the sudden swings from light banter to graphic violence can be jarring. Some side characters pop in with big reveals and then vanish, which left me wanting more depth there.
Overall, if you like character‑driven school fantasy with a side of second‑chance drama, this one’s definitely worth a look.
