    Reader note

    You can give it a try (because the tags don't quite fit, so read the description carefully before reading). It's mainly about superpowered combat, not much romance, an ensemble piece, superpowered competitions + national tournaments + international leagues + organized battles + imperial wars. It's hard to categorize it as male or female, or whether there's a romantic pairing, so just take a look, since the current readership includes both sides.

    Reborn, the puppet girl sheds her cowardice. Hethies Dilott remembers her death sentence in her previous life, the cold stares and scheming of everyone in the Duke's mansion. In the damp prison cell, a servant deliberately humiliates her with spoiled porridge, but she sneers in retaliation. Submissiveness won't earn her pity; only madness can deter evildoers. The countless wounds of her past life will be returned to their perpetrators in this one!
