Description
Nora, who had been sealed for 800 years for threatening to destroy the world, was very bored. One day, she heard the voice of a girl—Cecily—wishing to die, and was awaken. By that time, she’d grown feeble, and her body had shriveled. Thus, Nora proposed to Cecily. ‘—If that’s the case, would you lend me your body? In exchange, I promise that in a year, you’ll have a friend, a lover, a warm family, and promising future prospect for your perfect restart!’ The ‘Incorrigible Villainess,’ Nora, was resurrected in the body of the ‘Withered Grass Lady,’ Cecily. First and foremost, the young lady who had pushed Cecily down the stairs had to be punished. As a matter of course, Nora flatly refused all requests from Cecily’s older sister who’d been taking advantage of her for a long time. As for Cecily’s family, who had tormented her for not being able to use magic… she’d make them regret! Of course, she also had to enjoy her own school life. Classes, club activities, school festivals. She had to study and play to her heart’s content. ‘Let’s enjoy the youth that I’d yearned for during my final moments!’ This is the story of a young girl who was nicknamed ‘Withered Grass Lady’ as she takes the reins of her youth. …And also, the story of a girl touted as the ‘Incorrigible Villainess’ who conquers her fate from 800 years ago, and fulfills all her wishes while doing whatever she wants.

My Thoughts on The 800-Years-Old Villainess who Possessed a Low-Ranking Lady Peacefully Enjoyed her Youth
This title is quite the mouthful, isn't it? But don't let that scare you off. I dove into "The 800-Years-Old Villainess..." expecting a lighthearted, fun read, and for the most part, that's exactly what I got. It's a story about Nora, an ancient villainess, who takes over the body of a low-ranking noble lady named Cecily to enjoy her youth after being sealed away for centuries. The premise alone had me hooked!
First Impressions
The initial chapters were charming. The contrast between Nora's ancient, jaded perspective and the relatively mundane school life of Cecily created a lot of comedic moments. I was immediately invested in seeing how Nora would navigate this new world and the relationships she'd forge.
What Works Well
The characters are definitely a strong point. I especially enjoyed the dynamic between Nora and Cecily. It starts off rocky, with Nora seemingly using Cecily, but it evolves into something more complex and even heartwarming. The male leads, Eivind and Mark, are also well-developed and likable, each offering a different kind of romantic interest. I appreciated the revenge plot woven into the story and how Nora's feelings about it evolved over time. It added depth to what could have been a simple slice-of-life story.
Areas of Concern
While I enjoyed the overall story, I did feel that some aspects could have been fleshed out more. The world-building, in particular, felt a bit thin. I would have loved to see more exploration of the magic system and the history of the world. Also, some of the side characters, like Anita, felt underdeveloped. A few more chapters dedicated to their perspectives and backstories would have added a lot.

Despite its flaws, "The 800-Years-Old Villainess..." is an enjoyable read, especially if you're looking for something lighthearted with a touch of drama and romance. The characters are engaging, the plot is interesting, and the ending, while a bit convoluted, is ultimately satisfying. I'd recommend it if you're in the mood for a fun, casual read with a unique premise.
