Anime Like Kyouran Reijou Nia Liston
A hero spent her entire life chasing a death worthy of her strength, then got a second chance in the body of a dying child. The resentment of that trade-off is the actual story here, not the power fantasy of getting stronger, but the rage of being forced to survive when survival feels like defeat. Nia's frail body becomes the opponent the legendary warrior never expected to face, and it's the one she can't simply overpower into submission.
SYNOPSIS
An undefeated warrior dies unfulfilled, yearning for one final opponent worthy of her strength. Instead of oblivion, she awakens as Nia Liston, a frail noblewoman cursed by a weak constitution that barely lets her leave her bed. The gods have given her a cruel second chance: a powerful soul trapped in a broken body. Refusing to accept another mundane death, Nia begins her desperate reconstruction. She pushes her fragile frame to its limits, reclaiming the combat prowess that once made her legendary. Every step away from her sickbed becomes a victory. Every moment of strength recovered fuels her burning obsession to find worthy opposition once more. What emerges is a woman caught between two identities: the delicate noblewoman society expects and the bloodthirsty warrior clawing her way back to power. As rumors of her impossible feats spread across the kingdom, enemies and allies alike wonder if she's hero or monster. Nia doesn't particularly care which. She only knows she won't waste this life running from battle again.
