Alek, 39 years old, suddenly dismissed from being a hero. However, an encounter with a s*ave woman brings him about the happiest post-retirement life! “Oh Hero Alek, thank you for all the hard work you have done. Go resign from being a hero and have a rest.” Alek was at a loss when he was suddenly dismissed from being a hero after 30 years of service in the kingdom. As he thought of a plan, wondering what to do, “That’s right! Let’s get a s*ave with common sense that I don’t have!” was what came up in his mind. And then the one he encountered was a modest yet beautiful nun Lilicia. Having gotten the kind-hearted Lilicia as well as learned love, Alek decides to live a happy life as an adventurer from now on for her sake. Meanwhile, a new team of heroes has been organized in the kingdom that exiled Alek, but they have been unable to successfully carry out a simple subjugation and were bringing about confusions… This is an adventure tale of a new life of an exiled, former hero who has become free and found love!

My Thoughts on Exiled Hero’s Leisure Life (Slow Life) – I Also Got My Very Own Dearest Angel After Getting Free!
"Exiled Hero’s Leisure Life"… the title promises a relaxing escape, a gentle stroll through a fantasy world. But does it deliver? After diving in, I'm left with mixed feelings. It has potential, but some aspects definitely need a little more… seasoning.
First Impressions
The premise is familiar: Hero gets the boot and seeks a peaceful life. It's a well-trodden path in the isekai genre, and while familiarity isn't inherently bad, it does set a high bar for execution. The initial chapters introduce us to our protagonist and the circumstances of his exile, setting the stage for his supposedly slow-paced adventure.
What Works Well
The core concept of a hero seeking a quiet life after being betrayed is appealing. I can see the draw in wanting to watch someone build a new life, free from the burdens of saving the world. There's also an attempt, however fleeting, to build a relationship between the MC and his "dearest angel." It appears that the author put some effort into revealing a good relationship inside the series.
Areas of Concern
The biggest issue I encountered is the pacing. The title screams "slow life," but the plot seems to barrel forward at breakneck speed. The protagonist quickly acquires a companion, deals with significant events, and somehow the "slow life" feels more like a "slightly-faster-than-average life." The romance also feels rushed, bordering on fanservice. It's hard to invest in a relationship that develops so quickly, and it undermines the potential for genuine emotional connection. The story is also pretty cliche, so some might find it too boring.

Final Verdict
"Exiled Hero’s Leisure Life" has the potential to be a relaxing and enjoyable read. However, the rushed pacing, shallow romance, and questionable content choices hold it back. If you're looking for a truly slow-life story with depth and meaningful relationships, this might not be it. But, if you're willing to overlook these shortcomings and enjoy a fast-paced, somewhat generic isekai adventure, you might find something to enjoy here. I'm hoping future volumes will address these issues and deliver on the promise of a genuinely relaxing and fulfilling story.
