Description
Elysia von Serenze, the eldest daughter of a wealthy baronet family, lived a carefree life without any worries. She had one secret: she remembered her past life. After living a busy and difficult life and dying in an accident, her dream in this reincarnated life was to live comfortably without any effort, just playing and enjoying life until the end. She had no interest in marriage, especially not in mediocre men. At the “Spring Ball,” which she attended due to her parents’ insistence, she spotted Duke Cassius de Grendel. Watching the Duke stand like a statue, seemingly uninterested in anyone at the ball, Elysia found herself both puzzled and envious of his seemingly undisturbed life. After attending the ball, Elysia was relieved that no marriage proposals came her way. However, out of the blue, Duke Cassius, with whom she hadn’t even exchanged a glance, proposed marriage. Why would he, fourth in line to the throne and the kingdom’s top bachelor, be interested in her? If she became the Duchess of Grendel, a position everyone covets, what would happen to her dream of living comfortably? And this man, he’s more stoic and stone-like than she imagined! Elysia, who dreamed of a life free from troublesome matters, just playing and enjoying herself, wonders if she can live the easy life she desires.

My Thoughts on I Thought I’d Live Comfortably, But…
"I Thought I’d Live Comfortably, But…" promises a lighthearted reincarnation story with a lazy protagonist, a noble setting, and a dash of romance. While the premise intrigued me, my reading experience has been a bit of a mixed bag.
First Impressions
The initial chapters drew me in with the promise of a comedic, easy-going narrative. The idea of a reincarnated female lead trying to navigate a life of leisure in a European-inspired aristocratic world is inherently appealing. The tags – anti-social protagonist, love interest falls in love first – further fueled my interest.
What Works Well
The humor definitely shines through in certain moments. The premise of the female lead trying to live a comfortable life is funny and the supporting characters add to the comedy.
Areas of Concern
However, I did find some elements troubling. The male lead's actions and motivations are a major point of contention. His behaviors come across as unsettling, and the narrative's attempt to portray them as humorous or driven by past trauma doesn't entirely land. The potential power imbalance and the female lead being "trapped" by the male lead's actions raises concerns about the romantic dynamic.

Final Verdict
"I Thought I’d Live Comfortably, But…" has the potential to be an enjoyable read, particularly if you're looking for a lighthearted fantasy with comedic elements. However, the problematic portrayal of the male lead's character is a significant drawback. If you're sensitive to potentially stalker-ish behaviors or power imbalances in romantic relationships, proceed with caution. Whether or not the author can successfully redeem the male lead and address these concerns remains to be seen. As for me, I'm on the fence about continuing.
