Description
At the young age of 27, I fell for a professor’s sweet talk, worked to death as an assistant, and died of overwork, only to be reincarnated. I thought God reincarnated me out of pity, but now I’m the only villainess in a novel? To avoid my fate, at 15, I boarded a carriage to a convent. …And then I got caught in a tornado out of a clear sky and died. This time, I possessed the body of an assistant who had been scammed into a job. f*ck…? Since I’m alive again, I might as well live well this time. …Just as I thought that, a war broke out. “Kiel, come here quickly! I have a surefire way for us to escape safely!” “Is that true, Professor Lemerun?” “It is! Don’t you trust me?” “No.” “……” Even bad relationships are still relationships. Though I believed in my wicked employer’s ‘surefire escape plan’… “Let’s hope for the 1% success rate of escape. As of today, our lifelong contract is over!! Congratulations!!” I got hit in the back of the head. I shouldn’t have trusted that experiment-crazy professor bastard. His invention with a 99% failure rate exploded. ‘Please, just stop…’ Contrary to my desperate wish, I opened my eyes once again. In my second life, where some unknown soul had wreaked havoc in my absence. In the body of Serena Lavernia, the only villainess in the world, now 26 years old. Damn it! This is too much. “I’m not joining any religion.” And that’s not all. Now there’s even a rabbit trying to scam me. ‘…Can I drag those professor bastards here and make them my s*aves?’ …Fine, what does it matter if I get scammed a bit? Even if I can’t join a religion, I must get my revenge. I’ve worked hard, so let me take it easy for once in my life!

My Thoughts on I Want To Live Life Effortlessly
First Impressions
The premise of "I Want To Live Life Effortlessly" immediately grabbed my attention. Who doesn't want a life free from the daily grind? A protagonist who's already lived multiple lives, now striving for a peaceful existence in her latest reincarnation? Sign me up! The initial concept felt relatable, especially the "I've had enough of my boss's nonsense" vibe that resonated deeply. I was hoping for a lighthearted and humorous take on the isekai genre.
What Works Well
The author certainly attempts to inject humor into the story, and I can see how it might appeal to readers looking for a less serious reincarnation tale. There's a certain charm in the idea of a character actively avoiding drama and complications, a stark contrast to the usual "villainess" narratives. The initial chapters are good.
Areas of Concern
However, as I delved deeper, I found myself increasingly frustrated. Selena, the MC, initially seemed promising, but her character development felt inconsistent. Her dramatic shifts in attitude, swinging from wanting to die to planning for a long life within chapters, felt jarring and unconvincing.
Many of the supporting characters felt like cardboard cutouts, adhering to tired clichés. The cold duke with a troubled past? Check. The loyal butlers? Present. The desperate-for-redemption family? Accounted for. They lacked depth and felt more like plot devices than actual characters.
The plot also treads a familiar path, following the well-worn tropes of the villainess story. The predictable trajectory of divorce, apologies, and a fresh start left me feeling like I was reading a carbon copy of countless other novels in the genre. And the "Mary Sue" nature of Selena, effortlessly solving every problem, reduced any sense of tension or stakes.
The writing style also presented some challenges. The narrative is bogged down by excessive info-dumping, with lengthy explanations that disrupt the flow of the story. The dialogue often felt unnatural and stilted, further hindering my immersion.

Final Verdict
While "I Want To Live Life Effortlessly" starts with an intriguing premise, it ultimately falls short due to inconsistent character development, predictable plotlines, and a writing style that struggles with pacing and dialogue. While it might appeal to readers new to the isekai genre or those seeking a light and fluffy read, I found myself wishing for a more nuanced and engaging experience. I'd recommend exploring other titles in the genre.
