My Thoughts on The Slow Life I Always Wanted
The Slow Life I Always Wanted promised a cozy escape, and for the most part, it delivered. With its blend of fantasy, romance, and a dash of spice, it's a quick read that left me with a generally warm feeling.
First Impressions
Initially, I was drawn in by the "slow life" premise. Who doesn't dream of escaping to a simpler existence? The European-inspired setting and the promise of a cute protagonist hiding his true identity added to the appeal. I dove in expecting a fluffy, heartwarming story, and that's largely what I got.
What Works Well
The novel's greatest strength is its simplicity. It’s a short and sweet story that doesn't get bogged down in overly complex plots or drawn-out conflicts. The central romance is undeniably cute, with the male lead being quite handsome. I appreciated the lack of unnecessary misunderstandings, allowing the relationship to blossom naturally. There's also a surprising amount of ahem "spice" woven in, which definitely added an unexpected layer of enjoyment. The translation was also very easy to follow, which is always a huge plus. The ending, particularly the "final" chapter where Paradis reveals his inner thoughts, was a highlight for me. It provided a satisfying conclusion to their journey.
Areas of Concern
While I enjoyed the story, I do think there's room for improvement. The characters, while likable, could benefit from further development. I found myself wanting to know more about their personalities beyond their backstories. Some may also find the story a bit cliché, though I personally didn't mind it too much. However, the plot is very short which results in the plot having an interesting premise but lacking in the execution.

Final Verdict
Overall, The Slow Life I Always Wanted is a pleasant, quick read perfect for when you need a dose of fluff and romance. It’s not groundbreaking literature, but it doesn't aim to be. It's a heartwarming escape that delivers on its promise of a sweet and satisfying story. I'd recommend it if you're looking for something light, cute, and a little bit spicy to curl up with.
