The Villain’s Reincarnation – Tired of Working Hard, I’m Slacking Off! The Peacefully Oblivious Slacker Avoids Ruin!

“Who Called Him a Peacefully Oblivious Slacker?! That’s a True Monster!!”

In my previous life, I had no talent. I was mocked, abandoned, and spent my days in a living hell.

Yet, back then, I still dreamed of rising above it all through sheer effort.

I worked relentlessly toward my dream, and I did make it to the top. But what awaited me there wasn’t the world I had envisioned—only burdens, responsibilities, and exhausting human relationships.

Eventually, I grew tired of striving. And just when I reached my limit… I found myself reincarnated in another world.

I had been reborn as the villain from a manga I once read in my past life. The usual type: blessed with talent and good looks but arrogant, constantly provoking the protagonist, only to be ruined—reduced to nothing more than a stepping stone.

At this rate, I was doomed to destruction.

So, I made a choice.

I would slack off with everything I had.

I was done with effort. Even if I climbed to the top again, it would just be more trouble. So, I chose to do nothing.

Once a reckless tyrant, I had now transformed into a harmless, peace-loving slacker!

The head of the family?

Surely, that charismatic protagonist wouldn’t care if a minor villain like me disappeared from the story.

And so, I quietly amassed my savings, preparing for my dream life of peaceful retirement!

The plan was flawless. Or so I thought.

“Huh? Retirement is out of the question? There’s no successor but me? Even my younger brother agrees??”

“Wait, an engagement? Not annulment, but an actual engagement?? Why does the atmosphere feel so ominous?”

“Hold on, this dangerous character wasn’t in the original story! And now I’m being forcibly enrolled in the academy as a deterrent???”

“Wait… was the protagonist always this terrifying???”

“Why are the original characters acting so differently?!”

“And why does it feel like some ancient menace just got revived?!”

My perfect escape plan crumbled before my eyes, and now—if I ever want to slack off again—I’ll have to fight for it with everything I’ve got!
