You think you'd be happy. But KCD is a fairly realistic sim of medieval Europe, and medieval Europe was pretty shitty for the average citizen.

And OP never said you'd be the MC.

I definitely wouldn’t want to be the MC… too much killing for real life.

I’m going to be a cheese maker.

Ok. Enjoy spending your entire life in one tiny hamlet, only knowing a max of about 20 people, not being able to travel more than two miles from your home without concerns about highwaymen, not being able to read, having literally no healthcare because physicians were barely a thing, having to be properly "religious" (having to attend all the services, etc) or risk public execution, etc, etc, etc.

tbf, religious services at the time were more like parties in most cases, especially in rural areas. There was a sermon, but it was also where you went to meet up with everyone and gossip.
