After Rebirth I Became Spoiled

My Thoughts on After Rebirth I Became Spoiled

After Rebirth I Became Spoiled certainly presents a unique premise, and diving into it was an interesting experience. While it wasn't a complete home run for me, I can see why some readers found it enjoyable, while others... not so much.

First Impressions

The title pretty much spells it out: our protagonist, after experiencing hardship in a previous life, gets a second chance and becomes noticeably more… spoiled. The initial chapters introduce Su Meng's rebirth and her newfound "golden finger," which promises a fluffier, more carefree existence. This setup had potential, but the execution seems to be where opinions diverge significantly.

What Works Well

For those seeking a light and fluffy romance, this novel delivers. The relationship between Su Meng and the male lead is undeniably cute, with plenty of sweet moments to satisfy those craving a feel-good story. The lack of heavy drama and complex plotting was actually refreshing; it's a palate cleanser if you're tired of angsty revenge plots. I also appreciate that the author attempted something different with the rebirth trope, focusing less on external conflict and more on internal healing and personal growth, even if that growth is... unconventional.

Areas of Concern

However, I can't ignore the criticisms. The most common complaint revolves around Su Meng's character. Her sudden shift in personality, supposedly due to her "golden finger," felt jarring and inconsistent to many, including myself. Some found her naivete and "coquettish" behavior irritating, especially given her past life experiences. The plot also suffers from several holes and underdeveloped storylines. The reasons behind certain character actions, like the sister's animosity, remain vague, and potentially intriguing plot points, such as the ML's family history, are resolved far too quickly. The "golden finger" itself, while central to the premise, feels underutilized and its effects are often more annoying than beneficial.

Final Verdict

After Rebirth I Became Spoiled is a novel with a specific target audience. If you're looking for a fluffy, low-stakes romance and can overlook plot inconsistencies and a somewhat frustrating protagonist, you might find it enjoyable. However, if you prefer strong character development, intricate plots, and logical consistency, this novel might leave you disappointed. For me, it lands somewhere in the middle – a mildly entertaining but ultimately forgettable read.
