My Thoughts on Back to Three Years Ago Before Catastrophe
"Back to Three Years Ago Before Catastrophe" presented a mixed bag for me. While the premise of a rebirth before an apocalypse is always intriguing, the execution left me with some reservations, despite a few compelling aspects.
First Impressions
Jumping into the story, I initially felt a bit disoriented. The opening didn't immediately ground me in the protagonist's circumstances or explain the mechanics of his rebirth. I was dropped into the narrative with the MC already possessing knowledge of hidden resources, which felt a little jarring and disconnected from his supposed background. This lack of initial clarity made it harder to connect with the character early on.
What Works Well
Despite the initial confusion, the novel does find its footing. I appreciated the focus on family and the protagonist's determination to protect them. The slow-burn, slice-of-life approach to survival was surprisingly comforting. The world-building, though limited to the MC's village and its surroundings, created a cozy and immersive atmosphere. The sense of community and the gradual rebuilding of society offered a hopeful counterpoint to the bleak apocalyptic setting. The magical space element, aided by the soldier cousin (who becomes the male lead), was a helpful tool for gathering resources and contributed to the MC's ability to provide for his family.
Areas of Concern
My main concern lies in the pacing and the handling of certain relationships. The initial lack of explanation for the MC's knowledge and actions created a disconnect, which was a bit difficult to overcome. Furthermore, the romantic relationship between the MC and his cousin, while not explicitly blood-related, raised some eyebrows for me, given their upbringing as brothers. While the romance isn't the primary focus, it still occupies a significant portion of the narrative and might be uncomfortable for some readers.

Final Verdict
"Back to Three Years Ago Before Catastrophe" has its charms, particularly in its depiction of familial love, community, and the slow, hopeful rebuilding of society after an apocalypse. However, the initial lack of clarity, slower pacing, and potentially uncomfortable romantic relationship might not appeal to all readers. If you're looking for a cozy, slice-of-life apocalypse story with a strong emphasis on family and don't mind the potentially controversial relationship dynamic, this might be worth a try. Otherwise, proceed with caution.
