My Thoughts on Bee in a Ruined World
"Bee in a Ruined World" is definitely a unique entry in the post-apocalyptic genre, blending the grim reality of societal collapse with the surprisingly charming world of beekeeping. I went in expecting something dark and gritty, but what I found was a strangely comforting slice-of-life story with a protagonist who's more interested in honey production than saving humanity.
First Impressions
Initially, the premise felt a little bizarre. An apocalypse where everyone gains video game-like abilities, and our MC gets stuck with a beekeeping class? It sounded like a recipe for either disaster or unexpected brilliance. Thankfully, it leans heavily towards the latter. The early chapters are dedicated to world-building, skill descriptions, and lots of details about bees. It's a slow burn, but the unique premise kept me hooked.
What Works Well
What I found most refreshing was the protagonist. He's not your typical altruistic hero. He's pragmatic, clever, and primarily concerned with the well-being of his bees. He's willing to help others, but he's not afraid to profit from the situation or prioritize his own survival. This realism makes him relatable, and his "bee-first" attitude is consistently amusing. The crafting system is also well-developed, and it's satisfying to see the MC use his beekeeping skills to create powerful items and navigate the dangerous world. It's a fun twist on the usual power fantasy. The pacing is also well done, with a gradual progression of the MC's abilities, the development of his area, and the unfolding stages of the apocalypse.
Areas of Concern
While I enjoyed the novel, I can see how some readers might find the lack of detailed action sequences disappointing. The focus is definitely more on the slice-of-life aspects and the MC's internal world, rather than epic battles. Also, some readers might find the MC a little too detached from the plight of humanity. While his pragmatism is refreshing, it can sometimes border on apathy. Finally, while minor, there are some odd comments made about male virility that feel out of place.
Final Verdict
Overall, "Bee in a Ruined World" is a surprisingly enjoyable read. It's a unique blend of post-apocalyptic survival and slice-of-life, with a pragmatic protagonist and a fascinating focus on beekeeping. If you're looking for something different from the typical action-packed apocalypse story, this might be the novel for you. Just be prepared for a lot of bee-related content!
