My Thoughts on Era: Starting from Mountain Farming and Hunting
I dove into "Era: Starting from Mountain Farming and Hunting" with a mix of curiosity and trepidation. The synopsis promised a slice-of-life tale set in ancient China, a genre I usually enjoy. However, the mixed reviews had me wondering what I was getting into.
First Impressions
The premise is certainly intriguing: a second chance at life for a man who seemingly made some significant mistakes the first time around. The early chapters focus on his attempts to rebuild relationships and improve his family's lot through farming and hunting. It's a slow burn, which can be both a blessing and a curse depending on your preferences.
What Works Well
I found the family dynamics to be a strong point. The interactions felt realistic, with a healthy dose of skepticism from his family as he tries to prove he's changed. The romance, while not the central focus, is portrayed in a mature and understated way, which I appreciated. It's not overly dramatic or saccharine, but rather a gradual rekindling of affection and trust. I especially enjoyed the focus on the male lead taking responsibility and learning from his past errors. The world-building is also well done, painting a vivid picture of rural life in ancient China.
Areas of Concern
While the slice-of-life aspect is generally well-executed, I did find myself occasionally frustrated with the main character's internal monologues. His obsession with "get rich quick" schemes sometimes felt contradictory to his supposed growth and desire to be a better person. There were also moments where his actions felt a bit... tone-deaf, especially in his interactions with his wife.

Final Verdict
Overall, "Era: Starting from Mountain Farming and Hunting" is a mixed bag. It has moments of genuine warmth and insightful character development, particularly in its portrayal of family relationships and the challenges of rural life. However, the protagonist's flaws and occasional questionable behavior can be frustrating. If you're looking for a fast-paced, action-packed read, this probably isn't it. But if you enjoy slow-burn slice-of-life stories with a focus on family and personal growth, and are willing to overlook some character inconsistencies, you might find something to appreciate here. I'd give it a cautious recommendation, with the caveat that your enjoyment will likely depend on your tolerance for the protagonist's flaws.
