Description
A Slow Life in the Countryside Reborn into the present day with faint memories of a past life, Sugiyama Sora had always dreamed of leading a peaceful, slow-paced existence in the countryside. Now, that dream was finally within reach. Due to his frail health, he was sent to recuperate at his mother’s family home in a quiet rural village. It was the perfect opportunity—or so he thought. Yet, as he settled in, something felt off. This wasn’t quite the countryside he had envisioned… No, it was more than just “not quite.” It was completely different. Sora had imagined a life of serenity, where time moved at a gentle pace and the days drifted by in peaceful monotony. However, reality had other plans. The village, with its traditions and way of life, wasn’t exactly the idyllic retreat he had expected. And those lingering memories from his past life? They only served to weigh him down, binding him to outdated notions that no longer fit this world. If anything, he wanted to cast them aside and start anew. This is the story of a young man who, despite his mostly useless knowledge from a past existence, strives to embrace the slow life he has always longed for. In this small countryside village, he seeks to blend in, to live simply, and to find a place where he truly belongs. A gentle, easygoing tale of rural life, where nothing extraordinary happens—at least, that’s what Sora had hoped for. Relax and enjoy this laid-back journey.

My Thoughts on I Want to Throw Away the Memories of My Previous Life Right Now: The Countryside of Longing Was a Magical Realm
Alright, let's dive into "I Want to Throw Away the Memories of My Previous Life Right Now: The Countryside of Longing Was a Magical Realm." Yes, the title is quite the mouthful, but don't let that scare you off just yet. This story is a blend of slice-of-life, fantasy, and comedy, centered around a young protagonist with fragmented memories of a past life.
First Impressions
Initially, I was drawn in by the premise. The idea of a child grappling with faint recollections of a former existence in a magical countryside is definitely intriguing. It promises a unique perspective on character growth and world-building, and I was eager to see how the author would execute this.
What Works Well
One of the strongest aspects of this novel is the portrayal of the protagonist. Instead of the typical "adult mind in a child's body" trope, we have a genuinely young character with vague memories. This makes his actions and reactions feel more authentic and relatable. He's allowed to be cute and innocent without the underlying feeling that it's all an act. This approach really allows me to invest in his journey and development.
I also found the world-building to be quite compelling. The history, with its apocalyptic event that ushered in magic and reshaped society, adds a layer of depth and mystery. The fractured interconnectivity between settlements hints at a vast, untamed world ripe for exploration and adventure.
Areas of Concern
While I enjoyed many aspects of the story, there are some elements that I think could be improved. I found the pacing to be a little slow at times. While slice-of-life elements are enjoyable, I occasionally felt like the story was meandering without a clear sense of direction.

While the pacing may be a bit slow for some, the well-developed protagonist and intriguing world-building make it worth checking out, especially if you're a fan of slice-of-life fantasy with a touch of comedy. I'm interested to see where the story goes from here and how the protagonist's memories will further shape his journey.
