I’ve Come Back After Being Reborn

My Thoughts on I’ve Come Back After Being Reborn

"I’ve Come Back After Being Reborn" is a surprisingly touching read, especially if you're looking for something a little different in the reincarnation genre. Instead of power fantasies and world-domination, this novel offers a more intimate look at healing after trauma. It's separated into two distinct stories, both following couples who find each other again after a devastating apocalypse. I found it to be a very quick and easy read, perfect for when you want something heartwarming.

First Impressions

Right from the start, I was struck by the novel's tone. It's definitely more melancholic than your average reincarnation story. The first few chapters set the stage well, hinting at the horrors of the past while focusing on the quiet present. I appreciated that it didn't dwell too much on the apocalypse itself, but rather on the emotional scars it left behind.

What Works Well

The strongest aspect of this novel is its focus on character relationships. The romance between the couples feels very genuine and healing. I particularly liked how the first story handled the gradual remembering of past events. Flashbacks are incorporated through dialogue, which I found to be an engaging way to reveal the characters' history. The author does a great job of portraying the pain, desperation, and loneliness experienced by the characters, and how they find solace in each other's presence. The slice-of-life aspect is also well done, offering a glimpse into their everyday lives as they navigate their trauma and rebuild their relationship. I found myself drawn to the characters, and was rooting for them every step of the way. Also, the cat is a definite plus!

Areas of Concern

While I enjoyed the overall story, I do feel like some parts could have been fleshed out more. I would have loved to see more interactions between the characters, especially in the first story, to really drive home the healing process and how their trust in each other grows. I also noticed that the second story ends rather abruptly, just as the characters are beginning to confront their past baggage.

Final Verdict

Overall, "I’ve Come Back After Being Reborn" is a worthwhile read if you're looking for a soft, warm, and emotionally resonant story. It's not about grand adventures or epic battles, but about the quiet strength it takes to heal and find love again after unimaginable loss. Despite some minor pacing issues, I found it to be a very touching and enjoyable experience. I would recommend this novel, especially if you're in the mood for something a little different from the usual reincarnation fare.
