My Thoughts on Reborn in the 1980s: Old Madam Abandons her Ungrateful Children and Husband
This web novel, "Reborn in the 1980s: Old Madam Abandons her Ungrateful Children and Husband," definitely offers a unique premise. It's not every day you stumble across a story where the main character is a middle-aged woman getting a second chance at life. The setup grabbed my attention immediately, and while it wasn't a perfect read, it had enough going for it to keep me somewhat invested.
First Impressions
Initially, I was intrigued by the idea of a woman who, in her past life, seemed to perpetuate harmful cycles of behavior getting a chance to rewrite her story. The fact that she's not a young, naive protagonist adds a layer of complexity. I dove in hoping for some serious character growth and a nuanced exploration of familial relationships.
What Works Well
The most compelling aspect for me was the MC's journey of self-discovery and empowerment. There's a certain satisfaction in seeing her shed the shackles of her past and forge a new path. I also enjoyed the slice-of-life elements, particularly the focus on her cooking skills and the gradual rebuilding of her relationships, especially with her daughter and godson. The "face-slapping" moments, where she confronts those who wronged her, provided some satisfying catharsis, even if they were a bit predictable. Also, I thought that the MC was pretty bold and never became weak to serve the plot.
Areas of Concern
However, I can see why some readers might struggle with the MC's past actions. It's true, she wasn't exactly a saint in her previous life, and her misogynistic tendencies could be off-putting. While I appreciate the idea that people can change, it's understandable that some might find it difficult to root for her. Also, there's a sense that the story lacks a clear end goal. It feels more like a series of loosely connected events, which can make it feel a bit aimless at times. Finally, the villains are easily defeated and not very memorable.
Final Verdict
"Reborn in the 1980s: Old Madam Abandons her Ungrateful Children and Husband" is a decent read if you're looking for something to pass the time. It's not groundbreaking, but it offers a refreshing take on the rebirth trope with a flawed but ultimately compelling protagonist. Just be prepared for a somewhat repetitive plot and villains that pose little to no real threat. I'd give it a solid 3 out of 5 stars.
