My Thoughts on Return To 1990
"Return To 1990" presents an intriguing premise: a protagonist transmigrating back to a pivotal era. As a fan of both business-oriented stories and transmigration narratives, I was eager to dive in. While the novel has its charms, it also presents some stumbling blocks that, for me, kept it from achieving its full potential.
First Impressions
The initial chapters immediately grabbed my attention. The 90s setting is ripe with opportunities for a character armed with future knowledge to make a splash. I found myself invested in seeing how the protagonist would navigate the challenges and opportunities of this era.
What Works Well
The core concept of leveraging future knowledge in a developing market is compelling. There's a certain satisfaction in watching the protagonist make savvy business decisions and capitalize on emerging trends. The family aspect, particularly the interactions with adopted children, adds a layer of warmth and emotional depth that I appreciated. I also found the translation to be serviceable, which is always a plus when diving into translated works.
Areas of Concern
However, I did find myself struggling with some aspects of the story. The characterization, particularly that of the protagonist's wife, felt inconsistent at times. Her constant doubts and resistance, even after the protagonist's success, became repetitive and frustrating. This lack of character development hindered my enjoyment of the romantic subplot. The romance felt forced and lacking in genuine connection, relying more on external actions than on internal growth and understanding.
The business aspects, while present, sometimes felt more like plot devices than well-developed strategies. I yearned for more depth and complexity in the business dealings, rather than simply relying on the protagonist's future knowledge as a shortcut to success.

Final Verdict
"Return To 1990" has a lot of potential, and I can see why some readers are enjoying it. The premise is engaging, and the family dynamics offer a heartwarming element. However, the inconsistent characterization, forced romance, and somewhat shallow business aspects kept me from fully investing in the story. It's a decent read, but with some refinement, it could be so much better.
