Reborn: Memories of the 1980s

The female lead is unlikable; she's schizophrenic, constantly shifting between wanting to leave for the college entrance exam and getting entangled with this person and that person. Also, the author should take a break; what you learn in high school is called "mathematics," not "advanced calculus"—that's what you learn in university. And, there weren't really any humanities or science comprehensive exams in the 1980s; the author should do their research.

After reading the synopsis, I'm thinking it must be based on the parallel universe theory. Otherwise, if it follows the time paradox, and the protagonist is reborn into their mother's body without following the old path, wouldn't they be eliminated due to the world shift and correction?

Why are all the people I meet so weird?

It's hard to see this as a rebirth story; there's no sense of resistance against fate. It always presents the character as a cold and selfish bystander.

Everyone, including the female lead, is selfish, which is understandable given the environment, and that's what the author intended to portray. However, it's frustrating that the fourth sister, who only cares about her own survival, is repeatedly helped. It feels like a fuss over nothing. This fourth sister, along with her son, is practically under the female lead's control, and the female lead even indulges her, acting as if she's there to clean up after the fourth sister.

While reading the novel, I thought it was great to have a male lead like Guan Qidong, who only loved the female lead and no one else—it seemed romantic and satisfied a woman's vanity. In real life, Rong Zhen is much more practical.

The author's writing skills are quite good. The same story, described by different people, can be written in a way that makes the reader feel completely immersed and incredibly engaged, while others leave the reader feeling utterly bored. Clearly, the author belongs to the former. The premise is a bit illogical, but it's genuinely quite enjoyable; I like this kind of writing.

I thought the male lead was either Guan Qidong or Rong Qi, but it turns out it's the older brother!!! Speechless...

Oppression without resistance? Reborn to suffer again? Rotten.

After watching half of it, I only had one feeling: it's basically a tragic story of the female protagonist's struggle.
