Apocalypse and survival are in the background, an easy life in the apocalypse being the protagonists of the story, but rich background characters in the overall world.This is basically if rich people are given the chance to go back in time, and basically it goes about as you'd expect. I thought I'd give it a chance since I enjoyed "The Reborn Otaku's Code of Practice for the Apocalypse", but it's pretty stark difference just based on how much money the MC/ML have at the start. You basically stop relating to the protagonists as soon as they start shoveling food, supplies, millions of dollars in oil, machinery into their magical space.Speaking of space, I really disliked how the storage space just conveniently materialized as soon as they went 'ah, it'd be so nice to have a space storage space like the novels' and a few chapters later, bam! That basically took down any sort of difficulty the two would have, lol. Translator said that it'll be touched on near the end, but it's a pity I have to wait for translation pace to binge it to see, or face the dreaded MTL.Romance-wise, it's a bit tame rather than passionate but it's there. As someone who no longer really enjoys romance for romance's sake and needs plot, friendship (or more spice like enemies to lovers), and chemistry to even want to read it, there was no build-up at all. They're just in love, and the apocalypse-prep is just filled with lovey-dovey low-anxiety preparation like they're preparing for their honeymoon. 9_9 I feel like it'd be a more engaging read if they went from friends to romantic partners, but it could be to someone else's taste if they just want the romance out of the gate.Anyway, since it's 1100+ chapters, I will have to put it down since I prefer to read everything in one go, especially since I find it lukewarm right now.
