## My Thoughts on Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies "Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies" presents a chilling take on the apocalypse genre, quite literally. The premise is intriguing: a protagonist armed with foreknowledge and a magical space, ready to survive the impending freeze. However, diving into this novel is like stepping onto thin ice – some parts are solid, while others threaten to crack beneath your feet. ### First Impressions Initially, I was hooked by the fast-paced start. I appreciated that the story didn't dawdle in the pre-apocalyptic setup, jumping right into the action. The concept of hoarding vast amounts of supplies is appealing, tapping into a primal survival instinct. I was eager to see how the protagonist would navigate this frozen world. ### What Works Well The novel's strength lies in its unapologetic portrayal of a ruthless protagonist. He's not your typical hero; he's flawed, cunning, and driven by revenge. The author does a decent job of making the MC's actions understandable, if not always agreeable, given his past betrayal. Some readers find the "scummy neighbors suffer" dynamic engaging, offering a guilty pleasure as the protagonist thrives amidst chaos. The absolute defense and ability to store everything is an interesting premise that is based on the MC's obsession with staying alive. ### Areas of Concern However, this is where the ice gets thin. The protagonist's cruelty often veers into sadism, making him difficult to root for. His misogynistic views and treatment of women are particularly off-putting. The extreme focus on revenge sometimes overshadows the survival aspect, making the story feel unnecessarily dark and unpleasant. Some readers may find the protagonist's actions, such as burning a grandmother alive, gratuitous and difficult to reconcile. There also appear to be some concerning elements of racism and xenophobia that could be triggering or offensive. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning Several reviews mention specific instances of extreme cruelty, including the burning of an old woman, the use of a female doctor as a sex object, and the protagonist's discriminatory views against a mixed-race child. Reader discretion is advised. ### Final Verdict "Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies" is a novel with a compelling premise and a flawed execution. If you enjoy morally gray protagonists and don't mind graphic displays of cruelty, you might find it engaging. However, be prepared for potentially offensive content and a protagonist who is more villain than hero. Ultimately, it's a story that left me feeling more cold than satisfied.
