Iknow this is just a joke but there’s a really good book along this premise. You only get your memories back at 4 or 5 though. The book is called “The First 15 lives of Harry August”.

Wasn't the author of that really young when she wrote it?

I've recently procured The 7 and a Half Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle and have been wondering whether it's similarly themed. If not, at least it reminds me of NerdCubed.

I forget what point I was trying to make.

Happy to see a fellow NerdCubed fan in the wild.

There's also Jobless Reincarnation, which is the exact same pitch but he goes to a fantasy world instead of this one. As soon as he opens his eyes after birth, mom goes to nurse and he's like, "oh yeah I get to sit back and suck tiddies for a while!"

Edit: but not how tomiant below describes it 👀

OH THANK GOODNESS! Yes. Lets have that. With my mind as is now, I don't want to relive breast feeding.
