Any Novels About a Low-Key, Down-to-Earth Billionaire?
Looking for books similar to "The Frugal Tycoon: The Top Female Donor of a Male Streamer". I want something more realistic and relatable. Stories where people casually spend tens or hundreds of millions are impossible to relate to, so they just aren't satisfying. It's way too exaggerated.

The content was excellent and very inspiring, but it lacked something.
Although it leans a bit towards a male-oriented genre, it's fine as long as the male lead doesn't just blindly flirt with girls. The current plot is also quite exciting, with a feel of a cultivation novel, and the setting is relatively novel. It feels like it's about to get really exciting, and my anticipation is off the charts.
It's a good read. The early episodes, where the protagonist's efforts in both his past and present lives progress quickly without any major ups and downs, are surprisingly calm and engaging, making it hard to put down. I hope for more updates soon!
It's so smooth. When the instinct for survival becomes the driving force, whether it's reading or anything else, it's an obstacle that must be overcome. I'll definitely keep reading, keep it up!
This is quite a novel theme. The protagonist's past life was certainly impressive; mastering the Four Books and Five Classics is no easy feat. He's really something! Those who enjoy this type of story should check it out…
An innovative imperial examination novel with a fast-paced plot; worth reading.
The novel is excellent; it's one of the most novel genres I've read in years. It's rare to find a novel that truly stands out. I had been reading other books before switching to this one a few months ago, and in my opinion, it's no less impressive than those wildly popular novels.
It's definitely a good watch, and the protagonist is quite easygoing. His character is characterized by quiet observation, steady effort, and unwavering ambition. His gifts are never offensive; they're always reciprocated, acts of kindness, and gratitude. However, there is one flaw: his friend from the elementary school. They were already together, but his friend was always meddling.
The novel combination of ancient and fantasy elements is quite good. What's particularly appealing is the smooth progression of the imperial examination system, which engages the reader emotionally and provides a satisfying experience. Highly recommended.
The subject matter is novel, offering a different sensory experience. However, there are still quite a few shortcomings. Since the motivation for studying is the eerie atmosphere, the descriptions of the eerie aspects feel somewhat lacking, and the internal strife among humans is relatively weak... Keep up the good work!
