The protagonist lives alone but remains optimistic and positive. He makes good friends and finds love, and he doesn't tolerate those self-important young ladies and gentlemen. It's a book worth reading.
So far, the plot isn't too outrageous and is acceptable. I hope the later content will be exciting but not so far-fetched as to go out of space. Keep it up!
It's not bad, it's just that I got a girlfriend a bit too early.
So far, I think it's pretty good. Keep it up!
That's good, but I can't tell which year it's from 😅
It's quite good. The protagonist is rather pragmatic! He doesn't have any exaggerated abilities, nor does he have the school beauty chasing after him right from the start. It's nice, simple and uneventful, with things developing gradually.
Adding a touch of fantasy to a realistic backdrop is quite interesting.
I read all the updates in one go, which was great. I've read a lot of fishing novels, and personally, I feel this one is second only to "Little Crayfish." The female lead's appearance is a bit abrupt and exaggerated, and the male lead leads too many people to lose money, including himself, who loses money every time. I definitely wouldn't dare to do that, nor would I want to.
This is a very good book. The content is excellent, the author's writing style is smooth, the plot is clear, and the urban style is very relaxing and comfortable. Looking forward to more updates from the author. Thank you. Keep it up, you're the best!
Dear readers, I apologize, but I am unable to finish writing this novel. After all, this is just an experimental novel; my purpose in writing it was simply to test my ability to handle a story with a vast world (and it turns out I'm still too inexperienced).
