Looking for Rich-Protagonist Stories: No Dumbed-Down Characters, Lavish Spending, No Keeping a Low Profile, and Ideally Real-Life Figures
I want a story where the protagonist gets rich from the start, with little showing off or face-slapping. Keep it somewhat realistic, with all kinds of extravagant spending, and have them gradually enter elite circles. It’d be great if real people appeared in the story, too, to make it easier to immerse myself.

The storyline is engaging and never gets boring. The ideas are fresh, and the characters are vividly portrayed. Highly recommended. I initially added it to my bookshelf as a way to pass the time, but as I read on, I realized it's truly worth reading.
So far, it's incredibly exciting and engaging; I can't wait to keep watching whenever I have free time. It's very well-written and immersive. It's fantastic! I hope the rest of the story stays this exciting. Please, don't let it have a bad ending! Keep up the good work, author!
This is a very good novel. The author's writing style is witty and humorous, with excellent word choice and sentence structure. The plot is also very good, without any unnecessary rambling. The characters are vivid, and both the main and supporting characters are outstanding.
This book showed me that every character is three-dimensional and has a well-developed personality. The logic is reasonable and unexpected (at least for me), and the author has a very clear mind.
Although the plot has a minor flaw, I must admit it's a great book. I wanted more. This book is definitely one of Tomato's masterpieces; of all the books I've read in over 2000 hours so far, this is one of the best.
The writing is excellent! It's captivating and easy to read! Each short story is meaningful, resonating with real-life people and events, and offering inspiration! It provides insights into real-life dilemmas, and reading it broadens my perspective! Thank you so much!
This is a very good novel. The author's writing style is witty and humorous, with excellent word choice and sentence structure. The plot is also very good, without any unnecessary rambling. The characters are vivid, and both the main and supporting characters are outstanding.
The content is good, and the characters are well-developed. I haven't seen such a good novel on Tomato Bookstore in a long time. It made me, someone who only reads a little bit of each novel, interested in continuing to read it. I highly recommend it.
The plot is quite tight, and the foreshadowing the author planted is all resolved later, without leaving anything abrupt. Furthermore, the characters are all very distinct, and their personalities change subtly as the plot unfolds, maintaining a coherent logic. A good book indeed.
With its eloquent writing and vivid language, the book is a great read. Whether it's the main characters, supporting characters, or even passersby, they are all well-developed. Their open-mindedness and optimism in the face of life's insights resonate strongly with readers.
