Do What You Want: If You're Reborn, Live Life Your Way

Well written, capturing the essence of that era. Those involved in organized crime acted like low-level thugs, disregarding consequences, unlike true gangster bosses. Gao Qiqiang, reborn, would never start as a thug; a visionary wouldn't engage in activities that leave a mess to clean up. Sometimes, what seems like a grand vision and daring gambles can actually be short-sighted and prone to getting mired in trouble.

Finally, it's not about getting rich through some advanced thinking 🤦 This novel is very realistic. In that era, no one who got rich didn't have a life on their hands. Either the underworld or the legitimate world could easily ruin you. The reality was even crazier than the novel.

It's much better than other rebirth novels. There's no cheesy simp-like regret-and-pity trope, and the commercial aspects are more in line with the era. It's a very enjoyable read.

It's a great read, though the beginning might be a bit simplistic. But it gets better as you read on, similar to my previous book, which also had that feel at the beginning but improved significantly later.

It's quite good. At least unlike other novels where it's all about romance, businesses can make money without any management, and the world is all white, this book has black, white, and gray elements. Making money isn't just about having ideas, and shares can't be given away casually.

This is very realistic. There were many organized crime groups before 2010. This is well-written; it captures human nature. Most organized crime groups started this way. It's much better than those who win the lottery at the start of the World Cup. Lottery centers in the past genuinely collaborated with thugs. If you had no connections, and you won a big prize, you'd be robbed as soon as you stepped outside.

A great book, I read it in one go. It has elements of "How a Villain is Made" and also reflects the style of Chen Hansheng. It stands out among other books in the same genre, so its rating is too low. As someone who's usually quite picky about books, I highly recommend this one. 👍

To be honest, who among us understands this kind of book? It's rare to find one like this on Tomato Bookstore these days. I've seen some people say it's wordy, but I think it's good. It's better than jumping around to "small goals" too quickly and then losing interest. A slow, steady pace is more engaging. Personally, I think the pacing is acceptable.

The writing is quite good, although there are a few minor details that don't need to be bothered by. After all, you're reading a novel, not a business plan. The only major flaw is that after the company succeeds, there's no mention of family arrangements. Everyone else has family, but he doesn't? That's the biggest plot hole; it doesn't explain this. Overall, it's quite good.

It's a great read, I finished it in one go. It's very realistic, or rather, very lifelike, almost like reality itself. I don't know about 2008, but I do know that when I was in junior high school in 2013 and 2014, I often heard people talking about how they were involved in gambling, violence, and other such things. This book's timeline is even earlier, yet it feels even more real.
