I Love the “Losing Money to Become a Tycoon” Premise! Looking for Similar Novels
Looking for books similar to *Everyone at the Company Is a Sneaky Bastard, but I Just Want to Lose Money (City of Illusory Dreams)*. I love the whole “get rich by going broke” premise! The protagonist makes the opposite move in businesses that seem guaranteed to turn a profit, and the more money they lose, the richer they get. The plot twists are addictive. Please recommend similar novels.
A Story Where Subordinates and Enemies Imagine the Protagonist Is a Brilliant Strategist

Let me start by saying that the score is a bit low! I finished reading it in one go. I didn't have high hopes at first, but I got into it without knowing it. It was very warm and healing. Instead of saying that Lin Yu was the male protagonist, I felt more like a group portrait, a group of men, women and children with different personalities and stories gathered together. The character creation is very vivid, it might be better if it doesn't tear the onion, it is easy to jump into the scene! I feel like the relationship between Dali and Tang Meier develops a bit quickly, but it's not unacceptable. The overall feeling is that the flaws outweigh the flaws. Come on, author, look forward to updates!
This is a book with a soul, and everyone with dreams can be moved here! Some are happy, some are tearful, some are regretful, some are relieved... Let this city made of steel and concrete have greenery, vitality and hope!
The new theme is quite novel, similar to a short video (paid to go to work), and a long time ago there were unemployed people in movies pretending to go to work. The pace is fast, but the story is a little thin.
At first, I thought it would be a light-hearted and funny anti-conventional article. Unexpectedly, it was a social group portrait article. Every character is portrayed with flesh and blood and can arouse people's resonance. It's just that the wife is too short. Update quickly.
I just started reading the introduction, about spending money to go to work. I don't like this kind of subject matter, but I still want to click and take a look. I didn't expect it to be beneficial. I can get inspiration at work, coffee, Super Red Bull AI, and it also helps people realize their dreams. It really doesn't cost money. If such a company existed in reality, I would be willing to join. Spend a small amount of money to make a lot of money to achieve your dreams, boss, where is the evil intention? He is simply a great good man, doing good deeds. I finished reading it in one go. It's too little. Keep saving it. I hope it will be better in the future. Don't stray away from the topic.
The description of the protagonist is still very good. He loves money, but he takes it clearly. Although it is a bit um, he understands everything. I really like the atmosphere of this book. Compared with other books, this book has a lot less violence, no slaps in the face, no comparisons, and not so much intrigue. (Author, you are the first author of my more than 2,000 books and more than 10,000 hours of listening to books to be rewarded. I hope you can continue writing. Although I cannot reward you very much, please forgive me.) Please update more, it is quite interesting. I have been short of books in the past month, and I can't find one I like (except yours)
Every character has flesh and blood, and the character image is unique. I haven't seen such an amazing novel in a long time. Although some settings are illogical, the overall framework structure is clear and clear. Each character has his own growth story, and has a touching emotional experience. They are all living lives and not the public faces in other stories.
After reading it, it was overall good. There were almost no mistakes that I forgot to fill in. The author's ideas are also very creative. The angle of paid work is quite interesting. The reason why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is that it made me cry too much. It's not good to cry every time. Also, the ending was too sudden. Chen Mo and Sisi didn't write about whether they are together. It would be better if the ending was written more, such as many years later, how successful they are and how many works they have done. But it seems a pity that it can't be revised after it is finished. It would be good to write a few extras if I have the opportunity.
I rate it so highly because this book is worth reading. There are few plot descriptions in the book, and the details cannot withstand scrutiny. However, it has created a new track and novel subject matter among many novels. I hope the author can stick to it.
I thought it was a systematic white text, and would be the same as the popular word-of-mouth novels, without any depth, but the reality is that the author has shaped every character, making me feel like I am seeing flesh-and-blood people. To dream! Come on, author!
