I'm fine with simple, fluffy writing. I want something satisfying, but not brainless. At least make it readable, not a slog. I hope the story has a variety of elements. No fantasy or supernatural horror, please. I'm sick of fantasy, and there are hardly any good supernatural horror stories.

This book is quite good; the writing is smooth and the plot is reasonable. No flaws. It's definitely not a mindless wish-fulfillment novel. Why are there so few readers? This doesn't make sense. Maybe it's because it hasn't received any promotions or exposure. I've added it to my bookshelf.
They came to Hong Kong Island to sell machines. The protagonist was so humble that I don't even want to talk about it. If the protagonist were a foreigner, would they treat him like that? Even if he were a foreigner, the policy wouldn't have changed anything, just because the protagonist is a yellow-skinned person from Hong Kong Island.
It's well-written and flows smoothly, but there's too much internal monologue and dialogue (nonsense). It's like I'm telling you a story; I've only said a few sentences when a bunch of internal monologues appear, then a few more sentences, and another bunch more appear, until I've forgotten what I was saying. It's tiring to read and gives me a headache. Maybe some people like this style. I'm giving up now; you guys continue.
I've already caught up to the latest chapter! The author really put their heart into it. No AI, no system, no romance—just a story of rebirth and building a career. It's so satisfying to read. Starting from scratch, with a vision ahead of his time in a confusing era… I'm not saying anything more 😤 Go read it yourself. I've already given a gift 🎁 to support you. Keep writing!
At this stage, this book is better than the previous one; it doesn't focus solely on capital and instead concentrates on real-world business. The plot is meticulously structured and the content is detailed, although it has a few minor flaws. However, it already has a very high score on Rotten Tomatoes, though the overall rating is a bit low.
I came from the previous book, and the new book is also very good. Please don't postpone it again after you finish reading it.
This rating shouldn't be so low. You can tell the author put a lot of effort into it. Perhaps the excessive internal monologues in the early chapters made it a bit tiring to read, but the depiction of Hong Kong's commercial era is definitely top-tier on Tomato Books. It avoids the melodramatic plots found in other books. This book is definitely worth reading.
It's pretty good, and the writing is quite detailed. Anyway, I don't like watching Hong Kong gangster films; I find them too petty. I prefer business dramas like this.
Why does this book have such a low rating, even though the business warfare is so well-written?
A well-crafted piece, a rare gem among Hong Kong-style literature.
