Please recommend something good.

100% Pure AI, no human intervention.
I've read over 100 chapters so far. I personally don't quite like the protagonist's personality in the early stages. I actually hope he's a bit more selfish, like when Uncle Yan Fugui schemes against him, he directly confronts him and doesn't give her any advantage. The protagonist didn't do that. Instead, he made a choice based on the realistic consideration of protecting his own interests.
The beginning was so-so, rambling on about trivial matters all the time. It got better and better starting with the rural excursion, and the Kunlong Project after returning to Beijing became increasingly captivating. I hope the author keeps up the good work and continues to improve.
It's quite good-looking, and the ideas aren't exaggerated; they're very down-to-earth.
The content is rich in emotion and very engaging, especially the part about contributing so much to the country's scientific and technological development; it's exhilarating! As a bookworm of over a decade, I found it exceptionally enjoyable.
Nowadays, readers tend to prefer abstract, whimsical reading, and most authors cater to the market, writing about elite soldiers and celebrities. There are few works like this that realistically depict businesses and entrepreneurs, capturing the daily lives of those in management. Keep writing!
Clear logic, high IQ.
Yes, it's very well written, it evokes a strong sense of the past.
A 30-year-old bookworm's daily check-in
The book is pretty good, but it's a bit lacking in satisfying moments. The satisfying parts are too frustrating; you're constantly being targeted and doing so much, and although there are plot twists, it's not enough to truly vent your anger.
