It's well-written, but there are quite a few typos. Author, please update more frequently!
It's good. Aside from being overly idealistic, it's precisely because of this idealism that it's a truly pure "feel-good" story. Also, although it's overly idealistic, it's still plausible, so I give it full marks.
A single, natural phrase remains eternally fresh; true simplicity is revealed after the extravagance fades. The most moving aspect of this novel lies in its unadorned simplicity and accessibility. Free from convoluted language and deliberate embellishment, it uses straightforward language to outline the story's trajectory, allowing readers to easily immerse themselves in it.
I clicked in and found out the book title had been changed 🤦 I skipped around while watching, but I caught up to the latest episode where the movie theater was converted into an internet cafe, which cracked me up.
This book is excellent, logically sound, and has a clear main plot: making money and building a career. The novel introduces a lot of knowledge that ordinary people don't know, making it seem very real. I read almost every chapter without skipping. Because if I don't like a novel, I'll skip parts, and if I do, I'm very likely to not finish it.
A rare, logically sound business-themed novel with a satisfying premise. There are no cheat codes, only the first-mover advantage brought by rebirth. The male protagonist starts from scratch and gradually rises to become a top global tycoon. It's definitely a satisfying read.
This kind of thing is really exciting to watch, with a smooth, fast ride and no silly plot twists. The protagonist is constantly suppressed by the US, and he has no way to retaliate. It's satisfying to watch at the beginning, but he gets completely abused later on.
I have a question: opening an internet cafe requires an investment of around 150 yuan per cafe, and the main owner holds 51% of the shares. The other party only contributes the store and doesn't invest any other money. I want to ask if a store is worth that much?
This might be a super-satisfying AI crash course novel, a non-stop thrill ride from beginning to end, with endless bottom-fishing and exploitation! An absolute idealistic utopia! 👍
Let's take a look; it's not rigorous enough at the moment. It really won't work.
