This is the most realistic book I've seen on Tomato Bookstore, so I'll give it four stars as encouragement. When I got to chapter 155, I thought it was alright, but in the later chapters, the author became too self-righteous. It's ridiculous that someone who can't even manage their own family relationships is teaching others how to handle family relationships, and I lost the will to continue reading.
Having read up to chapter 62, I felt it was quite good. The portrayal of a poor man who becomes rich through a mutated personality was very realistic. A poor person who suddenly becomes rich doesn't flaunt it every day; even running a factory requires careful management to avoid bankruptcy. Therefore, the protagonist's personality was depicted very realistically.
This is a very well-written novel. The protagonist's inability to recognize a master was cleverly resolved, and unlike other novels where the world turns against the protagonist the moment they make a small contribution, this one features a steady and gradual development. Keep it up, and I hope it becomes a hit!
It has an industrial fiction feel to it, reminding me of Super Monster Factory.
A truly excellent work, with a flawless storyline. Having read many industrial, commercial, and financial novels, this one stands out in terms of narrative. It's not a traditional "feel-good" novel; the enjoyment comes from following the author's pen, with emotional resonance across the success, failure, and romance storylines, unfolding gradually in the reader's mind as the protagonist grows.
5 Stars rating, 4 stars for honest review. This is a soft science fiction novel with a hard industrial theme, starting with a brilliant idea and gradually developing into a coherent urban science fiction story. It's very captivating, stemming from the fantasy and anticipation of deep, cold technology.
This is a great book, written in meticulous detail. It truly portrays how an engineering student with cutting-edge technology builds a business from scratch. Many details are so nuanced that you wouldn't imagine them unless you've experienced them firsthand. It feels very down-to-earth.
It's alright. It's a story about an ordinary person seizing an opportunity and rising to prominence, showing their growth step by step in terms of mental fortitude, problem-solving skills, perspectives, personal experiences, and how they handle situations.
I clicked in expecting a lighthearted, action-packed story, but the writing style actually leans more towards realism. The characters and plot are realistic rather than driven by plot requirements or wish-fulfillment themes. The literary quality is excellent; the characters' struggles in real society and their near-mistakes based on their own understanding are portrayed very realistically.
This book appears to have been written using AI, but the author is a master, not just in using the tools, but also in understanding the structure of the text, character development, plot progression, manipulation of human emotions, analysis of events, and the overall logical framework.
