Seeing so many old friends coming back from the old book is truly a heartfelt thank you!!! It was your companionship that allowed me to persevere through the initial slump in sales! New readers are also welcome to this book. I will continue to maintain a style free of system, fantasy, clichés, and formulas, purely original, without padding or adding unnecessary words.
I opened this young author's novel with a try-it-out mentality. As I read on, I discovered there's no system, no spatial ability, no cheat codes, no idiots, not even time travel—just a little bit of the protagonist's halo, nothing more. However, this book is highly recommended. The writing is excellent, the logic is sound and coherent, and there's no obvious artificial intelligence feel.
I listened to it all afternoon, and it's really well-written! It's rare to find something so realistic, interesting, and that it also teaches you a lot about life and how to make money! It's exceptional; the writing is excellent, the logic is sound, everyone is intelligent, there are no obvious "tools" or "system" characters, it's all about the struggles and management of ordinary people!
It's really well-written! I've read over two hundred chapters! I was originally going to give it four stars! But it's truly very well-written, sigh... Author, I want to ask if there's a perfect female lead later on! Don't add a perfect female lead to a blank canvas! Or don't portray female characters as so charming and wonderful. Maybe that's normal in real life, but this is fiction!
Judging from the title and your current writing pace, once you exceed a certain number of chapters, people will definitely think you're padding the numbers. There will definitely be people who want to see the protagonist achieve massive success, the kind of huge success where they earn tens of thousands or even hundreds of millions at once.
I've been following you since the 1982 remake! All I can say is you never disappoint!!! There are no incomprehensible systems or spaces, no special abilities. Not even time travel. Just simple yet spirited writing that tells the story in a captivating way! The pacing is still fast. One wave after another, no filler. Deserves five stars! I hope you continue to work hard and write even better works.
This is a well-written work, avoiding vulgar, exaggerated, dreamlike, and stereotypical character descriptions. The plot unfolds skillfully and interestingly, making it a mid-to-high-quality work among Tomato's novels.
It seems a bit inappropriate for an old man like me to recommend this book, but after listening to it, I can say it's really well-written! It lacks my system, space, cheat codes, and even time travel—maybe that's why the rating is lower! But that doesn't stop me from supporting this book because of its realism.
Everything else is fine, but the reason for volunteering as a teacher is too unrealistic. A poor student like myself is worrying about others.
Written realistically and down-to-earth, it's a book full of positive energy.
