The content is alright, and it's one of the few stories with a relatively early timeline. However, there are too few system employees. Also, since the protagonist is rich, why doesn't he hold a few official positions [learned something] to make it easier to recruit more people later? It's not an urban face-slapping story, so why are there so many little karami coming to provoke him?
This time-travel novel set in the late Qing Dynasty is incredibly captivating. The protagonist travels to Shanghai in 1900, activates a "labor system" that allows him to steadily earn money by recruiting people, and gradually establishes himself in the chaotic world of Shanghai, becoming an underground tycoon.
It's really quite good-looking, but the system limitations are annoying. To be honest, for a country that needs to build an army through industry, one or two ounces per person per day isn't much, but once the army is built up, the ammunition consumption alone will be considerable. Plus, you limit the number of recruits based on the company's level.
There were parts I didn't quite understand; they took in an opera singer, and ended up recognizing her as their goddaughter.
This is very well written and of high quality. Keep it up! A truly excellent novel. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 [Original work enthusiast] 👍👍 [Bump][Bump][Request for more updates]
A veteran author with consistently high quality! I've been following this book since the last one, and both the writing and plot are excellent. You won't regret jumping in!
It's alright, but the cheat code is a bit small. It's not as satisfying as Chen Zhuo's.
The system's money-giving is unreliable; it's better to give it to assassins.
I can only give it four stars; the extra star is because the protagonist's combat power was suppressed too much.
