   This is Little Orange Cat's new book, and I've already finished reading the serialized version. Here are my thoughts: First, it maintains Little Orange Cat's consistent style—detailed and realistic. Although it's a reincarnation story, there's absolutely no cheat code or overpowered elements; it's a genuine entrepreneurial journey. The analysis of the entrepreneurial process, real-world projects, industry competition, and even national energy strategy is outstanding—I even suspect it's based on the author's real experiences, because no outsider could write this. At the same time, within a professional context, it's never dry. Whether it's the handling of emotions (including love, friendship, patriotism, and the shared dream of mutual success) or the pacing, I dare say it's extremely rare in urban novels. There's almost no sense of unrealistic plot development; many parts will move you, excite you, and make you want to comment. I believe this book won't disappoint you!!
