    This is an autobiographical novel by an author born in the 1970s. From being too afraid to hold his girlfriend's hand after three years of dating, to meeting countless women he met online, from sleepless nights due to stock market losses to accurately predicting two major bull markets—all of this happened to one person. The author wrote five short stories based on his personal experiences, showing how a naive young man turned into a scumbag. The novel blends the stock market boom with the internet boom, creating a strong sense of the era.
