   Only these two are worth reading. The first book excels in its depiction of business warfare, government departments, and human nature, written in great detail, unlike other novels that gloss over entrepreneurship and portray success as a smooth ride to becoming a tycoon. The second book showcases the author's skill in character development for the female lead and supporting characters, with extensive emotional build-up that is well worth pondering. While the business aspect isn't as detailed as the first book, the author lays the groundwork according to a realistic timeline. The entire book effectively engages the reader's emotions, demonstrating the author's profound writing skills.

    I've been having a reading slump lately, and I clicked on this topic when I saw it. I did a sample reading of "A Favor System?

Currently, it has 59,000 readers, which is quite popular, and I hope it maintains this pace. Fans of urban rebirth stories should definitely check it out; I'm already following it.

    Don't look at the rating! Don't look at the rating! I recommend a different kind of period drama. It's the story of a group of people born in the 1970s growing up. In that wild and untamed era, everyone was striving and fighting for tomorrow. Friendship, family, love, business intrigue, and scheming. It's very good. Readers who are tired of Tomato's formulaic and overly exciting novels should definitely check this out. You won't regret it.
