   Reader note

   This new book is realistic and avoids clichés. It doesn't depict people instantly becoming rich by brewing wine with refined salt and soap, nor does it show how reciting a few poems can instantly amass a multitude of followers, or how hunting in the mountains can instantly result in killing wild boars and tigers. It's a story of vying for supremacy in a chaotic world, but the protagonist must start by farming and self-reliance. While there are "golden fingers" (advantages that grant advantages), these abilities need to develop steadily, with the protagonist gradually becoming stronger each day. It features multiple female leads, but the emotional development is very nuanced. Not all women fall for the male lead immediately upon first sight; rather, they gradually experience his charm through various situations and events. It's a rare, well-crafted book and definitely worth reading.
