The current title only reflects the protagonist's ambitions, not what the story is actually about. A slow-burn, everyday-life story. The protagonist isn't a big shot, doesn't take the world by storm, and won't become a billionaire. If you don't like a reborn protagonist without lofty ambitions, don't read it, and please don't leave negative comments! Writing takes effort, so if it's not for you, please leave quietly.
