    It depends on what kind of book you want 📖1 It's kind of a transmigration story. The protagonist (uke) transmigrates into a large-scale fusion, and the opening scene involves a huge operation to eliminate a disgusting family. The protagonist has a powerful cheat ability, but I personally feel he's not brainless. You could say that all the main characters, including the protagonist and the antagonist, have their own strengths, and I think the protagonist and the antagonist are super sweet, hehe. 📖2 I really love it!!! Eugene is such a cutie. The protagonist (uke) is reborn... Reborn as a "street vendor" haha, and then starts to get rich. I think the author writes very sincerely, with a lot of professional knowledge, historical events, and real-life cases. Also, this book is really friendly to someone like me who is a huge fan of ukes. It truly requires the antagonist to be worthy of the uke. [I don't usually pay attention to those economic cases, but the author's writing really gives it a feel of The Wolf of Wall Street.]

    It's good. I'm currently going through a period of boredom, and nothing seems interesting anymore. So many novels feel too similar to me, like repetitive stories with similar structures and content. This book is also quite simple, but the characters feel very relatable, and the companionship is heartwarming. The pace of life is so fast these days, it's making me feel mentally exhausted. But some novels just get boring after a while, and this one is alright, probably because there aren't many chapters. I wonder if I'll lose interest later on.
