    I wholeheartedly agree with the original poster! These days, urban money-making novels are all about rebirth, revenge, and powerful figures with cheat codes—it's all so unrealistic. I highly recommend "Mastering the Business World," which I've been following. The protagonist is an ordinary person who goes bankrupt and starts from scratch, gradually building his business in foreign trade, connecting with investors, and managing supply chains. Even when signing contracts with venture capitalists, he meticulously scrutinizes the terms to avoid traps. The difficulties of his entrepreneurial journey are portrayed very realistically. There are no flashy cheat codes; it's just an ordinary person steadily building a business and making money.
