The book's biggest flaw is its setting in 19th-century America. In a society that largely rejected (and not just discriminated against) Chinese people, who had no legitimate social standing, how could the protagonist so easily and leisurely acquire $500 million? American capitalists would immediately try to eliminate him and pocket the money.
I really love this book, but unfortunately, my difficult life means I can only subscribe to a little over a hundred chapters and cast one monthly pass.
In the era of the Chinese Exclusion Act, the protagonist's dream of becoming a big capitalist was simply a pipe dream; it was utterly impossible. No matter how much money you made using your prophetic abilities, in short, because you were Chinese, your assets were considered illegal gains and would be confiscated entirely. That was the reality back then.
The worst thing about this book is that the protagonist adopts a Black person.
After reading dozens of chapters, I've summarized some problematic points, especially regarding money. The author is overly generous. He mentions that 100 million in that era was equivalent to 100 billion today. So, after earning 20 million, giving each Chinese family in 22nd Street 50,000 is equivalent to 50 million US dollars per family today? That's toxic.
I don't understand why so many novels make such a ridiculous claim about the Rothschild family. Before World War II, this family was only somewhat wealthy in Europe, but at best a third-rate family. Moreover, they chose the wrong side during the American Revolutionary War and the Napoleonic Wars and were severely damaged.
Why can't I subscribe to my first subscription?
The formula of gangster novels from ten years ago has just changed the setting, making it suitable for those hot-blooded, youthful, and somewhat immature teenagers. Trust me, you'll absolutely enjoy it. When I used to read books like "The Ultimate Playboy" and "Campus Madman," I was always thrilled, excited, and suspenseful—it was incredibly satisfying!
This book is much better written than many novels with tens of millions of clicks, so why are there so few clicks?
Writing about those adopted children was a real mistake; they really enjoyed being cheap fathers!
