You can't keep writing about deception all the time! Deceiving those who are bad to the protagonist, and deceiving those who are good to him too. It's one thing for a reborn protagonist to get their first pot of gold through deception, but writing it like this afterward just makes the protagonist annoying. Knowing so much about history and having accumulated initial wealth, can't the protagonist just earn money and pick up girls honestly?
The protagonist is strange; he does things without any purpose, just endlessly repeating commercial fraud methods, trapping others while trapping himself. He seems to have made some progress, but he feels no sense of accomplishment at all. It's a failed novel.
The author wrote the protagonist's nationality as Singapore, a tiny, insignificant country. Businessmen from such small countries, even if they become successful, are nothing but pigs abroad—they have no future.
Sigh, I'm getting a bit tired of watching this. It's exhausting to see them constantly using these financial tricks to scam people.
I've read dozens of chapters, where's the satisfying part?
The book feels neither quite a novel nor a proper outline, hovering somewhere in between. The business battles aren't detailed, the female characters are only briefly mentioned, and the protagonist mainly relies on small-scale gambles for big gains, constantly deceiving and swindling people. He's initially tricked into joining the underworld and constantly under police surveillance.
To be honest, I still don't understand what this book is about or what the protagonist wants to do, even after subscribing for so long.
Even the limited-time free offers are too much to bear. 😅
After reading some comments and the first few chapters, I have to say that even if it were free for a limited time, not many people would read it. It's rubbish. Bye!
Several suggestions
First, we still don't know exactly how much wealth the protagonist has. Second, it should be around 10 billion, right? That's quite a lot. As a time traveler, with so much wealth, and still lying, can he really become a big shot? Who would respect him? He needs to broaden his horizons!
