surprisingly good and funny. The only problem I see is that except for the MC everyone else is his die-hard fans or to be fans and everyone wants to help the MC succeed and always beautify the Mc's intentions and deeds. Usually long comedic creations need a variety of characters but for now most characters seems similar to me and I don't see any rivals, anti-fans or sane characters who can see things as they are without beautifying glasses. This might not actually be a problem in a short term... more>> but I don't know about later.

edit: I started to get bored and skip chapters <<less

Finished the novel. This novel is quite a refreshing read away from all the other hot blooded novels and I really recommend it. It has a certain charm to it. However it can get somewhat exhausting after sometime of reading but it always makes me come back to it.

Simple novel that you can read to pass your time. My only issue with it is that as a wish fulfilling novel, it doesn't hit the right spots. What I mean by that is the MC lacks badass moments and every time he earns money he has depressing monologues to himself. There should've been more rich president moments if you know what I mean.

There are parts of this that are definitely repetitive, but for some reason I still find it fun to read. Obviously it requires suspension of disbelief. But I love the different misunderstandings, and the different ways that the MC and his subordinates and other accidentally mess up all the MC's plans, to the great success of the MC's company.

The MC and others always have funny shocked reactions, and the different ways everyone always finds explanations for the MC's intentions are always hilariously Big Brain.

It's an easy story to pick up... more>> and put down, and it updates very quickly. It doesn't require too many brain cells, and there is no annoying romance or harem. It's basically a funny, light-hearted story that always puts me in a good mood when I read it. <<less

I simply love it.

I'm kind of addicted to this novel and every day look it up to see whether there are new chapters - for me this is a first. After catching up to the latest chapter, I usually let novels I read ferment for a while and then binge them in one sitting, but here it's impossible for me. Maybe it's because of cliffhangers, maybe it's because of the comedy or maybe it's because of uniqueness? I have no clue, but whatever it is, it charmed me to the... more>> extent of low-key addiction.

So maybe don't read this novel? I can't tell whether I should recommend it sincerely or warn any potential reader about the risks...

Edit:

I agree with other reviewers about the thoughtful message at the end. It's really nice to read something that actually has some ideas it wants to show to the readers.

A little disclaimer though: although it is very restrained, there are rarely some nationalistic views. If a China-Western conflict is depicted, just look it up. The "Westerners" aren't at fault in some matters. <<less

Please note, my review is based on my perception of this novel up to chapter 129, at which point I switching to reading it more intermittently / casually. My main complaint is that this novel is incredibly repetitive hence the loss of interest.

Looking at the other reviews, other readers still seem to be enjoying the novel even into chapter 1, 000. So I'm not sure if it gets better or if other reviewers are just masochists.

Anyway this novel is similar to 'I really am a superstar' where the MC is... more>> transported into a similar parallel world with a different arts, entertainment and business scene.

the MC has a system which helps him to run a business and rewards him slightly for earning money, and rewards him greatly for losing it.

These perverse incentives inspire MC to do whatever it takes to invest in loss making projects, the MC will have a zany idea to try and lose money, his employees try to scrutinise and rationalise his behavior, his project for some reason or another will go on to be a smashing hit, MC's company makes a tonne of money, but the MC himself earns very little personally due to system rules. So the MC decides to double down, in an attempt to lose it once more. Basically Rinse and repeat this, ad infitum.

On other notes; the translation quality is excellent, the Supporting characters are interesting enough and MC has a pretty decent personality and dark sense of humour.

In summary this is a decent 4 star novel, only reason it loses a star is due to its repetitive nature. Overall I recommend you give it a go. <<less
