“Live broadcast of a poor Shou’s practical investment in handsome men after winning the lottery and getting transported to another dimension.”

Bae Jaewon, a young man who dreams of becoming a super ant by investing in stocks day and night.

Living by the motto that life is a plan, not a gamble, he suddenly wins the lottery.

Celebrating his win, he eagerly goes to collect his prize money, but life is not that easy.

On the day he wins 3 billion won, he gets into a car accident and is transported to another world.

Just when he thought another world couldn’t be more annoying,

it seems he’s fallen into a novel.

There’s no time to despair.

The lottery prize collection period is one year.

Within that time, he must find the male and female leads and get them married to complete the novel and return safely to reality.

Jaewon, jumping around like a flea to find the stunningly handsome men,

works hard to recruit them!

However, for some reason, these guys seem to care less and less about the female lead, and keep getting entangled with him, a mere extra…

Criminally short, but so good. The humor is well done, the chemistry between all of the characters is fun, and the tension between the male lead and the main character is delicious.

Spoiler free summary: Bae Jaewan is passionate about stocks. Charming, attractive, and with an inability to control what comes out of his mouth. His days are filled with working hard to rise above his economic status. Tutoring part time, he reads a romance novel to his latest tutee as a reward for studying, only to find a mysterious message... more>> in the book. In one day, he wins the lottery and is hit by a truck, transporting him into the romance novel. There, he meets Kim Dojeon, a man who has been blessed in every possible way. A perfect candidate for a male lead and perhaps the ticket to getting out of this novel. But things might not be so straightforward, and as he searches for a way to bring together a male lead and a female lead so he can get back to the real world and his winning lottery ticket, he might discover his own love story along the way.

I really loved the twists in this, and the author does a good job of setting up the reveals. The summary leads one to believe there might be multiple love interests, but there really is only one. All of the supporting characters are distinct and I wish we got to spend more time with them all, especially at the end. I appreciate a story where the male lead has friends and bonds to people other than the main character.

Overall, I highly recommend reading the novel. It's funny, sexy, and so very sweet. <<less

This is fantastic, honestly. It's so crazy no sane person can predict the storyline. I started reading the manhwa first and then ended up reading the novel because I just couldn't picture how the adaptation could be so chaotic -- no, the novel is even more chaotic, mainly because the MC's introspection is line-by-line meme in script. And because he believes he's in a novel, he ALWAYS lets the intrusive thoughts win. Or rather, he acts on every single thought he has, which inevitably derails his plan to speedrun the... more>> plot according to its original events.

What I love about it:

  • For once, a fully rational ML that has a good reason he 'stands out from the crowd'
  • Introspection we get from Do-jun (ML) on how he views our capitalistic, unhinged and charming MC
  • A side pairing formed from the two characters I least expected to get together
  • The smut scene is spicier than anything else with a "highschool" setting (this is fully legal for reasons I won't spoil)
  • Hilarious dialogue - although you might die from secondhand embarrassment

To all the new readers wondering whether you should start this novel: look no further. I’m honestly jealous of anyone getting to read this for the first time.

The story follows Jaewon, who suddenly finds himself inside what seems to be a novel. We’ve all seen this trope countless times, right? Well... not exactly. I won’t spoil anything, but trust me when I say the story takes turns you absolutely don’t expect. Some of the plot twists genuinely caught me off guard.

Jaewon himself is one of the most entertaining MC's I’ve... more>> read in a while. He’s chaotic, funny, completely unfiltered, and constantly puts himself in situations that cause second hand embarrassment. You simply can’t get bored with him.

One interesting aspect of the story is the narrative style. There’s quite a lot of finance and stock related talk, which actually adds a unique flavour to the plot.

I’ve seen some readers saying the story felt short, and I didn't read the translation here, but the Ridi version includes plenty of side stories, so the world and characters feel well expanded. Just for you to know that there's more and don't stop reading.

Overall, I’d say: don’t overthink it. Just start reading. And if you enjoy adaptations, the webtoon version is also very well done. In some moments, I even thought it worked better than the novel <<less

Came here to read this after starting the webtoon. It's surprisingly translated to the webtoon word for word.

It's been a while since a bl was this enjoyable that I HAD to find the novel. The MC and the supporting characters are so funny. The ML being brooding but cute and thought was really refreshing.

My only issue is that ending. This needed some side stories. That cannot be how this ends. I'm happy it's a HE but there has to be more. Hopefully the webtoon employs creative freedom and adds some... more>> side stories.

Besides that disappointing ending I'd definitely re-read this (as long as it's accessible..... yk with the copyright strikes happening) <<less

What a criminally underrated novel and a fantastic translation by translator mimi. I came from the manhwa as well because I just had to check out the source material lol.

Highly recommend this novel for reasons such as

    • An intriguing and well written plot
    • Well fleshed out and actually likeable characters
    • Laugh out loud comedy
    • Foolish grin- and squeal-worthy romance
    • Well written s*xual tension and smut that will raise your body temperature
    • Heart clenching angst
I blew through this in half a day because I was hooked from the get-go.

Definitely going to come back to this as a comfort read.

It's a pity that author Sujo has only this one novel on novelupdates!
