 For a slice of life- wish fulfillment novel, it's enjoyable. I listen to its audiobook while working and pass the time. The problems come from the characters. Like every Korean we novel, the characters are sociopaths, it actually makes you think all Korean authors are sociopaths. From Dungeon defense, even EER MC has some psychopathic moments.  [spoiler]The female lead is a little manipulative witch. She literally approached the MC while knowing she was a CEO, and wanted him to risk his life and fight a powerful business group and revenge for her, over some little smile. But since he logically refused, she went to treating him like air, literally ignoring all the times he helped her. I thought they were friends but the moment something doesn't go her way, she makes him an acquaintance from friend. But right after he does, she literally offers herself to him as a girlfriend. Don't lie to me, how did she refuse all advances from better guys(or girls, not judging) but immediately became his girlfriend right after he did something for her. The MC himself is no better, if not worse. From the start, he overly complained how he was overworked and lived poorly, like being born with a plastic spoon is the worst thing to happen to a human. As a person from a third world country, 5 of my uncles died while younger than me so I can't relate to the pure torture of sitting in an office for hours, breaking your tailbone The girl that his parents hooked him up with, was rejected because she was too nice. Not because you guys live a different style, but simply because you thought she wasn't worthy of you. I hope she lives a happier life than you, but I guess she won't. [/spoiler]  The MC himself is no better, if not worse.

As a person from a third world country, 5 of my uncles died while younger than me so I can't relate to the pure torture of sitting in an office for hours, breaking your tailbone.( It's repeated, I apologize) Also, he's super hypocritical. He keeps shouting ( in his mind) how he isn't like other CEOs but he's just like them.(unless you're Jeff Bezos, that's a straight up sociopath). [spoiler]He is super greedy, and always want more money. I wouldn't fault that but, just the idea that what pushes the plot is only his greed,rather than everything else, makes me hate him. Somehow his money is never enough, and you can say it's for the sake of learning new classes and knowing his future that's wrong because they're billions of other things that can make him famous. [/spoiler] I honestly wouldn't have cared if he's greedy, but there was one comment that pissed me off.[spoiler]When he bought that Bentley, he gave a filmsy excuse that a rich person should spend money, therefore circulating it back into society. [/spoiler]. I guess it never crossed his mind that donating to the poor helpless children and teenagers who literally prostitute themselves to feed their families around the world is important, but a diamond watch is worth it.  [spoiler]Even during the earthquake, he could have made some money of the dead people but refused, and somehow that makes him a saint. Even when he donated the 14 million, there was no sympathy for the future homeless and child beggars due to the catastrophy. It's all for his rankings and ego.[/spoiler] I enjoy listening to numbers being rambled in my ear, and more than boring story. But when it comes to characters, either the weren't well thought out, or they are plain sociopaths.

you nail more than half of the problem here after I finish read it half year ago. Though aside from the need to edit your comment more, at least this novel are still better than other novel like 'god of money' in teaching us about economy, and stock market here, which is pretty good enough for a quick read/research about business novel for idea

I may have disliked him personally and exaggerated his shortcomings. Let me say that this novel is actually good and I don't want anybody to turn away from it due to my review.

yeah, I thought so, beside about the part like that female lead, indeed that she quite manipulative witch, but at least she is quite faithful for the mc, even when in certain chapter where it seem 'the mc is cheating her', but she isn't like other b*tch and actually do truth him a bit, hear his explain and check to see if it the mc cheating, or it the other girl who are try to steal the mc away there, or it just the 'fake news' thing just for the money/fame. That one of the good part about her so far, don't remember the other detail much since it have been a long time
