I guess the humor just isn't for me, obviously the main character is meant to be dumb like a lot of other comedy novels but he is separately really unlikable and whiny. I guess this genre is about seeing him as pitiful but still being able to laugh because he's succeeding but i just can't get over how annoying his outlook on things and thought process is. I have come back to it 2-3 times to read more but i always end up stopping after a couple chapters because of how much time we have to spend with this guy that lazes around doing nothing, can't look at anything positively, seeks to use everyone around him, has no interpersonal relations, and is really really dumb. Not only that but the reality of the system setting the bar higher each time, which is the core of the comedy, to me reflects the depressing reality of struggling with a futile task and is genuinely depressing. There was a moment one chapter where he got the results in and it mentioned he felt suicidal; fair enough looking at the money you didn't get for free i think most people would be genuinely suicidal. I almost expected him to jump off the roof. On one hand he's still just being handed money but on the other he's going to have to work harder and harder and nothing goes right for him and its honestly kinda nightmarish. Anyway, i'm sure if you're a fan of this type of comedy the novel is great but it's a hard pass from me

This novel is also not for me too. The MC is really dumb and doesn't care about all his employee at all, he is hell bent on losing money even if it means sacrificing the hard works of all his employees . The whole misunderstanding thing is not for me , it is good for first few times but then it becomes genuinely unbearable and the system is just broken.

This novel is not about the mc You should treat the mc as a side character

I guess you haven't caught up to the latest chap yet where the mc is slowly becoming more aware of things that are inevitable like some business becoming successful due to a certain event. Also, it is expected to have some plot holes here and there especially in novels that are content rich as this. Plus those plotholes aren't even that big of a deal.

At first, this novel has an interesting concept. Thus, I read all the way to 500 plus chapters(after reading here, I go find the raw site and read further). However, because this is an interesting concept, it is very hard to maintain quality. After reading past 500 plus chapters, the storyline is getting old. MC still tries his hardest to lose money in the company but almost always fails. I see a huge flaw in this novel. If MC really wants to lose money so badly, all he has to do is develop his product poorly(barely pass the standard of the system), then put the rest of his money in the promotion of the product. This way, when consumer sees the product advertisement and try it then found out the product sucks, then they will most likely blacklist MC product in the future. Thus, MC will always lose money. Instead, in this novel, MC put a lot of money in product development which ends up having a good quality product, and then he hopes that no one will find it. This kind of thinking of MC causes him to fail every time (it is enjoyable to read this kinda thing at the beginning, but then it's getting old when this kind of situation keeps on repeating itself throughout 500 plus chapters). That is a major flaw, it is very hard to keep this storyline interesting with this kind of concept without making the reader feeling bored because the storyline repeats itself over and over again. Because even I can see how to let MC lost money every time (and I'm not in the gaming or entertainment industry). As said, all he has to do is produce barely passable product(in order to pass the system requirement), then put all his money into advertising the product, it is more likely that his product will have a bad review and lost money as a result. Sum it up, a very interesting idea for this novel, but it is hard to keep the storyline interesting.

Card Apprentice Daily Log

Dalton Wyatt, a world-renowned scientist and inventor, is transmigrated into the body of a high school student, also named Dalton Wyatt, who had tragically committed suicide due to unfortunate circumstances and a complicated life. The enchanting world of cards he finds himself in is vastly different from Earth, yet eerily similar in certain aspects. Unlike the peaceful Earth, where humans fought only amongst themselves, this new world is plagued by dungeons and monsters. Here, humanity's survival hinges on battling these mythical and legendary creatures. Ordinary mortals lack the strength to stand against such formidable foes. Thankfully, a select few are blessed with the ability to harness their souls, manifest soul power, and become card apprentices—humanity’s last hope against extinction. Card apprentices are individuals who form contracts with grimoires, mystical artifacts that allow them to wield powerful and versatile cards to fend off monsters and conquer dungeons. A grimoire provides card apprentices with abilities such as card creation and card fusion. Most importantly, it enables them to unlock their full potential in card battles. While this world shares the concept of science with Earth, its focus is not on electronics or industrialization. Instead, cards replace the need for most technologies, fulfilling even the smallest of daily necessities. This world revolves entirely around the grimoire’s abilities, particularly card creation and card fusion. Transmigrated to a place where strength can be bought with money, Dr. Wyatt is forced to earn a living to ensure his survival. Fortunately, with his otherworldly knowledge and expertise, card creation comes naturally to him, setting him apart from other card apprentices. Dr. Wyatt crafts and sells perfect, powerful, and resourceful cards, steadily growing stronger in this monster-ridden world. --- "What did you say? Making good cards is hard? Bah! Card creation is a breeze." "My friend, let me enlighten you—there are no 'trash card ingredients,' only incompetent card creationists."

Floating Island - Triple S Talent

Humans of Earth were transported to the Divine Sky Realm, a world brimming with fortune and danger. In this celestial domain, humanity now dwells upon floating islands, ascending as rulers. When else will you get the chance to be a king and vie for supremacy? The system bestowed powers upon chosen individuals, granting limitless luck. Lein, an ordinary office worker, received the SSS-rank talent - Infinity Duplicate. There was nothing in this world that he couldn't duplicate, not even god-tier materials. The path to becoming the strongest lay before him. Yet, Lein knew all too well that it required a process. Even the gods needed a process to create the universe. The Divine Sky Realm offered a fantastical life that Earth's humans had always dreamed of. Soaring through the skies, shattering mountains, rising to the pinnacle in all endeavors. But humans remain humans, wherever they are, driven by their innate nature: greedy and unaware of their limits. Humans believed they were the sole inhabitants of the universe, thinking only they received the system's fortune. But reality proved otherwise. Other races in the universe were granted the same blessings, without distinction. In fact, the human physique was considered low-tier. Races like the Wood Elves, Dwarves, Goblins, Dragons, and countless others possessed bodies that defied the heavens from the outset. Could humans survive in the Divine Sky Realm? We can only hope for the best. The humans found themselves in a realm where dreams and nightmares walked hand in hand, a place where every desire and fear took form. Floating islands became their new kingdoms, a testament to their newfound power and ambition. Lein, an unremarkable man back on Earth, now wielded the power of Infinity Duplicate, a gift that could make him invincible.
