slice of life about old construction worker who gets a report of future events and information, what if he knew the liquor store tomorrow would sell a winning lottery scratcher, but how would you know which one, would you buy all of them? he sees a lost dog flyer but person refuses to pay him reward posted. so while the info is real, real life means he won't get advertised rewards. slow and not much action.

"This novel is not part of the slice of life genre. After reading more than 200 chapters, readers will be surprised by a scene where the main character fights alone against a large corporation. This conflict drags on for over 300 chapters, with the protagonist still living as a fugitive. China is portrayed very negatively, where large consortiums hold overwhelming power, almost as if they can cover the sky, forcing the protagonist to take them down. Despite receiving help from the system, he remains an ordinary person relying solely on money. This is extremely frustrating, especially during critical moments when the system doesn’t assist him at all. Even when his greatest enemy is right next to him, the system fails to notice, which only adds to the frustration. I decided to stop reading because of how aggravating it became. Initially, I was looking for a slice of life story, but this novel is clearly not in that genre."

It’s actually a pretty good read as of chapter 80. I wouldn’t classify this as slice of life but more as a drama, since the typical idea of slice of life revolves around mundane daily life with little to no plot or character development. This also doesn’t feel like a josei novel, as it’s clearly marketed more toward men than women. Other than the fact that the MC takes care of his wife and daughter, there’s really nothing about it that screams josei. The novel itself is quite unique and enjoyable. We get to watch the MC gradually become rich and powerful through his information system. It’s not a case of getting insanely wealthy overnight—his fortune builds up slowly and steadily. So far, by chapter 80, the MC has earned around 25+ million yuan (about 3.5 million USD). One refreshing aspect is that there’s very little, if any, face-slapping. Instead, the story focuses on wholesome interactions, which is a nice change of pace. The beginning is a bit slow, but things start picking up around chapter 60. So far, there hasn’t been any major threat to the MC, but there’s foreshadowing that trouble is on the horizon. It also seems like the MC might soon establish his “Abyss Organization” after encountering a significant threat, which should be exciting. The idea of the MC becoming a mysterious figure with access to nearly impossible-to-obtain information is pretty intriguing. The characters are also well-written—they’re not just “good” or “bad”; they actually feel like real people. Overall, I’d rate the novel a 7.5/10 and the translation an 8/10. There are some minor grammar mistakes here and there, but nothing serious enough to ruin the experience or cause confusion (like pronoun errors).
