I've definitely struck gold with this story! The main character (MC) is incredibly unique, and I adore the well-developed characters, engaging plot, and dramatic elements. The world-building is impressive, too – it's been a long time since I laughed this much. The author truly excels at creating humorous atmospheres, and the wit of the MC is hilarious. Initially, I thought the MC would be your typical overpowered protagonist with a tragic backstory, sharp mind, and exceptional skills in conflict resolution. However, he stands out because his ambitions are grounded, and his character is refreshingly original.
What sets this apart is that the MC embodies the traits of a classic 'seme' in danmei stories, but with an added twist of financial struggles. It's not just the MC that I appreciate; the author does a fantastic job fleshing out supporting characters, even minor ones like the antagonist's relatives who possess intelligence and morality,敢于 challenge their own kind's foolishness. Reading many intense stories can be satisfying but draining, as it often feels like only the MC, ML, and their inner circle are rational. This author breaks that mold by showing a more balanced world with diverse, complex characters.
