It's decent, but there are some definite annoyances and a weird obsession with feet that ramps up as you read further.Edit: Stopped at Chapter 98 for now since chapters 99-110 are missing. May come back to this later, but idk.Before regressing he was strung along by the girl mentioned in the synopsis throughout High School and University only for her to drop him the second she found someone she liked, so he doesn't want to let love distract him from making money. The good news is that MC makes it abundantly clear he doesn't care about her at all after he regressed. The bad news is that she turns into some weird obsessed diva who is constantly trying to control him and get him to like her, even though she still doesn't like him. This type of annoyance around romance and the numerous girls around him happens quite a lot, but for the most part MC does make it clear he isn't interested in the majority of them, and with the main love interest he is trying his best to utilise her somewhat naive (but not stupid) nature to try to steer their relationship to be more friends than romantic, but he clearly states that he knows he will accept her if she actually asks him.The other strange part is how obsessed the MC, and potentially the author, is about feet. His first interaction with the main love interest is by accidently kicking her leg under the table. He mentions to one of his male friends about some feet washing thing which appears to have something sexual about it. Whenever he hangs out with the main love interest, they either mention him wanting to touch/massage her feet, or when they are sitting by the lake alone at night, him actually playing with her feet. As you get further in the feet mentions become more and more frequent, almost once per chapter in some cases, but that is likely also due to the fact the main love interest is spending more time with MC.The humour is good and the MC showing off his maturity compared to those around him is decent, but the face slapping, annoying girls and weird feet stuff is a bit offputting. So far I'm mainly continuing just because I want to see MC finally admit to himself that the main love interest is good for him and accept her, but idk how long that will take. Some reviews mentioned the annoying side characters get toned down later, so hopefully that's true. I think it's a decent read if you're fully up to date with all your other novels and want something set in modern times with some decent humour.Edit 2: I'm not sure if I'll continue this anymore tbh. The vast majority of above was written around Chapter 70/80ish and the feet stuff is pretty close to constantly being mentioned every chapter, especially if the main love interest is involved. The annoying side characters haven't mellowed out at all, and even those that do just get replaced by carbon copies of them showing up again so there is always someone to misunderstand MC and falsely believe he is into them again.The more I type this out, the more unlikely it is I'm going to continue this tbh. I do still want to see MC and Feng Nanshu together, but potentially not enough to ignore this stuff. I still stand by my statement below though.Definetly a good novel if you're into feet.

Well, this novel is surprisingly entertaining, MC is genuinely a smart person who uses his brain and past experience efficiently, though side characters are a bit on the foolish side. I like the naivety of the FMC and how MC manipulates her, not in the bad way though. An entertaining simple slice of life with no cheats and system.
It's been a while since I read a simple slice of life. no cheat, no system. It feels refreshing.
Am i the only one to suddenly get a foot fetish after reading this novel?
yes
4.9/5 Would recommend it . Annoying characters tend to get normalised after some time. No overextension of any arc
You can’t love anyone more than your mom
Didn't even realise this was being translated. I'm caught up with the MTL (abt. 550-ish), and it's still great. Highly Recommended.
This is my storyTrust ??--Lmao this is a criminally underrated realistic hardworking mc that doesn't give a FK and just wants to get rich or marry a rich woman platonic harem route. Mf js wants to be rich grow his business bruh stop bothering him.Money, investment and finance is the romance of MEN in this generation. My sword rises when I talk about stocks.
I didn't catch the platonic harem. Most of those characters are barely in the story.
