OK.... this starts out OK. (Just OK though).Kind of reminds me of "Epiphanies of Rebirth" but not nearly as good... (BUT.. in fairness... Epiphanies of Rebirth was done in 2017 according to NU and this was done in 2014... so I guess Epiphanies would be the one 'inspired' by this perhaps?) Also the author starts to just pile in a bunch of info on what happened in a year or 2 in one chapter for a time skip.... this sort of stuff should/could have been written out and would have seriously helped the novel in general.The pace in general tends to alternate between too slow and too fast...The things that you actually think he should explore more, like actual relationships in his village or later on with people tend to get glossed over.Also, do NOT read this for a business power couple.... the business is all glossed over, he throws out some stuff but the author never really goes into it in any real detail later on. (at least not as of chapter 74.... and there are only 85 chapters including extras... so I doubt it will happen).Additionally there is some very light nationalism....I say very light because it is very light....I keep watching to see if it goes worse but so far it hasn't. As long as it's just proud of his country I can tolerate it...A for effort, but at the moment maybe 2.5 stars.... definitely NOT worth a re-read.
