While it could be a very interesting story about a struggling painter achieving fame and making his dreams come true I just couldn’t enjoy MC personality. Though it is just my own opinion.It started as a very good and informative story, I liked reading the art history mentioned. Also it was nice that MC was not immediately arrogant just because he stumbled upon a good opportunity but the fact that he is portrayed as overly insecure due to how poor his family was while growing up and he comes across as someone very uncool made me unable to enjoy the story.And what made me eventually give up reading was that I couldn’t see how such a below average guy with a not so good personality (even he describes himself as a slightly selfish and self absorbed person) living in a very lacklustre way is supposed to be a genius painter. He just couldn’t give me that feeling... The mistakes he keeps making in his daily interactions like Spoiler
again and again not answering his phone or hanging up on a prospective client after mistaking them for telemarketers or signing contracts without even reading them and a lot more
[collapse] while making him more real also keeps me from liking the MC.Still it has a good story and might be enjoyable read for those that like this kind of MC...
