Aww such a shame that the translation has stopped here. I'm willing to optimistically wait in case it gets picked up again but I might just try to continue with MTL if I run out of good novels to read like this one!MC is refreshing, though he seems to have some violent tendencies.. He can carry himself well and even bluff his way around the rich bigshots despite his contrasting background. He's smart, resourceful but also seems to care for his friends and loved ones.ML is a funny two-faced gap, and hits my weakness for the enemies to lovers trope. I like reading a bit of his POV. He and his sister are a treat! They're a hilarious duo.Quite interesting to read about the gradual growth of the economy as part of the plot, I enjoyed reading about MC's thought process, and the background behind his decisions. Translator has put heaps of notes as well which made it very insightful for me.I do find the MC a bit selfish though, he does a few things behind his friends' backs (he himself believes it's for their own good but doesn't stop to consider their own thoughts really), it doesn't sit well with me personally. Especially after having Deng Mao become his subordinate when he already had his own plans prior to them moving to Yan city.. I honestly think MC doesn't seem to treat them as equals, and seem to take care of them like they're his own pets? Maybe it's because mentally he is, like, in his 30s..
