After graduating, Chen Mo acquired the Money-Losing System. The more money he lost, the more personal assets he would gain. Losing money? That was the easiest thing in the world. Confident in his plan, Chen Mo immediately acquired a struggling clothing factory. However, what he didn’t expect was that the company was filled with a group of crafty employees. As he watched his business rise step by step to become the world’s number one corporation, he also found himself hailed as the nation’s top philanthropist, entrepreneur, environmentalist, president of the animal protection association, the ultimate legend of the investment world, and an industry-recognized model boss… Chen Mo sighed inwardly.

My Thoughts on I Really Didn’t Mean to Make Money

Alright, let's dive into "I Really Didn’t Mean to Make Money." I went into this one with high hopes, always on the lookout for a good comedy with a unique twist, and the premise certainly intrigued me. A protagonist who actively tries to lose money? Sign me up!

First Impressions

The initial chapters were definitely engaging. The setup is straightforward: our MC needs to burn through cash, and he embarks on a series of business ventures designed to fail spectacularly. The early stages of him acquiring a garment factory and hiring staff were amusing. The promise of watching him bumble his way through business felt like a fun, lighthearted read.

What Works Well

The core concept of a character actively trying to lose money is definitely the strongest point. It flips the usual power fantasy on its head. There's a certain charm in seeing the MC's unconventional approach to business. When the novel focuses on the comedic aspects of his disastrous decisions, it shines. The interactions with the loyal subordinates, who are presumably trying to help him succeed despite his best efforts, also add to the humor.

Areas of Concern

However, as I continued reading, some issues started to surface. The consistency in the story felt a bit off. For example, the financial gains often felt strangely fixed, like the 70,000 yuan mentioned. The world-building felt a little thin, and it lacked the depth that would have truly made it immersive. The business strategies, while intentionally bad, occasionally felt illogical, making it harder to suspend my disbelief.

Final Verdict

"I Really Didn’t Mean to Make Money" has potential, but it needs some refinement. If you're looking for a lighthearted comedy with a unique premise, it might be worth a try. However, be prepared for some inconsistencies and a plot that occasionally strains credulity. I'm hoping the author will address some of these issues as the story progresses, because the core concept is genuinely entertaining.
