Average so far at chapter 40. One important note: Samsung literally means 3 star. So ask those employees with Samsung ratings should have been translated as 3 star ratings!
Chatter 888: enjoying it so far, system is reasonable, all the movies happening around him are fun, never quite what you expect. MC has moved to New York, so will be interesting to see if it runs movies or TV shows from the MCU. A lot does happen, but time seems to move very slowly. It feels like it took three years for the year and one birthday to go by, additionally his hiring people to do big business is only slightly reasonable, only complaints so far.

TLDR: boring, spends more time in movie universe doing a mary sue than his own world. Ending rushed, and lots of plot points never resolved, probably because author got bored too. Spoilers - Reviewed at chapter 915: note, mc doesn't become a Nazi, but he does kill red skull and take control of the non Hitler section of Hydra before destroying the Hitler supporting arms of Hydra. MC has an ability once a month to travel into a movie universe, as well as a dimensional storage space that grows bigger when he fights. He seizes advantages in movie worlds to get medical tech to boost his powers, such as super soldier serum and x-men x factor gene treatments. I skipped through many chapters because the movie he was in was boring.
I enjoyed this book for quite a while, didn't finish. See below for reviews as I read the book, includes spoilers, so be warned: final score 3 stars, but 4 at the beginning. Review at chapter 247: Interesting tech tree and method of growing a tech company despite economic pressure from the international community. The constant comparisons of which companies are involved in specific technology and material production is a little boring, and the story seems to drag and move slowly. The MC is smart as he builds an r&d facility, and when he produces products, he focuses on making components that he sells to others, or licenses technology. Because instead of making super products he makes components so his partners can make super products, he has a huge group of industry partners that support his research company. Update after chapter 532: funniest moment in the book so far, MC uses complicated math to determine the 2 women after him will take 6 hours a week, or 17 hours a week, depending on who he picks, so decided he'd rather study than have a girlfriend. Second funny thing, needs cash to fund space research so gets into the health and beauty industry to get women to pay for it. Made 3 billion the first month. Aliens have also now entered the story, might be ok, might not, have to see. Update chapter 672: 40 chapters to the end and I'm not enjoying the story as much anymore. He's out exploring the galaxy, and I'm just not interested. He left after he took over the Earth so he could have the resources to build a robot army to defend Earth from alien invaders. That wasn't very realistic either.
Made it to chapter 46, low eq concept picked for comedic value, but joke got old very fast.
Stopped at chapter 186, author doesn't really understand the technology he's writing about. Story is rather boring. Not sure what happens next, and don't really care.
Read to chapter 86. It is a typical system story, the chapters are very short so it's a very quick read. I skimmed many chapters because they were just netizens chatting about the situation. Not a story telling method I enjoy at all. MC keeps running into trouble because another phone maker or other people try to drag him down. Whole thing is like a pot of crabs, nobody can succeed because your neighbors are sabotaging your efforts. Stopped reading because it just wasn't fun.
Got bored, stopped at chapter 38. To much office politics, and school gathering stuff. It became more a treatise in how awful it was to work somewhere in 2002 then an actual story that went anywhere. I was especially disappointed as it started off with Lego, which could have been awesome.

On another site author says to skip chapters 7 and 8 as he's too lazy to delete them. That was fine, as I stopped reading at chapter 6. I thought maybe it was just badly translated, but no, it's just badly written. If you skip to the final chapter you'll discover the ending is actually worse than the 'it was all a dream' trope.
At chapter 66, it's pretty great so far. Lots of research about situations, people and companies. So far it's mostly all been taking place in the USA. Many Chinese writers have trouble with where things are in the US, this writer has done a great job with his research. Update on completing: the story starts fast forwarding a lot over the last hundred chapters or so, which helps, because it was bogging down. Author ended it before the Golden Retriever era in the US, which if you know Chinese euphemisms you know which president that is. (Reading that made me laugh) Author had to end it, he said, as it would have gotten banned. Pretty hilarious that authors complain that Americans brag about freedoms, and then complain about having chapters blocked. Spoiler: When it finally came to the Chinese American technology confrontation that the MC is preparing for the entire book, I might have handled the situation differently than the MC. I think I would have opened up sales shops just over the border in Mexico and Canada, and put on every phone "Banned by Obama" just to drive sales. That or put an American Flag on the seriously castrated no Chinese chip American version, so every one would see the flag and say, I don't want that junk. Then I'd put the full version in the store behind bullet proof glass with a big sign "Banned from sale by Obama" see whether he survived a second term, especially with a phone that popular, and a huge personal American popularity rating.
