  Disregard Fantasy, Acquire Currency brings a unique take of being isekaid, done right. I've read too many stories where the author forgets the main goal of the story, and the story never progresses. That said, this story is about being a 21st century entrepreneur in the body of a noble talented in the sword.
  Style: The plot moves smoothly, with jokes scattered throughout and pacing seems to be alright. Chapter length is not too short, averaging around 2.7k per, which is sufficient. Worldbuilding is well developed with clear visualisation of how the world looks through the mc's viewpoint.
  Story: Unique take on an otherwise bland genre where the noble house usually is in a bad position or the mc is a unwanted child. The family politics is deep and interesting, and the focus on making money does not take 20 chapters to reach. Still early so may still be too early to tell what is the goal other than making a lot of money.
  Grammar: I'm not an english teacher, nor do I expect the author to be one. The grammar is good in my eyes to read without breaking inmersion.
  Character: Mc is smart and competent. Selling a product is hard but the mc makes all the neccessary requirements. Analysing cash flow, underserved market and more. Understands his clientele, by getting the best quality works instead of regular works. Its the small things that count.
  Overall, amazing story to read if your a fan of the genre or making money in general. Hope to see this story develop further, has high potential.

  Firstly I will start off with the style.
  The style of the story is extremely different from your regular 'isekai' and this one makes it fresh. The writing style is also very good and connects things throughout in an easy and non-convoluted way to understand. (It's hard to write style for me!)
  And now we are onto the story... This story was an extremely good one at least for me. It had an extremely different approach to a lot of things, including fantasy elements, business elements and romance elements. The chemistry between characters seems believable and yet unexpected. The story can be split into parts from my personal view, and none of the parts fall behind each other.
  Grammar was the lowest rating from me because sometimes there would be parts of a chapter where it would be hard to understand what a character was trying to say in relation to something else and there was just a few blatant errors, however other than that, this story used a very good amount of uncommon words that one usually wouldn't see and the MC sure loved to use them...
  Lastly, the characters. The MC is an extremely shifting (😉) character
  And he grows overtime along the story despite seeming unwilling to change along with his soul-brother (not sure what to call it).
  He also has an interesting sense of humor and has qualms about his situation despite getting a second chance at life.
  FMC... The FMC was difficult to describe. Honestly when she was first introduced, I expected her to be a minor villain at best, however the author expertly tied her into the story. The reader learns about her throughout the story and her story and shifting (😉) morals are an extremely integral part of her character.
  The king was a very interesting character,
  considering when we are introduced to him we are told he killed his own son.
  He is what seems to me at least, an extremely complex character who later makes decisions that many of the lead cast do not agree with.
  Willem van brugh is not shown all to much in the s

  It's a good story, I am happy that author did not drag it. The characters are well established although they behave stupidly but nothing interrupts a good fairy tale kind of vibe. I would definitely buy the ebook if it becomes available. The author has done an amazing job for their first story, definitely worth following.

  Its very much like the work "The Eminence in Shadow" with Williem's superpower being business accumen. He seems to be oblivious of the effect of the indirect concequences of his actions in many cases, which makes this a very entertaining read. I rarely write reviews but this story here has me want to say something about it. Give it a read I am sure you will enjoy, if not you will take home a lot of business strategy(which may or may not work in real life though)

  Books are tools for different perspectives and lifestyles and the MC of this book is one who is different from every other generic MC template in recent history.I don't think that his method is the best or other methods are simply worse, but he has conviction and I am curious to see how the author will tackle his intersction with a world that has a different one

  Business Savvy Meets Isekai Intrigue
  Man, what truly sets this novel apart is its focus on money and market over going on with the martial path. Despite being hinted many times that Willem is sort of a genius and really damn strong. The refreshing approach gives the story an edge, appealing to readers who crave a more grounded, innovative take on the isekai genre and man I love this!!
  Just misunderstanding with his love preferences and how that evolved was so damn funny. Overall this is an amazing piece of work I would 100% recommend to u all.

  It was a decent read, the story itself was goodish, the style alright, although the soap puns did feel a tad overdone at some point, the world itself and the worldbuilding are on the lesser side of things, mainly because it's somewhat short, ending with 2 volumes, but were sufficient enough at conveying the reality of the characters situation.
  I feel like the finale was a tad... quick. Not rushed per-se, but just quickly completed, likewise with the epilogue, but all in all I'd say it was good enough.
  I'd like to say that it was excellent or better, but it simply wasn't, it was decent, a way to pass some time if you've got time, but far from a must read, or even a recommendation. I simply don't think it carries enough literary value for that, it had decently interesting elements, but their conclusion was, while somewhat well done, insufficient to my expecations. I think that was mainly due to this story ending so early and thus not having more time to elaborate on them.
  That's not to say that the ending we got was bad, quality-wise it held up, but I still feel like there should have been something more to this, like there should have been a grander finale, some whoa moment or other, a wow factor that made it worth it, instead it feels like I followed a line, it was high in quality, sure, but there weren't enough standout features for a recommendation, no spikes or drops in that line, just smoothness.
  And my review has a lot of words that don't mean much, but maybe do, elaborating on nothing to fill the word limit somewhat, which is not to say that I only wrote more to fill that limit, but rather that there are many factors to consider, and that was simply one of them.

  Old businessman suddenly in a baron's son's body in a fantasy world.  Complications ensue, but he tries to get out of them to do what he wants, which is business.  Sometimes that singular focus, and some of his values, don't make sense at first, but give it time.  He's got his reasons.  After all, he lived a long time.  But we get some of his backstory as time goes on.
  Surprisingly comedic at times, which takes some skill.  This is worth binge reading.
  The ending swerves hard, and I felt it was unsatisfying.  It was good up until near the end though.

  I sent my buddy a link to the story at chapter 3, “this is gonna be good!”
  im caught up through c32 and thoroughly enjoyed it so far. The only problem I had was how against fighting he is but I’m reading it for the business if the first place.

  It's good.
  Though, aside from the characters weird way of speaking, you can't really find even the 'R' from respect here. It is non existent, from all of the characters not just the protagonist. Even the word 'mother' as a sign of a little respect is very rare (or was it even mentioned even once? I can't remember). I can at least understand if its only the MC to his family but no, it is to all, and every characters at that. Might be due to authors upbringing. Well, not that it's important. Story is good so I'll continue to read.
