    I give books I dropped usually another go after a while. Maybe I will have a better time getting into it then. Can I ask you whether or not there will be a more “normal story structure” later on?

      Can you tell me how far you read and what happened? Not very detailed.

      Been a while since I read them and my memory is a bit hazy.

      But there will come a more normal type story that facilitates the worlds happenings.

      It will stay with the financial jargon tho.

      Also, can you tell me how I put spoiler tags in lemmy?

        What I’ve read were almost only setup. Things like “my stand in bought bank X and we wrote it off to insure division Y. Ha, I saved the job of the son of my maid but I need to build up my foreign offshore account to save the economy. I guess I will have them buy up the other bank and have the bad debt moved to the government. Three done. I’m a genius!”. All this is mostly delivered by inner monologue or by the narrator. There were very little character interaction that wasn’t just implied. No dialogue between characters.

        I do spoilers by marking the text in question and then clicking on the little exclamation mark in the triangle in the text field. The syntax written out it looks like this:

        ::: spoiler spoiler
        Text

          That will stay a big part of it.

          She will have more dialogue with her school friends, which is partly about financial stuff due to their heritages, but also normal conversation, building up their characters and having slight character development. Other important characters will be introduced.

          Now to the actual coming story. I will try to be as basic as I can. but for me the financial monologue stuff explaining what happens is actually the main appeal.

          Very Basic plot points for vol 1 and 2

          spoiler

          Her Romanov bloodline will become more imortant. She may get kidnapped by someone. Her insane investments and net worth gain international fame, leading her to be under a lot of scrutiny by certain institutions. She will also gain another kind of fame.

            Thanks. Next time I try it I’ll try to get to the story part at least.
