The novel is great and all that. But I didn't like it. In the end, the MC is nothing more than a salaried employee, nothing more. Throughout the novel, we see how the MC charts the course for Sega's financial operations to avoid the financial crisis and make a fortune from it, but that's only better for the company, so what does that have to do with him? Then he creates an internet company with great future potential, but of course, he makes the internet company a wholly owned subsidiary of Sega. If it later becomes a unicorn, what does he have to do with it? We never find out what percentage of Sega's shares his father owns, but from what we know in reality, it should be around 3% or something like that. But they never mention it in the novel. I mean, the novel is great and all, but in the end, the MC is just a salaried employee and nothing more. I would have preferred that the MC started his own video game company, making money, trading on the stock market, and waiting for Sega to go bankrupt so that, with his father's help, he could acquire it, but no... just a simple employee. Yes, he's practically Sega's SEO, but so what? The "chaebol," or whatever they're called in Japan, which owns about 80% of the shares, can just tell the MC to get lost and fire him for any reason. Because at the end of the day, the MC is just a regular employee. 美利堅：遊戲製作教父, this is a much better novel in that regard, and it's set in the United States when Atari goes bankrupt with the E.T. game.
