Disregard Fantasy, Acquire Currency 2: Disregard Fantasy, Acquire Currency, Book 2
After establishing the Society of Assured Prosperity and successfully disguising his insurance business as a charity, Willem heads to the capital of the kingdom to expand into a new market... and partly to comply with the king's order, who intends to host a grand livestock exhibit to find a suitable groom for his only daughter.
The grand prize winner becomes heir to the kingdom, but Willem's only king is cash, and he doesn't intend to muck about with politics.
As Willem barrels on with entrepreneurial spirit, he comes to vacillate between prioritizing the health of his portfolio and that of his new family, who adopted him at the ripe mental age of 87. On the one hand, the family can speak and socialize, but on the other, he can't remove underperformers with impunity.
Money's not the key to happiness, but it's enough to get a key made.

Willem: A Masterclass in Chaotic Neutrality
Disregard Fantasy shatters the tropes, delivering a perspective that is radically removed from your typical Isekai adventure.
At its core, Disregard Fantasy, Acquire Currency succeeds because it replaces the typical hero's journey with Willem, a protagonist whose single-minded obsession with capital makes him the ultimate anti-hero of the genre. He isn’t motivated by grand destinies; he operates in a chaotic neutral gray area where moral grandstanding takes a backseat to having fun reading ledgerlines and manipuating an inefficient market to make a profit. Yet, beneath the profit-driven exterior lies a jagged moral code, one born from the haunting influence of a past life, defined by an eccentric wife and the tragic loss of both her and their one-year-old child. This added depth makes for a distinctly unpredictable read that focuses less on the standard quest storyline and more on creating a new, not so slice-of-life adventure.

Disregard Currency, Acquire Fantasy.
Compared to the first book, business did take the backseat in this one and fantasy was a definite focus.
Honestly, I would have liked a fantasy story more focused on merchantry elements, but this was a fun little duology. Atleast it seems like the story concluded by the end of this book.
I would highly recommend this series, especially if you like the other works by Nemorosus.

I liked it for the most part, the FMC sleeps with another man in this one so just heads up, it's just a throw away sentence, but may turn some away. The ending also felt like the MC threw away all the gains he made and made an enemy of an entire state...Just made it feel like a waste of time a bit, he's in a worse place in some ways then the start of this series...

Fast paced but enjoyable
I enjoyed the second book, though it was really fast paced near the end. Not sure if the ending is meant to be a conclusion, or if the series will continue, but it ends at good spot either way

Disregard currency, indulge in fantasy
Bill Gates the ascetic monk enacts liberal reforms and saved everyone.
The fantasy parts (magic, creatures...) are fun but in the end, the protagonist personal power ended up more important than all the business building.
3.5 out of 5

Great book
Stellar work once again from Nemorosus! Lots of business and magic, monsters and excitement. Looking forward to reading what's next.
