The best works always come from personal experience. Here too the author writes about what he himself experienced. The behavior of the characters and how people become gambling addicts are very realistic here. Gambling addiction here is even more realistic than in other works about gambling, but at the same time not as grim and grotesque as in works about the yakuza. Well, initially everything was like this, but then the author begins to pay more attention to Mochiko. Often enough to ask questions like “why are the other characters still friends with her?” and “why did she become successful in trading in the first place?” You see, Mochiko is the biggest bitch in history. Mochiko can even compete with Griffith for this title. She does not evoke sympathy in the reader. Not a bit. At all. She is the embodiment of the proverb homo homini lupus. Firstly, she advertises a real casino to each of her friends. An analogy for this would be a drug dealer friend who offers everyone a free dose, hoping it will ruin their life. Moreover, she advises very unreliable rates. In the first chapters, Mochiko, at Kurumi’s first successes, advises her to invest money in the very unstable jpy/aud rate in the hope that Kurumi will lose everything. It’s as if a person who owns Bitcoin advised buying Trumpcoin. Secondly, Mochiko believes that she has the moral right to teach others about life. Bitch, just because you were bullied doesn't give you the right to lend a girl from an ordinary family two million yen with an interest rate of 109.5, and then advise her to work in a brothel. She didn't do anything to you, so why are you doing this to her. And you weren’t even bullied so cruelly that you became angry at the whole world. Thirdly, the fact that she was able to make money on futures is unrealistic. You can look at statistics on the Internet, the vast majority of people lose money on this and only one percent comes out with the same amount they came with. Yep, technical analysis, books, all this is one big deception so that people continue to bring money to the brokers. And what’s worst is that even in slots you have a better chance of ending up with the same money you brought in than in trading. Literally. Statistically, slot sites get rich thanks to transaction fees and the three to four percent of people who lose. The other 96 percent don't lose money.
