Hii.... I don't expect to gain much answers in this thread but I just want to ask if you knew a novel that has a female protagonist that is focus on making money. She usually started from the bottom of the food chain but reached the top because of her own strenght. I prefer slow romance (almost to the point of non-existent is also good). But, no romance is okay. All in all I want the novel to focus on her journey to riches and her making a lot of friends. Some of the novels I have read that I can remember: Reincarnation Of The Businesswoman At School Space and Rebirth: The Favored Genius Doctor and Businesswoman But I'll try to mention the others if I can. Whether if it's good or bad please let me know. I want to be the judge. (Though its okay if you express your opinions so I may know what to prioritize) Thank you in advance!
"Mochiron, Isharyōseikyū Itashimasu!" is the only novel that I can recommend to you. It's not quite fit in your description, but I found it enjoyable to read.
I just finished "Transmigrated into a Parvenu’s Ex-wife in the ‘90s" which might fit ur bill. I started it for the childcare tag but it honestly focused on money making more. she did get her starting capital from her ex-husband (how she got it is quite interesting) but building up her business is all her effort.
“Common sense of a duke’s daughter” “Rebirths junior high school the excelling top student goddess” “Transmigrated into a Parvenu’s Ex-wife in the ‘90s” Those don’t fit your description 100% but are some I can think of that have at least some of the elements. My favorite by far is the last one but the others are okay too.
