Losing Money to be a Tycoon is a regression series where Pei Qian, who is stuck in a dead-end developer job, travels back 10 years to his university days and is granted a special power. In many series, this power would be a game changer in the regressor's life, but in Losing Money to be a Tycoon, it becomes a struggle and forces Pei Qian to stay on edge daily to meet his quota governed by this special 'system'. As the story progresses, the stakes become higher as Pei Qian's company unintentionally grows to an insurmountable level thanks to his 'bad' business decisions. Will Pei ... Qian satisfy the conditions of the system, or will he fail his quota and be locked out from the system?

Story & Characters: 7/10
I'm convinced this series exists out of pure spite against all the trashy tycoon regression system manhua that exist and also the game studio start-ups run by Gen Z. Losing Money to be a Tycoon doesn't fit the bill as your generic regression system donghua, which makes this series a breath of fresh air. Pei Qian focuses on the next 'big' thing and tries to make it as worse as possible so that he can reap the benefits of failure from the system. With each project he works on, Pei Qian takes as many shortcuts and terrible design decisions to ruin the chances of success but ends up with fanatics following his every move. This style of development, although repetitive, is a recipe for great comedy, and it does not fail with its over-the-top colorful character reactions, outlandish internal monologue, and absurd character dialogues. Apart from the story, the characters are fairly shallow in depth compared to Pei Qian, but they aren't the main focus in this particular series anyway.

Art & Sound: 6/10
The art isn't too bad in quality; the animation is very poor and, in some cases, feels more like slideshows because only the mouth is moving - literally just the mouth is moving back and forth between two or three frames. The colors are more on the vibrant side, and they even use gradients and shading to a good degree on characters, so it's understandable why the animation is tanking. I am more than satisfied with the visuals since this isn't a series where action scenes are needed, and there isn't much importance in character movement apart from video games/close-up shots.

The background music is very iconic; there is always a single theme song playing whenever Pei Qian makes a business decision that is very soothing to listen to when he breaks down his ideas for the next big thing. The voice acting is fairly decent but not high quality by any means, and the same can be said for the sound effects and music; they are very limiting in terms of variety and suitability.

Overall & Enjoyment: 6/10
I enjoyed this series for what it was, a light-hearted comedy with no unique plot or characters, and you should too. What they could have improved on is character development/retention; There were some very interesting characters throughout the series that were thrown out once they were done with satisfying the story. I think this is where it fails in comparison to series like "Saiki-K" which maintains its character connections throughout. Overall, it was a decent comedy series with a lot of entertainment factor behind it and even more potential to grow from season 1.

Preliminary (8/16 eps)

Losing Money to Be a Tycoon presents a fascinating twist on the typical rags-to-riches narrative, it offers a captivating journey through the unconventional world of Pei Qian, an ordinary office worker thrust into an extraordinary situation, back to a time when he was still a broke college student . With its blend of humor, strategy, and unexpected challenges, this donghua kept me engaged throughout the series.

At its core, the series explores the age-old adage of "money makes money" but with a clever and unexpected twist. Instead of striving for profit, Pei Qian finds himself navigating a world where success is measured by losses. This ...
