Be happy with sports
3 - Webnovel says completed, but novel does not feel completed. It ends during matches. MC has come a long way though and is very succesful in baseball and very rich at the end. I liked it and would have liked it to continue. Give it 3 stars because it doesn't feel finished.
MC went 30 years back in time from age 40 to age 10, so I assume it starts in the 80s/90s. Starts way before crash of internet bubble which happened around 1999 and 2000. MC makes a lot of money by speculating on this. Has MC playing with famous baseball players that really exist.

He has spent half his life working hard for his family. Although he has achieved success in his career, he has never seriously enjoyed life.
