This is not a cultivation novel or levelling cheat stuff. This novel is about the MC reincarnated into a different world but similar to earth (around 1920s) the 2 superpower nation in this world is the federation (ruled by capitalist) and gevra (ruled by nobility). MC reincarnate to a lower class poor person in one of the slum of federation and he tries to gain power by using his previous life knowledge. MC will rely on his intellect and scheme/intrigue power to manipulate and gain status, wealth, and power. He will be doing a lot of illegal stuff, assassinations and creating businesses. There would also be political confrontation and capitalist predatory.

Spoiler

Blackstone is actually a name for his business consortium in the future which the core is finance, technology, and military industrial complex. His end goal is to create a New World Order (NWO) based on the federation currency and plunder all the world wealth through his central banking cartel with his allies.

Review from ~ Ckrasu

I have to say, while I had some suspension of disbelief moments, overall the story is pretty well done, with actions and consequence that makes sense, and the way the MC manipulates the situations to his advantage are always great.

World building is pretty good, giving enough details to understand the overall situation, without feeling like info dumps like in most other stories.

The characters overall are also very well done, with no cookie cutter characters so far, everyone is acting for their own interest and it's great how everyone fits together.

The story follows the life of Lin Qi (Lynch in earlier translations) rose from poverty to the position of power. Our MC is a person with abundant life experiences and well defined life values. He relies on guile and financial expertise while skirting the law in the name of profit. He is for better or worse a perfect a con-man.

Blackstone Code took place on a parallel world of 1920s in a world bereft of magic. Industrialization was at its peaks, but consumption slowed down and the market saturated. Economic depression looms over the ~~United States~~ Federation. The bitter taste of war still lingers within the public consciousness. Here, a perfect agent of chaos - Lin Qi - transmigrated.

The novel surprisingly took a different approach from the other "economical genius." Lin Qi does not grow money through inheritance or sheer luck. He took note of business around him, learn their bottleneck, and provide them with the solutions. He had multiple conflicts with other characters that risk his "business" go under but managed to liquidate the problems through legal means. He is - by his own word - a good law abiding citizen.
