A Must-Read For Every Dreamer
"Faris is not your typical perfect hero. At the beginning, he is poor but brilliant, and he genuinely hates his poverty. That anger makes him real. He pours everything into his app Falcon, so when his boss steals it and claims it as his own, it hurts like it was our own hard work being stolen. What makes this book special is his character development. He goes from a boy who hates where he comes from, to a man who fights for his worth and takes back what is his. That journey from insecurity to confidence was written so well. Satisfying, inspiring, and emotional. Could not put it down. Highly recommended!"
A Captivating Journey from Poverty to Success
"Faris’s rags-to-riches journey is one of the best stories I’ve read on Short Story Gems. From the very beginning, his hatred toward his parents and the struggles of growing up in poverty immediately pull you into his story. What makes the journey truly emotional and heartbreaking is the ending. Faris eventually has everything he once dreamed of, but he no longer has his parents to witness his success. That contrast makes his achievement feel both triumphant and painfully bittersweet. Even reaching the top came with sacrifices, including giving up the love he had for Rania. His journey beautifully shows that success can come at a tremendous personal cost. An emotional, heartbreaking, and captivating story that I would definitely recommend giving a read."
Just right up my alley. I enjoyed dramatic entrepreneurial tales .
"What makes Faris such a compelling protagonist is his relentless drive: balancing elite academics, working at a mobile shop, and navigating intense family hardship—all while keeping his sights set on rewriting his destiny. The narrative hits all the right high-stakes beats of a true entrepreneur's journey, from high-risk opportunities to the sheer resilience needed to break through systemic barriers. An emotionally charged read for anyone who appreciates the hustle, high stakes, and complex sacrifices behind modern innovation—highly recommended all the way to the last page."

Fariss

Gripping
"I have only read the first chapter so far. But I hope to get back to finishing off the rest of the story. I found the first chapter very gripping. I could very much relate to the main protagonist, simply because in my own way I have been where he's been. Well similar, nto exactly alike. But I can relate and that is the most important thing. The writing is most excelent. Good story development and good characterisation and I dfinitely will look forward to finishing reading teh rest of teh story, as soon as I am able to do so."
my review
"I haven't completed it but the beginning makes sense and it's not something I can guess so it's nice. Keep it up"

A great story that I truly enjoyed :)
"I really enjoyed reading your story as it was truly realistic! It had a very satisfying ending and great character development for Faris as he finally realised that wealth isn't everything, although it is important. To me, it serves as a reminder that we should treasure what we have while we still have it and still prove others wrong despite the difficulties in your life. The story was well-structured as the chapters remained suspenseful each time and had a few unexpected plot twists (although I didn't have to wait to find out as I read it all now, it was still very well-written and would have caused me to return each time a new chapter was submitted)! The only reason why I rated the technical writing skills 4 stars was because at times, I think it was mainly chapter 2 or 3 but I'm not sure, there was missing punctuation for some of the dialogue or sentences, but they were minor errors that didn't really impact my reading. I'm sure any other stories you write will be just as amazing! "
