Showbiz Stories About Singers
I've recently gotten into novels about singers and the entertainment industry. Ideally, the songs shouldn't be too old. I'm young, so I haven't heard them. (⋟﹏⋞) Please recommend a few, preferably male-oriented novels. I'm not into female-oriented ones. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Not bad The advantage is that the protagonist doesn't have the so-called "protagonist halo," and it tells the story of an ordinary person struggling in the entertainment industry, which feels quite realistic. It also has many drawbacks. First, the protagonist's personality is too conflicted, and the twists and turns the protagonist encounters in the story are too numerous and somewhat forced.
The author's books have a sense of realism, and the protagonist's thoughts are very much in line with the character of an ordinary person.
It's simple and quite readable. The author excels at portraying ordinary people, but there hasn't been a climax yet, and the protagonist isn't particularly outstanding. It's hard to imagine how he could make a name for himself in the entertainment industry with his current circumstances.
Hehe, sure! Write more, I love reading! 🙂 I've finished the first two books, and I'm immediately moving on to this one. It's just too short, not enough!
That's true, quite realistic, and relatable. If you have interests, someone will scheme against you; there's always someone stepping on the weak and praising the strong—that's reality. Many time-travel stories use songs that later became popular, and everyone who hears them is amazed, convinced they're destined for stardom. But that's impossible in reality.
This is the entertainment industry novel I've read where the supporting characters have the most normal intelligence. Therefore, many people might find the protagonist's story frustrating. However, thank you to the author for using their brain in writing; this is a relatively realistic portrayal of the world. 👍 I hope the author's next book is just as excellent.
The writing is very restrained, without any so-called "golden finger" (advantageous plot device); the author has already reached the top tier in just a few chapters. The current pace gives me the feeling of an ordinary person trying to break into the entertainment industry, which is very relatable. 😆😆😆😆😆
The protagonist possesses a strange, overconfident confidence typical of time travelers. He inexplicably gets into conflicts with people, gets sidelined, and then a new agent starts working for him. Knowing the director is a fraud, he deliberately watches the director swindle money and run away, as if watching a story unfold, even finding it somewhat novel afterward.
Tomato's writing style is unique, understated, and logical.
This book truly belongs to the genre of novels about ordinary people who transmigrate. Those stories where the transmigrator remembers and can recite everything—songs, movies, even the most obscure details—that's just nonsense. Remembering only 1/3, with 2/3 missing, is the norm; that's what makes it realistic.
