Looking for Showbiz Novels with Plenty of Drama
Entertainment-industry stories with a System, rebirth, or anything else are all fine. I'm not picky, as long as it's set in the entertainment industry.
Looking for Entertainment Industry Stories Where the Male Lead Uses a Secret Identity, Preferably with No Romance
Looking for Sci-Fi Stories with an Unusual Interstellar Worldbuilding. Enough with the Food Deserts!
Looking for books similar to What, Are There Still Federation Citizens Who Don't Play Games? I really like the worldbuilding in What, Are There Still Federation Citizens Who Don't Play Games? It makes a lot of sense. So many interstellar stories portray the future as a culinary wasteland, where some random tomato and egg stir-fry leaves the entire Federation stunned. It's so unrealistic.

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!!!

Showbiz Novels About Writers Who Become Literary Giants
Start with web novels and write in every genre, then move on to essays, modern poetry, traditional literature, the Four Great Classical Novels, classical poetry, and so on. There's so much to write about in China's five thousand years of culture.

I really like this everyday perspective. I've read a lot of plagiarism stories, and most of the protagonists are multi-talented, possessing all kinds of skills: they can compose, sing, dance, act, and film... After seeing so many of these types, I feel they're too exaggerated and I'm a bit tired of this kind of story.
It's clearly very well written! Reading the comments, I thought it was off-topic, but the male protagonist was actually consistently writing songs. The author only wrote about his brief breaks from work, like when he was slacking off and playing games. The balance was great!
It's well-written. Actually, I don't think it would be very appealing as the female lead. I think Tiger is quite good. Maybe consider a dual male lead scenario. 😏
Honestly, I was quite surprised to see such an entertaining book on this platform. It's completely out of step with the platform's mainstream pace, lacking melodramatic plots, clichéd villains, and forced satisfying moments. As a seven-year veteran reader, I've had a really good experience so far.
The writing is good. In the author's note in chapter 28, I saw the author say that the female lead is on her way... Well, if there is a female lead, could the author please indicate it in the synopsis? I thought it was a no-romance story or something 🥺 So I'm giving it 4 stars 😫😫
Having read so many plagiarized entertainment industry novels, this one's protagonist feels the most realistic. There's no exaggerated "I'm awesome just because I have some Earth songs" kind of plot; the local composers are all quite good, and there aren't any lofty, selfless excuses like "for the country" or "for the Chinese music scene."
It's truly a great watch. The main characters have great personalities, there are lots of funny moments, and the story unfolds in a gentle, flowing style. It's so much better than other poorly made and vulgar entertainment. 💕 The low rating is because it just came out (there wasn't a rating when I watched it yesterday).
I'm downgrading this from five stars to four. I read this novel to add to my playlist, but there are just too many other elements. So many chapters and only a handful of songs. And then a random female lead suddenly appears, making the romantic storyline incredibly awkward.
I've read nearly 20 chapters, and it's quite good that there's no hostility or melodrama, but it's also too slice-of-life. The vast majority of it consists of everyday conversations between employees. People who like this style will probably enjoy it, but it's not my cup of tea, so I'll have to say goodbye.
There's no breakup at the beginning, or being heavily in debt. He's rich and good-looking, although he's not a good singer and is terrible at games. But seriously, is this a two-male story or is there a female lead?
