The protagonist fights with a saber and trains their body. There should be levels to the saber path. The pacing can be fast or slow, but the protagonist should be decisive and ruthless, and not a womanizer.

It seems the author was deeply involved in the fandom before and is now in a semi-detached state, so they are very familiar with the rhetoric and tactics of the fandom. Without any filters, they can write very fairly about praising, criticizing, pretending to praise, pretending to criticize, pretending to be objective, pretending to be a bystander, etc.
The plot is decent, although the writing is sometimes a bit disorganized and hard to understand, but only slightly so and doesn't detract from the overall experience. The author has some feminist consciousness, but also uses terms like "debut work" and "sugar daddy," and there's a high proportion of male characters, with many good guys, especially the agent and the company executive/coal boss, who have relatively more screen time.
Haha, you can tell the author has genuinely been a fan of celebrities, experienced their downfall, and felt heartbroken (just kidding). The fan culture rhetoric, tactics, artists' schedules, filming schedules, etc., Are all written very realistically, making it very relatable. Even though I'm not a fan, I still enjoyed reading it.
Well, the author seems to be well-versed in fan culture, as if they've had experience with Kuku's idol-chasing. The female lead's awakening is amazing! The original female lead's luck has returned! Awesome!!! (Automatic image: Shen Teng's meme image)
I know absolutely nothing about the entertainment industry; the only variety show I've ever watched is Running Man. To be honest, this show is very entertaining for someone like me who's not in the know. It's somewhat like general entertainment, but definitely different. The plot progression is fine, but personally, I feel there's too much writing and the timeline gets confusing.
The writing is good, but it feels too in-depth and professional (in the entertainment industry?). There are so many technical terms, so many new and old jokes. As an outsider, I can only roughly guess what the author is trying to say based on stream of consciousness. Half of a sentence doesn't immediately reveal its specific meaning; I can only guess the author's attitude.
I absolutely love this kind of steady, unassuming female lead. Unlike those stories that are clearly meant to be gossip but end up being the source of all the fun, filled with endless worries and troubles – life is already stressful enough, and these novels don't offer any respite.
This book is probably the most anticipated and ideal scenario for our idol, hahaha. No romance, focused solely on career, with an aesthetic sense for choosing dramas, directors, screenwriters, and costumes, and with the agent, boss, and himself all on the same page. A grand slam in film and television, everything goes smoothly—it's truly an ideal state, hahaha. But it's so difficult in reality.
It's quite good. I'll give the author some encouragement. It's a rare story that focuses on the entertainment industry and career development, without any of that messy stuff like live-streaming romance shows.
This is the best forum-style novel I've seen on Tomato Literature. The propaganda battles are meticulously crafted, and its professionalism surpasses 90% of Tomato's entertainment industry novels. The author is clearly a seasoned fan. If there are any shortcomings, it's that most of the character portrayals are somewhat bland, and the writing style is still a bit immature, but it's above average for Tomato Literature. Overall, it's a great read!!
