Looking for Entertainment Industry Stories. No Getting Hated by the Whole Internet from the Start, and No Impersonation, Please
No Female Lead!! Truly No Female Lead, No Romance, Read Carefully!!
Don’t recommend ongoing stories with heroines. If a story isn’t finished and doesn’t say it has no heroine, ask the author whether there is one first. For "I Became Invincible After Rejecting the System", the author said it has one heroine, so absolutely do not recommend it. The requester really will get mad.
No Romance, No Romance, No Romance, No Romance, No Romance
Quick transmigration, transmigration, reborn, farming, showbiz, food, raising kids, anything goes. The main thing is no CP, and it must be complete. Thanks!
Quick Transmigration from a Male POV, Absolutely Amazing. I've Read It Three Times, Haha
Looking for books like Quick Transmigration: A Manual for Reforming Scumbags.
Idol Competition Stories That’ll Leave You Awestruck
I do not want stories that become popular purely through comedy. And no things like splitting bricks with a suona either. They feel too contrived.
Showbiz, Goofy Comedy, Variety Shows, No Soap-Opera Drama or Brain-Dead Plotting
I’m looking for something set in the entertainment industry with variety-show segments. It should be really fun, but not just trying to be funny for its own sake. The plot should make sense, and the heroine shouldn’t be a naive pushover.
I've Recently Gotten Into Female-Oriented Showbiz Novels. Please Recommend Some!
Showbiz
Any No-Romance Stories About Boy Bands? I Really Can't Accept Idols Dating
Looking for a No-CP Idol Story About a Stunningly Handsome Top Star
Something like the JJ novel The Sacrificial Prince in the Boy Group Auditions and the Tomato novel I Got a Cheat During My Trainee Career. Lots of forum-style posts, with every fan being a solo stan. Anyone who ships a pairing gets accused of mooching off them and flamed. The protagonist should be miles ahead in every way and be called the group's main character.
What's Going On with Entertainment Fiction? Looking for Good Reads
Looking for books similar to "The Entertainment Industry’s Number One Sugar Baby". Please recommend something good. Everything else is just the same old plot repeated over and over. If you’re going to repeat things, at least give us something interesting! What’s happened to entertainment-industry novels? They can’t all revolve around Yang Mi and Dilraba Dilmurat...
Looking for Entertainment Industry Stories Where a Woman Becomes a Man

What a shallow pit! I finished it all in one go. To be honest, this book doesn't really feel like Tomato's writing style. It's not flashy or formulaic, and the early setup is quite long, but I really liked it. I finished it without even realizing it. It doesn't start with a talent show; instead, it's a gradual process, showing him building something from nothing.
This book is good; it's a breath of fresh air in this sea of systems, with no cheat codes. Besides explaining that it's a soul-transmigration story, it doesn't give the protagonist any knowledge or skill points, so there are no scenes of copying songs, dances, or musical instruments. Also, a heads-up: it's a super slow-burn story. It's mostly slice-of-life.
I became interested in this book because of popular recommendations from book reviewers. I found it very realistic, mainly because the plot is quite normal, really normal, and it even has some tropes I like. There are conflicts, but also harmonious moments, which feels very real. The protagonist has strong execution and analytical abilities; he's just incredibly impressive.
Male authors might suddenly become greasy or use cheesy tropes, but their writing is still decent. Detox: After withdrawing from the talent show, the protagonist plans to form his own group. One member of the group is incredibly weak; he had numerous girlfriends during his trainee days, and his few redeeming qualities are his young age (one year older than the protagonist) and his good relationship with him. He completely treats his fans like enemies. 🙂
Personally, I really enjoyed this book. Having read many entertainment industry novels, perhaps those were too smoothly written, making it seem so easy? I know the protagonists are hardworking, handsome, and talented, but maybe I just rarely see the production team, directors, and various power struggles depicted. This book's pacing is relatively slow.
Who understands? Finally, someone who doesn't rely on a system and can easily win the championship! Finally, a character who climbs the ladder through hard work—it's really engaging! Keep up the good work, author!!
I've reached chapter 79. It's a slow-burn story with good setup, a richer plot, and well-developed characters. Even the supporting characters are distinctive, not simply black and white, and not overly aggressive or constantly fighting. You can really appreciate the charm of the boy band idols the author portrays.
It's not overly dramatic or features any special abilities. Although the protagonist comes from a poor family, he's incredibly ambitious and hardworking (though it feels exhausting). The satisfying moments of his progress are well-done. While watching, I was worried the protagonist might encounter dirty dealings, as I dislike feelings of helplessness (especially in the entertainment industry).
I read it all the way to the last chapter in one go. Overall, it's a pretty good book, but the protagonist seems a bit too repressed, always being suppressed. Also, regarding the characters, I'm really worried about Zhou's relationship being a plot hole; isn't it an ironclad rule that idols can't date?
Following along... The plot isn't just mindless wish-fulfillment; the main character is down-to-earth, and most of the supporting characters have their own distinct personalities. I hope to see more talent show novels with ensemble casts like this! (It feels like I'm back to watching talent shows!) Keep it up, author! 👍👍👍
