This is a very good novel. Here are some of my more objective evaluations: First, the novel has a relatively rigorous logic and is based on some facts. It's not entirely made up. The incident mentioned by other readers, where the protagonist was arrested by the police, wasn't entirely baseless. Arresting someone based on just a few clues wasn't without some investigation.
I really like this kind of story so far. There are no mindless face-slapping plots (I hope there will be fewer of these later on), and there are no ambiguous romantic relationships between the main character and multiple people (absolutely no more!!!!). Keep up the good work, author!
Who wrote such a great book? I'm really urging for more updates! It's so good and satisfying to read. The "main editor" is super professional. It's a powerful collaboration. Things start to get interesting when the protagonist is suspected of being a high-priority observation target. The plot, especially the crime-solving variety show aspect, is engaging and avoids clichés.
It's so good! \(//∇//)\ I highly recommend this book. If you like stories with a subtle sense of ambiguity between two male leads, you should check it out. (Note: I'm not sure if it's a dual male lead story, but it's described in a slightly ambiguous way, so many people are shipping them. I haven't read that much myself, but it's really just something I enjoy in my own little world.)
This is amazing! At first, I thought the protagonist was incredible, but then I saw the latest chapter. Gu Fei is so cool! It's not just his looks; he can brainwash himself, all for the sake of avenging his mother. He's been silent, putting on a show for everyone. It's incredible. At first, I really thought he was just a clown, but he delivered a fatal blow to everyone.
Excellent! 1. There's a suspected male-male pairing, featuring a movie star. The movie star is unabashedly interested in the lead actor, though not explicitly stated. He's seen sending gifts during live streams and generating buzz. The movie star is simply a handsome guy.
This book is totally my cup of tea! Finding it when I was looking for something to read made me so happy. I love the male lead, whether he's acting or traveling with friends on variety shows. He's especially good at cooking; it's like a perfect combination of the cooking and acting genres I love.
I accidentally clicked on a novel, and wow, this novel is amazing! It completely exceeded my expectations; it feels like I've struck gold. Personal summary, contains spoilers, proceed with caution: The protagonist was originally a struggling actor who encountered a system that could improve his acting skills (the beginning of this part is rather cliché, but the later parts are quite novel).
(Minor spoilers) At first, I thought it was a fairly standard book. But later, after seeing the police officers' cautious assessment and examination of his abilities after he was arrested, I realized something was off. He's a bit exaggerated in some aspects. For example, there's a police officer who seems to have overthought things, but perhaps not really.
It's alright, no major red flags, the risqué elements are decent, and the values are quite positive. The author is a character; female fans rack their brains but can't compete with a straight man's quick wit. Later on, the author writes beautifully, gradually letting loose and expressing himself freely.
