The male protagonist's character is so satisfying! He's a blatant scumbag, never compromising himself, and ruthlessly uses every means to acquire resources and benefits as stepping stones to his own advancement. The feeling of having everything centered around himself is so satisfying. Plus, the way male protagonists are written in female-oriented novels is different from male-oriented ones.
I finished reading it. The male lead's character is great; and the author's writing of the play-within-a-play is very delicate and immersive. The only downside is that it's too short. Could the author please update ten chapters a day? 😘😘
Falling in love with Brother Ting is a piece of cake, a scumbag yet charming male protagonist... I feel like the author is very daring in her writing; some of her other books are a bit like that, wanting to have it all... I'm left feeling stuck, like the frustration of getting on a bus only to find it's a baby bus.
It's really good!! The male lead is a rare, charming and charismatic character who prioritizes his own interests and appears ruthless yet affectionate. It's very well written, not at all greasy! On the contrary, it has a kind of cheesy romance feel, like the kind of romance in old novels, but it also fits the current aesthetic.
Absolutely brilliant and original, no substitutes! Most protagonists in entertainment industry stories have a strong sense of moral purity, and so-called scandals can't even get them dirty. But this story is different. She/He fearlessly wallows in the mire of fame and fortune. It possesses the charm of both the subject and the object.
A super good-looking scumbag male lead, the character is well-developed. Actually, I'm a little interested in seeing wealthy female fans and forum discussions, like some industry insiders eyeing the male lead... The author can decide the proportion of these elements. The wealthy female fans providing stable support from behind the scenes, helping with promotion, running errands, and throwing money at him—their lives getting entangled—could be depicted a bit darker. These are just some ideas 🥰🥰🥰
It's good. I haven't seen such a pure scumbag male lead in a long time, as you can tell from the length of time I've read it. But I can't imagine how this kind of male lead will achieve a happy ending with multiple female leads. He's such a scumbag, I feel like it would be more enjoyable without any romantic pairings. But I'll just write it according to the author's own ideas. So far, it's been good.
This is really well-written! I hope the author can keep updating for a long time. I want to see the male lead's status rise, he become less bullied and have more choices, and ideally, he'll get revenge on those who kicked him when he was down 😄. This initial setting feels like it could be a quick transmigration story. I hope this world ends and the author can still find another story, a long one! 🥰
This is SO SO good! The writing and character development are way above average for this author. I absolutely love this unique, melancholic style; it's not a formulaic plot. It's exhilarating to read, yet often tinged with bittersweetness. The tragic heroine is so captivating! The main character is so compelling; I stayed up all night to finish it. Author, we love you! 💕💕
So good! I love it! An immersive male-centric experience of a scumbag protagonist in the entertainment industry!! The protagonist struggles to emerge from an eight-year-long dark period of being sidelined, developing a cold and clear-headed personality. He knows exactly what he wants, and his scumbag nature is crystal clear.
