Synopsis

[Showbiz]+ [Boy Band]+ [Top-Tier Idol]+ [Ensemble Cast]+ [Survival Show]+ [Forum Posts]+ [Unreal Looks]+ [Korean Entertainment-Inspired]

(I’m really not good at writing blurbs. Feel free to click in and have a look!)

Jiang Yunqi was unlucky enough to get into a car accident. When he woke up, he had been reborn as a trainee preparing to compete on an international survival show in Han Guo. The problem was, he couldn’t remember anything! (His memories will slowly return.)

But there was nothing to be done. He had already signed the contract, and if he had the chance to do it all again, he would still take on the world and become its brightest star.

Still, what was the original owner’s deal? His health was bad, and his relationships with people were just... hard to describe.

His parents didn’t love him, his friends betrayed him, and his company went bankrupt.

He was practically hated by everyone... but how could someone with the face of a top-tier idol be treated like that?

Oh well, first things first: pack his bags and go compete.

Note: Korean entertainment survival show, with a tragic yet satisfying story about a beautiful, strong protagonist. No romance for the protagonist, but the fans in the story ship characters, so feel free to ship whoever you like. Lots of forum posts.

Volume One covers the survival show, and Volume Two covers the group’s debut. This is a long novel.

Advantages: 1. The audition portion is incredibly engaging, and the forum and bullet comments are super fun, giving it a very realistic K-pop feel. Honestly, stories with a K-pop audition background feel more compelling than those with a fictional Chinese entertainment audition background.

This is a really good talent show novel, I support it! Xiao Jiang is all-star! However, some of the exciting moments weren't quite right. It felt like the plot, which should have been more exciting, wasn't as enjoyable; it just ended abruptly after the beginning. It's like playing a game where you have to stop playing.

It's great! 🥰 But why is the rating so low? It's not even 9 points, that shouldn't be the case. I almost missed it! 🥺 I stayed up two nights straight to finish it, it's so good! This is one of only two boy band novels I've been able to get into (the other one is by JJ Lin). After finishing it, I realized I've become a fangirl (of course, more of a fangirl for Yun).

I highly recommend this novel. I eagerly anticipate each new chapter's development. The updates are incredibly frequent, twice a day, with occasional bonus chapters—the author truly cherishes their readers. 1. The plot is well-structured and realistic, avoiding any anachronistic elements.

I really think it's so well-written, I love it so much! I'm super excited for the reveal later on. I hope the company will treat the group better, and I hope that even if the protagonist starts his own company later, he can still be with the group members. Although I know it's unlikely that everyone will be under the protagonist's company, I still dream about it.

I have to say it's incredibly good, highly recommended. However, regarding the plot... Well... It feels like life becomes too perfect towards the end. And actually, I have a personal urge—maybe I haven't finished reading it yet—but I really want to see them discover the protagonist's painful past experiences, hehe. Anyway, highly recommended!

Based on what I've seen so far, the author's writing deserves a five-star rating. I'm deducting one star because of my personal preference; I don't really like the idea of being reborn in the original world. If I were reborn in the original world, I couldn't help but feel sorry for the male protagonist's career before his rebirth.

The protagonist is my type—a super beauty, haha! Her abilities are also incredibly well-rounded, but I think she could also develop her talent in songwriting and composing. Although she's a bit overpowered, I really love original works that are vividly described and immersive. Teacher, would you like to give it a try? I feel your writing style could achieve that.

So far, I'm enjoying it. The logic is sound, the pacing is fast, and everything that needs to be explained is clearly stated. I particularly like the two main characters (C and C), and the author has done a lot of character development for them, with some foreshadowing. Another character that really stood out was the self-proclaimed number one royal at the beginning (I'm sorry, I forgot his name).
