    All three books are incredibly strong. The first one is about the female protagonist returning to China and debuting through a talent show again; the second one is also about her debuting through a talent show; and the third is a fanfiction about her debuting alongside Blackpink. Each book features a female protagonist with her own unique characteristics. But the one thing they all have in common is their exceptional quality.

    This is my first book, so it's a bit slow-paced with lots of everyday interactions. Please forgive any inexperience. It features multiple female leads, primarily Girls' Generation, with Yoona as the main heroine. The male lead will become a chaebol in Korea and later send Girls' Generation and T-ara to China to develop their careers. [What?]

    These are all domestic entertainment industry novels, and I read them all one by one. The writing is decent. There are also two talent show novels, one of which has a system, but the system's involvement is minimal. The rest are about acting, all starting with small roles. None of them are finished yet. We'll have to wait for the author to update slowly.
