   Books 1, 2, 3, and 4 are all great. The first one, though without a romantic pairing, has a very appealing premise 😋. The second one is about reincarnation; the protagonist debuted five years ago, but was killed by a jealous teammate during the disbandment. In another world, she debuts at 17. Books 3 and 4 are by the same author; all of Charcoal Grilled Beef's talent show novels are excellent. I read the third one on another platform.

    I quite liked all of these books. The first one was an all-love story, but there was a controversy: the protagonist was too kind and honest. There was a part where the villain tried to kill the protagonist, but after being discovered, the protagonist forgave him (though the villain later helped the protagonist). The second one was a no-romance story, but it had some BL elements. The whole thing was sweet with very little angst. It was quite satisfying when the author's pseudonym was revealed. The third one was also an all-love story—super enjoyable! The fourth one had no major flaws and was a no-romance story about a trainee climbing the ranks. This one had detailed stage descriptions. The fifth one was a 1v1 story from the protagonist's perspective—a fast-paced romance with unique trainee stage performances. The sixth one I absolutely loved!! The first book is a "raising" type, no romance. The protagonist is exceptionally talented: a top scorer in the high school entrance exam, a world-class violin youth champion, and his training system is similar to that of TF Entertainment (objective description). The protagonist is also very ambitious, comes from a wealthy family and is practically a domineering CEO, and has many aliases. The seventh book is also an all-around story with a strong plot. The protagonist is a manager (extremely career-driven), and the other male leads are from boy bands. The author's writing is excellent; despite its length, it's easy to read and never gets boring. The eighth book is a 1v1 story, featuring true rivals. The protagonists initially dislike each other, and their online romance leading to a real-life meeting is quite funny. Early on, the protagonist discovers his online crush is the other protagonist, but the other doesn't. One part of this book that really impressed me was when the other protagonist was falsely accused of plagiarism a few days before the group's formation, resulting in a less than ideal final ranking. He could have competed for first place, but ended up debuting fourth, which was a huge disappointment! More books are categorized in my bookshelf: no romance, all romance, 1v1.
