Synopsis

In 1997, Japan was in a slump following the collapse of its economic bubble. People said the golden age of the entertainment industry had vanished along with the bubble economy. Then she appeared. She was a ratings phenomenon, the queen of Japanese TV dramas, a Grand Slam-winning actress, and the performer who defined an era. When talking about Japan, there was no way to leave her out. She was a monument to the entertainment industry, and a legend of her time. [Note] A fictional Japanese entertainment industry in a parallel world. The timeline of events in the story and the characters’ ages may be changed. Names of characters based on real people will be replaced with homophones. Their personalities and actions have nothing to do with the real people. There will be original entertainment-industry characters and heavily adapted scripts. I know next to nothing about Japan, so please forgive any mistakes. I’ve never been to Japan, don’t follow celebrities, and don’t follow Japanese entertainment. I have no particular preferences. And, I love China!! Theme: Acting is about becoming a better version of yourself

Can’t Put It Down 4

A little of everything, not many dealbreakers. Mostly anime fanfiction and derivative works, not many originals; lots of romance with some no-CP and a little pure love. Green River keeps glitching, so I'm making another list for recent reads. Because of Green River's issues, all four stars????
