[Showbiz] Have I Debuted Today?

Second version of the blurb:

I really don’t know how to write blurbs, so here’s a quick rundown of what to expect.

The first part of this book is about a laid-back girl being tormented by the System (ae) as she struggles to debut in aespa. She faces plenty of setbacks along the way, but also receives lots of heartwarming encouragement.

Early highlights: working hard to debut + simulator + pseudo-incest.

Mid-to-late highlights: her development within aespa + multiple male love interests + manipulative sickos generating buzz by hand.

Before you read:

1. Idol scandals are always confirmed; positive news is indirectly confirmed.

2. This is a fictional novel, so don’t conflate it with reality.

3. The author updates daily and will take a leave of absence when needed.

First version of the blurb:

K-pop + simulator + aespa’s fifth member + pseudo-incest plotline

(I’m terrible at writing blurbs, but readers have told me the pseudo-incest plotline feels very convincing...)

After staying up all night for a week, college student Chen Yali accepted a friend’s invitation to a K-pop dance challenge. She passed out during “Black Mamba” for health reasons, and when she woke up, she found herself in Korea, in an orphanage.

On her twelfth birthday, she unexpectedly gained a simulator System. If she didn’t break the Black Mamba curse, the System would erase her. And to break the curse, she first had to debut in aespa.

First simulation: eldest daughter in a single-parent family

Second simulation: orphan with no parents

Third simulation: adopted daughter of a chaebol

Here’s a story I’m collecting advance reservations for:

A shameless K-pop story, The Woman Who Doesn’t Want to Work

1.

Lina has a pretty face, but not much going on upstairs. She’s also lazy and loves good food, and hates anything that requires effort, like school or work.

Her biggest dream is to have a windfall fall into her lap, to make a fortune for no reason at all...

Most girls like her don’t get a happy ending. But... what can you do when the girl is bold enough to do anything, and young Koreans care so much about looks?

2.

Lina, a little Instagram influencer with ten thousand followers, is on the verge of bankruptcy two years after graduating high school. Just as reality dating shows become a huge hit, she bites the bullet, calls up her ex-boyfriend, whom she hasn’t spoken to in two years, and signs up for one.

Later, she becomes famous and makes a little money, but it’s nowhere near enough.

While she’s worrying about it, a male idol secretly messages her.

Then there are a bunch more male idols... She realizes they’re rich and easy to profit from.

Theme: Cherish every stage of life.
