   My absolute favorite boy band novel, bar none. This one truly holds a place in my heart. I've never enjoyed watching a real-life boy band story as much as this one – it's hilarious and satisfying! I highly recommend the Qinglu Entertainment Trilogy. To be honest, this book has quite a few flaws. The plot is a bit repetitive, with one character suffering after another, since they're going to suffer all the time anyway. But I've never invested this much emotion in a novel about the entertainment industry before. Top male idol group novels
