   It's an improvement over the author's previous book, although it felt like reading a ten-year-old novel. All the tropes are old: being appointed to a critical mission, not liking to sing but the band is short of members, the male lead's self-deception, kissing the wrong person, getting on the wrong bus, etc. The writing style isn't quite good enough to make old tropes interesting, but it's still readable.

   Like the previous one, this one has the same problem: the setup is way too long. However, it's not handled as well as the previous one. The previous one was bland, while this one is boring. The teammates and the company are both annoying; the buildup is too long, the contract termination hasn't happened yet, and it feels like there are more problems to come. I'm starting to lose interest.

   It's a bit better than the previous one. At least the plot is smoother. The writing hasn't improved much. It's supposed to be a toxic fandom, but the things it does don't seem like it. The female lead's career is incredibly smooth, and it's a story with a superpower. But I didn't feel that the female lead herself was charming, so it was a bit boring.

   This book is not as good as the author's previous one. Romance is still the author's weak point. Also, because it is an episodic story, the author writes about the career aspects rather briefly, so the whole book becomes very ordinary. The only highlight is the best friend Lee Soo-hyuk shared by the male and female protagonists.

Well, you can call her fickle if you like. As for Quan Zhilong, maybe it was fate 12kFavorites44.5kClicks/ch5.1kGifts

   This story has a rather dramatic style. Unfortunately, because it's an early work, many of the celebrities the author liked or had relationships with ended up in trouble. The female lead had many relationships, and in the end, the male lead had to go through a dramatic chase to win her back. If you like stories of love and hate, you might enjoy this one.

   This author's works are all very formulaic. The male lead could be anyone, the dragon doesn't feel like a dragon, it's just a typical domineering CEO story, and the writing isn't good enough to keep you reading. If you like melodramatic and mindless stories, you might want to check this out.

   Curator note

   The dragon in this book is very well-developed; he's a scheming, controlling, and yandere character who suffers because of missing out on his younger sister, which fuels his even stronger possessiveness and controlling nature. It's a very enjoyable read. The female lead's teammates are also very well-developed. Compared to the dragon, the plot is a bit weaker, and the emotional turmoil is repetitive. Also, it's currently on hiatus. If it could be finished, the rating would be higher.

   This story is hard to review. The writing is good, but I really got into Oh Sehun in the dragon segment. The female lead's feelings for the dragon are more about being with him because of her mission, rather than her liking for him. Her first love with Oh Sehun is more touching than her relationship with the dragon.

    The author's writing style is smooth, and the plot is decent. It's a story of revenge against villains and the pursuit of the wife. The author's writing style is quite wild. However, the dragon's character is not very charismatic. Not only is he two-timing, but he also falls madly in love with someone later on. The female lead's charm is barely there. The male lead can be bad, but he can't be without charm. The main story is not as interesting as the initial synopsis.

    The female lead is reborn with a spiritual spring and meets BB when he first debuted. The writing is actually quite good, and the plot isn't bad either. However, the reason for the male and female leads' breakup is quite absurd. The male lead is a bit of a jerk; he loves the female lead but dates someone else, and later he has a dramatic "wife-chasing" moment. Although it's short and has a lot of explicit content, the dragon's character design is rather mediocre.

The series of activities promoted by the female lead would basically not exist in Xiao Han's case, and it feels like she became popular inexplicably.

    The author's previous transmigration novel was better than this one. This one, because it's long, feels like a diary entry. The previous one featured childhood sweethearts, so the relationship felt more natural. This one is a bit strange, and the dragon's characterization is also odd.

    This book suffers from poorly written romance and career storylines. The author clearly cares a lot about their fans and their career, and won't date until they reach the top. The female lead isn't a producer and doesn't need romance for inspiration, making the character setup rather strange. The female lead achieves her success solely through her beauty, making it a mindless and enjoyable read. The romance involves the male lead pursuing the female lead, but it's not a significant part.

    This is likely the author's first novel. The female lead and the dragon have an age gap; the female lead is a post-2000s generation, transmigrates, and learns composition and lyrics from the dragon. The dragon's feelings for her are inexplicable and strangely unwavering. The female lead's personal charm is completely underdeveloped; she only comes across as a very gentle person, making their romance seem utterly unappealing. The career storyline is also mediocre. Similarly, the female lead lacks charisma, so overall, the reader doesn't get the satisfying parts of the author's plot.

He hates that you abandoned him and no longer want him. I would give it a perfect score if I only looked at the romance. However, the plot has too many overlapping settings, including time travel, soul absorption, and all sorts of other nonsense like the Great Witch. It was really tiring to read. If you only look at the romance, it is definitely worth reading.

    The male and female leads are childhood sweethearts, the female lead is an actress with a huge advantage, but really nothing is well-written. Winning the Best Actress award seems effortless, the romance develops strangely, and while it's supposed to be a push-pull dynamic, all we see is the upper echelon manipulating the lower echelon. The love is strange, and the relationship itself is strange too.

    It's hard to describe my emotional journey while reading this story. It went from average to good to bad. The early and middle parts were enjoyable, with the lovestruck dragon and the STEM-oriented female lead. The back-and-forth between the dragon's unrequited love was well-done, and the occasional tears conveyed their feelings. However, there was just too much crying [crying emoji]. I cried every two or three pages. I couldn't understand why the female lead, after realizing the male lead's feelings, chose to string him along. The dragon isn't a particularly cynical person; on the contrary, he's quite proud. He confessed twice and was rejected twice. After trying, I felt that even if someone likes another person, they would eventually step back to being just friends. Using fans to represent the dragon is unreliable. Fans have many different attributes, and not many fans truly understand the complexities of a tragic love story. Furthermore, when the dragon was an idol, he provided a lot of positive feedback to his fans, a two-way exchange. The male and female leads' relationship wasn't like that. The female lead herself didn't understand love, and her constant offering of affection, care, and connection to the other person while unable to reciprocate his love was poorly handled.

    The female lead is a chef who comes from China to open a restaurant in Korea. The dragon doesn't appear much in the early stages, but his romantic storyline begins in the later stages. The younger sister opens a company for her good friends, signing 17 and 21, and many second, third, and fourth generation artists appear. It's a simple and healing daily life.

    The part where the female lead is an alien and communicates with the dragon in the void is quite interesting, but the rest is actually quite boring. The female lead's character being a glutton is quite absurd, and there's too much plot about her teammates with inconsistent detail. It's barely watchable.

    The author's writing style is basically the same as the previous book, but the romance novel played to its strengths and avoided its weaknesses, focusing more on the romantic relationship. While the main plot had some issues, it was too short to be a problem. This book, however, is different. It's a story of reconciliation after a breakup, where the woman dies and is reborn in the future, the older woman becoming the younger one. The story revolves around their reunion and love. The author tried to write too much, but the writing skills fell short. The "playboy" character wasn't established, the plot was somewhat dragging, and the romance between the male and female leads was clichéd and unoriginal, making it a bit boring.

    After the female lead debuted as a solo artist, she returned to the Chinese entertainment industry. Because of her daughter in a parallel universe, she reconciled with her ex-boyfriend.
