In Memory of All Those Years I Went Crazy Chasing New Chapters
Thinking back, it must have been about ten years ago. I used to be desperate to keep reading, and that urge still comes over me now and then, though it isn't the norm anymore. I suppose that's growing up, but whenever the feeling returns, it's still hard to resist. This list holds the books I've read over the years that left an impression on me. It may not be complete; it's just a way to remember.
Popular Ongoing Korean Entertainment Novels
First, thanks to everyone who sent flowers. I'm happy as long as you're enjoying it, but you really didn't have to! This list is here to recommend Korean entertainment novels that I think are worth reading to fans of the genre. I know how it feels to run out of books, and I'm always looking for new ones myself. If you spot a book here that you like, please take a moment to add it to your collection. That'll encourage Qingfeng to keep recommending good books and help everyone find their next read

Korean Entertainment and Other Books I Like
Emmm, I originally wanted to make a list devoted to K-pop novels, but they’re a bit too similar, and K-pop stories often get dropped. So I’ll also include other books I think are good.
Mostly Korean Entertainment
Mostly just keeping track of the K-pop novels I’ve read. It’s mainly for my own reference, in case I clear out my bookshelf in a hurry.
The Korean Peninsula, K-Pop
A hodgepodge of Korean entertainment stories, and nothing but Korean entertainment.

Peninsula Book List, Mainly Fourth and Fifth Generations
There's a question I've never understood.
Why are most Korean entertainment novels about people becoming entertainers or directors in the Korean entertainment industry? This one is no exception. It's not that the book is badly written; I've read it too, although it only has about a dozen chapters, but I felt that it was well-written.
A playlist for this book has been created on QQ Music. Just search for "Peninsula: I Play for Real" on QQ Music! (This playlist will be updated in sync with the storyline.)
It's rare to find a peninsula novel that I thoroughly enjoyed reading.
The author's skill level is not that of a newcomer; the dialogue is very much in line with Korean style, and the girl group characters are well-developed and not one-dimensional, which I really like. I remember being really into a K-pop novel before, it was "Fatty's K-pop," but for me, the previous generation of girl groups is indeed a bit distant...
Why does every K-pop show have to include Chou Tzu-yu these days? I don't see how pretty she is. 😅
Korean entertainment is too niche, yet its momentum is huge. Only a few truly excellent books might emerge every few years. It's frustrating. Can't we publish a few books that top the monthly ticket charts to revitalize this sector?
The Peninsula Language is very strange
The author's writing is decent, but the awkwardness is undeniable. This chaotic love triangle is truly unique online. I initially thought it would fall apart, but then it strangely remained half-fallen. The writing is alright, possessing a kind of abstract yet fragmented yet harmonious quality. Even seasoned readers would praise it as absolutely brilliant! 😵😵😵
So, how did you guys get to know Korean girl groups?
I feel like there aren't many places in China where I can get to know Korean celebrities. Although I read Korean entertainment novels, I basically treat them as fictional stories. Mainly because Korean female celebrities all seem to look pretty much the same; I can only recognize three or four: Im Yoon-a, Park Ji-yeon, and IU. Im Yoon-a is the only one I find pretty; the others all have the standard Korean idol face.
Although he's a jerk, but...
It's amazing, I've read a lot of Korean entertainment novels, but there are very few where the protagonist is so utterly despicable yet still believable, at least not like the characters in 2020 who were universally hated.
Author, please write more, don't rush to finish.
I've read quite a few Korean entertainment novels, and I feel this author writes really well. The sales figures seem good too; the character descriptions and plot progression are very smooth. It's currently at 4 million words. I sincerely hope the author can continue writing for a while longer, reaching around 7 or 8 million words, as long as the sales figures are acceptable.
