A Superstar Starts Out as a Top-Tier Star

I left after reading chapter 16. While I was already annoyed that the protagonist had disguised himself as the lyricist and composer, I could tolerate it given the short length of the book. But then you go and write a whole chapter explaining it, it feels like the author's gone mad. The reader doesn't appreciate the originality, and the story gets stuck in a cycle of self-justification.

A divinely inspired masterpiece isn't something that can be produced casually. Completeness, innovation, subversion, and even memorability are not the primary elements of a divine album. Author, you write a bunch of love songs and think your album is a masterpiece? Is JJ Lin good enough at singing love songs? Can Eason Chan sing them? They haven't released a single masterpiece album.

Although it's an old, completed book, I still subscribed to a chapter just to vent. I'll unsubscribe after reading six chapters! Alt identities, aliases! These days, everything in novels needs an alias. You write an entertaining, lighthearted story, you write a song, and you're accused of using an alias!

Then there's Liu Zhen, a major flaw. He's a minor director, part of the Beijing entertainment circle, and backed by a large company. The lead actor starred in a movie that grossed 1 billion yuan, but failed to transition his image, indicating that 1 billion yuan isn't a very high box office figure.

I've read over ten chapters, and it's so damn wordy... There are so many talented people in the world, why haven't they been cut off? Who cares if you write a few songs... It's so depressing.

I've opened this book twice already, and each time I see the section about using pseudonyms to write songs, it makes me want to turn off.

What right do a few recording studios have to criticize the protagonist's song style? Do they really think they're the world's boss? The reality is, the protagonist paid them to record the songs; it's a fair transaction. What right do they have to interfere with the album's song style? The author's writing is utterly nonsensical.

Seeing the author's self-indulgent comment in Chapter 8, about how the songs were bought, it's clear that readers are being driven away by these flaws one by one. You might think they're minor flaws, or even not flaws at all, but don't you even look at the readers' comments? Do you really have to live in your own world, indulging in self-admiration?

Well, the author's thinking is unconventional, which is fine as long as it's excellent. However, the author's unconventionality gives off a feeling of being sleazy and cowardly.

Hmm, I've read dozens of chapters, and I'm at a loss for words to even begin to complain. There was a chapter earlier where the author explained a lot about the protagonist using an alias to write songs. I wasn't really concerned at first; I just wanted to enjoy an entertaining article, with a nice song and an interesting plot.
