Recommending some pretty good harem novels, just my personal opinion
Korean Entertainment Fiction That Never Gets Old (Single Female Lead: Yoona)
Korean Entertainment Novel List I got into Korean girl groups when I started college in 2012. I’m devoted to second-generation groups, and Yoona is my one and only. ❤️❤️❤️ I don’t know much about today’s fourth- and fifth-generation girl groups, and haven’t made much effort to learn about them. My impression of Korean entertainment is basically stuck in the second generation. Every book on this list features Yoona as the sole female lead. If you’re into the same thing, come take a look. If y

Great Books with All Kinds of Fresh Ideas
These are books I'm following, and what I'm looking for is an unusual premise or a fresh niche genre. It's been ages since I recommended anything, so here are some hidden gems I've recently tried out. Why are there so few recommendations? To all you fellow book lovers recommending books, please try to recommend ones with at least 200,000 words. I just finished watching Fast Eight. It wasn't very good. I'm not sure if that was because of the Mandarin or the quality. Either way, it just didn't fee

Korean Entertainment: The Rules of Idol Life and Everyday Romance
“What Is Korean Entertainment?” Korean entertainment refers to South Korea's entertainment industry. The entertainment world, also known as show business, encompasses people working in the performing arts and the environment surrounding them. Professionals in film, television, stand-up comedy, singing, dance, and variety shows are generally considered part of the industry. Performers today are commonly called entertainers. In some places, people working in show business must join a local union.
A Veteran Reader's Must-Reads 🌿 Completed and Ongoing
Once you enter the vast sea of web novels, the king stops attending court. I started reading web novels in middle school. I still remember downloading TXT files onto my Noah Ark learning device and reading under the dormitory blankets 🧐. When the story got exciting, my blood would race, and I wished I could take the protagonist’s place 😎; When it stumbled, I’d sigh in frustration, wishing I could take over and write it myself 😂; When it ended badly, I’d regret ever starting it 😞; When it got a
Yun Wei's Short List of Showbiz Novels
Books I have read, though most are incomplete. Ah, they were niche to begin with. They were all written with passion. Read them while you can, and treasure them. A little mischief: Come on, let's see how many of these you have read: Liu the Pig Farmer, The Prosecutor, the Golden Movie Emperor, The Great Adventurer, the Chef, the Superstar Jiang, the Agent, the Doctor, the Little Prince of the Nightclub, a certain young master of the An family, the young master of the Wen family, the older broth
Custom Picks
This is a personal list. The blurbs may not be great, but I sincerely recommend these books. They’re mainly urban and historical novels.
Treasures on My Bookshelf
History, entertainment, doctors, myriad worlds, competitive stories
Entertainment and Celebrities
This list is all about celebrities and the entertainment industry. Some books aren't included because they don't fall under the urban genre.
Wen Xi’s Korean Entertainment Web Novel Library
I update this list with new Korean entertainment novels from time to time, and regularly clear out abandoned novels once some are finished. If you happen by, don't miss out. (Most of these novels are still being updated. There are currently 72 books here. Read all 72 before asking me for more recommendations.) P.S. The initial rating is three stars. Each time a novel goes on hiatus, it loses half a star. These ratings are purely personal, so feel free to recommend new books!
Showbiz Novels: A Little Circle of Self-Indulgence
This list only includes harem novels. If you don't like them, please don't bash them, just move along. Also, I'll periodically remove books that haven't updated in over 30 days.
Korean Entertainment and More, for Kindred Readers, Taste-Tested
Good Korean entertainment novels are getting harder and harder to find, so treasure them while you can. I scoured all of Qidian for Korean entertainment novels and am sharing them with fellow fans. Hope you enjoy! 💕
Some Korean Entertainment Novels I Read, Plus a Few Others, Though Korean Entertainment Is the Main Focus
Feel free to leave comments and recommend books. I'll add new ones regularly and remove authors who've abandoned their stories. Also, why have so many books disappeared lately? I still had so many left to read! I'll check out the books you recommend. But don't suggest stories featuring only the fourth generation: I still can't even recognize all the third-generation characters from the Big Three. If a story features the fourth generation alongside the second or third, though, feel free to recomm

As a long-time HY (hypothetical novel) reader, I'm sharing some recently released HY novels for everyone to enjoy. 🙂
To be honest, I'm a little touched. It's like a gentle breeze; even I, someone who doesn't follow celebrities, am starting to feel like following Xu Lai. The writing is really good. I hope he focuses more on his career and less on his romantic entanglements. I feel his current situation is affecting his career development.
This book is about Korean entertainment. If you don't like this kind of thing, please be understanding and leave quietly.
I hope the female lead is Yoona! 🤓
Regardless of the plot, the tug-of-war between the two characters in this romance novel is both understated and passionate, truly addictive. However, the only drawback is Yoona's background—she lost her virginity to Lee Seung-gi, and to put it bluntly, she was "played" for over a year—which is a major flaw.
I'm really scared; if I keep raising them, they'll end up being eunuchs.
The South Korean entertainment industry is probably the darkest place; please don't portray it as some kind of pristine, ideal world. Female idols generally have low levels of education, face high pressure, and many of them smoke, drink, and date. These things are impossible to prevent; they're normal human needs.
Do what you think is best.
The author portrays Chinese people as primitive beings, out of touch with the world. The protagonist achieves so much in Europe and America, yet remains relatively unknown in China—do you believe that? Frankly, some Chinese people are somewhat prone to foreign worship. Songs like "Surga" and "See You Again" are incredibly popular in China, especially since they're sung by Chinese artists.
Pinned! Yoona stock! Go for it!
