Best Picks in Showbiz and Period Fiction (Updated 2026-10-28)
A list of entertainment novels I'm following. If you like this genre, give them a try. I often check the rankings. This genre is relatively easy for new authors to write, but competition is fierce too. I update regularly, so keep an eye on changes to the list's title.

A Personal Selection of Miscellaneous Reads, Mostly with Long Reviews
The novels here span a variety of genres, covering almost every section. Most were added when they were new, so they're not very long. Most of my reviews are long-form. I share a reader's perspective on the strengths and weaknesses I noticed while reading.
So Satisfying to Revisit (*˘︶˘*)...:*♡
Books with a really comfortable writing style. A bestseller doesn’t automatically suit my taste. I’m picky. Please don’t recommend books to me, friends. I only pick books when the mood strikes. The title, synopsis, and first three chapters are what matter.

So Addictive, I Wish the Authors Would Write 24/7
There are always a few novels that make you want to chain the author to their computer around the clock and withhold their meals until they update. There are always a few authors who are lazy and pad their stories, but you love that kind of thing anyway. You remove their books from your list again and again, only to add them back every time. There are always a few books whose authors and works are unknown, but you still want to keep reading. There are always a few novels that make you, a broke n

Are you sure this is the pianist from 1900 who time-traveled, and not a failed art student who time-traveled?
Overall, the book does a pretty good job of developing the male protagonist, the plot has no major flaws, and it's also of a high professional standard. But! But! But! I really can't stand this girl surnamed Jiang anymore! I seriously doubt whether you truly know the definition of social anxiety (this isn't a criticism of your writing style, just a small suggestion).
Hahaha, that's hilarious! The main character before participating in the Xiao competition 😅 The protagonist after participating in the Xiao game 😁
When I first looked at the table of contents, I almost thought the protagonist was a failed art student who had been reborn. After finishing the story, I was so excited that I couldn't sleep that night, and I stayed up all night to read the latest chapter and write down my thoughts.
I wonder if I'm just not suited to reading musically profound works, since I'm not a music student. It's very well written and quite insightful. But this woman with ginger gave me a feeling of being fed (-.---...-..---.). After watching her scenes, my throat was left with a lingering (-.---...-..---.). I don't know if it's just me.
I have about 50 chapters left, but I've decided to put this book on hold for now. The author seems to be constantly hyping up the protagonist, showering him with excessive praise and compliments from every angle—calling him a god, a king, claiming even his teachers and rivals are inferior, and that top players feel inspired by his performance. Even seasoned veterans are flocking to hear him play.
Author, please stop writing such weird female supporting characters! Yes, that's right, the one surnamed Jiang, and the foreign woman afterwards—don't write women so strangely! The others are mostly acceptable, but promise me you'll ignore them later, or even not write them at all, and let the male lead shine alone!! I don't want to read any more harem novels with multiple female leads!!!
Having read the novel about that pianist at sea, if it were a story, all the flaws of an artist should be included: social anxiety, neuroticism, emotionality, being out of place, indifferent to money and women, with only the piano and music in his eyes.
By the way, author, don't you think your chapter title is a bit risky?
I know why I couldn't continue watching. I just saw this book and clicked on it again. As soon as I clicked on it, I saw Jiang xx. A few months ago, I remember when the author said that Jiang was not the female lead, I said "Great!" But when I checked again a day later, the book review had been deleted, which made me lose interest.
