My Hobby Reading Room
At some point, I started seeking out authors who write with conviction. When an author wants the characters on the page to feel alive, they need beautiful prose and smooth, vivid characterization. Without that, it's all just an empty shell. The protagonist and other characters need resolve, courage, and dreams. An author has to put real thought into understanding these qualities.

Showbiz Novels I’ve Vetted
Entertainment novels I've personally tried. Tastes differ, so give them a shot.
Liu Yifei / Yang Mi / Zhao Liying / Liu Shishi / Tang Yan
Worth rereading: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Pretty good: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Good for getting out of a reading slump: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Other ratings: There may be some dealbreakers, but parts of the character writing are good! Recommended authors who write multiple heroines: Da Jinmao (He likes explaining things, but has written several novels featuring famous actresses born in the 1980s. The most reliable pick.) Pang Yidian (He's written three multiple-heroine novels, but only one features a famous actress born in the 1980s.

I kind of understand why the protagonist's emotional line seems to be twisted.
The protagonist's character is pure love and career-oriented. But the author is repeatedly arranging the plot line of the harem. For the sake of reasonableness, a talent of Guy Ritchie was specially arranged. But to be honest, Miss Jing Tian's character is really unpleasant. I just want the protagonist to pamper her, pamper her, and make her a big star. The breakup turned dark, and the protagonist still felt guilty towards Jing Tian because of this talent problem. He hated this kind of plot. The author is really good at writing and making movies. He is at least in the top three, or even first, among the articles on entertainment directors that I have read. But the issue of this emotional line is really difficult to resolve. I read in the comments that there are many people who want to see the harem, and there are also people who don't like the eldest princess like me and want to see the one who marries Reba. I can only say that the author thinks about it himself.
I want to cut the author a few times, it's obviously a single heroine, but it's said to be multiple heroines
The protagonist never seems to consider the suitability of the character when filming, and will only revolve around the three beauties of Xinjiang and the Shixian of the Tang Dynasty, as if there is no one in the entertainment industry. They know clearly that their acting skills are useless, but they get angry when they use them, and they say they don't need to block them next time. After that, they slap themselves in the face and continue to use them, such as Liu Shishi, Yang Mi, and Nazha. Even though he knows that his acting skills are poor and he has many faults and cannot be taught well, he still wants to be a starring role.
If you post so many female leads and accept one, it should be considered a scam and you can report it.
There are three books. The only advantage of this author is that he is full of pretentious literary and artistic style, but the description of emotions is too arrogant, and he cannot write about starting a harem. It is very simple to determine an absolute heroine (the first one ended up changing the heroine and getting married, which was a failure). The rest are various crises and accidents that are half pushed and half combined. The first two books were too rough, this one is an improvement, but the heroine of the list is really terrible!
Many female stars are incompatible with each other. For example, how can Yang Mi compare with Liu Yifei and Jing Tian? His looks are not good enough and his personality is not likeable. Putting together a bunch of female celebrities to gain popularity ends up being awkward and discouraging.
The number of words between Kunkun and the female protagonist is far greater than that of the male protagonist, and the characters are more three-dimensional. The male protagonist felt that it was really dispensable and he just let Kunkun get the golden finger.
Really, if you write less romance scenes and more movie content, no one will say anything about your harem or a single heroine. I have read so many Chinese entertainment articles, and your movie plots are the best. The others are either copied from "Thailand", "Tang Dynasty" or "The Wandering Earth". Women are all lickers. Although you are fatter and don't lick your pussy, your writing is really good in movies. It's a pity, ugh.
Something about this book that I think should be changed!
The relationship line is either pure love or a harem. This is jumping sideways from both sides, which is the most uncomfortable thing to watch. Pure Love only has one heroine, and it will be the same heroine when it is finished. The harem is all about it. Other plots are very interesting, especially the upgrade to Pacific Rim II, but other plots about female characters are garbage. Jumping sideways like this will not please either side. Those who like pure love will like pure love, but those who like harems will also like pure love.
Scams are popular nowadays, right?
It is obviously a story about a single female protagonist, but the female protagonist has so many problems 😅
