Chinese Showbiz: From Feuding Boy Band to Chinese Pop Superstar

These days, only "feel-good" novels (or "power fantasy") can go far in the male-oriented fiction genre, because men have it tough. Life is already hard enough; reading is meant to relax, and who can stand reading a book filled with scheming and backstabbing?

Did you not do market research before writing this book? In today's environment, men are practically all laid-back. If you want to make a living in male-oriented fiction, don't include too many scenes of forced hardship; it's frustrating and only makes readers feel disgusted.

The pacing is a bit slow; chapter 25 only covers the debut auditions, and there's still the opening of the Beijing Film Academy storyline. Give the protagonist a "hard work pays off" power level; the protagonist's overworked, miserable character with mediocre talent doesn't feel very appealing.

Leaving aside the other issues, the protagonist's behavior was unbearable; had he never seen a woman before? It was truly disgusting.

The protagonist was incredibly overrated in the early stages. With so many resources available later on, even if your abilities don't allow it, there's no need to sign with EE-Media, right? And to sign after the art exams but before school starts is just insane.

The comments section for this book is really interesting 😁. Reading the book itself is quite interesting too. Author, if you really can't handle it, maybe change the title to "Chasing Dreams in the Entertainment Industry".

The protagonist is timid and subservient to the point of being pathetic, completely lacking the dignity of a reborn person. He keeps emphasizing his past life, but his mentality and way of speaking are written like a minor. Even if an older man is doing poorly, he should still have some life experience, right? Also, he can plagiarize songs and knows the future trends, yet he still joins a lousy group. What's the point of plagiarizing songs if you can't even plan your thought process and logic?

Seeing Yang Ying suddenly appear in chapter 130+... Do they really have to write about this person?

Writing this nonsense about a group debuting is less appealing than them going to Korea for two and a half years and then coming back.

Are all villains idiots? Have you never been to the real world? Putting aside everything else, Xie Na, as a former top female host at Hunan TV, is known for her shrewdness and ability to adapt to changing circumstances, right? But you portray her as an idiot… After you became incredibly famous, and having only sold two songs to JJ Lin, how could you possibly buy twenty songs for 100,000 yuan each?
