Having read 300 chapters, the protagonist is still a virgin, flirting with seven or eight women, even sharing a bed with them, yet he keeps saying he's too reserved—"I can't betray you! I can't ruin my image! Do you even love me? Do I love you?" Most importantly, after over 300 chapters, the protagonist still can't even come up with 300,000 words!
I'm dropping this book. My life is already miserable enough; the protagonist is even more pathetic than me—it's just too much!
This book isn't exciting enough. The biggest highlight of transmigration/rebirth novels is the ease with which one achieves success by utilizing advantageous resources, but the protagonist in this book is too much of a loser. I simply couldn't finish reading it.
You've turned a time-travel story into a ridiculous one; you're a weirdo too.
Not so great. You write songs and give them away, and every single one becomes a hit. You don't want anything in return—no copyrights, no need for anyone to know you're the author. You write books and don't want anyone to know either. You're an actor; you need fame, you need exposure. Others want that exposure but don't get it, yet you demand secrecy and don't even want any profit.
The beginning was watchable, but the rest was just self-indulgent entertainment!
I've seen many novels about the entertainment industry where the protagonists never lose money when they make movies or do anything, and they don't have to pay taxes. They get whatever the overseas box office is. I want to ask, do you think the distributors and theaters are just doing this for free? And then there are those who immediately start playing gambling agreements with directors and investors. Do they think those people don't have brains?
Fortunately, after reading the comments, most people said it wasn't good. To summarize, there are several points: first, it uses copied and pasted Baidu science articles to pad the word count; second, it doesn't take advantage of prior knowledge to develop the story quickly; and third, the romance drags on, neither being a harem nor a monogamous relationship, so there's almost no exciting element left, and it's really not worth watching.
The protagonist is really awesome; he knows every single one of Hong Kong's countless stars, supporting actors, and extras. Every time he meets one, they're all stunned, then exclaim, "Who is xxx? He's...!" And launch into a long, rambling explanation copied and pasted from Baidu. It's one thing to explain about big stars, but he even explains about insignificant extras who have absolutely no role in advancing the plot. After explaining everything, the extra dies.
How can a true dragon be raised in a pond? Hong Kong is too small to nurture global superstars; the mainland is more likely to.
