After More Than Ten Years of Reading, Here Are My Recommendations for Truly Great, Overlooked Books
I've been reading for over ten years and have carefully read thousands of novels. I only recommend high-quality books that have been overlooked. I've read every book I recommend carefully and genuinely think it's good. I can't stand formulaic, amateurish writing, clumsy prose, pretentious literary styles, or stories that torture the protagonist. None of that for me. Every book on this list is a clean read that suits my taste. Hope you enjoy them~ Maybe you'll find like-minded readers too~ Haha.
Korean Entertainment Novels I Like
I'm reviving this list. I've been into Korean entertainment for over ten years and reading novels for nine. The novel that got me hooked was Xing Mei Duo Shou by Naodai Dada. I have some thoughts and opinions of my own, and this is where I'll recommend the Korean entertainment novels I enjoy. I won't recommend some completed ones, since everyone's already familiar with them. (PS: Korean entertainment novels are a niche genre. If you enjoy one, please recommend it and add it to your collection to

Books to Cure a Reading Slump
A Hub for Korean Entertainment Novels
A list for fans of Korean entertainment novels. (When I have time, I’ll polish the recommendations. I’ve realized they’re way too brief and boring!)
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

There's really a random bit of everything here.
My Library
As a veteran bookworm of over twenty years, I’ve collected some books that I thought were pretty good and am recommending them to everyone.
One Look Was All It Took: Finding the Right Book
Don't pass by without a look! I'm a ten-year veteran reader who's read all kinds of novels: power fantasies, formulaic stories, fresh and original works, and everything in between. There's bound to be something you like. Most are either ongoing or complete, and generally over a million words. Updated from time to time. I mainly read on the main site. My reviews may be short, but these are all books I think are good right now. They may not suit everyone's taste, but I'm sure you'll find something
Korean Entertainment: Works of Conscience
Soft and beautiful
Korean Entertainment
No idiots, no arrogant overpowered heroes. Just easygoing Korean entertainment stories. If you have any good recommendations, leave them in the comments on my list.
Good Korean Entertainment Novels
Girls' Generation, all about Taeyeon, my ultimate favorite. I first got into Korean entertainment in October 2016. Most of what I read was harem fiction with a womanizer protagonist. Since I'd read other kinds of novels before, I didn't think much of it. Gradually, I started listening to Girls' Generation's songs and learning about the real members. Naturally, I became a Soshi fan and started devouring novels focused on them. Later, I happened to see Taeyeon's new song 11:11 online. It was great
Entertainment
I’ve been reading web novels for ten years. I haven’t read every genre, but I’ve tried most of them. The best of entertainment fiction.
Korean Entertainment Library
Life in Korean entertainment isn't easy
Low-Key Korean Entertainment
Books I'm personally following. No womanizers, no male leads who coast on their background. Single-love-interest stories are best. Even a quiet, uneventful relationship can make you cherish it more.
Silly Korean Entertainment
A landmark in the history of Korean entertainment novels, an innovative breakthrough, and a textbook example. When I was young, I discovered that all innovation was dead, so it feels awful. I guess I’m getting old. Korean entertainment novels are a niche genre, so enjoy them while they last. It’s not easy for the author either, so whether they’re gone silent or carefully crafting each chapter, please be understanding.
My Own Bookshelf
For my own reading
Entertainment Fiction That Balances Career and Romance
Achievements that draw everyone's attention, and someone to share them with. (I'll add the books first and fill in the comments over time. Chinese, American, Korean, Japanese, and alternate-world entertainment. Entertainment broadly defined: not just actors, singers, and idols, but also sports, culture, esports, influencers, and other public figures.)
[Silly] Korean Entertainment Niche
A guild should be professional, but must avoid being exclusive. It's a short step from building barriers to growing stale. Hugs for Xiaoruan. If you like something, quietly give it a like, and try not to gush. If you don't, quietly move on, and try not to flame. Stay calm in the face of praise or criticism, and be civil first. Of course, just do what makes you happy. I hope everyone in the group gets along.

[Comment] Should the lead actor go on to act in a TV series? There was a great opportunity in 2012.
Seriously speaking, given the lead actor's status and position, SM Entertainment wouldn't give him the opportunity to star in a drama; they'd definitely promote someone else if they had the resources. However, 2012 presented a great opportunity with "Reply 1997." Initially, almost no one was optimistic about this drama.
[Comment] The writing is very good, just a few suggestions.
It's clear the author put a lot of effort into the writing and genuinely wanted to create a book that wasn't overly fantastical or relied too heavily on overpowered characters, which is commendable. However, I personally feel there are some issues the author needs to address later on: First, so far, we haven't seen any potential development path or growth trajectory for the protagonist.
The main character is such a nice-natured, people-pleasing person. The manager is right; what right does a newcomer like you, the team leader, have to sympathize with others? A leader should have the responsibility of a leader.
Personally, I think it's one of the best Korean entertainment shows I've ever watched.
Are there any similar books to this one, where the protagonist isn't the kind with a powerful background, or that focus on trainees in the Korean entertainment industry? I'd appreciate recommendations!
Is the author still updating in 2022?
I have a few questions after reading the book. Why doesn't the male lead debut as a solo artist? If Huang hadn't been injured, was there any intention to let him debut at all? Is the male lead a balloon? Does he get fat just by blowing on him? The male lead should have a lot of exposure, so why is the company practically sidelining him?
I watched TVXQ's 2018 Tokyo concert on Bilibili, especially the rainy scene—it was so amazing and they were so cool! Even as a guy, I thought they were incredibly handsome. K-pop has declined; very few authors write about it anymore. The K-pop stories I write now aren't the same as what I used to know. These days, writing about K-pop is mostly out of love. There are few authors and few readers, so I'll cherish every moment I write.
This book is amazing! No offense intended, but aside from the slightly immature romantic relationships, the characters' career paths are quite impressive!
Is it possible for the author to finish this book? It's such a shame!
