Countdown to a Cross-Dressing Idol's Retirement

An idol is considered old once they turn 12; the author clearly doesn't understand.

I absolutely love this book; the writing is so evocative and detailed. It's a shame that the subject matter is too niche and not many people read it.

Teacher, teacher, why do they all say my Su Nianqu is wrong? 😭 Don't they know that "qu" backwards is "nb"? 😭 Su Nian, if you read it quickly, sounds like "first love" and "Soviet Union" 😭 "Soviet Union" doesn't mean wrong at all 😭

(Chapter 61 as of the time of publication) This review contains no spoilers. Rating: (Objective) 5/10, (Personal Preference) 8/10. This book has many unique characteristics, which are both its strengths and weaknesses. First, it uses a rare first-person narrative, and a limited perspective, meaning the reader doesn't know everything. Like the other characters in the story, we are unaware of the protagonist's past and hidden secrets. This presents a significant problem: if you choose to fully empathize with the protagonist, the reading experience will be unpleasant. The book's perspective is closer to that of an audience member; you are a witness to everything...

The author's intended satisfying element: Lao Lin is invincible, extremely handsome, omnipotent, even the ultimate boss, and the darling of countless people. Isn't that amazing? The satisfying part the audience wants to see: the "hero" defeats the "witch" and then takes the "princess" home as a reward [sfem:22:762]

This book's subject matter is likely leaning towards pseudo-yuri (adult content), and in the mainstream yuri-centric environment of BLC (Boys' Love) novels, its ability to stand out from the crowd is commendable in itself. Although the book claims to have a "mind-blowing" label, within its world-building, it's actually quite objective and realistic. Whether it's the training process or the stage action descriptions, everything is vividly portrayed. While I personally found a few stage descriptions a bit too lengthy and occasionally missed them, the vast majority are very captivating. And you can clearly feel the author racking their brains to write those scenes that would be incredibly embarrassing to read aloud...

I have a question: Is Lao Lin physically able to handle so many people all at once?

It's beautiful... You must survive!

Another emotional debt has been added; if this continues, Lao Lin will be stuffed into a cream puff.

I want to see Alice, the white moonlight that Su holds dear in her heart and in her hands, being kicked by the first snow [sfem:3:311]
