My fav idol novel, I love everything in this novel. After reading this, I couldn't pick up other novels to read for a month, it was THAT good. Does it have friendship? YES, Character Development? YES, Plot? 10/10!! I specifically like reading in the audience or their fans pov, it's so interesting and refreshing at the same time. And also! The variety shows are so funny lololol! Totally worth the read. 💞💞
It's interesting
synopsis: mc suddenly wakes up in another body, the natural train of thought is to call up a status window, and when the window says [debut or die] you follow it's instructions faithfully. let's topple the idol industry! the entertainment industry is depicted in a realistic way, from the internet comments and company politics. the plot behind the status window isn't just a means to make the MC op, but sets up interesting conflicts and is used as a mechanism for character development! the side characters are multifaceted, and interpersonal relationships need maintenance creating anticipation. eventually this will be natural and we'll fit together like a puzzle, but for now let's be awkward.
such a fantastic novel. not only do you get to see the mc's character development as the story goes on, but you get to see his relationships around him bloom despite the stuff the system makes him go through and see the characters around him also grow into who they are. it's really such a lovely idol story, i've been into idol media/an idol fan forever and this is truly my favorite. what makes it so fun is the various povs you get because it's not only moondae, you get povs of his members and even various fans! it's really so fun and thrilling. i've laughed so much reading it, i've held my breath at certain moments, i've probably just felt every emotion while reading this. i really love testar and everything they overcame just to be together, it's really touching :) i would recommend this to everyone and it's 10000% worth the read!!
─ ch. 644/644 | 10.0/10.0★ this is a classic in the #idol genre .. extremely well written characters, plot, and good pacing. smart (& scary lmfao) mc.
I recommend this novel to people who like stories that has elements of: - KPOP - idol shows - isekai/reincarnation/transmigration - game system - friendship - character development - sorta unhinged MC - conflicts and conflict resolutions - a little white lotus characters
