In a twist of fate, Jun Hao, a ruthless street thug known for his brute strength and sharp instincts, dies at the hand of the boss he served like a slave.

When he thought he would die, he saw a screen flash before his eyes—it was a system and a status window!

    I just wanted to write this comment for new readers honestly. You might come across of a lot of negative comments but the novel is seriously worth reading. When some say that the mc only concentrate himself on singing is not true since he actually develops dancing, acting, rapping, presence on stage, etc later. Most readers that have an attention laps of a bean don't take the time to read further the story as they assume it'ld go and for everyone's information: The author is new so they wanted to make each arc well explained and that's efficient since you can come across a certain detail in the early chapters and find their utility in the later chapters! To summarize it, don't read comments that can affect your opinion because you're the only one to decide if the story pleases you or not! :)

    Caught up with the translation ch.602 the story is good. There is some interesting plots and there is a bit of growth with the mc's character. I like how the Mc is helpless sometimes and things don't go his way, how he can't just bend his boss to do whatever he wants and has to struggle for a single chance. 8/10 if you are into entertainment novels. SPOILER I don't like how the Mc exposes his true identity to an old gang member maybe his choice is correct and time will show.

      I have the same opinion as yours but I think the author did that to make future events more logical. You know like some things happened like 30 or 40 chapters ago but they suddenly reappear later to cause some drama or bring solutions to them. Exemple: SPOILER (chapters between 604 and 611): The kiss that June received from Jenny (his cousin) got him in a scandal while endangering his place in the new drama he plays as Jian and you remember Haruto? Haruki's twin brother and Choi Joon Ho's bestfriend? He made a new appearance to help take down the issue via Haruki's navel account. So I think his identity reveal will be of huge help to take down Laohu and Lin Zhi especially since Laohu's actually suspecting June to have someone backing him up!

      You've arrived at Minjun's bullies? You have the right to think that the mc is a pushover but the plot gets better after few chapters! The dramas are more logical and more threatening with June actually making his way to the top. Litte spoiler: We learn the dark secrets of Choi Joon Ho and we see that there are way more connections between him and Chen Jun Ho than what we thought at first. Like the fact he witnessed our mc's death!

    I'm not trying to bash on the novel, I'm just genuinely wondering. What is the appeal? Because if its just "gap affection" where he acts like a thug at times but then came be charming and so I don't think this is for me

      The 'thug' thing doesn't come into play often enough to matter. Just think of it as a "Debut or Die" clone, but imo better than the original. The plot, dialogue, main characters, side characters, character development, power system, fan interaction, etc. are all better than DoD. Someone saw that novel and said "I think I can do it better", and gave it their own spin.

      Ummm I don't know how to explain it to you but June still has the same personality as when he was a thug except for the fact that he needs to show more expressions during performances or when acting. The same personality doesn't mean he's heartless but he's more nonchalent but when meeting his past enemies or past "friends", he becomes vengeful (with Lin Zhi and Laohu) and cold (with Bo When). If you have more questions, you can ask me! I've read until chapter 597 :)

    Is this just about singing or is there acting and other stuff too?

    • Lolimancer 9

      Mostly singing, dancing and song production, but he does rarely take on a few oddjobs which include acting later on. There's also stuff like variety tv shows.

        Become a star (this one is completed but I haven't finished it yet) Versatile superstar: rise in Hollywood (it's quite interesting, it has singing , playing instruments, acting , writing) but unfortunately it has been on hiatus for a while And my favourite one that's focused on acting I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor it's very enjoyable, the novel is already completed but the translation is only almost half the way there

    Is there romance or a love interest

    Reply
    • bananaz 1

      so far no love that's been two sided/reciprocated. there's a few people who like him but he doesn't like anyone back, so i'd say no romance.
