Short summary: MC is a troll.

The MC is not someone who takes shots at him lightly. I got so used to MCs acting so gentle and cold or having other people do the job for them so seeing the MC fighting back is very refreshing. He's so petty, it made me want to read more.

Because the OG has a bad reputation, he utilizes it instead and posts whatever he wants. He pities and symphatizes with the OG for having such a tragic life despite being so shy, kind, and hopeful so him basically face-slapping the former members with his words and acting is immensely satisfying. 130+ chapters in and he's still petty. He's so funny in the way he fights back. I laughed so hard when he fought back on the criticism about actors of TV series have status that are lower than the film industry.

Despite his pettiness however, he's pretty serious about acting. He fairly analyzes other dramas without caring about his competitors (ie. His former group member and other actors). He simply criticizes their plot and acting as a fellow actor.

Outside of acting, he's a laid-back person who acts casually with people. He's very funny and his interactions in public so far made me chuckle because of how dumb and crazy he was.

We get some short info about his former life but the author doesn't mention it a lot (so far). The only thing we know was he went from a newbie to a well-known actor from hard work so him transmigrating into a hated actor is nothing new. Personally, this kind of background is pretty normal in other showbiz novels.

Instead of focusing on his past, the author instead focuses on the present.

I got used to how authors write entertainment novels so the way the author wrote this one is not that weird to me. They would reveal some details like what kind of character and background the MC is playing. They have some summary about his dramas so I still have an idea about what the MC is doing. I don't mind it being short because sometimes, long explanations about the drama (in other novels), make me exhausted. If an author keeps making long summaries about a drama for 200+ chapters, I will get tired and bored by the end of it.

I'm here for the literal drama (on internet) ✨

Same as other showbiz novels, this one also has a lot of feedback from the MC's audience whether they're a passerby, hater, or fan.

Surprisingly, despite the MC being handsome, it's not the type of story that describes his face in every few paragraphs. Instead, they just say he's handsome and that's it. The fans go wild for it which is expected from fans. There's no repetitive paragraphs full of weird metaphors and detailed adjectives.

Plus, there's no romance. It's hard to look for showbiz novels that have no romance. Romance usually ruins the plot for me when all I want to see is the MC pursuing his career. Nice!

Basically, it's a fun read (not too amazing and not too bad) despite the second-hand embarrassment I got from the MC's first drama.

Usually, showbiz novels would have a relatively normal first drama for their MCs so the fact that the MC in this novel got an incredibly crazy plot for his is just wild to me. Honestly, I respect the MC for delivering his lines without batting an eye on the plot.

It can get repetitive with the face-slapping but honestly, this novel isn't meant to be taken seriously. Him being "Gary Stu" and face-slapping people are pretty much in line with most novels nowadays that I don't even bat an eye on it anymore. I just read this for fun and nothing more.

I also like the side characters. One director made me laugh and respect him so much because of how he handled the scandal for a friend. Also because of his (💩) reaction LMAO. He's as petty as the MC if not more so lol.

I like that the screenwriters and authors were given the stage in terms of their importance in scripts and adaptations.

The other actors he acted with are also pretty mature instead of the usual dog-blood drama where one actor would act all high and mighty and then the MC will have to fight for that role like in other showbiz novels. I think it's mainly because his roles so far are for low budget TV dramas so the other actors and the production team are pretty down to earth. That, and the fact that he sees losing a role a normal thing for actors so if it's taken from him, he shrugs it off like a normal person. He acted with one jerk but that guy wasn't replaced because the director didn't want to waste money and time.

The one I like so much is Shao Yao! He's naturally funny and cute! A very funny giant. He's like a kid huhuhu. I wanna hug him??? Unfortunately, he's surrounded by a bad influence (MC) lmao. He's so cuuute! (Also, their drama together is my favorite so far. The suspense, supernatural, and mystery made their drama really interesting. It kind of makes me want a show like this.)

Obviously, MC has a lot of enemies. But I do have to admit that the most annoying one is this older guy who hates the director MC worked with. He's actually very cold-hearted and would use even those he deemed as his students and friends to destroy someone. He's good at hiding his flaws with a mask of a wise and fair man.

I actually want him to go down because he's such a greedy a**hole.

As for the OG's former group members, they're pretty annoying and way too arrogant after they stole the OG's resources like some parasite. Them and their company are so freaking shady, I'm so glad the OG was kicked out instead of remaining there.

It's almost always repetitive.

The MC faces trouble, he fights back. The audience mocks him, he proves them wrong. They believe he's going to flop, he proves them wrong.

This kind of writing is very boring if the only excitement in between are a few crumbs. At the very least, this novel is okay. It's not the best and it's not the worst.
