For example, ML's past is already filled with hardship from like 13 (the number changes over course of story, dunno if it's translatiok error or author) when he tries to enter the industry and struggles with MC as his only fan, so trying to create a tragic family background by making him fight with his dad since childhood about his mother's death was just.... so unnecessary and strange. He never knew his mom, and I highly doubt he remembers much from before he turned 2 years old and got a stepmom (who he gets along well with and doesn't blame for possibly having an affair with his dad). Highlighting that he hates his dad more for his mom's death than being an actual bad dad after that feels ridiculous lol. This is just one of many ways it feels flat, like someone being arrested and then having court + a sentence literally the next day, a hospital with super rich patients never noticing a switch of three babies, the MC having pretty constant interactions with the ML through industry but always reacting the same way so it's nothing new or interesting, a famous chef grandpa who no one recognizes coincidentally being at the show and only introducing himself way later so no emotional impact, MC's fake family knows he treats them super well and loves them but they all hate him bc they think it's annoying even WITH the good experiences before Anran comes back... then all of a sudden feel heartbreak when he cuts them off lol. You also hear way more about side charas that had no presence or importance than charas like the Shen bros supposed best friend Ning Ze, lots of effort into writing fancy fun games in the show instead of the main plot, there was a whole survival show to talk about debuting but the story is almost over and the group's debut is never mentioned other than a literal single sentence, MC still hasn't debuted, the song he made ML was only announced and no follow up, its like they don't have careers outside of this little bubble. MC also doesn't aim for revenge so most of the interesting parts of the plot like the romance and showbiz part end don't feel entertaining after the stuff I mentioned earlier.

1. An Ran didn't really end with the ML in first life, but married someone else.

2. MC died first than AnRan (1st life)

3. ML begun to alienate AnRan when he saw the things xingsui (MC) left in the Jian house. Those are probably the things of the fan that encouraged the ML when he was having difficulties

like esp this one time when the bad guys posted a weibo post to pose, he did the same but in the comment said sike. 😂😂😂

also they said their age gap is 5/6 years but I feel like that's not possible? cos between MC and second brother, around 4-5 years and w the eldest brother should also be the same amount of difference and eldest is said to be close to ML because they grew up tgt...

the very first one was when they were talking about blood types. it was said that MC is type A and his fake fam is B and yet ltr they switch it.

another was when they mention they mentioned someone was in this entertainment company but ltr when it was mentioned again the company name changed.

the worst was when the author gave a name to his grandfather and then when the grandfather introduce himself, he gave a new name and the translator had to add smth to make it seamless.

istg when the part of him giving a song to an indie same s*x movie, I got deja vu cos I rmb another novel having the same ending whr the leads acted in one tgt and was lowkey grateful this novel didn't do the same but then our MC suddenly wanted to act and I got slapped lol. and when the ML said he wouldn't accept it, I was happy then I got slapped again.

I appreciate extra 4.1, very rarely or rather I don't at all, see novels talking about couples in the middle ages like 40+ so it's nice.

like extra 4.2:

hella sweet ig. but it doesn't make sense bcs it's said that his father remarried two years after his bio mom died from giving birth to him. so why tf is he saying that they are gonna get married while he's a teenage.

bcs my brain is rotten, I was lowkey shipping ML with eldest brother HAHAHAHAHA. bcs their banter/conversation top tier sh*t for me. I just like it.

after he left the program, he couldn't even afford a place to stay and would have slept on the street if not for a friend from the program. The agency

also only took up with him after Shen's family intervened. He published a photo of a bracelet from the MC, which led to heckling from his fans and he still remained passive

I keep waiting and waiting and yet where is the blood test result? not to mention that how can it be so “coincidence” for the Shen family to notice that MC is their lost son?
