This is the kind of novel that a reader would transmigrate into so they could overturn the main protagonist and save the plot/world from ceasing to exist.........

The main protagonist is really something...* (not in a good way.) 0 to minimal character growth..

It is one of my favorite novels. The MC is kind of hostile against most other countries, but I like him anyway. To me it is most important that the story is fun. The only downside is that the novel will forever stay unfinished. I did not read all the chapters that were released, because I was afraid that I might not be able to handle it if the story suddenly stopped.

IRAS at the first glance was just your typical MC being transported and started to use the earth knowledge for his life, but it was not executed really well, firstly, let's talk about the Protagonist personality and behavior, he was an absolute a**hole, he was good on his friends or his country, no denying that, but that constant racism and nationalism was deeply implement on his soul. It sometimes make me wonder how this guy given this opportunity to be transported, his personality had no change, even when he got a family, there was slight change and overall he is still the same.

Let's talk about the plot, simple, "faceslapping" and plagiarism, I don't even think why those upper people had this kind of personality, and I don't even get it why they become jealous, and the execution of Plagiarized work is kinda worse for me, I like novels that had this concept of using other works, but some are good because it was well executed, but what about this MC, he just used them, and I'm totally offended by it, not just he played the part of plagiarism of Anime content to faceslap Japan, he was an hypocrite, he just end it on there, he even use the novel winning peace to win the 'western' Nobel prize, which in his character is a nationalist and racist, there are lots of part in the novel that had this situation.

It would've been good if not for so much pettiness of the MC. The story foundation itself is refreshing but the MC when he becomes petty is very annoying. He's a RACISlT and with all caps at that... so hard to get pass this to the point I wanted to skip these moments

I was specially struggling to accept about his "hate" towards koreans (like how south korea dislike japan) in a historical and political context but, he is too unreasonable and much too biased. I'm not sure if I can say this as a character flaw or the author's flaw. I also skipped may fillers because they were long winded and had no point. I like that it was technical, somehow giving more credibility to the world building but a lot of stuff seems to get swept under the rug and too many convenient situations are happening. Like which are similar with old and new world or he always has a magical item when he needed it. His use of the red string baffles me the most. It makes it seems like the author is desperate to get a harem tag..

[collapse]

I still want to see what plot this story has in store but this non-stop face slapping makes me tired. I'll forge on and update my review when I get further <<less

I am giving 4 rating instead of 5 because,

    1. this novel is too long.
    1. MC could have used other method to fight his opponent but he will always scold his opponent on internet or he depends on FL for safe passage. For example he could have used hacking/martial arts to destroy his opponent but he will not do that.
Now the reason why I have give 4 rating instead of 1/2/3 for this novel.
    1. Author has written skit/cross talk beautifully in this novel.
    1. The plots are simple. You won't get bored if you are reading 20-30 chapters daily.

It's honestly a well written novel. The characters are funny and the MC is pretty interesting. The main goal isn't to become famous in one area like other novels of this type, the only thing that Zhang Ye wants is to become famous in general. The money while helpful doesn't matter, he only wants the accolades. As such he pretty mercenary (though he wants to be loyal) and bounces are different fields.

What really helps him is the fact that a lot of ... more>>

modern media in our world doesn't exist in his new world. Therefore a combination of his knowledge of the Old World and the system that is guiding helps on the path of achieving fame.

I will saw one thing that prevents me from giving this novel 5 stars is that I think it's too long. It gets very formulaic. Still enjoyable but you're able to tell what going to happen. Also the novel gets pretty jingoistic at times. Even though
Spoiler

he's blatantly stealing the work of others

[collapse]
, including foreigners he tends to be quick to insult other countries. But I'm sure it plays well in China. So yea, Zhang Ye is a massive hypocrite who does work hard but seems to forget that these aren't his works or ideas.

But fortunately the ultra nationalist moments are few and far in between. Mostly it's a light and pretty enjoyable read and if you're looking for something fun the translation is so far that it'd be good time to get in. <<less

Well at the start, the novel is starting up pretty good. There is a lot of plot progression or maybe there are just a lot of chapters. I rated it 5/5. But as I caught up and read the latest chapter, FILLER chapters are getting numerous.

Like in a chapter, only 1 sentence is important and the rest are filler/insignificant details. Sometimes the whole chapter is even a filler. Worse is if is followed by two or more filler chapters and finally followed by a chapter with one sentence plot and filler for the rest.

What are these fillers?

You can imagine how netizens reaction took a lot of part in a chapter like

Person1 called

Person2 called

Everyone called.

Another type of filler is the netizen's reaction. Like,

PersonA is shocked

PersonB is shocked

and so on

Or

Random Netizens talking/cursing their reactions like

PersonZ: F*ck he really didt it!

PersonY: ZY is too awesome!

These fillers mostly/fully contain every chapter. So I rated it 2/5 for the later part of the novel for an average of 3.5/5. There are still some that I have yet to mention but I'll just avoid spoiling.

Note: If you really want to enjoy the plot of the story and avoid fillers, it's best that you accumulate chapters first for at least 4-5 then read it.

Nevertheless, nothing is better than your own review so read it and wrote one. Cheers!

It's a fun read. I didn't expect to like it as much as I did.

Positives

It's fun to read and not nearly as repetitive as you might assume

... more>> MC may not be the best person but his enemies are a lot more annoying so its fun to watch them be wrong.

MC can be very selfless sometimes

MC is self aware that none of his accomplishments are his and this makes his gloating more shameless and funny than just arrogant

Negatives

The MC doesn't really use his system that well in my opinion. He severely underestimates the powers of stat boosts and items. Normally I'd agree that skills are the best but he kind of takes it to an extreme. Plus he barely ever uses luck boosting items when doing his lottery even though it works so well the first time.

His nationalism is close to if not past the point of racism. He also became an actual cyber terrorist for a while. This was mainly for revenge against foreign hackers but is implied to have destroyed the lives of many innocent people. Even he feels bad about it for a little while. Try not to think about it. This is a comedy.

I'm kind of getting tired of the whole...

Everyone: He's done amazing things but he couldn't possibly do this thing

MC does the thing

Everyone: We won't underestimate him again

Sexting subplot is kind of cringeworthy <<less

Decent read if you are into the alternate universe sort of the thing. The main character is transferred to another world where history is majorly altered in his favor and he also gets an ability that lets him get other abilities although through a lottery (lol not really though). If you can get past the obvious nationalism and ideals though, it is as I said a decent read. If you can't stand those sort of stuff though you will get annoyed and lose interest relatively quickly. Would have gotten a... more>> better rating if not for the character inconsistencies. If you can't stand national bias this isn't for you. The novel is all about Chinese supremacy no matter how much it tries to say or make it seem otherwise. <<less

I am Really a Superstar is the same thing as the - FUN!

The plot is original, not about be the most powerfull person in the world nor the most rich, Zhang Ye just want to be a "Superstar". In my country there is so much people with the same dreams and same problem that Zhang Ye has: He is just a normal guy. But Zhang Ye don't give up on his dream, he will fight for it until the end of his days. He goes to another world, similar to his world, where famous works from his world never appered and he will use it to fight for his dreams.

IRAS has the ups:

1 - Original Plot

2 -
Spoiler

The lottery of the game system

[collapse]

3 - How he get out of bad situations

Downs

1 - Repetitive

Spoiler

He get employed, he do something that someone will not like and that someone will get trouble for him, he curse that someone and he is fired, back to the start line

[collapse]

2 - Racism/ultra nationalist

Spoiler

There is racism, a lot, there is a arc where he does a talk show and he just curse korea in that arc, just that

[collapse]

If there is no problem with the racism for you so a think it's a good novel, but that problem makes the novel stay with 4.0.

Fun, lots of reaction chapters, comedy.

The MC's actual skill seems to be god-like memorization. He's able to repeat an entire novel word for word within 5 minutes.

The not so fun:

MC has big plot armor - initially, his lottery doesn't really feel like a lottery. In the beginning, he gets the items he exactly needs in the current or soon to be current situation. This shifts in the later chapters though, because it is rendered moot when he can use lucky bread on the lottery to manipulate what he needs. Not... more>> really liking how he get people manipulation items, like charm on his eyes, charm on his voice, red string of fate, etc. Feels like brainwashing. There's a fine line between manipulating people's actual feelings and actual charisma, and he's toeing it a bit. And even if the other people notices the sudden change, everyone just accepts it even with his superficial reasons. There's also when he searches back his memory with his memory capsule, and within minutes he's on stage ready to perform, and then author mentions how the thing he's plagiarizing from doesn't exist in the world. How does he know for sure? Did he do any research on that exact person right before he got on stage? I doubt it.

The neutral:

many rival celebrities are arrogant, even though their just small fishes. They're also kind of dumb, or rather they lack foresight. Not sure why the Heavenly King celebrity would be able to garner more attention than a hijacking of an airplane, especially one that was stopped. Pretty sure a hijacking would garner more attention in our world, since it would make international news rather than some star in a foreign land being famous. But I'm assuming its because of the world's circumstances. Since 9/11 didn't happen in their world, nobody knows what it's like to lose someone from a hijacking, and thus the fame would be less. If something like 9/11 did happen, he would have even more fame, probably. <<less

This a story about a man who has an endemic memory... well, gains the ability of an endemic memory, travels to another world, so he can shamelessly plagerize every great song, peom, book, idea of our world, and has absolutely no scruples about saying it was an original creation he made on the spot.
