It's quite fun even if it comes across as shallow.

Where other stories deeply develop the music or characters this novel is interested in keeping pacing. The chapters move quickly and it always seems to want to show you more. I would recommend and wouldn't be surprised if this becomes very popular.

The translation got deleted as of this review and I used the dark arts of machine translate to read it. The story is sweet and the main character doesn't steal other peoples music unlike some other series I read. One of its major focuses is how music is made which is done very well. In the story the main character used to be arrogant but know he isn't, it kind of reminds me of a thing a musician I know said that you had to be arrogant to make it... more>> in the music industry. <<less

The story is quite good. I've been looking for stories like this for a while now so when I found this, I felt like I've struck gold.

I quite like how the MC doesn't go around and copy the songs from the future and instead he does his best to develop his composing skills. In addition, besides having great composing skills, he is also good at stage directing because of his experience from the past. With both of those abilities, I look forward to what his future will be. Still, its... more>> sad that he had to give up his dream of being a singer. But then, singing might also be agonizing as it not only remind him of his average talent but also of his family's suffering.

*I'm still not done with the story so anything that I said may be subjected to change. <<less

Pros:

The story itself has essence

The characters are fleshed out enough to be believable

Cons:

Translation is not the best but readable.

-Examples include: 3rd and 1st tense are mixed, word flow does not flow sometimes, and other smaller grammar issues.

Overall:

I recommend reading this because it has something different that normal novels. I can’t exactly place my finger down on it but I like it.

The pacing of the story is pretty good although some parts seems to be slightly drawn out. I enjoyed the overall plot and joruney taken was very enjoyable to read. It was fun to see the MC and the side characters grow and develop as the story progressed. The romance subplot in the story was not forced and seemed pretty natural.
