I loooove it. Seo Hoyun is such a wonderful character. Sometimes I got frustrated with his lack of trust and that he never spoke when he should have but still I understood why he acted like that. The story is super interesting and every character is as charming as hoyun. I wish they show more interaction between hoyun and hojin but that was good too.

decent, it's okay 👍👍 to be completely honest, it gets quite boring sometimes. absolutely love the noeuls discussion posts though, theyre so funny LOL.

if I was in worse mood, I think I might have given this a 2.5 but my head is pretty clear today so I wont give a biased rating!

if you like scheming protagonists and are looking for something light fluffy and very found family-ish, this is the novel for you! I dont know if its the authors writing or if the translation sucks but the writing is... more>> pretth wonky imo.... not to the point it woulf affect your reading though. <<less

It was an enjoyable read for me but unfortunately, it hasn't been updated in a while and we don't know when it will.

I can't seem to have enough of idol isekai stories. Especially ones with a level up system like this one. Accompanying the MCs as they improve is really fun and pleasant.

The MC in this one is not actually tr*sh, but extremely blunt and kinda emotionally inept. He also doesn't trust others with important matters and has a tendency to do everything in his own. A trait that his... more>> teammates will point at several times.

I love all of his group members, (Although I have a particularly soft spot for Kang Ichae). They all have their own personality and are well fleshed out and they're all extremely lovable.

Currently, at chapter 109, there are still many unanswered questions. About the reason Hoyoon came to this alternative world, what the system is and what it wants, all the ways the characters are somehow related to Hoyoon, who are the ones who still remember Hoyoon from his original timeline, and there's also this huge mystery about a certain character called Min Jiheon and who/what he is.

I'm left with a lot of cliffhangers, but that only makes the novel even more interesting. <<less

My second Kpop idol novel! With the freshness of the genre and relatability to fandom gone, I surprisingly really enjoy this?! In fact, even more than the 1st?!

As a self-confessed system hater (especially with forced dialogue), I didn't expect myself to enjoy the novel so much. It helps that the OPness of the skills system isn't as apparent here and the annoying level of the system was reduced significantly. At 100 chapters, we are finally getting into the meat of the story!
