I haven't completed the novel due to its extensive length, but I felt compelled to share my thoughts.
World Building: It takes place in our world, set around the early 2010s, with a unique twist.
Character Development: The author excels at creating vivid characters; each individual has a distinctive personality. There's a slight risk of encountering unflattering portrayals of celebrities, like Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, but overall, they remain relatable and likable. The author also skillfully shifts perspectives to Renly's fans, providing insight into their admiration, which adds depth.
Renly himself is portrayed as a charming gentleman and genius, a consensus among the narrative. However, I'd appreciate if his past life had a more significant impact on his character, as I occasionally forget about his reincarnation aspect.
Cons: The humor attributed to Renly might seem amusing in the original Chinese, but when translated, it loses some of its charm. It's a minor issue, though, compared to having a character that's not overly dull or awkward.
Translation: There are currently 600 chapters available online (450 when I started), and the remaining need to be manually translated. Fortunately, the language is relatively simple. Using tools like DeepL enhances the translation, although it takes longer than directly translating on Google.
In conclusion, as an avid entertainment industry enthusiast, this novel ranks high among my favorites. It delves into extraordinary detail about films and the industry, although sometimes the level of detail can be overwhelming.
