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.

"Oh my goodness, finally someone has noticed! Thank you so much. I've read up to around 450 pages, and I absolutely loved it from there. I tried searching for it on various websites, but I couldn't find it. Anyway, I'm really excited!"

"By the way, does anyone happen to have a link to the raw scans? If you do, please share it with me. I'd be incredibly grateful!"

Finally! It's about time someone took on this Webnovel! This novel is an absolute must-read. Although the translation could use some refinement, I'm thrilled that someone's picked up where others left off. The initial 450 chapters are available on Webnovel, featuring a mix of decent translations and machine-translation parts. Regardless, this gem stands out among the rest. It's one of my all-time favorites, and I assure you, you won't be disappointed. I don't often leave comments, but this is truly a delightful read!

Completed chapter 450, thoroughly enjoyed the translation. It was a delightful read that introduced me to some fantastic films and even motivated me to attend a live theater performance for the first time. The protagonist, having been reborn into a different life, takes advantage of his new circumstances to rise in Hollywood. The inclusion of real-life celebrities and pop culture references added to the charm of the story. However, the writing is quite average; better translations might elevate it. The impact of his previous life on him is minimal, barely touched upon. The romantic subplot emerges later, seamlessly integrated into the narrative, although personally, I found the chosen couple somewhat unappealing. I particularly admired the character's passion for acting.
