Good novel so far. The author puts a lot of emphasis on movies and music. Sports (basketball) and mathematics are also focused on but to a lesser degree. The MC is.. Interesting. He's pretty humble for somebody who gets as much praise as he does. The system gives him a mixture of abilities for personal use (i.e beginner mathematics or beginner basketball) and songs/movies from his previous world that he can put out in the new world. I feel like the story would be better if the characters were college students instead of high school students but I'm guessing the author made it this way to showcase the academic excellence of the MC. MC is kind. Although his biggest acts of kindness are coerced by the system he does do other acts of kindness of his own accord. He also puts a lot of importance on his adopted family/close family friends and helps them out every chance he gets. MC didn't want to be famous in order to avoid drama but the system basically forced it on him. The plot is mostly about the MC creating his movies/songs and the impact they have along with a focus on how the MC wows everybody with his advanced personal skills. I personally prefer the movie arcs to the music arcs as the music arcs start to drag a bit. The story is paced pretty well. 300 chapters in I think almost a year has passed as the story started when MC was about to start the school year and now it's summer vacation. The story does get boring at times though.What brought the novel down from a 5 to a 4 for me (other than the occasional boring segment) is the romance. MC pretty much refuses to do anything romance related. I can respect that but when it's painfully obvious he has several girls gunning for him, a few of which he has a close relationship with, ignoring all signals gets old fast. I'm just hoping this doesn't become one of those novels in which the MC just stays away from all romance until the end. There's huge potential for romantic subplots.All in all I give it a 4/5 with one star being taken away for boring parts and disappointing romance.
