TLDR: The story is a good time-killer or if you just want an MC that gets badass moments that people wouldn’t dare dream of. //However, there is no character development nor depth in any of the characters. They are all puppets to compare to MC to make him stand out, I have yet to see consequences for the MC (doubt from others that lead to intense drama, friend-breakups, psychological damage etc). The writer’s hand is very obvious in this one (how everyone coincidentally views MC in a positive light (other than the cannon foddlers) I wanted to see guilt or shame or anything from MC. Since he (supposedly) knows how gruelling the art industry is, I was expecting him to either be extremely guilty or greedy. Like a goose that lays golden eggs, one would either hide it like a family heirloom or guilt over it on how they trample on their competitors’ hard work. Yet, the focus is only on the misunderstandings. A compliant is that they are overwhelmingly positive. There were also two missed opportunities that could’ve been the consequence. One was Spoiler
his long time actor friend found out that he acted very good, imagine if your best friend was secretly something you strived to be yet they not only hide it but also didn’t help you strive for it. Regardless of MC circumstances, if I was that friend, I would’ve at least had a sliver of hate or jealousy.
