It's a very fun story and quite cute as well! It's not a super original plot line and mostly just follows MC's rise to success, but its a pretty good, light hearted story.MC's gimmick is that she's "not like other girls celebrities" and even though she's a super pretty and cute girl, she does embarrassing/normal stuff like gain weight whilst doing an live eating broadcast/mukbang or look extremely worn out and unwilling while she's working out. She's very laidback but by no means is she dumb. It's refreshing that she's not some super-perfect actress with world domination level acting/movies as well, she's a good actress but not some god level "omg no one else can compare!" kinda thing. While she is down-to-earth and it's fun to read about her antics, my only dislike about the story is that the glowing reception she receives for everything and anything coupled with her exceptional luck can be a little grating. A lot of opportunities fall into her lap via luck and she gets onto the hot search/trending list so easily and constantly that it's not even significant anymore.Plot wise, it's really just about her life in the entertainment industry/actress and becoming more and more popular. Honestly, the whole "novel" concept in the beginning should be thrown away. The protagonists of the "book" that MC lives in aren't even mentioned by name until one throwaway scene where MC and the protagonist meet near the end. Spoiler
Since I read this before the romance was tagged, I think it worked in the story's favor by being a surprise for me. The ML and MC are honestly very cute together!! When the romance started to pick up, I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked them as a couple and how I was hoping they were going to end up together, and they did! The pacing was done quite well and because the ML and MC only started their romance later on, it never felt unbalanced or that one was better than the other. The first half of the story was mostly just all about MC and her acting career, which wasn't bad but a lot of it simply went "MC goes to show, does quirky thing, audience loves it, show becomes success", and when the romance finally kicked in, it was a refreshing change of pace and succeeded in keeping me reading until the end. Their child is so well behaved and adorable in the end! 💖 [collapse]While it has it's faults, overall it's a good story with an MC who isn't dumb or perfect and she does face her own problems. If you're looking for a light hearted, quite fluffy story about an actress whose down-to-earth and quirky, this is a good one. I do suggest reading this paced out instead of one whole binge however, as I stated before, her glowing reception/luck can get annoying at times when it's continuously occurring and can feel like everyone is her fan/can do no wrong.
and even then, it was just to make the novel protagonist be her fan.
