(Update at the end, I've read up to chapter 136 of the MTL but I dropped it) Hm, I'm not sure on how much I should give this LN. I've been reading the 4 works of this author, this one is pretty similar to "I Help the Richest Man Spend Money to Prevent Disasters", the FLs are pretty much the same, the ML is also similar. I like the situation here better though. The FL has a better reputation since the beginning and is instantly shipped by netizens with the ML. I like it when they are shipped instead of his fans being jealous, I'm all for fans supporting their idols' relationships.I don't really agree with the ML's way of doing things though, it's like the typical k-drama. He just won't give up! Honestly I don't want him to give up either and I'm like pls don't give up, bond with Dudu. But honestly if I were in her situation and I truly disliked him I'd be super annoyed. Based on some hints given through the story Spoiler
they were probably lovers in their past life or something, plus that's not new to this author. I'm guessing that's why her music feels nostalgic to him.
[collapse]So that just makes this more heartwarming. But if the situation were different... if he weren't the ML, if he weren't her baby daddy, it'd just be super annoying, he doesn't know he's the dad anyway so why is he chasing her so confidently? I know he's a great catch but I don't like entitled men that can't face rejection. It's too contradictory and she doesn't behave according to common sense tho which gives him a slight glimmer of hope. Ignoring this it's not too bad, I'm just gonna chuck this complaint to the back of my mind, it's a fairly relaxing read and I still want to see them become a cute family. But really, men, don't imitate his behavior, you aren't an ML. UPDATE: For some reason I MTLed most of it, I don't think it was worth it. As for the romance I guess it eventually made sense why he chased her like that and she accepted him consciously so I have nothing against it. My previous guess was correct so when she found out she accepted him and it turned into a touching cute true love story. Anyway imo this story is good as small doses of dopamine idk haha, it was more enjoyable reading the updates than binge reading it. It's not a super memorable story, by the time I MTLed this (which wasn't even a month after I had started this) I had already forgotten about a lot of the novel. The thing is that this author's works are way too similar!! They recycle stuff (even the plot of one of the films she worked on, or 2 actually were super similar), so are their family relationships, even the love story, etc.Anyway that's not the biggest issue, the thing is that this story lives off the face slapping, the love story and Dudu, when I dropped it most stuff had been solved so I struggled to finish it, although there were only about 10 chapters left but I am not even curious of what could happen, these past chapters have been boring anyway and it just turned into bragging about her accomplishment. Another issue is the lack of accuracy with how showbiz actually works, or acting, but whatever, this is just the author's style, and I've read enough of their works to know the style but still I find it annoying. Especially how they show that someone acts well, if you "suppress" the other actor you are automatically the best, that is not even being a good actor, a good actor could also act as the weak character. She often ends up changing the plot after a roach tries to slap her or changes the lines and she turns her character into the winner. Plus in this particular work the MC wasn't even an actress in her past life, she was excused as being hard working but her accomplishments aren't something someone would get after being hardworking for a year. Might as well have given her a golden finger that excused her talent. Eh, anyway my biggest issue is that eventually it turned boring. This is good tr*sh if that's what you are looking for and I enjoyed each update, I never took this seriously anyway, but when I was reaching the end and this turned boring all of my complaints came out. I will drop IHTRMSMTPD too... it's basically the same, but FW seems way better done so I guess I'll keep up with it for the time being.
