I managed to make it to chapter 120 before deciding to drop this novel.The novel gives me slice of life vibes without really being slide if life. I think it's the narration style, it just doesn't really gel with me.It comes across as having the typical transmigration, fate changing plot, but that takes a backseat. It feels like this novel has a lot of different plots and it's just too much for one novel.It focuses on the mc's career more than anything. The romance is definitely slow, and I would also say lacking. I couldn't feel any chemistry between the MC and ml, even at chapter 120!There are a lot of characters in this novel but none of them really feel fleshed out. To be honest, that's the story as a whole. A bit of a mash up of lots of storylines that could have been great if they had more substance.A lot of detail went into the wrong things (but that's just my opinion). For example - there are scenes where it cuts to random side characters - some which exist only for this section - and there's a detailed chapter describing the movie, which really didn't add anything to the story. There's even some very detailed gaming sections!I also found the timeliness confusing. By chapter 120, 3 years had passed but I felt like not a lot had happened and I don't even know where the first year went!If the plot had delved more into the typical transmigration, face slapping, reversal line, I would have found it more engaging. Even with the focus on directing, if the relationships and side characters were fleshed out and focused a bit more, this story could have been great.I wouldn't recommend this novel, but you may be interested in it if you enjoy a slow paced novel that doesn't focus on romance, or if you want something senseless to read.
