Chapter I'm up to: 35/Personal rating: 3/5
Honestly, this story is nothing particularly special or ground-breaking.It follows the trope where an experienced actor/singer/martial artist dies and is reborn again as an obscure newbie, and starts their legacy again from the ground-up. For some reason, BL authors seem to love this trope (perhaps because it's essentially a power fantasy?).Here, MC was former OP actor, now reborn as a teen and proceeds to act his way into fame. Each arc focuses on a new drama/movie, where MC proceeds to blast his way through with his OP acting skills and each time get amazing ratings and newfound wechat followers. Somewhat boring to read.MC is well natured, cutesy and somewhat sly.ML is outwardly cold but secretly doting. And creepy, although the author tries to paint his obsession as cute.Why creepy? ML barely interacted with MC (who is also technically underage to boot) but he instantly fell hard for MC. ML secretly stalks MC, creates fangirl accounts for MC... and even purchases several of MC's prospective rental properties to force MC to continue living with ML. Um, no thanks. It'd be tolerable if the author just didn't try to force the reader into thinking this was funny/romantic/cute. At this stage, I'd rather the ML not exist and just read about the MC doing his own thing.
