Transmigration of the Famous Cyber Star Chapter 261 Discussion

I love this novel a lot. The characters feel very realistic (even the villains, though sometimes you're left wondering if someone could be this dumb), and their character/plot development is so fitting as well.

So many times I read the start of a plot point and I thought "Oh, is this gonna go this cliche route?" then got surprised because it actually went a 'normal/realistic situation'

Spoiler

For example, when Tang Tu broke up with Shen Mozheng, I was fully expecting for Shen Mozheng to go to a cliche route of blaming Liu Man. But she turned out to be a normal character who recognize that their breakup had nothing to do with Liu Man, and in fact she thanked Liu Man for making her realize that Tang Tu doesn't worth her love. I love that arc so much.

Few other points:

1. Liu Man is not too OP. Yes, she is essentially 'perfect' but not everything fell into place perfectly for her and by her own merit. She is helped by so many people in her life and she recognized that.
2. The romance in this is also very heartwarming. They're both very supportive of each other and are e/o's motivations.
3. The side characters are so good!! I love the ever-changing friendship, sort of a reminder that not everything is going to stay the same, and that sometimes coincidences lead to the best friendships.
4. The villains ultimately got their punishment. Not everything is solved in that specific arc, sometimes they got their punishment way after that chapter. Spoiler

   Qiao Xin (I think that's his name?) secretly groped Liu Man when they were shooting a drama, and at that particular arc, his only punishment is there's rumor of it spreading around. But then way after that chapter, he finally got his punishment (although not only because of the groping incident) and it's very satisfying.

Of course there are moments where you realize its the protagonist halo at work but honestly, I still love this novel a lot.
