A Blank Slate Regression for the Idol That Lost His Original Mindset Chapter 419 Discussion

I've been looking for a main rapper MC idol novel for a while and I'm glad I found this one.

So from what I've read unlike others I've read this one focuses on relationships that surround the MC with him being someone who struggles to understand emotions and how the things he says or does affect those around him.

It isn't a bad plot at all, it's enjoyable however the pacing is that of a snail.

My biggest dislike in this novel is that the villains have to poke the protagonist first for the plot to move on and for him to do something.

Cons

1. 1. Pacing -it's really slow, MC reviving his group for 200 chapters is alright, but another 200 chapters for another TV show the MC does ALONE is a bit of stretch.

1. 1. Promotions - When it comes to promoting their music at music shows we only get half a chapter of them, like it's literally a summary

1. 1. Competition-Theres two groups that compete them group A, being the best atm and then Group B they have a past with MC and his group mate hajun. Conflict between MCs group and these three drags for a long time, MC doesn't even warn his teammates about these guys sly behavior at all even after the antagonist from group A confronted one of his members, but MC does Nothing, he says he wants to bring them down when they are very popular? What for when u can just destroy them at their weakest??? He even mentioned there's no way there would be manipulation in terms of awards and so (that's naive for a mentally 27 year old mc)

1. 1. MC and Hajun have the most annoying storyline that loops everytime group B just exists, Hajun could've spoken up about his issues but he kept silent then blamed the MC. MC seems to be the only one who has to carry blame in that group, despite him trying his best this time around. Him being a character who doesn't think before he speaks he isn't to blame for a lot of the groups inefficiencies but in his past life he was at fault.

1. 1. Unfair ridiculous system-MC is at fault for wanting to pursue his dreams and for being genuine so he has to regress, save his group but he can't even keep being himself, his personality has to change to accommodate everyone, mind you his teammates were aware of his personality (from what I read and noticed with the first Regression) but barely tried to explain to him, they would only say hey it's how u said it or you shouldn't have done that but never explained to him why and MC wasn't interested either (what did they expect if that's how they responded?)

1. 1. Group A, the antagonist from this group has harmed MC and MC has suspected many times that it's them but he comes back after being harmed then forgets about it for 200 chapters and does nothing despite being suspicious. And why is the antagonist so dumb, a simple guess game, where he can tell whats up with MC, he just keeps rejecting what's obvious (plot armor for mc? I don't even know what to call making the villain an idiot for the sake of the plot)

1. 1. The unnecessary long chapters about the group members just chilling, practising, making music. And They've gone to three reality shows atm at 400 chapters, why just 3 in just 400 chapters?

1. 1. Why isn't our protagonist sabotaging any of his competitors? He's too normal like he just releases music, take pics and hopes his fans stream?? His competitors group A and B both have a high advantage against his group and he likes neither of them n they don't like him and his group either so why is it he's just leaving it to the fans?

1. 1. Scandals, dating rumors, b*lling*, plagiarism are all solved in just half a chapter or in a chapter (so imagine reading 10 chapters each about a dance practise or a live stream lol)

Pros-

1. 1. Hip hop storyline was really needed, it was different and new for me, to find one in an idol novel so 5stars

1. 1. Author seems to like referencing real life events which makes reading funny or nostalgic

1. 1. I for one, like MCs personality of being a blunt speaker, who lacks emotional intelligence but is trying to learn but it seems that his fault was being his true self. After Regression his personality is more fleshed out, he's still a bit blunt, learning but he's also showing a bit of vulnerability.

1. 1. Though he does Nothing most of the time, he's at least good at avoiding evil editing lol, knows what to do, lead his team and is smart just not that cunning, not at the level of 'tr*shy Pd has become an idol' anyway. He did get back at group B, but to me since it took so long and it was a roller coaster it wasn't that satisfying (so half a con)
   2. The villain from group A isn't just a Villain, hes someone who has his own reasons for going up against MC, which he also wants to save his own group just as MC wants to. He seems desperate and has some regrets towards his own group. I liked that it isn't a 'I don't like your face so I must make your life miserable' (lol) but rather he too, is serious about saving his group but it doesn't make me the reader cheer for them.

1. 1. When it comes to writing and ideas, it's very interesting and enjoyable to read

So to say, this novel isn't just about the Idol life the focus is on MC and his relationships, his growth and what he learns. So it's very slow paced like we're reading someone's life or biography, I don't mean this in a rude way or anything. The pacing is really slow but not unbearable to read.
