Transmigrated as the Cannon Fodder Abandoned by the Movie Star Chapter 74 Discussion

I kept rolling my eyes at the repetitive anthomorpic expressions from the author and how 'experientialistic' the MC is that he's already an OP actor-material from the start. The entertainment circle parts are woefully boring.

Also, the revelation rumor of his marriage status Spoiler

in the net was the thing that made me drop this story. I can't help but be bothered that the netizen who confirmed that they saw the MC in the civil bureau was the employee of the civil bureau itself. There's even a pic taken secretly to prove it. There's zero privacy about your whereabout and even a random people you see in the street could literally ruin your career. And I've seen the same thing many times in CN entertainment circle novels. Is China really like that in real life? @_@

Now, to the bare bone of this story.

Spoiler

The MC transmigrated, live in isolation because he can't contact people, finally freed after two years since the system said so™, have no money so he was scouted as an artist because of his Beautiful Androgynous Chinese Face That Shakes The World (I have to emphasize the beauty crit, since it came up so often in the story), met ML who was downed by beauty crit and stray cat-like anthomorphism, then their journey to the la-la-land of Depressing Romance and Beautiful Misunderstanding, plot thicckens + su*cide warning, met family, face slapping, confessional award event, proposal, the end.

Alright, many reviewers already said how true this novel is to how real-life depression feels like. Idk much about that and I haven't taken any psychology class but I felt like the depression part was corny and showy.

It was a bunch of mess about what the author felt edgy enough to count as despression symptoms. From my unprofessional eyes, I would've thought that I was just reading about a lazy neighbor guy who throws away the things he couldn't use anymore and orders takeaway pizza everyday who would go out once in a while to be a cat-like beautiful actor.

C'mon, guys. This story is unrealistic. At the start of the story, the MC was normal 20 y.o-something man. What kind of depression an adult man could get from 2 years of being alone in big villa, loaded with riches and no one to bother you?

Hell, my adult 20 y.o-something brother would've buy a gaming PC with the highest spec in the market, installed the fastest bandwidth, build his own Netflix binge room and catch up with the piling TV series and games he hasn't have the time to touch. Even if there's strictly no contact to the outside world even with using internet because the story says so, there's still TV and PS5 goddamnit. Don't think that the readers are too s*upid, author.

Dropped. Go read Muted instead. I think that's the better representation.
