The MC is just unlikeable for me. it's also one of those HW FF where the MC just pulls scripts out of his ass. If you don't like that, then this ain't for you.
Your typical CN Fic. Its tolerable since I know the characters but it just became too repetitive. There's no story outside of the nonstop appearance of different female leads from different horror franchise.
I like the writing, it didn't rely on word padding. However, there's too much wish fulfillment. At 16, he wrote 10+ novels and directed a movie already.
This honestly killed the vibe for me, no steady progression whatsoever.
Zero story progression. We got an kid MC who's stucked on a time loop due to a failed audition. I'd be fine w/ it if it was due to unpreparedness, but he wasn't booked because a Nepobaby already booked the role. Currently at his 150+ retry, and it's still the f**king same day at ch 1.
There's also nonstop unneccessary hollywood factoids inserted everytime.
Edit: Ever since Spiderman 2's creation and release, the story went snail pace. The author seems to lack the ability to move on and can't stop these reaction chapters to Spiderman-2 and the OST. The latest update ch 1796-1803 is just MC getting off a plane and going to the hotel. The rest are just reactions, like for freaking real! I'm not even exaggerating at this point.
Enjoyable read, MC's interaction with his friends are not full of toxic CN dialogues.
Would rate this higher if it wasn't filled with fillers, a premiere + reactions + box office reveal + another reactions would sometimes take at least 50 chapters.
I'm currently at ch 1.6k and it's only the first half of 2004. So it's like 400-450 chapters for a year, that's how slow the pacing.
I also find the fashion and music parts boring. These chapters took a huge chunk from the pacing, just more reason to write reaction chapters.
The narrative also doesn't change, MC is a vase blah blah blah. It gets annoying and you'll just skip those parts.
Among the better Naruto fic you can find here. The expositions are rational and more often times have merit. The Golden finger ain't too OP, and MC's progress is gradual. It's also more realistic and not Cartoonish. I'm getting sick of Naruto fics with all sunshines and rainbows where MCs could easily ask or seek for Jutsus and get buddy buddy with the Kage of their village.
The story is quite bland, but it's enough for your daily dose of smack. AI Translation also did a great job, once you fix the names and you're all set.
