My Thoughts on After Spectating Gossip, the Entertainment Industry Thinks I’m a Big Shot

This novel, "After Spectating Gossip, the Entertainment Industry Thinks I’m a Big Shot," was quite the ride! It's a comedic fantasy with a dash of romance and shounen ai, set against the glittering backdrop of the entertainment industry. While it might not be a groundbreaking literary masterpiece, it certainly delivered a healthy dose of entertainment.

First Impressions

Initially, I was drawn in by the premise: a protagonist armed with a gossip system who unexpectedly becomes a big shot. It felt fresh and offered a unique spin on the often-trodden ground of entertainment industry novels. The early chapters were particularly engaging, filled with humor and intriguing character introductions.

What Works Well

The humor is definitely a standout. The misunderstandings that arise, particularly the grand delusion that the MC and ML are secretly linked, are hilarious. The side characters, especially the MC's manager, Sun Hongfei, add so much to the comedic flair. I also found myself enjoying how the MC uses his gossip system to help those down on their luck, giving them second chances and turning their lives around. It’s satisfying to see justice served, and the way the MC builds his company and supports his artists is genuinely heartwarming. The author's ability to create distinct and memorable characters is also praiseworthy. Each artist has their own unique backstory and personality, making them more than just cardboard cutouts.

Areas of Concern

The romance takes a backseat for much of the novel, which might disappoint some readers looking for a central love story. The ML's presence is somewhat limited until later in the story, and their relationship development is slow-paced. Some plot points felt a bit too convenient, and the villains occasionally lacked depth, bordering on caricature.

Final Verdict

Overall, "After Spectating Gossip, the Entertainment Industry Thinks I’m a Big Shot" is a fun and lighthearted read. If you're looking for a novel with a clever protagonist, humorous misunderstandings, and a feel-good story about second chances, this might be right up your alley. Just don't go in expecting a deeply romantic or intricately plotted story. It’s a great pick for when you want something entertaining and easy to dive into. I'd give it a solid 4 out of 5 stars.
