An Athlete Held up by an Entertainment Career Review & Spoilers - Novel Translator
My Thoughts on An Athlete Held up by an Entertainment Career
Okay, let me start by saying I'm genuinely bummed this novel is on hiatus. "An Athlete Held up by an Entertainment Career" had me hooked from the get-go, and discovering the last update was years ago felt like a personal betrayal! Despite my disappointment, I can see why it has such a high rating, even with its limited number of chapters.
First Impressions
The premise is fantastic: a talented individual transmigrates into a novel and is forced to navigate the entertainment industry while mastering extreme sports. It's a unique blend that immediately grabbed my attention. The main character is incredibly charming, calm, and fearless, making him easy to root for as he dominates in various athletic pursuits. It's a shame that the author discontinued the story since it had much more to explore.
What Works Well
What I particularly enjoyed was the focus on sports. The system rewards the MC with skills and provides training through coaches, allowing for detailed explanations of each sport, which I found fascinating. Even without the romance aspect, the sports elements and the glimpses into the entertainment industry were enough to keep me engaged. The MC's honesty is also refreshing; he doesn't need to lie and faces challenges head-on, even when limited by the world's will. The balance between the MC's seemingly OP abilities and the acknowledged challenges he faces is well-executed. For example, his figure skating skills were acknowledged to be lacking in technical skills.
Areas of Concern
The biggest concern, of course, is the hiatus. It's difficult to invest fully in a story when the author hasn't updated it in years. Some readers might find it difficult to accept that the MC immediately adapts to his new life, but the author could have been planning to reveal more about the MC's past, which would have been good. Also, some may not like the fact that the MC seems to master the sports so easily, but it is explained that he is a genius and works hard in the system's space where time is different.

Final Verdict
Despite the frustrating hiatus, "An Athlete Held up by an Entertainment Career" is a captivating and enjoyable read. The unique premise, charming protagonist, and focus on extreme sports make it a standout in the genre. If you're willing to risk falling in love with a story that might never be finished, I highly recommend giving it a try. I'm holding out hope that the author will one day return to this hidden gem.
