Description
When he meets him at the worst possible time, there is light in his life, and everything has been there ever since. Liang Xincheng is a little star who has always been lukewarm, relying on CPs to attract fans, causing Xia Yuanhang to misunderstand him and have a prejudice against him at the beginning. And yet, because of the attention and fans they have been getting from acting in the same drama together, the two tacitly reach a long-term CP agreement.

My Thoughts on Chasing the Light
"Chasing the Light" is a completed web novel set in the entertainment industry, and I dove in expecting a blend of drama, romance, and a touch of shounen ai. Overall, I found it to be a quick and easy read, though not without its flaws. It's the kind of story that's perfect for passing the time if you're looking for something relatively light.
First Impressions
The initial chapters were definitely a hurdle. The protagonist, Liang Xincheng, faces a lot of unfair judgment and misunderstandings. It was hard to watch him navigate the murky waters of the entertainment industry while being constantly mischaracterized. The coldness of the main love interest (ML) during this period was particularly frustrating, knowing that Xincheng harbored feelings for him. It felt like watching a slow-motion train wreck, and I was desperate for things to improve for the MC.
What Works Well
Despite the rough start, the novel does have its strengths. I appreciated the portrayal of both leads as hardworking individuals striving for success in a cutthroat industry. They aren't movie emperors or heirs, which made their struggles feel relatable. The novel also shines in depicting the subtle nuances of Xincheng's feelings for the ML. There were moments where his true emotions would peek through before being quickly suppressed, adding a layer of depth to his character. I also liked how the author expressed the MC's one-sided love in subtle ways.
Areas of Concern
The pacing felt rushed at times. The ML's change of heart felt sudden. He went from holding prejudice against the MC to confiding in him quite quickly. I also felt that the shift in their relationship could have benefited from more development. The novel is relatively short, so I understand the need to keep things moving, but I would have preferred a slower burn with more angst and pining. A little more time spent exploring the unrequited love could have added more emotional depth.

Final Verdict
"Chasing the Light" is a decent read if you're looking for a quick and relatively light story set in the entertainment industry. While the pacing could be improved and the initial chapters can be frustrating, the novel offers a glimpse into the lives of two struggling actors and their journey towards love. It's not a perfect novel, but it's enough to pass the time.
