Constellation, I Want To Be An Idol

My Thoughts on Constellation, I Want To Be An Idol

"Constellation, I Want To Be An Idol" presents a fascinating blend of genres, a concoction that initially grabbed my attention with its quirky premise. The idea of merging the competitive world of idols with the supernatural elements of constellations and gods sponsoring them felt fresh and exciting. It's a premise that promises a unique take on both the idol and hunter genres.

First Impressions

The initial chapters were undeniably captivating. I found myself drawn to the main character and the comical relationship he develops with his constellation. The lighthearted tone made it an easy and enjoyable read, and I was eager to see how the author would develop this unusual concept. The early parts of the story have a fever dream quality that makes the reader want to keep reading.

What Works Well

The novel's strength lies in its characters. Each character feels like they have their own depth, even the minor ones. This is especially true for the main character and his constellation. The mix of idol and hunter elements is also well-executed, creating a unique and engaging world.

Areas of Concern

As I progressed, some aspects fell short of my expectations. While the title emphasizes the "idol" aspect, I felt this was somewhat underdeveloped. The idol-related content mainly focuses on the group's survival competition and debut, but lacks depth in areas like fan interactions and the intricacies of the idol industry. I also found the plot a bit too convenient at times. The MC faces setbacks, but they are resolved quickly, which reduced the tension and made it feel like he had plot armor.

Final Verdict

"Constellation, I Want To Be An Idol" is a solid read with a unique premise and engaging characters. While it may not fully deliver on the "idol" aspect, it offers a lighthearted and entertaining story with a blend of fantasy and slice-of-life elements. If you're looking for a novel with a fresh concept and a focus on character relationships, this might be worth checking out. However, if you're primarily interested in a deep dive into the idol industry, you might find it lacking.
