Dating Show Side Character, Getting Rich by Roasting People Novel Review

My Thoughts on Dating Show Side Character, Getting Rich by Roasting People

I dove into "Dating Show Side Character, Getting Rich by Roasting People" with high expectations, and for the most part, it delivered a fun and engaging read. The premise is simple: a woman uses a system to roast people on a dating show and get rich. It’s a lighthearted comedy with shoujo elements that doesn’t take itself too seriously, which is exactly what I was looking for.

First Impressions

The initial hook is strong. The female lead, Chu Ling, is unapologetically herself, and I found her candidness refreshing. She's confident and doesn't try to conform to anyone's standards. Her brutally honest nature, while sometimes abrasive, is often directed at those who deserve it, making her a compelling character to follow. The dating show setting provides ample opportunities for comedic situations and face-slapping moments, which I thoroughly enjoyed.

What Works Well

The chemistry between Chu Ling and the male lead, Sheng Yi, is fantastic. He is not your typical overbearing CEO, which is a welcome change. Their interactions are hilarious, and their relationship develops in a sweet and satisfying way. I appreciated the way the author portrayed a couple who genuinely understood and supported each other, even when they were roasting others. The side characters, especially the original female lead, add depth to the story, and I enjoyed seeing Chu Ling's positive influence on her. The comedic undertones are well-executed, and I found myself laughing out loud frequently. The writing style is easy to follow, making it a quick and enjoyable read.

Areas of Concern

While I enjoyed the overall experience, there were a few aspects that could have been improved. The system element felt somewhat underdeveloped. It seemed to conveniently overlook Chu Ling's actions that deviated from the original plot, which created some inconsistencies. Additionally, the novel primarily focuses on the dating show setting, which some might find repetitive. A few more scenes outside of the show could have added more depth to the world-building.

Final Verdict

Despite its minor flaws, "Dating Show Side Character, Getting Rich by Roasting People" is a highly entertaining and enjoyable read. The strong female lead, the hilarious interactions, and the lighthearted tone make it a perfect choice for anyone looking for a quick and fun escape. I would recommend this novel, especially if you enjoy showbiz stories with a strong comedic element and a refreshing take on the romance genre. I’m giving it a solid 4 out of 5 stars.
