Description

“As everyone knows, since 1993, you have been nominated for an Oscar for your scripts every year. Why is it that you are rarely seen at the award ceremony?” “Having gone to the event with a highly anticipatory mood, only to then wait tensely for several hours before returning disappointed, experiencing this once or twice is enough for me.”——Forcing me to wear a dress that shows off my breasts for reporters to take a picture, to allow the eyes of men to eat their fill? It would be better to kill me! “You have written scripts tailored specifically for many stars. What allows you to always write suitable scripts for them?” “This is a matter of inspiration. I also have a very hard time explaining this, but generally, the stars have some characteristic that inspires me.”——If you reincarnate at this moment as well, I guarantee that you can also accomplish this. “In Hollywood, your s*x scandals truly are scarce. People have previously said that you are gay, so I would like to ask, do you have a boyfriend?” “I very much believe in fate bringing people together, as people can conclude from the scripts I write. I believe that one day, I will meet my true love.”——To be mentally gay or physically gay? Yeah, I choose the latter! A thirty year old male NEET wrecks Hollywood reincarnation romance. Our slogan is: Creating the most wicked garden of lilies in Hollywood history!

Hollywood Secret Garden Review & Spoilers - Novel Translator

My Thoughts on Hollywood Secret Garden

"Hollywood Secret Garden" presents a fascinating blend of reincarnation, gender-bending, and Hollywood ambition. I dove into the available chapters eager to see how these elements would come together, and I found myself largely entertained, despite a few hiccups along the way.

First Impressions

The premise is undeniably intriguing. Our protagonist, reborn as a girl in the past, decides to leverage their knowledge of future trends to make waves in the film industry. It's a familiar setup – the reincarnated genius – but the gender-bender twist and the Hollywood setting give it a unique flavor. The early chapters hooked me with their comedic tone and the protagonist's capable nature. I was immediately drawn into the world and wanted to see where the story would go.

What Works Well

The character dynamics really shine. The protagonist's interactions with their family and other characters feel genuine and add depth to the narrative. I particularly appreciate that the author seems to have a good grasp of social interaction, making the relationships feel believable. The story also doesn't shy away from showing affection between characters, which I found endearing. The promise of a "yuri" (lesbian) subplot adds another layer of intrigue, though it's still in its early stages. The blend of comedy, fantasy, and romance kept me engaged, and I found myself looking forward to each update.

Areas of Concern

The translation quality is a recurring issue. Some readers felt the translations were rough, with jumbled names and other errors that made it difficult to follow the story. Others have noted that the author's unique writing style, potentially using dialectal or archaic Chinese, makes translation particularly challenging. This inconsistency in translation quality can definitely detract from the overall reading experience. Also, I found the concept of trivializing success a bit unrealistic, I don't think it's possible to crib notes and make instant successes, even if you have the same actors.

Final Verdict

Despite the translation issues and minor plot concerns, I find "Hollywood Secret Garden" to be a promising and entertaining read. The unique premise, engaging characters, and comedic undertones make it a web novel worth checking out. If the translation quality can be improved, this story has the potential to become a real gem. I'm eager to see where the story goes and will be following its progress with interest.
