Electronic Musician's Transmigration

A music critic transmigrated into a world without his, now her, favourite genre. She decides to change that, with nothing but her brains, and her love for Electronic Music. As she navigates through this new world, she encounters many challenges, from fierce competition to sexist attacks. But she won't let that stop her from reaching her goals. With her quick wit, and a little otherworldly knowledge, Tang Miaoyi sets out on a journey to build her reputation and restore a lost genre to this new world. ____________ First of all, this is a translation. Other people here have tried translating this before, but no one I've seen has gotten past chapter 30. Shout out to Tenison, because they're the reason I found this novel in the first place. Second, this won't be a 100% accurate translation. I'm doing this so other people can read this book and because I love the concept of it. Of course, in typical web novel fashion, Chinese nationalism and casual sexism are rampant in the source material, so I try my best to remove that. I do make mistakes every now and then, so it won't be 100% accurate anyway, but I try my best. And since I'm basically writing fanfiction at this point, that's why it's in this section. Plus, the original author uses IRL song, place, and company names occasionally, so might as well, just to be safe lol. TLDR, It's a translation, and I'm translating loosely. I try to update at least once a day, and occasionally I'll feel a little silly and upload two. Oops! Anyway, tangent over. Hope you enjoy! (Cover by Skrecas)

Cut-end-less

If cuteness had no limits, would it be called cut(END)less?

(A/N: I'm NOT sorry.)

Is this really TMY? Totally adorable, strikingly beautiful, and ridiculously cute, and her dance moves were as sharp as a tack...

But hey, there's more! Jing Qiuhua and Song Ziyin made their grand entrance, each with their own distinct style. Alongside TMY's cat girl glam, the other two were adorned in graceful yukatas, forming a visually captivating trio.

And the surprise meter rose even higher – Lin Roufang also steps onto the stage!

In the middle of "Paradise," TMY, Jing Qiuhua, and Song Ziyin gracefully exit, creating an open center stage. And in walks Lin Roufang, clad in his signature cool outfit, radiating an air of nonchalance.

His arrival was a total showstopper.

With a classic slow-motion popping entry, he danced in harmony with the music's rhythm, evoking the feeling of watching a charmingly glitchy animated character. As a pro dancer, Lin Roufang flaunted his extraordinary dance skills and impressive body control. His movements glide seamlessly with the music, forming an entrancing symphony.

This marks a pivotal crescendo. The real magic kicked off during the electric guitar's solo section, where an array of pops explodes, executed with surgical precision. Even through the screen, the moves sizzle, sending tingles down the spine.

He threw in techniques like the Egyptian hand and more, breaking free from the urban dancer persona he's known for.

Turns out, this young man isn't just a choreography whiz; he's also a popping sensation!

When you think about it, his journey on "Street Dance of China" wasn't just a series of happy accidents.

As the competition rolled on, Lin Roufang soaked up the spotlight. This young prodigy had captured countless hearts through the show, rising from the underdog to become a fan favourite.

The ensemble for "Paradise" was a true spectacle, reaching the zenith of grandeur. An internationally acclaimed top 100 DJ, a majestic unicorn of electronic music, the princess of electro, and the 'supposedly' number one electronic music producer in China.

A remarkable rising star of Chinese electronic music, a vocal powerhouse with rock-solid singing chops, TMY's top-notch lead vocalist, and adored by hordes of fans.

Then there's Dream Girl's fearless captain, Song Ziyin, who won the 6th season of "China's Got Talent" and stands tall as a mentor-level figure on "Street Dance of China."

And now, tossing more pizzazz into the mix, a crowd-pulling contender from "Street Dance of China," an all-round dance powerhouse, Lin Roufang. Whispers in the wind suggest that Lin Roufang might be secretly scouted by the world-renowned Asian dance crew Kinjaz, which would make him their youngest member!

But here's the shocker of all shockers – according to those in the know, TMY, Jing Qiuhua, and Lin Roufang all share the same high school class, at Shanghai No. 7 High School. Cue the dramatic music...

Sure, we knew TMY and Jing Qiuhua were classroom buddies, but no one could've guessed that Lin Roufang was part of the squad too!

Is Shanghai No. 7 High School a portal to another dimension?

Not to mention anything else, just this lineup alone is enough to make you wonder if TMY secretly possesses the power to magnetically attract fans to her like bees to honey. It's like she's the Pied Piper of Bilibili, leading fans with her dance magic.

Leaving aside the fact that she's already got a posse of devoted followers rallying behind her, just consider the sheer star-studded collaboration she's managed to orchestrate in these videos. Who else among the up-and-coming stars could pull off assembling such a dream team?

"TMY has truly invested big in her video; it's as if you're not watching a dance but a full-fledged music video. The seamless interplay of different camera angles and equipment usage is so spot-on that it feels like a cinematic treat."

"In just three days, she's climbed the ranks to join the million-subscriber club of rising Bilibili stars. Someone better roll out the red carpet and the confetti cannon. But in all seriousness, this is no fluke. The success here is far from accidental. My gut tells me this might be just the start because after watching, I'm basically locked in..."

"Oh no, I'm stuck in a loop of dance obsession. How did I become a view count addict? I'm typing this with my tongue to prove my innocence!!!"

"Absolutely, I'm in the same boat – I can't escape."

This seems to be the universal sentiment shared by many viewers after watching her video.

These dances are like exquisite pastries, oozing an irresistible charm that's impossible to resist. Whether it's the melodies of the song or the dance itself, viewers are sucked into a mesmerizing loop of replay.

And here's the kicker...

Ever since the debut of "Paradise," there's been a noticeable dip in the play counts of many other top rising stars' recent videos. The numbers have dropped like a lead balloon compared to the past! Even now, they're struggling to reach even two-thirds of their usual play counts. It's nothing short of mind-boggling!

As these rising stars scratch their heads in bewilderment, they've begun to reevaluate their own work time and time again. And every path of introspection leads to the same destination...

Miaoyi! TMY!

It's inevitable. The view counts of those two videos are climbing faster than a squirrel on a caffeine binge, with no signs of slowing down. Once you dive into the barrage of comments, you'll see layers upon layers of remarks... Users are trapped, helplessly spiralling in a whirlwind of endless views, fueling the view count further. Switching to other videos? That's a distant dream.

First off, as soon as you step into the video, the comment section hits you like a rainbow-coloured tidal wave, all flashing the same phrase.

"Attention, non-combatants retreat! You can still save yourself if you leave now!!!"

Then, other comments flow like a river in full force.

"Gosh, this video is like a black hole!! Mom, send reinforcements, I'm trapped ( * ^ *) ノシ!!!"

"Amazing!! Can anyone teach me this dance? Coach, I'm all ears for a move-by-move breakdown!"

"Watched it 122 times and still craving more. Cat girls never lose their charm."

"Who are these four talents? The moves are good, but power and structure need a bit of a boost. That popping part was a bit hazy; they're maybe capitalizing on the cat girl look for some sales pitch."

"Boosting the sex appeal +1, congrats on the scandalous view count."

"Another dance guru surfaces. Can the keyboard warriors ever catch a break?"

"Boosting NM, did anyone miss that part??"

"If you're so clever, why not show us how it's done? Bilibili could use some tidying up, honestly."

"Hats off to the experts! Is it an unwritten rule that every dancer must be accused of selling sex? And do all popping dances need to be jam-packed with popping? Fun fact: the popper is a powerhouse contender on 'Street Dance of China,' and he's even a contender for Kinjaz dance crew. His moves have a stutter animation, but does your stutter animation have pop?"

"Why the backlash? I'm with the previous commenter; nothing extraordinary in my eyes. I've been dancing for two decades and I think the high view counts are due to the sex appeal, right? Shuffle dance is a dime a dozen nowadays; it's like staring at a disco ball."

"..."

I'm gonna start adding Miaoyi's songs here.

If I have an especially long message, I may skip adding it, as there is a character limit.

I'll also indicate whether or not songs have irl equivalents.
