This is a great novel about a chinese-american by the name of Wang Yang he has always wanted to be a director going up until he finally gets accepted into USC movie something (i don't remember this) but two semesters in and he gets expelled due to a incident where he beat up a black kid they expelled him because the black kid said he was saying racial discriminatory words to him and right at the moment when Wang Yang was kicking his ass due to the black kid being racist to him for months a black professor walks by and sees the fight and so he is expelled this is the background of the story (oh and this is set in 1998 a year after titanic) The translation is good some grammar mistakes he and their but other then that it has been good. The stability of updates i won't say as it is a trial read. The story development is him making a movie because he doesn't want to go back to his parents to work in their restaurant and he makes a movie (paranormal activities) the reason why i did not give it a five here is because of how in the early chapters black people are antagonized. The character design there is not enough chapters for it to completely fleshed out wait another 40 or so chapters on this. So all around i recommend it 4.8 out of 5

Well this novel is an interesting read. It is nicely translated though I have come across a number of issues that I can only put down to laziness in not rechecking the work. Story begins with the author (studying to be a movie director) being expelled from his University on charges of racism. Amusingly the MC is Chinese and the accuser was African-American. Anyhow the charges are false but of course it’s a case of he said, she said and so he is booted. Whilst wallowing in misery he gains the ability to see movies from the future after being hit in the head by a baby stroller. So that’s is his super power, knowing future movies and being able to plagiarise them. No system, no special powers. The book itself reads well and has a nice story but that is it. I have nothing else to praise it over. The narrative is smooth but there is no grab to it. How many times can the MC direct a movie, produce a movie, invest in XYZ affiliated movie industry? I read up to about chapter 150 and even though I did enjoy reading the story, there was nothing to keep me invested in this. I appreciate the effort the author took to try and keep accuracy in his story however it again it felt like rinse and repeat of previous achievements. I really wanted to be invested in this and did give it a decent go, but it wasn’t to be. The author has decent skills so maybe he could have done this in another manner to keep readers involved. I did note some comments were 4 years old with only 251 chapters released. I suspect this was a trial read that never made the cut back then and WebNovel has pulled it out of the cupboard to see if it can make them some money. Overall it felt good but sadly I had to give up.

Rise To Stardom

Orphaned in the old world after taking care of his irresponsible and sick mother for years on end, Kyle finds his life turned upside down. His already dim world turns even gloomier and coupled with his trauma from losing her, Kyle felt like he had lost his purpose in life. Living day by day, akin to a soulless puppet, he struggled to keep his suicidal thoughts in check, all whilst trying to make ends meet as a cabbie. During those dark times, Kyle slowly begins to find solace in the world of music and movies. Even though it had always been there, it truly became something as a bloodline of sorts for him because, individually, both pieces of media, transported him to another world, one where he could feel happy, if even for a fleeting moment. And, as if the universe wanted even more for him, Kyle met some lovely old people, all of whom treated him as the son they never had, making him feel like he had a family after so long. This eventually, helped him let go of his trauma and turned him into the lovely soul he was always meant to be. But as fate would have it, these same people, wanted for Kyle to pursue his dreams because they saw the potential for greatness in him and the wonderous things he could go on to do, even if Kyle himself was oblivious to it. So, in an effort to make his dreams come true, they ended up gifting him a brand new chance, one that Kyle himself would only go on to realize after his untimely death in a fatal car accident. Now awake in the new world, still orphaned but with a brighter perspective on life, Kyle, armed with a System, another gift from his loved ones in the previous world, decides to take the chance to pursue his dreams of being a star, one that he was unable to pursue in his previous life due to his lack of talent. This is the story of a man who will go on to become the most versatile and renowned superstar all over the world... and it starts, just as he takes his first step into the cutthroat world of fame and fortune by registering for the popular singing reality TV competition, 'Rising Voices'. Known to be a fiercely competitive TV show, Kyle will meet with top contestants from around the world, go up against them, level up and become better, and ultimately, battle with them for the number one spot in the show as a dark horse! --- |AUTHOR NOTE| Just wanted to make it clear, that the singing competition which will be the first arc of the novel, will end around the late twenty-ish or early thirty-ish chapters. After that, you can expect so much more from the story so look forward to it! Also, although the setting is in a parallel world, all the songs, scripts and movies (although I will draw inspiration here and there), will be originals penned by yours truly (-‿◦).
