I think it could work especially with your writing style and if you feel like you need some drama(seeing how companies don't like idols dating and neither do the fans usually)

no romance right now! (i don't think this novel will focus on romance, too). if there will be, it'll be very minimal!

the novel is very good. i am constantly looking for new chapters..............................................................................................................................however, there is something missing. say this, if June was not a thug and just a normal transmigration, would there be any difference in the story. man you have completely obliterated the traits, he should have gained in the process. he should at least have caution and planning. you have said that he was becoming stronger than his boss, he should be one of the best. despite repeated targeting, there is not even a hint of pre planning, if anything goes wrong. he got stabbed, this should have been huge and at least the ex phoenix employee's fate should have been given and at least a paragraph should have been given detailing the police procedures, the arrest of the two including the person that allowed the two on set. moreover, there is his killer present in front of him, i can understand, he cant do anything now and his main target now is to save his sister but at least cautious behavior and the scene of mc planning should have been enough. the expensive things given should have been at least stashed to safety in his own house or even keep it temporarily with choi. being a thug working for money, i assume it would be his nature to protect money or expensive stuff. he could have planned to sell some to upgrade is phone. inner monologues hinting at his future plans while his enemies are in front taunting or faking politeness might be good too.......................................................................................................... the story as i said is very good and i don't expect him to act as a super spy but at least give us something to act as reminder to us of him being a super thug outside of thug like speech and martial arts. his adversary stabbed him but he still takes his potential enemies lightly................................................................................................................................author, please don't take it badly but i believe if these aspects can be improved, it might be better. thank you and waiting for updates.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I do want to take these things into consideration: 1. Being in a gang and being an idol is two completely different things (one that June isn't really used to yet). 2. June still hasn't uncovered the truth about Joon-ho's life, and is preoccupied with the survival show. 3. I try to incorporate Jun Hao's "caution and planning" during these targeted attacks, but can only do so much with the current June's knowledge of the situation. 4. Right now, I'm focusing on the idol survival show prospect and would delve into the deeper, more darker, stuff as we go by. However, I do appreciate your critical comment. I will try to incorporate such traits in the upcoming chapters (the ones I haven't written yet), as June will continue to face challenges. Please do note that I am still a rookie in this genre, i.e. fantasy, transmigration, and have a difficult time incorporating such themes. Another thing to note is that I am going for a more comedic route for this novel (as I am still learning how to write serious themes), so take this with a light heart. With your comment, I'll surely try my hardest!

For Author’s view only. Rating 3/5: This book is in my library for 2+ months. I started reading but stopped after reading 8 or 9 chapters. I don’t have anything to read now So I gave it a push. I’m the type of reader who says for what it is. I READ A LOT(WN, Kindle, P*treon, Ibook platforms etc). So I believe I have expertise to provide technical comments on books. The book is good(kinda). Well the review is divided into pre 150 and post 150 chapters. The first half is good. The second half started good but it is going downhill real quick. Lots of folks might have mentioned positives but I’m concentrating more on cons of this book. These are my issues with the book. 1.) There is actually no growth in MC skill wise (singing, production etc) meaning he is heavily system reliant. The Author failed to show how the MC is improving by relying on system PLOT ARMOR. 2.) For an ex mafia member MC is WAY TOO PASSIVE. I mean at certain point you feel like he is a PUSHOVER. He also acts STUPID. I mean who tells the villain about his impending doom only for villain to rectify it? He might have a SAINT behavior in mafia gang but after spending so many years, he need to have that knack feeling similar to 6th sense. A different author who wrote similar genre book has implemented that 6th sense to the MC really well. If you want I can elaborate on that. We do not want a COLD BLOODED MC but MC who has a genuine head on his shoulder. 3.) Author likes to create too much UNNECESSARY AMATEUR drama. There is no point in creating that UNNECESSARY AMATEUR drama only for MC to come out unscathed. As a reader we like plot progression with main characters personal growth. Not this type of plot progression by creating unnecessary amateur drama only to get resolved few chapters later. Some drama is necessary like the 2 characters from original Joon’s past as it is presented as a necessary thread but the other stuff like the Moon/Xin is UNNECESSARY. This line of writing is predominantly written by asian authors as it gets traction from local populace but from a global WN perspective only certain section of readers stick with book and the other drop the book VERY quickly(I’m also asian BTW). Global audience LOVES DRAMA but the drama should be CREATIVE, TENSE, NAIL BITING. This style of drama is implemented by hundreds of other authors previously and most of those books failed. They wrote 1000+ chapters but all of them are a pile of junk books that folks don’t read. There are ways to rectify the point1 and 3. For point2 I already provided how. If you want to use that 6th sense thing do it subtilely and don’t force implement in a single chapter. Point 1.) In order to make MC less reliant on system, you need to portray MC in a way that he is actually putting some effort like listening to multiple genre music, going through production scores, dabbling with instruments etc. All these things at least on a macro level should be shown to readers. Your goal is for MC to become a top idol. No one becomes top idol if they are messing around and you need to show it. Point 3.) This is kinda difficult to put into words but I will try. June is the face of the book. Not Lin Zhi. Not loufa(White Tiger leader) but June. These Lin Zhi, Loufa, White Tiger gang are categorized as sub drama threads meaning they are just canon fodder drama aspects. The real drama should be how MC struggles to become an Idol like his learning process, how he gets his creative concepts, how he gets new opportunities etc. Audience aspective should be secondary. The primary concern is how he fights to get the limited opportunities as an independent artist. Currently he is in a label but his end goal should be owning his own record label and producing his own songs. I don’t know your thought process but if you want him to become a top idol, at certain point he needs to step out of Korea meaning he needs to become a global star. Honestly speaking, If comparing same genre music there are 100’s of western artists who could wipe the floor skill wise compared to asian artists because hip hop/ pop/ r&b etc are predominantly used in west similar to Basket Ball and Soccer. You can show more drama here by how MC is struggling to break into a global artist. I’ll also join discord(If available). You can ping me over there and you can also reply me here if you read the review.
