Oh my god I cannot agree more. Especially since I just recently finished 500 chapters of the novel and they're getting better and better at character development and the settings are all very creative. Imho this need to be rated at least 9.5
The MC is not the perfect MC. He has flaws and is trying to get better. And HE DOES get MUCH BETTER. The people around him also has a complex character that's why things are not easy for him. It will get revealed more in the novel too how everyone has their own characteristics, habits, past, and their own way of thinking.
Some comments said he doesn't even want to become an idol, he wants solo. Nope. That's not true at all that's why this system is made for him.
I would like to spill a lot of spoilers to the ones not liking this bevause of that reason but I can't and I shouldn't so... it's kinda frustrating.
There are reasons why Eden is acting like shit at beginning too. There are reasons for every actions the MC and his friends acted like that towards him (basically Eden is just a kind-hearted bad mouthed and bad tempered jerk so he's easily misunderstood).
The novel author is genius imho, aside from the realistic long ass novel because they really went thoroughly of his journey towards 30M fans.
FUCK. RISE THE RATING!!!! THIS IS MORE WORTHY THAN A MERE 9.0
I tell you, I re-read this many times in just one day already to figured out something, since I have a bad habit when I read, which is reading so fast that I always messed up the details.
The first 7 chapter? Yes, it's trash. And I'm not mad at the MC, like fucking hell I'll be acting like him too. How come the members acting that way? Being so hurt at whatever MC doing when he just tried to save the group? Even if you're not close to him, are you guys that dense to figured out he actually said that for the group? Also the CEO is freaking annoying too. It's a miracle he only get scammed by that producer, and not with the investment money or anything more shady. Anyway enough for the judging, after chapter 8 everything got better SO FUCKING READ IT PEOPLE!
