No, I'm here too early. This is not a story to be read in parts. I need 50chapters I can binge at once. This is so good. From the very first panel I could tell it was going to be something really special.
Mori, Rider, Aia, the god-like aliens, the quality art, the growing mystery. Everything is *chefs kiss*
I understand adapting a story to a different medium can be different, but I do think they're skipping too many scenes. Especially in regards to how impactful SeoJun's acting is to the people around him as well as how immense his popularity has truly gotten.
There's too many moments to list honestly. I do get that not everything can be included in an adaptation, but a significant portion of the novel is everyone's reactions to him. So the fact that it isn't more highlighted here is a bit disappointing. I keep feeling like parts of what made the novel truly enjoyable are missing. Afterall the story is about him being a "Superstar."
An example from this comic's recent chapter:
When SeoJun first arrives for his audition, you can feel his popularity in the words as the outsider's POV is taken on with a sense of anticipation.

Ding dong~
On the first floor.
"It's not him."
The last day of the audition for the children's play [Spring] and the day of the audition for the role of Blue Dragon
Since earlier, the eyes of the employees who came to work have been fixed on the elevator. Each time they heard the familiar ding-dong, their attention was immediately drawn to that location,.
When the door opened, and they saw someone who looked like a child with their, they would lift their heads up looked at the child.
If it is a girl with long hair, they would quickly notice that it is not him, but if they don't see the boy's face correctly, they would keep looking at the child.
When an employee who is in charge of checking the children's names shook his head, everyone began to do their job again with disappointment.
"Doesn't the audition start now?"
"When everyone comes we will start."
Everyone stared at the elevator at the employee's words.
Just in time, the elevator went down to the underground parking lot
He is now here!
>>>And this scene, just as he is about to audition, it depicts a crowd forming in the theatre.
Employees who were counting the number of children outside the concert hall gently opened the door and sat in the audience.
"Is this okay?"
"It's okay. It's okay. If not now, when would I be able to see Lee Seojun's acting in person?"
"Sunbae!"
"Why?"
"Aren't you the CEO?"
Everyone turned their heads at someone's words. The president of the Milky Way, who was contacted by the assistant director, quietly entered the concert hall and settled near the screening seat. After that, the other superiors also appeared.
While Seojun was waiting for director Park Ji-soo's call, almost all the people who knew about actor Lee Seojun's appearing in the concert hall arrived.
Unlike a while ago, when it was empty, the audience seats were now half-full, and unlike Seojun, who showed no sign of being famous, An Daho was able to confirm his actor's popularity and smiled without realizing it.

Yes, totally! (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
The problem also is I think the relationships of people close to Seojun are quickly shipped out in the manga. As you say his superstar side isn't supported enough either.
I think the problem comes mainly from the fact that the novel is long and the artist isn't in very good health ( ̄∇ ̄")
I read something similar, like two to three years ago. The MC starts streaming after his sister has him join her on her own stream. He tries it out, and it turns out he's a total VR genius. He unlocks hidden plots and all that. I'm pretty sure his character's hair had been white
Does anyone know which comic I'm talking about?
It's the Sleeping Ranker!! I remember because among all VR manhwa, the MC actually started to play VR not like the other manhwa's MC lol if everyone started playing because they're poor and trying to change their life, he actually just wnat to sleep because the time difference inside the game is huge. He have a sister that told him to play and enjoyed the game, but he always lied and said he was doing okay in the game, while in reality all he does is sleeping lol.
I read somewhere that apparently in the novel all of his family ultimately dies and Tess later on too. Is this true? I need to know so I can prepare my heart for that.
I want to believe the person that left that post was just playing but if not... (T_T)
