Starting as a Child Actor in This Life - Reviews

Finally, new updates

I am curious about the story of Tang Ling and Country D's young prince. Is there going to be another novel about them?

The narrative is solid, with clear explanations and progression. However, I feel it lacks pizzazz, particularly in terms of incorporating engaging netizen reactions or adequately portraying the MC's enthusiasm for show business. The recognition and accolades the protagonist receives are also underplayed or inadequately detailed. For now, I'll put it on hold, resuming only if my curiosity peaks and I desire to delve back into the story.

Firstly, this story feels like a cheap imitation of "Superstar from Age 0." Adaptations often suffer in manga versions, so after reading a few chapters, I decided to go back to the original novel. Surprisingly, the novel wasn't any different – both the manga and the book received ratings of around 2-3 out of 5 stars.

While "Superstar from Age 0" had a mediocre manga adaptation, the novel stood out with its stronger storytelling and imagination. Therefore, my recommendation would be to read the novel instead.

The story is solid overall, but the pacing is rather slow, which limits the discussion points for translated chapters. The translation quality is decent, with only occasional minor errors like gender mix-ups, occurring much less frequently than in some rushed machine-translated works.

What stands out to me is the intriguing contrast between the protagonist's adult mindset and his longing for emotional connection from his family, which still exists despite the divorce before his regression. There's currently no in-depth exploration or plan addressing this issue, and I assume it will be addressed in a future arc. Since the timeline for the divorce is unclear, it's hard to predict when that arc might occur.

While I appreciate novels that don't skip over childhood, the slow pace isn't a major concern for me personally. However, it may take several hundred chapters for the character to mature, establish a career, and engage in more substantial social interactions, which are still quite superficial at present.
