Is there any romance in there ?

It's a wonderful story. A reincarnation tale that steers clear of the isekai genre. Instead, it's a slice-of-life narrative where the protagonist uses the powers gained from reincarnation to help achieve his dreams.

I don’t understand why readers on NU keep giving low ratings because they can't see character development. If you're desperate for character development, you might want to read books tagged as "New York's Best Seller"; it seems like you should be reading those kinds of books.

The translation is quite decent. It's not so bad that it feels like you're reading a machine-translated work. Those who give poor reviews based on the translation are either too picky, act like they know everything, or have very low reading comprehension.

The book is well-written, and the story is laid-back. If you've watched or read "Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill," you'll find a similar vibe when reading this one. The movies and series the author describes are captivating, and reading those scenes will make you feel like you're watching a real movie. I particularly enjoyed the films "Over the Rainbow" and "My Clinic" (the series where the protagonist grapples with whether he's using his ability just right or overusing it).

The main character has lived multiple lives, some short, some long, but he has never been human in any of them. He is always a monster.

All the books present stories where he dies young. These include tales of weak monsters and monsters with short lifespans. He can't even estimate the number of books here.

From these lines, you can understand how many lives he has led and how many deaths he must endure to achieve a peaceful life in a human body.

So, what kind of character development do people expect from him? If I were a god and saw the main character go through all those lives, I would place him in a world where he could live a peaceful, fulfilling, and easy life.

Some might think he's overpowered because of the library. Not true. He practices and learns for each role he takes on. He studied the violin, learned to dance, and even acted. He practiced and waited for eight months to perfect his role as a villain. The books and his ability only provide the aura he needs for the role, making it more realistic and closer to what he wants. He still does the acting himself (you'd have to be pretty dumb to think it's all thanks to the ability).

Dear Translator,

It seems there's an issue. Every time I attempt to read this fantastic story, I end up being redirected to the NovelUpdates main page. It’s been quite some time since I last read it, and I’m eager to dive back in. I’ve tried refreshing the page and even waited to see if the issue would resolve itself, which it did briefly, but then the problem returned. I’d rather not keep repeating the process of refreshing and waiting, so could you or someone else assist me?

By the way, for anyone wondering whether this story is worth reading, it absolutely is. The narrative is filled with comedic moments, heartwarming family and friend interactions, and a lovable child character. What more could you ask for?

, I hope this issue gets resolved soon, and I encourage everyone to give this story a chance. Thanks!

Edit: The issue has been fixed, thank you so much to whoever resolved it.

Best regards,
[Your Name]

I really enjoyed this novel! Initially, I was a bit skeptical based on some of the reviews, but once I started reading, I couldn't put it down and finished it in one sitting. One reviewer mentioned that the main character (MC) acts like a child despite living through thousands of lives, but this is actually well-explained in the story. The MC deliberately seals away his memories to prevent one life from influencing another. He only accesses these memories when he feels mentally prepared. As a result, when he is reborn, he genuinely remembers nothing. Additionally, his only human life was his first one, which he clearly states he doesn't remember at all, and his early memories don’t describe how the world works. Therefore, in terms of understanding human society, he is very much like a newborn.

Regarding the criticism that there's no character development and that he relies solely on his cheat skills, I strongly disagree. We see him make mistakes and realize that what he thought was right was actually wrong, such as in the "My Clinic" death scene. Moreover, while his skills certainly help him stand out, he still has to put in the work. He’s not just relying on his abilities; he’s a genuinely talented actor.

I also love reading about the new movies and dramas he creates, how he brings them to life, and the public's reactions. My favorites so far have been "Blue Dragon" and, of course, "Over the Rainbow." The scenes with the children in the play and the way "Over the Rainbow" was promoted, shot, and transcended being just a movie gave me literal chills.

As you progress through the novel, the translation can get a bit quirky at times, but if you can overlook that, it’s a really engaging and enjoyable read.
