Superstar From Age 0 - Reviews

Absolutely delightful. Light and fluffy with minimal conflict. A soothing read for a weary soul. My personal elixir, a comfort to my parched, post-angst self. The characters are endearing, and the little past-life stories are truly charming. Read it!!!!

This novel can be quite enjoyable if you focus on the Main Lead’s (ML) journey and find pleasure in it. However, too much attention might make you dislike him, as the ML is incredibly fortunate, beloved by everyone he encounters.

On the bright side, the stories of the films in which the ML works can be entertaining. Conversely, I detest one of his films so much that I avoid reading the chapters about it.

As someone who started with the manhwa, I must say its artwork is charming and there’s really no reason to overlook it and move to the novel.

Honestly, if you haven’t begun reading either the manhwa or the novel, consider adding the manhwa to your to-read list, even if you doubt you’ll get to it soon. Check it out next year or so.

I wrote this review mainly to keep track of my own progress, so please take it with a grain of salt.

A really unique take on reincarnation and full of heartwarming interactions.

Details about the reincarnation:

So, the main character (MC) doesn’t inherit all of his past memories right away; instead, he stores them in a mental library. He can choose which memories to access and will form new ones as he grows older. It’s also refreshing to see that, despite being reincarnated, the MC doesn’t instantly have the mentality of an adult. His mental development progresses gradually, and there are many moments where he acts like a typical child his age, which makes him endearing. This approach is a refreshing change from other reincarnation stories where the MC immediately possesses an adult’s mentality.

10/10 Amazing Read!

An incredible slice-of-life web novel that is also being adapted into a fantastic manga. I love stories that delve into the celebrity lifestyle and upbringing, which this novel does beautifully. I can't wait to read more as it continues to be translated!

This novel is a 10/10 for me. Even in the machine-translated version, every word (well, not every single word, but still) shines. I've cried, laughed, and smiled while reading it. It's relatable in a way that captures the essence of daily life and normal experiences, along with the emotions they evoke. Over the course of 600+ chapters, numerous characters are introduced, and each one is impacted by Lee Seojoon's actions.

This novel feels like a journey with a character, but the character seems so real that it’s as if they are right beside you. I highly recommend this for anyone who is fairly empathetic and tends to cry when deeply invested in a novel. It’s a worthwhile read and, without a doubt, one of the most memorable I’ve come across.

The story is so incredibly engaging, but the initial translation is really difficult to read. I find it hard to connect with any of the characters, and I constantly have to pause to figure out what’s being said, which ruins the flow.

It’s not the worst translation I’ve ever encountered; it’s still comprehensible. Personally, though, I just can’t tolerate it. I must be spoiled by all the fantastic translated novels I’ve read before. I guess I’ll just have to wait for the manhwa. I also noticed there’s a new translator now, but I haven’t checked if they’re any better. Maybe if they retranslate from the beginning, I might give it another shot. If that ever happens, though.

It's fantastic! I was expecting it to be about Reincarnation, but I was completely blown away by the main character's abilities! Actually, the real reason I'm writing this review is to share that I found an MTL site with translation quality on par with this one! It's called 'Koreanmtl,' and I just had to let everyone know!

The translation is just a bit better than machine translation. The story focuses on the main character's exceptional abilities, derived from the skills accumulated across numerous past lives. The plot is decent, not terrible, but progresses quite slowly. There are repetitive elements (encounter a problem > oh! I can use this skill to solve it > Finished! > I am famous). I decided to stop reading here because this kind of long, slice-of-life novel isn't my preferred genre.

For Korean showbiz novels, I prefer 'Become a Star,' which I am currently reading. It is much more detailed and clear-cut.

The main character is quite cute and very kind so far. However, he can be a bit mischievous at times.

I enjoy reading the mini stories from his past life, especially the one where he was a mimic box.

I'm looking forward to future updates.

It's a really cute slice of life. Jun is kind and funny and genuinely cares for his friends, which is adorable. I love seeing his passion for acting every time, even though he's talented in multiple areas like music, sports, and arts—he always chooses acting above everything else. He uses his abilities a lot, but even without them, he is still a capable actor; they might give him a boost, though.

There are no real villains (just some bad people occasionally), and I like that because it makes the show relaxing. Jun has many connections with all the people he has acted with, leading to a diverse cast of characters from different countries. Sometimes it can be a bit overwhelming, but most of them have distinct personalities and aren't just bland.

I really like Jack and the Shadowman cast. The translation is a bit rough but still readable.

*Over The Rainbow* is my favorite work of his. The story was incredible and deeply emotional. It was the first time a musical background played a crucial role in his work, and I appreciated how invested he was. Jason (the assistant) is so sassy, and I love it, and his father-son dynamic with Benjamin (the composer) is cute. The way he donated part of his salary to help children in situations similar to Gray's almost brought me to tears.

1. I love this story; it's everything a simple slice-of-life novel should be. There's no overly complex plot or an evil, jealous villain trying to ruin the main character’s life. It's simple, beautiful, and interesting. The main character as a child actor was particularly endearing, and I enjoyed every bit of it.

2. For those who gave it a one-star review, it seems they're not really into this genre. They should stick to action-packed novels or bestsellers. It's important to appreciate the author's effort in maintaining the original plot, unlike some novels that change everything.

3. I love the characters, especially how they portray Seo Jun—it brings me so much joy. The plot is definitely a great read if you're looking for a slice-of-life story.

It's quite relaxing reading this story. If you're hoping for some backstabbing, revenge, or anything of that sort, you won't find it here.

The story begins when the main character (MC) is a baby, and we follow him growing up in a safe and loving environment. You might find the beginning a bit fluffy, but it’s definitely worth it, especially if you enjoy reading while relaxing with a cup of tea. The story itself isn’t particularly heavy or complex, which is a plus.

I gave it four stars because I can only read the machine-translated version (MTL). The link provided doesn’t seem to work; it always sends me back to the homepage.
