this is an mtl novel, so I edit the chapters to make them look presentable. If you ever see something fatal mistake in the chapters like this please comment to let me know.
the mc. ..... .. ... . how do i say this? I want to strangle him for his stupidity. and the female lead too. argh fts
More plot following villain MCs paired with yandere harems. To start this review off I'd like to say that I genuinely, from the bottom of my heart hate both harems and yanderes because they're lazy, uninteresting and gross.This novel isn't a trashy power fantasy for some degenerate to self insert into, it's an absurd comedy that playfully messes around with popular novel tropes.It feels like the MC has a harem (fortunately it doesn't even feel like a harem as there has been no contrived romance so far) of clowns and I'm all for it. While all of these characters are stereotypes they're actually parodies of themselves. The situations that arise when these characters interact is basically all this novel has to offer and it is funny.So at the end of the day this is a fairly well executed gag novel that parodies old school Chinese MCs and their harems. Though this review is written about chapters 1-19 of the novel which is very early on so this could go either way, I just hope it stays on the gag route. 2.5/5.
Sucks quite hard, there's literally nothing here about mc or anything other than him being crown prince's lackey. Every word in story is just about him completing missions for crown prince/princess. I give this review not because mc is general or whatnot under the prince, but because there's just nothing else than mc being unquestioning tool for the prince and doing missions for him/her. It's just boring and there's not even bit of an actual plot or story, mc just gets one mission after another and does them
The story was really good and all but after the reincarnation arc it got pretty boring and it's progressing so slowly but it doesn't change the fact that it's a really good novel
what can i say? nice ? great change of the usual stuff but its only till chapter 25.i don't know if the author can maintain the sense of dry humor of chuunibyou till the end
(Long review incoming) Up front caveat: The translation quality should actually get 2 stars, not 5, but overall this is a 5/5 novel for me because it makes up for the mistranslations in other ways. For a novel with so many flaws, this is a gem. I’ve been binge reading Hollywood novels lately and can say with a fair amount of certainty that this one is the best. The first one I read was “I am Hollywood”, which was also excellent, but it had two flaws that put it below this one: First, it was a dropped novel. I can’t stand it when a novel I enjoy reading is suddenly dropped by an author or translator. And second, it lost focus on being a “Hollywood Novel” (capital H capital N) and meandered about in the world of investing and corporate bullshit. The Best Director, on the other hand, remains true to its purpose, chronicling the life of the MC from the moment he gets his chest up until the very end. An end, might I add, that came too soon; I’d have liked this novel to be at least twice the length it is. Three times as long to account for the skippable chapters that add nothing to the plot or story. Which leads me to my first major complaint - filler content. I edit translated Chinese webnovels for a living, and as part of my job I’m exposed to all manner of methods WebNovel authors use to pad their word count. See, Qidian (and other webnovel publishers like 17k and Zongheng) pays authors a per-word rate. So authors have found many ways to increase word count, like in-chapter repetition, peanut galleries, long, drawn-out navelgazing bullshit, and so on. This novel has a particularly terrible method of padding its word count creep in about a third of the way through it: box office reports and critic reviews. Seriously, it gets to the point later in the novel where entire chapters are just dry lists of what movies made how much money that week. Out of the 500-odd chapters total, I’d say around 200 of them are skippable because the numbers aren’t even for the MC’s movies. And another hundred chapters or so have box office reports and critic reviews take up half the chapter without any warning whatsoever. It’ll skip directly from dialogue to box office and/or reviews without warning or any kind of transition whatsoever. It’s kinda bad like that. And the second major flaw is that the translator gets the names wrong. There’s a lot of inconsistency in names (Kevin Spacey and Kiefer Sutherland show up a lot, and Keira Knightley is referred to as Natalie every time she shows up), but what’s worse is that the translator didn’t bother looking up the correct American names of quite a few of the films mentioned. He or she also misses the times when the name of the movies change, like The Departed becoming The Deceased out of nowhere. As a translator, you can screw up anything *but* names. Names are the only thing that you must keep 100% accuracy and consistency on. So why did I rate this 5/5 despite those two massive flaws? Simple: character development. One of the things that almost no webnovel ever does is develop a character, much less the main characters. A common mistake they make is thinking that increasing strength (bigger numbers/Xianxia maths) is the same thing as character development. Spoiler: it is not. But in The Best Director, the entire main cast of characters grows and evolves, becoming better actors, better people, or just… better. It comes at the cost of removing conflict from the novel entirely, but the tradeoff is beyond worth it. It makes up for the cardinal sin of inconsistent names, it makes up for the virtually 300ish chapters you can either skim or skip entirely, it makes up for all of the other minor flaws that were so tiny I didn’t even bother remembering them. But wait! There’s more!The novel also actually has a proper ending. I may have wanted some of the storylines to continue (like how the MC had a whole big scene about buying the rights to adapt a certain major bestselling series, but the novel ended before he got around to doing just that), but the ending was really good. The author took their time to bring things to a proper close and it was very poignant at that. Those two virtues covereth a multitude of sins. So my advice is to read this novel. You won’t regret it.

Just had to make a review, and for real, I never make reviews. This **** is too awesome!!! It’ll pain my very soul if this is dropped for some ****ty system novel. The MC, the characters, the world, the monsters etc are all very exciting to read bout. Sigh, hopefully I don’t have to read it on some mtl site cause I will!!! ???????
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
I love this kinds of novels I hope it doesn't suddenly turn into novels like the Fishing the Myriad Heavens where the story suddenly diverted from main topic which is fishing to Cultivation novel.
