This was a fun story to read from start to finish. The first translator did an excellent job, accurately translating terms and maintaining the story's essence. The second translator, I suspect, uses machine translation, but it's acceptable as the core meaning is preserved. I became so engrossed in the story that I switched entirely to the machine-translated version, which maintained about 80% of the quality compared to other machine translations I've encountered.
In terms of pacing, the story is neither too slow nor too fast. It begins with Lee Seojun as a seven-month-old baby and, while it might seem like he stays the same age for a while, the narrative includes numerous time skips. These skips often show Seojun in school or jump to the release of his latest project, allowing him to age quickly yet gradually. Most of the story so far focuses on his teenage years and early adulthood, including his time as a university student.
Seojun is a delightful character to follow because of his intense focus on acting combined with a playful personality that makes even mundane situations entertaining. Consequently, there are no truly dull arcs. However, there were a few less engaging parts, particularly the movie "Witch and Wolf," which didn't resonate with me as much as other segments. Additionally, some movie reviews became repetitive, mostly recapping scenes we'd already seen during filming and initial screenings. Despite these minor issues, the content remained engaging enough to keep me hooked.
One of the story's strongest aspects is how effectively the author sets up events that pay off hundreds of chapters later. While some setups are predictable, others deliver surprising and satisfying revelations. Themes of fate, cause and effect, and Seojun's role in the world are woven seamlessly into the narrative. At times, it seems like the author is forcing certain incidents to boost Seojun's fame, but the overall execution feels natural and fulfilling.
Seojun's abilities enhance his acting, but they're not the sole reason for his success. His special skills—reincarnation and the Library of Life—complement his natural talent. Reincarnation allows him to be reborn into various forms (dragons, angels, mermaids, etc.), while the Library of Life lets him unlock abilities from his past lives. For example, if he was a dragon in a previous life, he can access the dragon's aura by reading about that life. When he acts as a sick or dying character, his performances are so convincing that he often has to reassure others that he's fine.
Seojun's rise to fame and success is rapid, but his positive personality keeps the story light and enjoyable. The author balances fan reactions and Seojun's professional life well, especially considering the extensive length of the novel. By the time Seojun reaches middle school, he has a dedicated fan base, which grows significantly as he enters adulthood. His playful nature as a celebrity adds to the story's charm. As of chapter 1133, the narrative is shifting, hinting at a new phase in Seojun's adult life, post-university.
It took me about 2.5 months to read all the available chapters, fitting the reading into my daily routine—during slow periods at work, on my commute, while watching TV, and before bed. If you're looking for an engaging entertainment novel, this one is highly recommended.
I was determined to reach the end of the available chapters because I accidentally discovered that Seojun ends up unconscious for several weeks. Given his reputation as a perfectly healthy and athletic individual, I was eager to uncover the reasons behind his hospitalization and the aftermath of his recovery. This plot twist suggests the story is entering a new arc as Seojun wakes from his slumber.
The book received a rating of 2.4 stars. It can be described as excessively wordy and, perhaps, endearing in a quaint way. The author spends too much detail on explaining everything, particularly the main character's (MC) thoughts, which often come across as frustrating, especially when it comes to his senior. If you're seeking a light, easy read without much of a plot, this might be a suitable choice. There's no dramatic tension, no conflict resolution through physical altercations, and no clear antagonist.
