My personal ratings:

Korean novels about the entertainment industry that I (personally) like and would recommend people to read.... more>>

I’ll try to write my opinion and a very short summary for the novels. Please note that the novels here are much better and will have way more that what my summary lets on. (I suck at making summary. Forgive me)

Feel free to write your recommendation on which novel I should read next :) <<less

The reading list consists of Korean and Chinese novels about people rising to stardom, making a name for themselves as behind-the-scene contributers, or talented traditional painting artists who strive for pure beauty of art.... more>>

Some chinese novels are yaoi and BL so it might not suit your taste, korean novels are either out of romance aspect or depict love between a man and a woman after great challenges.

The list is not a place where I put all the alike novels in. I have chosen novels with good to excellent plot, writing and translation, in other words, they the novels I love and have praised the most out of hundreds of art-related novels out there.

Hope you enjoy it! ～\（≧▽≦）/～ <<less

Korean novels 

Idol, actor, model, entertainment type of that I enjoy read

This is a list of things I have read which I think are great from the perspective of 'quality of craft' & 'quality of story'. In general those will be great reads for everyone as well, but will less include 'because I like this' focused listings of other 'great so long as you like this' stories.... more>>

That said, there are only so many 'objectively great' stories, so farther down the list I will put caveats (etc.) with less 'full measure' stories- either 'just good', or 'great if you like this', etc. I moved all the anri-social protags to another list.

If you know of something I should add to this list, feel free to comment a suggestion or PM.

I have written quite a few reviews for most of these and other works- feel free to check them out, and vote them up if you find them helpful. Thanks! <<less
