Novels not listed in NU:... more>>

- From Thug to Idol: Transmigrating to a Survival Show by SandKastle. 3/5. Chapter 157. On hold. Decent, entertaining read. June (MC) is kind of a pushover and I'm not convinced of his backstory. Bad pacing and progression of his idol skills, and I don't like how the villains pop up and suddenly hate June without reason. I'm tired of them and please just give June a break. However. The author absolutely succeeds at the performance scenes (5/5 in my head!!) - so beautifully emotional and vividly described, I can imagine them in my head so well. Probably the best performance scenes I've ever read.

- I became the Youngest Member of Top Idol. 3/5. Chapter 67. On hold. Average, ok read. Fine characters. I like the MC enough. The issue is that there's just nothing super special about it. <<less
