Originally I want to rate this novel with 4 stars but I rate this novel with 5 stars since I'm not sure why someone rate this novel with 1 star when the translation only caught up to chapter 3.

So far I quite like this novel. Unlike Debut or Die (also an idol novel that I like), the group in this novel took a slow pace towards success... which I found pleasant to read. The group starts from the bottom and despite the regression, the mc's doesn't become op in an... more>> instant. <<less

I remembered reading this until the cutoff period of free chapters in Ridibooks.

I missed Shin, my invisible pretty boy. Happy to see this novel translated since it's dear to my heart.

Really love Space's early days since it's such a fun thing to make use of what would normally be seen as a humiliating disadvantage into a unique strength to gain an audience.

Spoiler

The female characters aren't written as love interests (except for one actress who seems to be a hopeless romantic and a nameless character that Shin had a crush on in his past life) but it also comes with caveat of the unfortunate reality of idols: territorial fans.

The way Space fans rejected an up and coming actress for doing her job in a competition when she was paired with Shin was vile.

Shin can't even interact with female coworker unless they're far apart in age or appeared completely uninterested.

The author seem to jump between pity at idols being seen as exclusive to fans and never addressing the core reason why said fans turn into obsessed stalkers.

They'll blame the individual but not the fact idols themselves sell that fantasy to their audience and push that it's the idol's duty to remain celibate.

There's no distinct between public and private, intertwining reality with an idealized image.

At least it's acknowledged that idols are humans who also have love lives but the premise is still seen as a betrayal to fans on par with criminal charges.

The only idols seen dating are ones who have multiple partners and messy love lives.

The way Shin scolded his member for being caught in a dating scandal felt excessive, especially since they were six years active and popular by that point.

Even until the end with their contract renewal, the dating ban was never said to be lifted.

Reading idol novels while carrying this cognitive dissonance can drive a normal person crazy.

[collapse]

After a certain point however, the idol group activities end up pushed in the background as the members occasionally reunite to record songs and do concerts plus fan meetings while everyone is carving their own niche in the Showbiz industry.

So it's more or less focused on Lee Shin the idol actor. <<less

The premise isn't that extraordinary, but the characters drive the story. There's not a lot translated yet, but a bunch of characters have already been shown in significant depth and have even had development, whereas many other novels leave characters to be more static during the initial arcs.

There's also a good contrast between the characters before the regression (or what the MC thought of them at the time) and afterwards, when there's still room for redemption for some of them.

Even side characters have interesting personalities and their own active plots... more>> that make me want to keep reading to find out what happens next and how they end up.

Overall it's an entertaining story of how someone who was originally egoistic tries to turn around his entire group to succeed together. <<less

I gave it 5 stars but my actual rating is 4.5. This is mainly because the story is good but I felt the ending was rushed. I liked the MC because although he gets constant power ups, I didn't think it was undeserved because he is hardworking. I also like that he doesn't give up on any members of the group but pushes them to improve. What didn't sit right with me was not even the main antagonist but [the main antagonist' father. He's too tr*shy. To actually divorce your... more>> first wife and marry another one of a higher social status and pretend that you did it because you loved and wanted to protect your first wife is pretty two faced. And I also didn't like that the first wife just left her child behind for this reason. In this way, I felt bad forthe main antagonist because you can understand the source of his anger. I also felt that he deserved to have been given a fair chance to fight for the heir position because his maternal family also helped with the growth and stability of the company][/spoiler] The current translators are doing a good job but I think it'd be nice to upgrade their current site. <<less

The novel is seems really nice, the spacing, translations and the plot. I just started but it seems very promising can’t wait for more chapters and I really don’t understand why someone would rate it one star, like while it’s not everyone’s cup of tea, it’s definitely well written and translated

MC is a former idol who has regrets, finds himself regressing 10 years ago when he first debuted, gets a mysterious game system that gives him missions, and uses his knowledge and experience to change his future and be successful. Standard idol novel formula, but it has good writing and has a few unique aspects. For instance, their group doesn't have the brotherhood and closeness found in a lot of idol novels and the story starts with their leader being kinda shitty to everyone. While there are promises of character... more>> growth and friendship, for a while MC really only gets along with one other member in the group. A good idol novel for fans of the genre who want something fresh. <<less
