This type of MC is my favorite! I love the cheerful energetic youthfulness 🥺

edit: I just binge read all of the translated chapters 🥴

This food is so good I could live on it ❤️
I'm in an extremely good mood now 🥰

In this period of time where everything is bleak and dark. This story has filled my heart with good feelings. It's like me watching the first episode of Queer Eye.

I first thought that this would be a story where dog blood drama exists and I'd be fed with glass shards but I was wrong. Our leads are the kind of people you'd want to have in your life. Funny but at the same time mature, Wei ge (shou) despite being pitted against by fans against Yiliang (gong) doesn't get carried... more>> away with it, and neither does Yiliang put much stock into what his fans say but he does understand that their (baseless) warnings come from a good place.

The small commentary on stan culture was on point too, a lighthearted criticism of how fans interact (the good and the bad) with their bias, when it comes to our idols we really do end up being way too emotionally invested that sometimes we cross the lines. At the same time Wei ge's innocent thoughts about shipping culture is funny and lighthearted. To quote Wei ge, "

Pray tell, when the entire internet indulges in bickering about the non-existent enmity and hatred between you and your adversary, what does it mean when a minority of them persevere in believing the romance and love that was completely non-existent between you and your adversary? Just what exactly does that mean?

This was a declaration of righteousness and love! This meant that only goodness and beauty existed in their hearts!

So long as everyone devoted a little love, the world would turn into a wonderful place!"

The story isn't done being translated but from these four chapters alone I already know that this would give the same good and warm feelings the same way as Love You 59 seconds.

Therefore I'd recommend this story to readers who like entertainment industry stories without the dog blood drama, or someone who'd like to start reading queer fiction. The translator did a good job and I can feel the amount of care the author has put into writing this light story. <<less

This. This is pure. I will protect the purity of this adorbly hilarious fluff.

The MC is so f*cking smooth! Like seriously! He doesn't even know it!

It's so pure, and good, and cute, I just, best. Best BL. If anyone dares slander this, I shall slice open their stomach!

This thing, I very much recommend not reading this in a public place. Read it in the comfort of your home without sitting near anyone especially not near sleeping people.

It's so f*ck*ng fluff that you'll be screaming and throwing nearby things. The MC's embarrassment is the reader's embarrassment.
Most lines you'll just have to stop and scream then move on to the next line only to repeat the same frenzy.

The MC is just so lovably naive constantly making me shout "MC! For once, shut your trap up lest you wanna... more>> be gobbled up whole by the ML!"

This work is just ❤❤❤ <<less

(ch4)

I'm absolutely amazed that I can enjoy reading in first person this much and I'm enjoying it very much because the protagonist is just adorable? He's so funny? Everyone pits him against this other actor but he just doesn't see why, and then when he finds the World of Shipping filled with fan works with him and his 'rival' he gets so ridiculously, relatably invested and it's just great. Plus his dramatic reactions to himself making social mistakes? Valid.

His rival's thought process is just as engaging, hovering around... more>> tolerant and amused and then oh you know downright smitten with the protagonist (his 'cute' counter is iconic), and I just really enjoy seeing these two interacting in person, alongside the anecdotes of learning about each other from diving online. It's, altogether, so cute. I'm grateful to the translator for picking this up!

Edit: It is now chapter 13 and I take none of this back. They're my babies and this is just so enormously cute and funny I can't handle it. 🥺 <<less

Ok... Ch4... and I want to cry from laughing too hard x'D

Holy shit, oh my lord whoever made this is pure genius!

So far it's light yet funny AF (some misunderstanding but not cringy one), really can't wait for the next chapter xD!

I'm speechless; I had to type this 3 times because I kept typoing--

HOW IS THIS SO FUNNY? (ノಠ益ಠ) ノ彡┻━┻

This story deserves *WARNING do not read in public* plastered all over it because if you do, you'll end up dying or throwing your keyboard and become branded as a lunatic like m--

It's just so good and hilarious!! So far, the MC, despite being frickin' adorable when talking about his rivalry, is already shown to also be frickin' badass when defending his friends. He has the best internal monologues. I love it.... more>> ML is so cute too! They're portrayed like real people and with understanding of their profession and their fans. Ugh, just too sweet.

I was super tempted to read the raws BUT the translation is so damn precious I am willing to wait. Big thumbs up and thank the translators for their hard work!

Spoiler

For me there was zero sadness... even the hilarious misunderstanding that blew up after that *cough* phone call, cough. Ahhh I died so much...

[collapse]

Edit: ok ok I gave in and read the raws BUT BUT BUT I will still faithfully follow the translation and re-read and crack up all over again-- <<less

Eyow peeps. I have completed mtling it.

Gotta say one thing for sure, its cute af but also saddened at one point.

This story is just full of sugar and fluff. Very cute and funny!

Read through the raws in 1 day. Had me laughing throughout the read~ It might seem illogical at first (like why can he get good resources in the entertainment circle despite being 3rd tier, and why is he paired with a better tiered actor like the ML) but it gets explained later on~

I love the POVs from ML inserted among the MC's, but there should totally be more of them.

Good relaxing read if you're tired of all the... more>> angst and drama from other novels :) <<less

...I’ve only read 2 chapters, but it somehow got me hooked?!

It’s written in a way that makes you fall for the MC, and though the ML haven’t shown up yet, he’s been introduced in a way that makes you look forward to their encounters.

I can already imagine having to book an appointment at the dentist from all the fluff and sweetness. (O//O)

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!

The author is selling all the meng out there!!!!

So CUTE!!!!!!!!!!

... more>> It's so damn fluffy and so sweet that I'm afraid I'll have to check my sugar level tomorrow!!!

How can the MC be this adorable and to the MC.....I feel you bro!!

All of us fujoshi and fudanshi think that our CP is true.. hahahahaha

This is so NSFW without being NSFW (I hope there is some though... lol)

I couldn't stop myself from writing this review before even completely reading all the translated chapters (on a side note thanks a bunch TLors.. muah)... this is an overkill for those who like fluff, even 'the' me who is into light-angst these days couldn't stop my heart from melting...

Again I'm warning you guys not to read it outside.... while reading I was giggling and then LOLing and had a weird smile on my face, my dorm-mates are weirded out by me.... hehehehe..scratching my head foolishly

Recommending to all!!! Recommending to all!!! Recommending to all!!!

Important things should be said three times!!!

Happy reading...... going back to read all of it by tonight...runs at the speed of light!!!!! <<less

Can't express enough of my love for this fluffy piece.♥️🥺

Both MC and ML are so likeable, those misunderstanding poke my meng point aggressively 😍

The only downback is I'm desperate for MORE!!! 🥺 Dear translator please please translates this gem a bit more per month uwu

It's simple and sweet. Very pure. There's not much to say besides those. I love it, a respite from reading too many tension filled novels.

I've been watching the untamed (live action of the grandmaster of demonic cultivation - also a BL novel here).. and I keep thinking that the two main actors are the MC and the ML in this novel, LOL...

A hilariously meta story about an actor that becomes an rpf shipper... of himself and his main rival. Super super funny - the first half is probably the highest laugh per word story I've read in a long time. There are a couple of tropey over the top developments in the second half, but still enjoyable and very fluffy. The s*x is also refreshingly realistic (ally disastrous) and not problematic.

An easy and entertaining read. I'd give it more stars if I could!

Things I enjoy:

• The MC's hilarious inner monologue. I laughed at the MC's embarassing situations that he falls into and I like that he just rolls with it naturally even if he is internally screaming
• The writing style with first person POV + cutting the MC's inner monologue when he's in Situation into small pieces. It has the effect of seeming like MC is startled/brain freeze at the Embarassing Situation or Thought and is trying to recover/rolls with the punches. It works well with the story!!

Things that don't work for me:

• Nothing yet!!

I've been reading too much historical stories with imperial intricacies and this story gave a refreshing wind 😍

I'm glad the novel already completed and can't wait for the translator finishing translating it 😍😍

5 STARS!! 5 STARS!!! 5 STARS!!!

SOOO funny HAHAHA it starts off a little awkwardly but gets pretty cute very quickly. Ohhhh man I love this hahaha.

This MC is so great. It's especially funny because you can tell even before he himself actually liked the ML he was rooting for and swooning over "them" as a fan on the ship.

I do have two grievances with this though. Firstly, the thing about him being a really bad actor yet paired with super actor ML, and having same number of fans, is a... more>> lil too hard to believe. Secondly, all the POVs from the perspective of the ML is way too naive and like, childish..? Unbefitting of his cool image, the denseness is cute but the simplicity and obliviousness (esp as a top actor!!) is a lil much

All in all, I WANT MORE #NIANGZI #REAL. Idk what's up with the translator but I'm beggingggg <<less

fluffy. I totally ship the MC with his adversary.
